PREFACE<br />

rilHE Fourth Book <strong>of</strong> the Annals is an excellent<br />

-*- introduction to Silver Age Latin and to the<br />

history <strong>of</strong> the early Principate ; and altogether it<br />

is a most stimulating subject, as I found from<br />

reading it with Dr Butler in the Sixth Form at<br />

Harrow in 1874. Little did I then think that<br />

more than ' forty years on ' I should receive from<br />

the Syndics <strong>of</strong> the Press a request to edit this<br />

book in their Series. <strong>The</strong>re are many books <strong>of</strong><br />

various kinds to help the editor <strong>of</strong> <strong>Tacitus</strong> in his<br />

work. I am especially indebted to Nipperdey,<br />

Halm, Furneaux, Boissier, and Ramsay.<br />

Cambridge,<br />

March, 1915.<br />
