Overview

For readers who like fairy stories and romance, who like to read of sea-fights and adventure, this account of "The Adventures of Captain Mago" has been translated into excellent Latin by Dr. Arcadius Avellanus, and my advice to those who take the book up, is--don't turn the reading into work. The Latin is not very difficult. Some of the descriptions may not be easy, but descriptions can be passed over and the action is not hard to follow. After reading a few pages in this manner you will be surprised to find that the book can be read for the sake of the story.

Paginæ hicce secuturæ nihil sibi novi, nihil eruditæ disquisitionis, vindicant. Solum earum atque unicum propositum est, imaginem priscorum temporum, ut mundus mille ante Christianum ævum annis exstiterat, adumbrare, popularique, præsertim pro iuventute, sermone summam exhibere notitiarum, rerumque multifariarum, quæ nobis in libris passim obviam fiunt, qui libri, partim propter caritatem pretii, partim propter rationem abstrusam ac doctam narrationis, plerisque haud patent.

Verendum mihi erat, ne si paginas fictæ huius narrationis, quippe cuius solum propositum est doctrinam iucunde impertiri, effusis notis onerarem, totum opus obruerem: licet hic tamen semel memorare, omnia, quæ hic historiam Phœnicum respiciunt, ex uno alterove opere auctorum, a me consultorum, amplissimis argumentis suffulciri posse.
