" In revising my father's edition of "Julius Caesar," I have been influenced by changed conditions of English teaching in high schools since the time when his work was done. The greater number of pupils, the consequent adequacy of reference material, the more general and less specialized literary preparation, and the broader aims and ideals of the rising generation, - all these conditions demand a different type of annotation from that of twenty-five years ago. "

" My own recent problems in teaching "Julius Caesar" with college preparatory, commercial, and technical classes have led me to include in the present edition the following six features not found in my father's work: a fuller and more informational array of notes; a study of the structural elements of the play; a discussion of the sources of the tragedy, with numerous quotations from North's "Plutarch"; a list of familiar quotations from "Julius Caesar"; an account of Shakespeare, the man, - his life, work, reputation, and the theatre for which he wrote; and finally a list of practical, usable topics for oral and written composition. These six new features will be found in the appendix following the text of the play. "

" It is hoped that this additional material will not only increase the interest of the student, but that it will also lighten the labor of the teacher. "
