FOR LATIN PROSE.

MR. PALMER.

Titus Manlius was a person of high rank, and of the first degree of nobility; he afterwards received the cognomen of Torquatus. We have been informed that the cause of this cognomen was a chain, a golden spoil, which he took away from an enemy whom he slew, and afterwards Who the enemy was, of how great and formidable stature, how audacious the challenge, and in what kind of battle they fought, Quintus Claudius, in his first book of Annals, has described with much purity and elegance, and in the simple and unadorned sweetness of ancient language. When Favorinus the philosopher read the passage from this book, he used to say that his mind was affected with no less serious emotion than if he had seen the combatants engaged before him.
