Excerpt from The Tenth and Twelfth Books of the Institutions of Quintilian: With Explanatory Notes The experience of two years has shown not only that this author can be read with the ad vantages above suggested, but also that classes are better prepared by this study to take up the more peculiar and more difficult writers of the silver age, and especially Tacitus} The gulf, if I may so express it, between the Latinity of Livy and Tacitus, is in a manner bridged over by what may be called the intermediate or transitional style of Quintilian.
