H¿c in libr¿ offertur l¿ct¿r¿ nova ¿diti¿ f¿bulae "Alicia in Terr¿ M¿r¿bil¿" in Lat¿num ann¿ 1964¿ ¿ Clive Harcourt Carruthers conversae. Differt ¿ pr¿m¿ ¿diti¿ne dübus praecipüs r¿bus: cum quod discr¿men nunc serv¿tur inter "i" litteram v¿c¿lem et "j" litteram vim c¿nsonantis habentem, tum quod omn¿s v¿c¿l¿s longae sunt l¿neol¿s superscr¿pt¿s ¿rn¿tae. Omnium v¿c¿lium longit¿din¿s d¿ligenter exqüs¿tae sunt, etiam in syllab¿s positi¿ne long¿s. In pauci¿ribus syllab¿s, qürum v¿c¿lium longit¿din¿s aut nunc incertae sunt, aut manifest¿ etiam ant¿qüs temporibus vacill¿bant, v¿c¿l¿s sine l¿neol¿s scr¿ptae sunt.

It differs from Carruthers' original text chiefly in two ways: a regular distinction between the vowel "i" and the consonant "j" has been made, and long vowels are marked with macrons consistently throughout. All vowels have been carefully investigated, including the vowels in syllables long by position. In a few isolated cases where the classical vowel lengths are in dispute, or where usage evidently vacillated, the vowels have been left unmarked. The Latin-English glossary at the end has been greatly enlarged. Instead of treating only a few Neo-Latin words and phrases peculiar to this book, the extended glossary now also covers over two hundred less common classical words. It is our hope that this will enable a much larger group of our readers to enjoy Carruthers' translation without having to resort to external dictionaries.
