Stirling Collection
John Stirling composed a series of very useful Latin paraphrases, where he augments the Latin text and rewrites it, to make it more accessible to a student.
These texts are now little known, and are no longer used in schools. I believe that they are extremely useful.

Flori - Rerum Romanarum Epitome
Index to John Stirling's Latin Paraphrase of Florus' Rerum Romanarum Epitome. (In Four Books)
Lucius Annaeus Florus (c. 74 AD – c. 130 AD) was a Roman historian who lived in the time of Trajan and Hadrian. He was born in Africa.
He compiled, chiefly from Livy, a brief sketch of the history of Rome from the foundation of the city to the closing of the temple of Janus by Augustus (25 BC). The work is written in a rhetorical style – a hymn to the greatness of Rome, the life of which is divided into the periods of infancy, youth and manhood.
