Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Study of the Impersonal, Passive of the Ventum Est Type This remark has led to this study, the aim of which has been to investigate the use of the impersonal passive of the type ven tum est, and to discover whether or not impersonals of this class have a definite agent or doer of the action logically implied in the context. The material for this thesis has been gathered from those au thors of the republican period of whom we have works or por tions of works preserved substantially entire: Plautus, Terence, Cato, Varro, Caesar and the other works found in the Corpus Caesarianum, Lucretius, Catullus, Sallust and Nepos.
