This book has grown out of the experimental work in Latin pedagogy which the author has carried on for several years at theS tate University of Iowa with the cooperation of the Iowa City public schools. It is offered as a solution of the universally recognized difficulty in passing from the beginners book to Caesar. The method followed is to give the particular preparation for a given chapter before the pupil attempts to read it. This makes it possible for the pupil to begin his reading of Caesar immediately after finishing the elementary book. The difficulties which the beginner inC aesar meets have been carefully studied and provided for with a view to his accumulating knowledge for future work as well as doing what is immediately before him. It is assumed that the pupil knows a vocabulary of about three hundred common words, which are found in most beginners books. Additional words, as they occur, are given in the special vocabularies, and all may be found in the general vocabulary at the end of the book. Idiomatic expressions, which cause the pupil to blunder with the thought or with theE nglish translation, have been treated with the special vocabularies, and it is hoped that this feature of the book will commend itself strongly to teachers. Hale and Buck sL atinG rammar has been taken as authority for the quantities of vowels.

About the Publisher

Forgotten Books' Classic Reprint Series utilizes the latest technology to regenerate facsimiles of historically important writings. Careful attention has been made to accurately preserve the original format of each page whilst digitally enhancing the aged text.
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
