Synopsis

The Advanced Manual of Latin Prose Composition is a comprehensive guide to writing in Latin, written by Bingham Dixon Turner and first published in 1893. The book is designed for students who have already studied Latin grammar and vocabulary and are looking to improve their writing skills. The manual begins with an overview of the principles of Latin composition, including syntax, style, and vocabulary. It then proceeds to provide a series of exercises and examples, each focusing on a particular aspect of composition. These exercises range from simple sentence construction to complex narrative passages and cover a wide variety of topics, including history, mythology, and literature. Throughout the book, Turner emphasizes the importance of clarity, precision, and elegance in Latin writing. He provides numerous examples of well-written Latin prose and offers detailed explanations of the grammar and syntax used in each example. The book also includes a comprehensive glossary of Latin terms and a list of common idioms and phrases. Overall, the Advanced Manual of Latin Prose Composition is an essential resource for any student of Latin who wishes to improve their writing skills. It is a comprehensive and well-organized guide that provides both practical exercises and theoretical explanations of Latin composition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Manual of Latin Prose Composition requires to be prefaced with no apology for its subject. This part, at any rate, of a classical education still holds its ground. For the publication of this work in particular, an excuse is sought in its distinctive character. The editor believes that there is yet room for a book containing, in conjunction with the principal rules of the Compound Sentence and a summary of the characteristics of Latin style, a larger number than is usual in such compilations of extracts for translation. This book is intended for boys in the upper portion of the fifth and the sixth forms in a classical school; and for these an outline of the Syntax of the Moods arranged for handy reference is an obvious convenience. Less attention, indeed, has been paid to the teaching of style in English manuals than is the case in Germany, where one out of several books on the subject, Berger s Zateinische Stilistikfur dbere Gymnasialklassen, has reached an eighth edition; but it is hoped that the Notes on Style embodied in the present book will prove of service. It is not expected that they will at once enable the beginner to acquire a style.

Présentation de l'éditeur

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.
