A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Tue present volume contains the First Part of Mr. Arnold sP ractical Introduction to Latin Prose Compositicn ;the introductory portion of theS econd Part (as published by the A uthor) on theO rder of Words in Latin; and nearly all theL onger Latin Exercises, Part I., a work which was published separately, but intended to follow immediately in order the use of the First Part of the Prose Composition. This arrangement was adopted for the purpose of embracing as much valuable matter as possible within the compass of a reasonably sized volume. The First Part is complete in itself, and, so far as it goes, admirably fulfils the design of the author; yet, as theE xercises consist of single, short, and unconnected sentences, it was deemed advisable to introduce other and longer Exercises, in which the student should be taught practically how to arrange his ideas in passages of considerable length, and in which are involved most of the minutiae and intricacies of theL atin idiom. For this purpose Part II. of the present volume is most excellently adapted. The work on theL atin Particles, which was published by the author as theS econd Part of the Practical Introduction to Latin Prose Composition, is a production of much value and importance, and is devoted to a lengthened and full elucidation of the difficulties which stand in the way of one who would become a thorough and accomplished Latinist. It is intended should the classical public demand it to issue this work at an early date. The principal advantages which the present volume offers ovei works of a similar kind are these.

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.
