Présentation de l'éditeur
Treatise was naturally incomplete. It consisted of papers drawn up for the use of one of the Upper Forms at Rugby, and the small amount of treatment which the Latin Period, in its relation to our own language, has hitherto received, made the Hints necessarily of a tentative character. The favourable reception which the book has met with from literary critics and the adoption of it in several Public Schools have made the author spare no pains to render the second edition more satisfactory and valuable. The principle on which the Treatise is based is the dictum, To do one thing you must know how to do many things. The right employment of cases, the government of words and the rules of syntax, can of course be learned from books of exercises, but such works, though indispensable at a certain stage, are of little value for conveying an impression of Latin literature and style.
