Présentation de l'éditeur

This little book is the outgrowth of thirteen years experience in the classroom, and it is hoped that herein is a justification, however slight, for its appearance among so many books of a like character. The chief aim of the book is not to overtax the reasoning power of young pupils, and therefore everything has been presented in the simplest way. Only the most important matters have been dwelt upon, while exceptions and peculiarities have been almost entirely excluded. Attention has been called carefully to points of likeness and unlikeness between Latin andE nglish, as well as to the characteristics of theL atin language itself. An attempt has also been made to clear the way for translation ;and with this in view, not only illustrative sentences and rules are given, but full explanations of every principle follow the illustrative sentences. There is much repetition, by which method, it is believed, constructions become more firmly imbedded in the pupils mind. Only the easier and more necessary principles of syntax are introduced in the early part of the book ;and throughout, syntax has been rigidly subordinated to the gradual development of the forms. The vocabulary comes mainly from Caesar, and consists of those words that occur most frequently ;many words are from Virl Romae and some few from Livy and Cicero, In theL atin-E nglish vocabulary, derivations and etymologies are given, in the hope that observant pupils may gain some useful knowledge, but it is not intended that they be dwelt upon in class.
