A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Ths dim of this little manual is simply to illttfittate sach constructions as are most firequentlf met with in the Commentaries of Caesar the Orations of Cicero, and similar prose. It does not pretend to teach how to turn all kinds of English into Latin; this could not be expected of so elementary a treatise, and, perhaps, our present systems and methods of prepcatory instruction do not demand it: but it designs to give the student such an introduction to the more important principles of Latin syntax, such an acquaintance with the more usual idioms of the language, as shall lead him towards a fuller understanding and appreciation of the great classic prose-writers of ancient Eome. With this end in view, most of the Examples and Vocabularies have been selected from the works mentioned above, and the plan is for the first twenty Lessons to accompany the reading of the Commentaries, and the second twenty the reading of the Orations; though it is hoped that they will not be found out of place in those preparatory schools where other prose is read. The Exercises are so constructed that, in translation, the style of Caesar and Cicero may be imitated. The treatment of the Moods and Tenses is introduced before that of the Cases, in the belief that the learner should have as extended practice as pos sible in those difficult subjects.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Leopold is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. This means that we have checked every single page in every title, making it highly unlikely that any material imperfections – such as poor picture quality, blurred or missing text - remain. When our staff observed such imperfections in the original work, these have either been repaired, or the title has been excluded from the Leopold Classic Library catalogue. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, within the book we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with a book that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work.
