Présentation de l'éditeur

Latin composition in the secondary schools has been taught from two kinds of books, the one based on the text read, the other developing grammar by a systematic treatment. The advantages and defects of both plans are recognized; the present work attempts to combine the two methods in such a way as to preserve the advantages and avoid the defects of each. In its preparation pains have been taken to emphasize those constructions which by reason of their frequent recurrence are of most importance. This relative importance has been determined by actual tabulation of all constructions in Books I-IV of Caesar s Gallic War, and has served as the basis for fixing the order of presentation in the first part of the book. In many of the current Latin Compositions there is a surprising waste of time on constructions which are seldom met in the secondary school. For instance, to devote a whole lesson to contrary-to-fact conditions in indirect discourse, or to ask the student to write in one exercise more relative clauses of restriction or proviso than he will ever read before going to college, is to betray a lack of a proper sense of perspective.
