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.

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.
