Excerpt from The Latin in English, First Lessons in Latin: With Special Reference to the Etymology, of English Words of Latin Origin
There is no royal road to learning; and this book is by no means intended even as a short cut to a complete knowledge of Latin. But it is the belief of the writer that it is possible to get definite value from knowing some Latin, even if one is unable to know much Latin; and that it would be a saving of time and energy to have selected for one just the portion which would have the most immediate utility.
