An Elementary Guide To Writing In Latin by J. H. Allen and J. B. Greenough is a college preparatory manual from 1875 that teaches Latin composition by translating English into Latin rather than relying on detached sentence drills. The book aims to represent the genius and spirit of Latin through real English sentences rendered into Latin and covers Part I: Constructions. It presents a structured sequence of lessons on word order, agreement, pronouns, adjectives, verbs, cases, prepositions, and verb forms including the subjunctive and infinitive. Emphasizing continuous narrative passages, it uses carefully selected extracts from Roman authors and provides numerous exercises illustrating the translation of English into Latin, along with notes and vocabulary. The preface explains that the approach is to cultivate idiomatic Latin usage and proficiency in composition, not just mechanical grammars. This work is intended for the final year of pre-college study or first-year college work and forms the initial section of a larger Latin Composition series edited by Allen and Greenough.
