Excerpt from Writing Latin, Vol. 2
This revision of Writing Latin - Book Two contains the following changes from the first edition:
1. The Exercises are entirely new, and based on Professor Lodge's Vocabulary of High School Latin.
2. The Review of Case Constructions, covering eight Lessons, has been placed at the beginning instead of at the end.
3. An attempt has been made to have the vocabulary used in the Exercises on each construction include as many as possible of the words normally employed in that construction, an idea suggested by Professor E. P. Morris' work On Principles and Method in Latin Syntax.
4. In order not to interrupt the sustained attack on syntax, and to allow more time at the end of the course for reviews and final assimilation of principles, the Exercises in Connected Prose have, with the exception of brief paragraphs at the end of Lessons IX-XXVIII, been placed at the end of the book.
5. As in the case of Book One, the Special Vocabularies are now arranged by parts of speech, to allow of greater facility in reviewing.
6. Because of the tendency of beginners in Latin to associate one English word with one Latin word, the translation of the original Latin of the Exercises has been very free, the literal rendering being suggested in parentheses wherever this seemed necessary. It is hoped that by this means teachers will be aided in giving their classes an idea of what advanced prose composition really implies - an exact rendering of the thought of the original as distinguished from the translation of separate words.
