Synopsis
Excerpt from The Foundations of Latin: Book for Beginners
As justification for the prevalent custom of dismembering the declensions and conjugations in our beginner's books, it is doubtless urged that the acquisition of the forms is difficult, and that the plan of gradual presentation is intended to facili tate the process of learning them. But is it not a fallacy to imagine that any such hesitating, timid policy is likely to be successful in guiding the pupil to a mastery of his inflections Is not the plan of resolute, systematic, sustained attack upon the declensions and conjugations the more logical, and has any other ever yielded as good results in actual experience? Certainly to me Latin pupils to-day seem to know their forms less accurately than did the pupils of twenty years ago, and this impression I find entertained by teachers of prominence in our best institutions.

The Foundations of Latin: Book for Beginners (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book revolutionizes our understanding of ancient Roman life as it relates to the role of sound, volume, and pitch in Roman society. The author has assembled an impressive collection of primary sources ranging from literature, inscriptions, and archaeological evidence to reveal a strikingly different world of sound than our own. Most striking is the raucous and chaotic nature of Roman life, with cacophonous street noise, the clamor of metalworking, and the shouts of the forum. The book also discusses the importance of silence, revealing how it was used as a tool of social control, and the ways in which sound was used to shape religious rituals, political events, and warfare. This book is a major contribution to our understanding of the daily life of the Romans. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781330431153_0
