Excerpt from In Latinum: Pensa in Latinum Sermonem Vertenda; For Academics and High Schools
There are two reasons for the preparation of this book: first, because I believe that the best way to study Latin Composition is in connection with the authors read; and, second, because of the fact that the require ments for admission to the majority of our colleges now include the writ ing of connected sentences from the works read in preparation.
It has long been evident to me that this branch of study was unwisely divorced from its legitimate companion branch, the reading of Latin au thors; and this manual is the result of an attempt to bring together what should never have been kept separate. I am aware that the attempt has. Been made before with more or less of success; but no work that I had examined approached my ideal until the appearance about a year ago of the book for beginners, Bellum Helvetium. The practical character of the plan of that work has been proved by the tests of the class-room; and I have endeavored in the following pages to carry the method still further, hoping that by its use the student will become more familiar with Latin constructions, and will better understand and appreciate the works read. As Caesar is usually the first author read in Academies and Preparatory Schools, and, as the first four Books only are read in most institutions, the exercises of this work are based upon those Books.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book, a comprehensive account of the Gallic Wars, chronicles the military campaigns of Julius Caesar against the Gallic tribes from 58 to 50 BC and provides insights into the political and social landscape of the time. The author draws upon Caesar's own commentaries, "De Bello Gallico," offering a detailed narrative of Caesar's strategies, battles, and conquests. Beyond the historical account, the book explores the broader context of Roman expansionism and its impact on the Celtic world. It examines the complex political alliances and rivalries among the Gallic tribes, the role of religion and culture in their societies, and the strategies employed by Caesar to divide and conquer. Through its analysis of Caesar's tactics and the motivations of both the Romans and the Gauls, the book sheds light on the nature of warfare and the dynamics of conquest in the ancient world. It also highlights the enduring legacy of Caesar's campaigns, which shaped the political geography of Europe and laid the foundation for the Roman Empire's expansion into Gaul.
