Latin Lessons and Reader With Exercises for the Writing of Latin: Introductory to Andrews and Stoddard's Latin Grammar, and Also to Nepos or Caesar, and Krebs' Guide (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Latin Lessons and Reader With Exercises for the Writing of Latin: Introductory to Andrews and Stoddard's Latin Grammar, and Also to Nepos or Caesar, and Krebs' Guide

The work consists of two distinct parts. The first contains exercises on the forms or inflexions of nouns, adjectives, pro nouns and verbs, and on the general rules of Syntax. When a form or prmmple has been committed to memory, the learn er is exercised on this, \by translating from English to Latin and from Latin to English simple clauses or sentences involv ing the form or principle under examination, and by writing upon the black board or slate at each recitation, Latin for the English in the book, or as dictated to him at the time by the teacher. In this manner the learner cannot fail of becoming familiar with each form or principle as it occurs. He moves on without discouragement, though not without having his memory and ingenuity constantly taxed.

Part second consists of selections, except a'few pages, from the best classical authors, which will not be found too difficult for those who have gone over thoroughly the first part. On the margin of every page are numerous references to Andrews and Stoddard's Latin Grammar, which Serve the double purpose of rendering the learner familiar with. The Grammar and of explaining difficult idioms and constructions. In this part, the rules of Syntax are again illustrated by ex amples for each general rule, carefully selected from the best authors, and somewhat more difficult than those furnished for Part First.
