Excerpt from First Year Latin, Preparatory to Caesar
Most teachers will measure the value of a beginning book by the thoroughness with which it prepares for the work to be done in the second year. The work of second-year Latin in this country centres, as a rule, around the study of Caesar's Commentaries and the Latin Grammar. The present volume is intended to meet both these ends in the most successful way.
In order to prepare the pupil for the intelligent and effective study of Caesar, the vocabulary has been chosen from a limited number (about 750) of the commonest words employed by Caesar in the Gallic War. The syntax, too, has been restricted, except in the rarest instances, to that employed by Caesar. At the earliest possible point consistent with honest work, simple passages of continuous prose have been introduced, giving in outline the chief features of Caesar's campaigns against the Helvetii and Ariovistus. At the close of the Lessons, Book II of the Gallic War is given with annotation.
To prepare for the systematic study of the Latin Grammar, - the second main line of endeavor in the Latin Work of the second year, - the grouping of the material throughout the book has been made to follow as nearly as possible the arrangement of all our Latin grammars.
