Excerpt from Latin Prose Composition, Adapted for the Leaving Certificate and University Preliminary Examinations, Vol. 1
This book has been entirely rewritten. I have been so often asked by former pupils, schoolmasters, and others, to make it complete in itself for teaching purposes, by adding a Syntax, together with the various notes and hints with which I have been accustomed to supplement my own use of it, that I at last consented; though I confess, had I foreseen how much time and labour would be involved in a work apparently so elementary, I might have hesitated to undertake it.
My object in this edition has been to construct a progressive manual for teaching Latin Prose Composition, not only to the advanced student, but also to beginners who know nothing of Latin but the Accidence. I believe in teaching Latin Prose well from the very beginning; in the very simplest sentences, regard for order, for idiom, for Latin modes of thought and expression, can be taught; and to acquire these is to acquire the art of writing good Latin Prose.
The present Volume takes the student from the beginning of the Syntax to the writing of simple Continuous Prose. Part I gives the Syntax of the Simple Sentence, and of the Cases; Part II that of the Compound Sentence. The order of the whole is arranged with a view to consecutive teaching.
