Excerpt from Latin Prose Composition: With Exercises on Caesar, Livy and Cicero
This book contains two parts. Part I. consists of a concise and simple statement of the main principles of Latin syntax, with illustrations and exercises. The rules of Syntax are not intended to be learned by heart; they are to be studied carefully in connection with the illustrations, many of which should be committed to memory. The exercises have been made longer than is customary, in order to afford a wider scope for selection. A knowledge, on the part of the pupil, of the Latin declensions and conjugations is presupposed. The authorities followed in the treatment of Latin Syntax are mainly Madvig, Roby, Kennedy, Bradley, and Hime. A few sections have been added on Latin Style, for which we are mainly indebted to the works of Bradley, Potts, Postgate, Nixon, Klotz, and Nagelsbach.
Part II. consists of exercises in continuous English based on Caesar (e Bell. Gall., B. I.-VI.), on Livy (B. XXI. and XXII.), and on some of the common orations of Cicero. These exercises arc intended to be written, but it is recommended that they be translated orally as well. In no case should an exercise be attempted until after a thorough study of the Latin on which the exercise is based. The exercises do not, of course, exhaust the material of the Latin text, and teachers will find it necessary to give their classes additional exercises of a character similar to those given here, and adapted to the grade of the pupil. Passages taken from English authors and involving a knowledge of vocabulary similar to that of the exercises, may also be given with advantage to advanced pupils.
