Author Description

Excerpt from Bellum Gallicum (Books II, III IV) This edition has been prepared with a special view to the needs of University matriculants, Pass and Honor, and Junior Leaving candidates. The aim has been, not to produce atreatise on Latin Grammar or Prose, but to supply what material the teacher and the student will find useful in connection with the particular text prescribed. The elements of grammar and the first lessons in translation both unseen and prescribed, are supposed to have been taught at an earlier stage. In this edition it will be seen that, besides the text of Books II., III. And IV, with the necessary notes, etc., abundant provision is made for practice (i) in re - translation and (2) in sight-reading. This is accomplished by a series of running exercises, based on the several chapters read, word-lists (latin-english and english-latin) for memorization and drill, and some fifty short passages for sight translation, adapted from Book VII. Of the Gallic War. These passages are graded, in their own character and in the help given, to suit both pass and honor students.
