Author Description

Excerpt from Preparatory Latin Composition This book has grown out of the author's own experience, and has been prepared in accordance with the most advanced methods Of teaching Latin composition. The exercises are designed and graded to accompany the daily work Of translation, and contain ample material for the fullest preparatory course. The book contains connected passages based on each chapter of the first four books of Caesar and on six orations of Cicero; there are also supple mentary exercises for sight tests. The great aim in Latin composition is so to fix in the mind of the pupil the idioms, constructions, and style of the Latin that he can translate more rapidly, correctly, and intelligently. Therefore the exercises to be written in Latin should contain the idioms, constructions, and style of the Latin which the pupil is reading at the time. But it is to be further remembered that all knowledge comes from Observation and comparison. And all exercises for practice in schools should be so prepared as to require Observation and comparison on.the part of pupils.
