Primary Latin Book Containing Introductory Lessons And Exercises In Latin Prose Composition Based On Caesars Commentaries On The Gallic War With A PDF Download

Excerpt from Primary Latin Book: Containing Introductory Lessons and Exercises in Latin Prose Composition, Based on Cæsar’s Commentaries on the Gallic War; With a Complete Synopsis of Accidence and Syntax This Book, it is hoped, will satisfy in a measure the widespread demand in Ontario for a more suitable text-book in Latin than those which have hitherto been used in our schools, and will furnish the pupil with a better means of acquiring early a reading power in that language, as a necessary foundation for all subsequent scholarship. In any instance where some departure has been made from the usual methods, the one motive has been to make the work a more practical instrument of training in the hands of the teacher. The scope of the book is more extended than is usual in Latin text-books, but there are many advantages in having a work which shall contain all that will be required in the ordinary High School course, with the exception of the authors prescribed from year to year. The order of the lessons has been carefully considered, and the exercises have been so graded that a continuous progress is possible with no sudden increase of difficulty at any one part. Scarcely any words or phrases are employed which are not found in Cæsar, so that the vocabulary the pupil acquires in these lessons is of the same nature as that which he meets in the prose author he reads first in his course.
