Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Beginning Latin
In the translation exercises, english-latin sentences have been unhesitatingly and freely introduced from the first. Here, as elsewhere, experience has been the guide, but a word of explanation may not be amiss. In the first place, the assumption that english-latin exercises are inherently more difficult than latin-english would seem to involve a fallacy. An english-latin exercise which is primarily an exercise on the practical use of forms, and which does not contain difficult and complicated syntax, presents to the pupil the same problems as a latin-english exercise - the problem of terminations. But it has, for the young pupil, a distinct advantage over the latin-english exercise - it is an exercise to be written and written work for the study hour secures the best concentration and the surest results.
Following the Lessons intended to be assigned for prep aration are supplementary Exercises for Class Drill. These involve the same principles and vocabulary as the Les sons which correspond to them in number. While it is not intended that their preparation should be required in advance, those members of a class Whose study time permits may well look them over, and test their preparation by means of the questions which are in many cases appended. Here the ratio of Latin to English exercises is much increased, in order that in his translation work the pupil may benefit by the teacher's instant correction of bad English and his suggestions regarding methods of attacking the Latin.
