Publisher's Synopsis
The Ciceronian, also known as The Prussian Method of Teaching the Elements of the Latin Language, is a book written by Barnas Sears in 1844. The book provides a comprehensive guide to teaching Latin using the Prussian method, which emphasizes the importance of grammar, syntax, and vocabulary in language learning. Sears begins by discussing the shortcomings of traditional Latin instruction and how the Prussian method can address these issues. He then provides a detailed explanation of the method, including its principles, techniques, and exercises. The book is divided into three parts: the first covers the basics of Latin grammar and syntax, the second focuses on vocabulary and composition, and the third provides a series of reading exercises to reinforce the concepts learned in the previous sections. Throughout the book, Sears emphasizes the importance of active learning and student engagement. He provides numerous examples and exercises to help students apply the concepts they are learning and develop their skills in reading, writing, and speaking Latin. The Ciceronian is a valuable resource for anyone interested in teaching or learning Latin, particularly those looking for a more structured and systematic approach to language instruction.Adapted To The Use Of American Schools.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
