A Latin Reader: Intended as a Companion to the Author's Latin Grammar; With References, Suggestions, Notes and Vocabulary (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from A Latin Reader: Intended as a Companion to the Author's Latin Grammar; With References, Suggestions, Notes and VocabularyThe Latin Reader now offered to the public is intended as a companion to the author's Latin Grammar. It comprises Reading Lessons, Suggestions to the Learner, Notes, and a Vocabulary.The Reading Lessons are abundantly supplied with references to the Grammar, and are arranged in two parts.Part First presents a progressive series of exercises illustrative of grammatical forms, inflections, and rules. These exercises are intended to accompany the learner from the very outset in his progress through the Grammar, and thus to furnish him the constant luxury of using the knowledge which he is acquiring. They have been carefully selected from classical authors.Tart Second illustrates connected discourse, and comprises Fables, Anecdotes, and History. The Anecdotes have been selected from various classical sources; the other portions have been derived chiefly from the Lateinisches Elementarbuch of Professors Jacobs and Doring, though, in the Grecian History, Arnold's Historiae Antiquae Epitome, founded upon the work of Jacob and Doring, has furnished a few extracts. The Historical selections were, with a few exceptions, derived originally from the Latin historians Eutropius, Justin, and Cornelius Nepos.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
