An Introduction to Latin Prose Composition: With a Complete Course of Exercises, Illustrative of All the Important, Principles of Latin Syntax (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from An Introduction to Latin Prose Composition: With a Complete Course of Exercises, Illustrative of All the Important, Principles of Latin SyntaxThe present work forms the second part of the Latin Lessons, and is intended to elucidate practically all the important principles and rules of the Latin Syntax. The plan pursued is the same with that which was followed in preparing the first part, and the utility of which has been so fully proved by the favourable reception extended to that volume. A rule is laid down and principles are stated, and then exercises are given illustrative of the same; so that the two parts, taken together, will form a complete Grammar of the Latin language, accompanied by what no other grammar of that tongue at present has, a full course of continuous exercises.The principles and rules of Latin Syntax, as laid down in the present volume, have been derived from the grammars of Zumpt, Weissenborn, Reissig, Billroth, and from the Gymnasium of Dr. Crombie. The exercises are taken principally from Kenrick, and a few from Ellis and Hottenrott. The miscellaneous exercises at the end of the volume are from Crombie exclusively. No vocabulary has been appended for these last, since the student will obtain the requisite aid from any English-Latin Dictionary.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
