Latin Prose Composition for College Use

Originally published in 1891. PREFACE: It is coming to be universally acknowledged among teachers both of higher and lower grades that the two parts of our Latin instruction - translating from Latin and into Latin - must become more united; and for this union the classical author in hand must furnish the basis. This method affords the student a definite model of style and expression; it not only gives the desired grammatical drill but also impresses the various words and phrases of his daily reading forcibly upon the learner's mind, and helps him to acquire a feeling for the proper order of words and arrangement of clauses... Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900's and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
