A Practical Introduction to Latin Prose Composition (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from A Practical Introduction to Latin Prose CompositionThe matter for translation as comprised in the various Exercises has been almost entirely rewritten. I have not, after full consideration, taken what would have been the easier course, and substituted single continuous passages for a number of separate and unconnected sentences. I found that for the special purpose of the present work, dealing as it does with such manifold and various forms of expression, the employment of these latter was indispensable, and I have by long experience convinced myself of their value in teaching or studying the various turns and forms of a language which differs in such innumerable points from our own as classical Latin.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
