Excerpt from A Latin Reader: Easy Selections for Beginners
The way of the beginner in Latin is only too often confined to those subjects where the faculties of the mind, aside from memory, find little chance for devel opment. For a year pupils spend long hours in end less drill on the rules of grammar, on declensions and conjugations, and on the perplexities of syntax. It is not strange, therefore, that numerous attempts have been made to assist the beginner to an opportunity now and then for refreshing his mind, and at the same time for applying his new acquirements.
Those have succeeded best, I believe, who have kept most closely to the things of antiquity, described °in the language of ancient Rome. Pupils recognize the modern tone of present-day topics discussed in English-like Latin, and they are not satisfied, nor are they much helped.
The Fables in this Reader are the old ones, simpli fied for beginners. The Short Stories, gathered here and there, have also been freed from difficulties. The Tales of Early Rome are from Livy and have been adapted to pupils who have not yet gone far along the course. And, finally, although the selec tion from Ovid has been turned into prose and shorn of its grammatical difficulties, it is believed that the charm of the story itself has not suffered.
