Excerpt from Latin Prose Composition: Comprising Part I. Notes on Grammar, Style, and Idiom; Part II. English Passages for Translation Into Latin

The Object of this book is to stimulate interest in Latin Composition in the second of these senses. It may perhaps be said that, in including the section headed A Survey Of the Resources of Expression,' I am doing what I have deprecated above - supplying the learner with fixed phrases for such words as prejudice' or 'conceit' or 'philanthropy.' This may or may not prove to be a well-founded charge. What I have aimed at doing has been to supply mere hints for phrases, suggestions which could not easily be adopted exactly as they stand. 'one way of expressing that idea in Latin is something like this: you may find that some adaptation of it will suit the passage with which you are concerned.'
