Excerpt from First Lessons in Latin: Adapted to the Latin Grammars of Allen and Greenough, Andrews and Stoddard, Bartholomew, Bullions and Morris, Chase and Stuart, Gildersleeve, and Harkness, and Prepared as an Introduction to Caesar's Commentaries on the Gallic War
These Lessons are intended as a practical drill-book for the beginner in Latin. They aim to make him familiar with the ordinary Latin inflections and the simpler principles of Latin syntax; to teach him as many words and expressions from Caesar's commentaries as he can learn with profit, and thus prepare him for the successful study of that work.
References are made to seven of our best Latin grammars, with any one of which the book may be used. In the part devoted to inflection, the learner's attention is directed, as far as thought practicable, to the elements of words declined and conjugated, to stems, endings, signs, and connecting vowels. The root and formation of stems are not referred to; these subjects belong more properly to a later stage of the study. In syntax, the principal rules only are intro duced, and these are illustrated by numerous examples. Of the latter, translations are given which the learner may imi tate in rendering the parallel exercises that follow; these exercises are taken chiefly from the Commentaries and ao companied by explanatory notes. English exercises to be turned into Latin are also added; these are so formed that the Latin sentences immediately preceding furnish models for their construction.
A few pages of fables and selections from early Roman history, together with the necessary annotations, follow the lessons. Complete vocabularies are added; in the Latin English part, such derivations of Latin words as can be most readily understood are given, and also some English derivatives. Of these others will suggest themselves. With neither, however, should the mind of the beginner be much burdened. Their main use at this time is to aid him in fixing the meanings of words. The chief work of the first year in Latin is to master the inflections and build up a vocabulary.
