Inhaltsangabe

This book presents a series of exercises designed to enhance the study of Latin grammar. The author adapts these exercises to his own translation of a widely used Latin grammar text, aiming to provide a comprehensive guide to Latin composition for students.

Excerpt from Exercises on Latin Syntax, Adapted to Zumpt's Grammar: To Which Are Added Extracts From the Writings of Muretus

I have not, however, seen either of them, and the passages which are here given have been, with few exceptions, selected by myself from the original authors. Cicero has, of course, furnished the largest part; the authors of the silver age, with the exception of Curtius, have been sparingly used.
