Excerpt from First Latin Lessons, Vol. 1: Containing the Most Important Parts of the Grammar of the Latin Language, Together With Appropriate Exercises in the Translating and Writing of Latin, for the Use of Beginners

The object of the present work is to make the young student practically acquainted, at each step of his progress, with those portions of the grammar which he may from time to time commit to memory, and which relate principally to the declension of nouns and conjugation of verbs. The advantages which this system has over the old method of teaching the Latin gram mar are so obvious as hardly to require any particular mention. By the old plan the student was required to plod through his grammar several times before he was allowed to enter on the process of translation, and, as a natural consequence, he acquired a disrelish for the language on its very threshold, while many things were continually escaping from his memory which might have been firmly fixed there had something like the present plan been adopted.

The work here offered to the public purposes to remedy this evil. As soon as the beginner has mastered some principle relative to the inflections of the language, his attention is directed to exercises in translating and writing Latin, which call for a practical application of the knowledge he may have thus far acquired; and in this way he is led on by easy stages, until he is made thoroughly acquainted with all the important rules that regulate the inflections of the Latin tongue.
