Book excerpt: Excerpt from Easy English Pieces for Translation Into Latin Prose, Vol. 1: Adopted for the Use of Middle Forms in Schools, With Short Introductory Rules Perhaps some apology may seem to be necessary for adding another to the already numerous collections of pieces for Latin Prose. Our excuse must be that we have not as yet been able to meet with a book exactly answering the requirements of Middle Forms in Schools, such as the Fourth Form and Shells at Marlborough. The fault, of most of the existing books appears to be that they are too hard, that they expect boys at that stage to be able both to turn English into Latin idiom, and at the same time to observe the ordinary rules of Latin Composition. On the principle that it is impossible to do two things at once, the result frequently is that if the boy is able to supply a more or less equivalent Latin expression, he indemnifies himself by making a verb govern the nominative case. Having therefore been driven to compose and adapt pieces for our own Forms, we think that our experience thus acquired may be useful to others in the like circumstances.
