Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Twentieth Century Latin-Book: For Regents' Schools, High Schools and Academies In submitting The Twentieth Century latin-book to the attention of the public, the aim of the authors has been to edit a work of practical utility, representative of the latest and most approved methods of teaching the first year of Latin. This text book is the outcome of fifteen years of practical experience in teaching Latin. During these fifteen years the authors have prepared nearly three thousand students for the entrance examinations in Latin held by the various Universities - 'columbia, Harvard, Yale, Princeton, New York University, etc., - and for the examinations in Latin held under the auspices of the Regents of the University Of the State of New York. The time intervening between the completion of a course in English Grammar and the beginning of a course in Latin has made it desirable to incorporate in the book a brief summary of the essentials Of English Grammar necessary to the study Of the first year of Latin. This feature of the book will prove to be of value to the student. As a beginner's progress is measured by, the rapidity with which he acquires a sufficiently large vocabulary, and also by the facility with which he is able to analyze sentence-con struction, a large and varied vocabulary has been used through out the book, together with sentences calling for a generous use Of these vocabularies. The vocabularies, as well as the sentences based thereon, have been made to conform as closely as possible to the text of Caesar. For the convenience of the teacher and for the further improve ment Of the-student, many review exercises both on vocabulary and sentence-construction have been inserted.
