Book excerpt: Excerpt from Language and Character of the Roman People: Translated From the German of Oscar Weise With Additional Notes and References for English Readers The knowledge of any language must necessarily remain superficial, unless the student of the language in question has a clear conception of the various forms which make up its construction. The ordinary grammars give us little light on this point. School text-books regard such information as beside the mark, and, unfortunately, scientific works are content with a few scanty precepts. It is, however, to be regretted that our methods of teaching language should alone lag in the wake of other studies, and refuse to follow the spirit of the nineteenth century, probing and noting every fact and tracing them in their historical development. It passes comprehension why teachers cannot dispense with the routine methods of exercising their pupils' memory at the expense of their intelligence. They might surely choose some way of stimulating the thought and reflection of their pupils. This small treatise may serve, it is hoped, as a stepping-stone to this end.
