Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Latin Prose Composition, Vol. 1: For College Use The words employed are, for the most part, taken directly from the corresponding chapters Of the author; all others are either simple and familiar ones or are given in the notes. The constructions required by the exercises, however, are not limited to such as may be found in the corresponding passage of text. All the essential principles of Latin syntax - even the less common ones - are illustrated, and examples of any one of them may be found indifferently any where. The phraseology of the Latin original has been adhered to only so closely as to make possible the writing of the exercises without a dictionary. They can rarely be called a translation of the Latin and they can by no means be Oopied from the Latin pages. The oral exer cises must, in order to fulfill their end, he more nearly like the original. In the belief that exactness in the use not only of Latin but also of English words is furthered by the study of synonyms, and in the hope of giving a greater impulse to this feature of our Latin instruction, a few of the more important distinctions have been added in the appendix. To many of my friends I desire to express my hearty thanks for their generous assistance in the preparation of this book: to Professors Francis W. Kelsey, John C. Rolfe and Joseph H. Drake, of the University of Michi gan, who have kindly read and corrected my manuscript; to Edwin Francis Gay, b.a., of Ann Arbor, to W. E.
