Book excerpt: Excerpt from Latin Lessons Designed to Prepare for the Intelligent Reading of Classical Latin Prose In preparing these Lessons, we have had in mind primarily the new edition of Andrews and Stoddard's Latin Grammar; but full references have also been made to the grammars of Allen and Greenough, of Gildersleeve, and of Harkness. Instead, however, of basing the lessons upon references to a grammar, as is often done, we have preferred to incorporate in the lessons themselves all that has seemed absolutely essential to the pupil's progress. We have then attached to the individual lessons such grammatical references as will be useful to those who desire fuller information, or who feel moved to branch out now and then and study a subject a little for themselves, as even young boys and girls of intelligence often do, when directed to a source of information without being ordered to make use of it. The subjects of the various lessons are treated in such a way as to encourage the learner to observe the facts of the language for himself and to gather principles from them. But there are two especial dangers in applying the inductive method to a language like Latin; and these we have tried to avoid.
