Book excerpt: Excerpt from Introduction to Latin Composition: With Introductory; Revised and Enlarged With Introductory Exercises on Elementary Constructions After the present revised edition of this book was announced last summer, and when a part of it was already in type, it was decided to prefix to the original Lessons an introductory portion, to include the more elementary constructions of Latin syntax. This portion (Part L), with the revision of the entire book consequent upon the change of plan, has been executed by my brother, Rev. J. H. Allen, of Cambridge, Mass., with the valuable co-operation of Mr. John Tetlow, Master of the Girl's Latin School in Boston; aided by the skilful and acute criticism of Prof. Peck of Cornell University. Especial pains have been taken to facilitate the work of the earlier Lessons by a copious use of Oral Exercises (interlined); and very full references have been given throughout to the three Latin Grammars most in use. The experiment has also been tried of marking the long vowels in the Latin words employed, including those known to be long by nature, and those understood to be lengthened in practice before the combinations nf ns, and gn. Some changes of arrangement in Part IL, with the condensation or transposition of several topics, have resulted from the change of plan above-mentioned; but these will not, in general, prevent the use of the two editions together where desired. Considerable additions have been made to the Vocabulary, which includes a few scores of familiar words not employed in the exercises, in order to facilitate such additional practice as teachers may find advisable.
