Book excerpt: Excerpt from Latin Prose Composition: For Middle and Upper Forms The arrangement of the chapters in this book is intended to adapt them for use in the Middle and Upper Forms of a Public School. The exercises are designed to supply a thorough drill in the constructions explained, and are arranged under three headings, A, B, C. Those marked A are quite simple sentences, suitable for boys in Under School, while those marked B are harder, are intended for pupils who have already made some progress, and frequently assume acquaintance with constructions and idioms which arc explained in later chapters. The exercises marked C are pieces of simple continuous prose. The chapters and the exercises are both intended to be progressive, the more difficult matters being left till the later part of the book; and it is hoped that by allotting a definite section to each Form the book may meet the requirements of a succession of Forms through Middle and Upper School. Some apology may seem due for beginning the book with a chapter on 'The Date in Latin' It is of course open to any teacher to postpone this information to a later period, or to omit it altogether; but I have found that even the youngest boys in the lower Forms will take interest in it, and take pride in correctly heading their exercises with the date in Latin. No special vocabularies have been written for the several exercises, but it is hoped that the General Vocabulary will be found sufficient for most of a boy's requirements. This vocabulary is not, however, intended to do more than indicate the most suitable word or words to use; it neither tells, nor professes to tell, anything of their inflections or usage.
