Excerpt from Short Sentences for Practice in Writing Latin: Designed for Students in C�sar's Gallic War

The first edition of Short Sentences was printed a few years ago mainly for use in the Roxbury latin'school. Al though it was never published or advertised, it has neverthe less found its way into several other schools; and those teachers who have used it speak highly of its value to them.

The present edition, much larger'than the first, carries the work through the whole of the first book of the Gallic War, and has in addition nine pages of Notes. The ob ject of the work, I need hardly say, is to give the pupil a considerable amount of practice in turning English into Latin wz'tfi 1128 classic models direct/y �cy'ore bz'w, and recip rocally to aid him in the translation of the text of Caesar into good English. It is hoped that in both directions the notes will be found a valuable auxiliary. They are not grammati cal, strictly speaking, except in a few instances. They may rather be called idiomatical. I believe that all teachers will acknowledge the value of this kind of help to the student of any foreign language.
