Synopsis
Excerpt from Advanced Latin Composition
This book is divided into three parts, each of which provides material for a one-hour course throughout the year. The exercises are based upon outlying parts of Caesar and Cicero, unfamiliar to students in the earlier part of their college course.
Parts I and II are designed specially for freshman work. They both cover practically the same ground, thus making it possible to use the book in successive years without employing the same exercise twice. In preparing the passages for translation into Latin two ends have been kept in view: first, to test the student's knowledge of forms and syntax at the places where data collected from the work of successive classes has shown the freshman student to be weak; and, second, to illustrate a few of the finer points of composition which cannot be adequately treated in the preparatory school. This latter feature renders the footnotes necessarily rather bulky. The exercises are arranged in a careful sequence, and should be used in the order in which they stand to secure the most satisfactory results.
