Excerpt from Book of Latin Prose Composition: For the Use of Colleges and Advanced, Classes in Schools This book aims to provide first for systematic work in syntax to reenforce and supplement that of the usual preparatory course. For convenience, the constructions selected for special attention are illustrated in short notes at the beginning of each chapter. The exercises in point of vocabulary are intended to be closely connected with the student's reading, and to this end have in view words which occur in texts (such as Cicero's Cato Maior, the Andria, and the Phormio of Terence) which are usually read early in the college course. Most of the required words have, however, already been met with in the preparatory authors. In fact a comparison shows that more than ninety per cent of the Vocabulary of this hook is also found in Lodge's Vocabulary of High School Latin. In subject-matter the exercises depart somewhat widely from the conventional type; they are not based on a text, but seek to embody facts and ideas more or less familiar in everyday experience.
