Book Description

Excerpt from Translations of English Poetry Into Latin Verse: Designed as Part of a New Method of Instructing in Latin If any teacher use these pieces as 1 design them, he will make the English an exercise of Eloention then it will be gradually impressed on the memory with little effort. Yet learning by heart ought to be cultivated, and has in my opinion been unwisely given up or lessened since I was a schoolboy. The knowledge of the English pieces will aid to econo mise the use of the dictionary. And will give a true idea of the sense of the Latin. If the pupil be allowed to take improper advantage, it will be entirely the teacher's fault, who ought to catechise him on the exact meaning of the Latin words, as well as on the structure.
