Book Description

Excerpt from A Method of Instruction in Latin: Being a Companion and Guide in the Study of Latin Grammar This book has been prepared under the conviction that too much time is generally spent upon the study of Latin Grammar. It is intended to be learned by a good class under good instruction where this is made the chief study - ih three months, or, if not so much time daily can be afforded, in six; and, if well learned, it will prepare the student for any college entrance-examination in this subject. A familiar and accurate knowledge of forms is first of all necessary, and is here fully provided for, by noting in detail and progressively the essential parts of the etymology to be learned. To learn the grammar in bulk, as is still sometimes attempted, we consider one of the most unhappy departures from the true method of a classical education. Some special features of this 'book may require to be pointed out. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
