LONDON: THE following Exercises consist of passages which the Author has been in the habit of setting to his pupils for some years past, accompanied by references to the Rev. T. K. Arnold's Introduction to Latin Prose; a work on the merits of which it is almost superfluous to speak here, so generally are they felt and acknowledged by all who are engaged in Classical Tuition. Still it has always appeared to the Author, as it has to many of his friends, that the works of Mr. Arnold are rendered far too complicated for the majority of students, by the multiplicity of references in every variety of type and form which crowd their pages; and, after much experience, he ventures an opinion that, while the frequent use of that author's two books on Latin Prose Composition has a tendency to produce great accuracy of scholarship, so far as individual phrases are concerned, they seem to be deficient in one respect, namely, in teaching young men to connect and combine their sentences together in the spirit and the style of Cicero or Sallust. To this point, therefore, the Author of this little work has been led to pay particular attention; and he cannot but entertain a modest hope that it may be found, upon further experience, not wholly useless to those who wish to form a correct and elegant style of Latin Prose Composition. The Table of Idioms' prefixed to this volume is based upon, and to a great extent borrowed from, the "Tabular Differences of Idioms," subjoined to Mr. T. K. Arnold's Introduction to Latin Prose. 30, Chepstow Place, Bayswater, E. W. |
