Introduction to Latin Composition e-bog

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. It is believed that these exercises can be taken up by any scholar who has gone thoroughly through any of the usual courses of Latin Lessons. Still, except in the case of mature or unusually capable pupils, I should advise that some time should first be devoted to mere translation. The familiarity with vocabulary and construc tions thus acquired will be the best preparation for writing. I should let a class go through portions of Casar, and perhaps of other authors, as rapidly as is consistent with accuracy, and with very little parsing. Then I should take up parsing again, and intro duce the writing of exercises. However, all such rules must vary with different classes and teachers.
