STEREOTYPED AT THE BOSTON TYPE AND STEREOTYPE FOUNDRY. PREFACE. THE following Exercises form the concluding volume of a series of elementary Latin works, the basis of which is the Latin Grammar of Andrews and Stoddard. In addition to the Grammar and Exercises, the series includes, under the title of "First Lessons in Latin," an abridgment of the Grammar, with short reading lessons and corresponding exercises in syntax; and also an edition of “Jacobs and Döring's Latin Reader," with copious references to the larger Grammar. The volume now offered to the public consists of exercises designed to illustrate the principles of orthoëpy, etymology, syntax, and prosody, as exhibited in the same Grammar, and to render their application easy and familiar to the student. The exercises in syntax are divided into two parts. In the first, which contains only short sentences, intended to illustrate the more important principles of syntax, the rules are arranged in such a manner, as to prevent, in a great degree, the introduction of idioms not previously illustrated. In the second part, the order of the rules in the Grammar has been preserved, and the number of examples has been proportioned, in some degree, to the importance or difficulty of the rule. Subjoined to these are other examples, illustrative of the more important remarks and exceptions under each rule. To the examples of English and Latin sentences, arranged in corresponding columns, are added others, consisting of English sentences only, with notes designed to aid the student in his choice of words and phrases, and to lead him to the right construction. In the syntactic part of the work, Dr. Kenrick's Exercises, adapted to his translation of Zumpt's Grammar, have furnished many of the most valuable materials; and whatever was wanting in that work to complete the plan of these exercises has been supplied from other sources. |
