First Lessons in Latin: A Series of Exercises Analytical and Synthetical, in Latin Syntax; Designed as an Introduction to Ross’ Latin Grammar, but … Grammar of the Language (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from First Lessons in Latin Boys are generally required to Spend several months in com mitting the Latin Grammar, before attempting to read or parse. By this inju’dicious course, the learner is wearied with the te dions exercise of committing innumerable rules, which the memory retains with difficulty, because no application of them is made, to call into action the other powers of the mind, or break the dull monotony of study. The following work contains all the leading principles of the Grammar, illustrated by a regular series of inductive exercises, calculated to impress them indelibly upon the memory of the learner. The lessons are so arranged, that he is continually re quired to exercise his judgment, as well as his memory and as he is made familiar with one subject before he begins another, his progress is rendered easy and pleasing.
