Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Writing of Narrative Latin
The only excuse that can be offered for another textbook on the subject of writing Latin is a presentation of the subject from a point of view differing somewhat from that generally adopted. In the present work the author aims to present the subject from the standpoint of English idiom, using material derived mainly from the first book of Caesar's Gallic War.
In using this book the pupil will have the principles of Latin syntax, applied to English forms of speech, before his eyes as he writes, without the necessity either of handling three sepa rate books -composition book, Latin Grammar, and Caesar or of making, with insufficient experience and on insufficient data, inductions which are usually erroneous. The sentences herein set for the pupil are based on principles plainly stated and copiously illustrated. There is no servile imitation of the language of Caesar, though the sentences are chie?y of a mili tary character based on the principles of syntax exemplified in Caesar's work.
