Beginning Latin, an introduction, by way of English, to the Latin language

by Perley Oakland Place

The study of Latin is an intensive study of English. Besides its impor- tance for a mastery of French, Spanish, and Italian, the study of Latin fosters habits of persistence, thoroughness, and accuracy; it cultivates the power to understand the thoughts of others and to express one's own. Translating is "labora- tory work in literature," admirable exercise in expression, in- suring steadily increasing power in the use of a varied and rich vocabulary as the great authors, Caesar, Cicero, and Vergil, are successively read. This Book Emphasizes the Relation of Latin to English.
