Extract from the Introduction 



This book is an attempt to meet the requirements of the 

 first year of learning Latin, as prescribed by the Report of 

 the Curricula Committee of the Classical Association. 



The following points should (according to the Report) be 

 borne in mind in a book containing work for the first year: 



(i) Vocabulary: At least 500 of the commonest words 

 should be mastered during the year. 



(2) Repetition: Words and forms should be frequently 

 repeated until the learner is thoroughly familiar with them. 



(3) Methods of teaching: A variety of methods should 

 be used such as {a) Oral question and answer in Latin, 

 {b) Repetition of sentences with changes of tense and other 

 variations, (^c) Conversion of simple English sentences into 

 Latin, (d) Comparison of Latin words with PVench and 

 English derivatives. 



In this book the different forms of the simple sentence 

 are treated first side by side with the development of the 

 regular accidence, and then some of the commonest and 

 simplest forms of subordinate clauses with the indicative and 



subjunctive moods The chief uses of the cases are also 



introduced, and the principal prepositions. The accidence 

 covers the five regular declensions of nouns, the declensions 

 of the adjectives and pronouns, the formation of adverbs, the 

 numerals, the four conjugations of the regular verb in the 

 active voice throughout, and in the present passive (excluding 

 all the participles), and the conjugation of suin, the -io verbs 

 like capio, and the chief irregular verbs.
