 auxiliary :

LESSONS IN LATIN. II. 



SECTION II. PRELIMINABY INSTRUCTIONS IN THE VERBS. 



IN regard to the exercises which I am about to give, you should 

 first learn the vocabulary by heart. If yours is a mechanical 

 trade, you may repeat the words over again and again while 

 engaged in labour. Or you may make the words your own 

 while walking to and from your employment. Among my per- 

 sonal friends is a gentleman who acquired the greater part of 

 the words of the French language, while rising and dressing in 

 the morning. Thousands of words have I myself learnt while 

 walking for recreation. 



Having thoroughly mastered the vocabulary, take a slate and 

 write down the Latin into English ; then write the English into 

 Latin. Look over what you have done carefully. Correct 

 every mistake and error. If you look into the exercises you 

 will find that the English will assist you in writing the Latin, 

 and the Latin will assist you in writing the English. When 

 you have got both the Latin and the English into as correct a 

 state as you can, copy them neatly into a note-book. Having 

 done so, read them carefully over, and compare each instance 

 with the rule or the direction, and also the example. Leave 

 nothing until you understand the reason. All the examples or 

 illustrations that I give, as well as the chief rules, should be 

 committed to memory. Before yu proceed to a second lesson, 

 ascertain that you are master of the first. It would be useful 

 to write out the rules in one consecutive view, in order that, 

 having them all at once under your eye, you may study them in 

 their connection and as a whole, so as to see their bearing one 

 upon another, and the general results to which they lead. Such 

 a practice would have a very beneficial effect on your mind, by 

 habituating it to arrangement and order, and might be expected 

 to afford you valuable aid, both in other studies and in your 

 business pursuits. Carefully avoid haste and slovenliness. Do 

 your best in all that you undertake. " Well," not " much," 

 should be your watchword. Repeated reviews of the ground 

 passed over are very desirable. Every Saturday you should go 

 carefully over what you have done during the week. At the 

 end of every month the work of the month should be reviewed. 

 On arriving at a natural division of our subject as for instance, 

 when we have treated of the nouns you should go over, and put 

 together in your mind the substance of what has been said 

 thereon. " Let us not be weary in well doing : for in due season 

 we shall reap, if we faint not." (Gal. vi. 9.) 



VOCABULARY. 



Curro, I run. The chief parts are curro, T run; currere, to run; 

 cucurri, I have run; cursus, run. The English representative, or the 

 element in English derived from the parts, is curr ; also curs or cours. 

 Con, from cum, means with} dis signifies in different directions; ex 

 signifies out of. 



EXERCISE 1. LATIN-ENGLISH. 



Curro and its parts give rise to several English words, as cun-ent 

 (" the current coin of the realm ") ; currency (" the circulating 

 medium"). Another example is found in the phrase "account 

 current." 



EXERCISE 2. ENGLISH-LATIN. 



Find English words derived from some part of curro ; find English 

 words derived from curro, with in prefixed ; also with con prefixed ; 

 also with dis prefixed ; also with ex prefixed. 



Remark. In order to make my meaning quite clear, I will 

 myself do this exercise in part. From cursus comes the Eng- 

 lish word course ; from in and curs comes incursion ; from ex 

 and curs comes excursion. If the reader is acquainted with, or 

 is learning French, he will do well, as he passes on, to find out 

 French words corresponding to, and derived from, Latin worda ; 

 as in courir, French to run; cours, a course. By comparison 

 he may occasionally find that the same sound or word has a 

 different meaning in French from what it has in Latin or ii 

 English. Thus, concursus in Latin means a coming together, 

 as to a meeting, a concourse of people ; but the corresponding
