The " High School Course in Latin Composition " is planned to fur- 

 nish material for practice in writing Latin during the last three years of 

 the course. The exercises are divided into three parts which corre- 

 spond to the years in which Ca^sar, Cicero, and Vergil are read. 



Part I treats the syntax of nouns and the following subjects in the 

 syntax of verbs : indirect questions, tense sequence, simple sentences 

 in indirect discourse, purpose and result clauses, infinitives, gerunds 

 and gerundives, ch/h clauses, participles, the ablative absolute, the pas- 

 sive periphrastic conjugation, and complex sentences in indirect dis- 

 course. 



Part II develops the syntax of the verb and supplements the noun 

 syntax of Part I. 



The first twenty-four lessons of Part III review and supplement the 

 syntax of Parts I and II ; the rest are exercises in writing connected 

 prose. 



The exercises have been so based on the texts of Cssar and Cicero 

 usually read in our schools, as to summarize the content of those texts 

 and to have sequence of thought from sentence to sentence. However, 

 the text has not been so closely followed as to lead students to look for 

 aid from that source. 



A general English-Latin vocabulary is given at the end of the book. 

 In addition a set of special vocabularies, consisting of twenty words, 

 is given for each lesson, at the ends of Parts I, II, and III. Great care 

 has been taken to make these vocabularies as serviceable as possible, 

 and not only the individual words are given, but the idioms associated 

 with those words and the references to the principles of syntax with 

 them.
