A series of sixtv-five lessons aftbrding an adequate preparation 

 for the reading of C;esar. The lessons are carefully graded ; the 

 rules, clear and concise. 



Without assuming much knowledge of English grammar on the 

 part of the student, the general principles of nrflcction and syntax 

 are gradually developed. 



The selection of words tor the vocabulary is based on the latest 

 and most systematic analysis of tlie vocabular)- of the authors 

 usually read in our schools. Words have been chosen with particu- 

 lar attention to their comparative frequency of occurrence, and with 

 especial reference to the vocal;)ulary of Ctesar, so that few words 

 have been admitted which are not of very common occurrence in 

 that author. 



The exercises consist of three parts: detached Latin seirtences ; 

 a passage of connected Latin; and sentences for translation from 

 English into Latin. The detaclied Latin sentences are intended 

 for practice in the paradigms and sMitax of the lesson, while tlie 

 passages of connected Latin affird practice in reading narrative 

 Latin and review work in vocabularv and svntax. 



A simple system ot reference and cross reference is employed so 

 that any page, paragraph, or footnote mav be quickly found. The 

 paradigms presenting the inflections of the various parts of speech 

 are found in Appendix I. A sunnnarv of rules is given in Ap- 

 pendix II.
