This book is designed to prepare pupils in a thorough fashion to read Caesar’s Gallic War. It contains seventy lessons, including ten that are devoted exclusively to reading, and six supplementary lessons. The first seventy lessons contain the minimum of what a pupil should know before he is ready to read Latin with any degree of intelligence and satisfaction. The supplementary lessons deal largely with certain principles of syntax that some teachers may not wish to present to their pupils during the first year’s work. They are independent of one another and of the rest of the book, and may therefore be taken up in any order that the teacher wishes, or any number of them may be omitted.
The work contains many features and pedagogical improvements which will commend themselves to teachers of first year Latin. Various simplifications in statement are introduced, and throughout the greatest care has been taken to preserve scientific accuracy while enunciating principles in the simplest forms.
