Excerpt from An Introduction to Latin Syntax
AS regards arrangement, I have on the whole followed the lines of the Public Schools Primer, though I have not hesitated to depart from the order there Observed, where it seemed to me that greater clearness would be attained by so doing. Such departures occur chiefly in the treatment Of the ablative and Of the genitive. There is also an important one in Chapter II, Section 4, where, after the explanation of the accusative with infinitive, is introduced that of the mood and tense in a subordinate clause depending on an accusative with infinitive. It would be absurd for a boy to work all through the rules on the several cases, and those on the infinitive, gerunds, supines, and gerundive, before he had any practice in the commonest use Of the subjunctive; and this seemed the most natural place to introduce it.
Each Section concludes with one or more exercises, to test the pupil's power of applying the rule which has just been arrived at. In the framing of these exercises great care has been taken to illustrate the rules previously treated as well as those immediately under consideration, so that the pupil may by constant repetition be kept from forgetting what he has once learned.

Excerpt from An Introduction to Latin Syntax
This little book is an attempt, based on the experience of several years, first as assistant master at a public school, and then as the master of a preparatory school, to present Latin syntax in such a way as to require less supplementing by oral explanation than is necessary with an ordinary memorial syntax (though for many boys this oral explanation can never be entirely dispensed with), and to make it impossible for any boy to learn the rules as mere forms of words, without any attempt at understanding them. Instead of beginning with an abstract (and therefore, to most boys, meaningless) rule to be learned, each Section begins with a Latin sentence or sentences illustrative of the rule which is to be explained. The master should see that the pupil is able to translate these sentences word for word, and to parse every word in them. When he can do this, he will be in a position to understand the analysis of the sentences which follows, leading him up by a kind of induction to the rule, which is thus only presented to him when he is able to recognise its truth.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book guides readers through Latin syntax. Grounded in the author's experience both as an assistant master at a public school and the master of a preparatory school, it was written to reduce the need for oral supplementation. Rather than beginning with abstract rules, it introduces these gradually through a series of exercises paired with illustrative sentences. This makes the rules more accessible and easier to understand for students of varying abilities. The author's strategy ensures students can learn and apply the rules independently, fostering a deeper understanding of Latin grammar.
