Excerpt from Writing Latin, Vol. 5 The present volume, while it has been prepared to follow the author's writing latin - book one, has such complete ness that it can be used with pupils who have not studied the introductory book. This is made possible by the addi tion of a summary of the grammatical principles employed in book one, to which reference is made by number in the Exercises. The lessons are arranged in groups, following somewhat more elaborately the system employed in book one, in which an effort was made to bring together in an orderly fashion things which, from the standpoint of English, are naturally associated, but which are apt to be confounded when studied separately. AS in book one, therefore, the order of subjects, While systematic, is unconventional, presenting at an early stage the simpler and essential aspects of some constructions which are often deferred to a later period than their im portance demands. Thus, Indirect Discourse is attacked at the outset, in order that much practice in writing its simpler forms may at length produce that familiarity with its point of view which will make the more complicated varieties intelligible. With the same object, a group of lessons has been early introduced on the Latin Equivalents of the English Infinitive. Beginning with uses identical in the two languages, this subject is developed with reference to the Latin parallels for the English infinitive according to its use as noun, adjective, or adverb.
