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.
