Excerpt from The First Part of Jacobs' Latin Reader, Adapted to Bullions' Latin Grammar: With an Introduction, on the Idioms of the Latin Language; An Improved Vocabulary; And Exercises in Latin Prose Composition, on a New Plan

The method of reference and_ explanation here adopted entirely supersedes the use of notes, by rendering them unnecessary, and it is believed will prove vastly more profitable to the student than any number of notes could be, which generally do nothing more than give the meaning of an idiom or phrase in a free translation, with out any explanation of its construction. Though this sort of aid enables the pupil to get along with the translation of a sentence, it leaves him as much in the dark as ever respecting its construction. The consequence is, that when he meets with a similar construction again in different words, he is as much at a loss as ever, and finds his progress arrested unless he is again lifted over blindfold by the aid of another friendly note. It is obvious that persons, in this way, may go over much surface; and if they have a memory capa ble of bringing to their aid the translation in the note when it is wanted, they may be able to give a good translation of what they have gone over,. And yet know nothing, or next to nothing, of the construction of what they have read; and hence it happens that knowing but little of principles, or of the method of analyzing the idioms and more' difficult constructions of the language, whenever they come to an author or passage where the wonted supply of notes is wanting, they find themselves unable to proceed; or if they do.
