Excerpt from The First Part of Jacobs and Döring's Latin Reader: Adapted to Andrews and Stoddard's Latin Grammar, and to Andrew's First Latin BookThe references at the foot of the pages relate to the sections and subordinate divisions of Andrews and Stod dard's Latin Grammar. The references to Andrews' First Latin Book may be found at the close of the volume. The marks of reference in the text refer both to the notes at the foot of the page and to those at the end of the book. In the latter series, indeed, other notes are occasionally added, and their place is denoted by quoting the words of the text to which such notes relate.The following extracts from the preface to the first ed i tion will sufficiently explain the manner in which the Reader was originally prepared by its present editor.Three things were found to claim particular attention, in preparing a new edition of this work. The first was the ar rangement of the Introductory Lessons, so as best to illus trate the principles of the Grammar, to which they were to be adapted. The second was to furnish such grammatical notes and references as should be necessary, in order to explain the more difficult forms and constructions occur ring in the work. The third was the preparation of a vocabulary more perfectly adapted, than those usually found in introductory works, to the purpose for which it was intended.To accomplish the first purpose, it was found necessary to make a few additions to the original work, with the in tention of illustrating more fully the principal rules of Latin construction. That the object of the Introductory Lessons may be better understood, and the place which each lesson occupies in syntax more fully apprehended, each section is prefaced by a series of questions relating to those parts of the Grammar intended to be illustrated.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
