Excerpt from The New Latin Reader, Containing The Latin Text For The Purpose Of Recitation: Accompanied With a Key, Containing The Text, a Literal And Free Translation, Arranged in Such a Manner As To Point Out The Difference Between The Latin And The English Idioms, For The Use Of Beginners in The Study Of The Latin LanguageThe number of branches esteemed necessary for a polite education has, of late years, greatly increased. Subjects connected with the more abstruse sciences have been classi fied and simplified, so as to be brought within the compass of a common intellect, and of the youthful period of life. The modern languages of Europe are daily claiming more and more of our attention.These changes, though they have by no means dimin'ished the usefulness of the ancient languages, have taken from youth a great portion of that time, which formerly was so liberally allotted to the study of them. A shorter method of learning the Latin language is needed to meet this new emergency. Ìt 1s the object of this work to furnish a method by which the Latin may be learned at an early age, and the riper years of the pupi] be reserved for the studies that belong to them. The difference between the Latin and the English idioms - the difficulty of remembering all the in¿exions of the nouns, adjectives, and verbs - and the inverted order of words peculiar to the Romans - are obstacles too great to be encountered al] at once. We must engage with them singly.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
