PREFACE.
53 fAAi/\J
The first distinctive feature of this book is, as its name suggests, that the lessons contain connected Latin passages for the pupil to read. As soon as practicable, the special grammatical points to be learned in each lesson are illustrated, not in disconnected sentences, but in a continuous Latin story. The stories are drawn chiefly from Koman mythology and traditional Koman history, interspersed with an occasional passage on the life of the Eomans. This plan has the following advan- tages : —
1. It acts as a powerful incentive to work.
2. It adds directly to the pupiVs knowledge of Roman mythology, traditions, and customs.
3. It emphasizes at the outset the fact that grammar is Tnerely a means to the enjoyment of literature.
The second feature of the book is that all the exer- cises for translating English into Latin are based on the Latin text immediately preceding them.
A third point of special importance is that, beginning with Lesson XV, a passage to be translated at sight is included in every lesson. In the report of the Latin Conference to the Committee on Secondary School Studies this point is particularly emphasized. After stating the views of those who shrink from adopting
iu
iv PREFACE.
translation at sight as the sole test of the pupil's at-- tainments, the following significant sentence is added : " Yet the importance of devoting a good deal of atten- tion to translation at sight is now universally acknowl- edged among the best teachers in school and college ; and the recommendation that translation at sight form a constant and increasing part of the examination for admission and of the work of preparation, is therefore regarded by the Conference as of especial moment."
Lastly, questions in Latin, referring to the text, are included in the lessons, in the hope that teachers will avail themselves of this simple but effective mode of familiarizing their scholars with the Latin itself. Noth- ing gives the jmpil a firmer grasp on phrases, nothing fits him more quickly to understand Latin without trans- lating it, than this very method of asking and answering questions in Latin.
In addition to these more important features of the book, attention is directed to the following points : —
1. The systematic and thorough drill on pronuncia- tion in the first two lessons.
2. The incorporation of all necessary principles of English grammar in the body of the book.
3. The omission of the Vocative case in the para- digms, sufficient emphasis being laid upon it in the rules.
4. The use of -is instead of -es in the Accusative Plural of -i stems of the Third Declension. This has not only become necessary on account of its use in many of the latest school texts, but it is desirable as a means of distinguishing between the Nominative and Accusative Plural.
PREFACE. V
5. The comparative view of the declensions of nouns and adjectives in the tables on pages 204 and 211.
6. The comparative view of the four regular conjuga- tions in the body of the book, supplemented on pages i22 1-231 by the presentation of the Active and Passive voices of each conjugation, side by side.
7. The questions for the pupils at the end of the lessons. These are not intended to take the place of questions by the teacher, but are merely to enable the pupil to ascertain whether he has thoroughly mastered his lesson.
The lessons appear to be much longer than they really are. It must be remembered that the labors of the pupil practically end with the translation of the English sentences into Latin, the rest of the lesson being re- served for the class-room.
The author is indebted to many friends for helpful suggestions, but particularly to Professor P. J. Bartlett of the Albany Normal College, and to Professor C. B. GooLD of the Albany Academy.
It is hoped that the use of this book will not only add to the beginner's enjoyment of Latin, but that it will insure rapid progress and unusual facility in reading and understanding the language.

6 LATIN READER. — LESSON IIL
LESSON III. Noun, Verb, Subject, Object.
21. A ISToun is the name of any person, place, or thing, as : Jolin, Boston, table. .
22. A Verb expresses action or being, as: run, is. Every sentence must contain a verb.
23. The Subject in a sentence is tliat which does the action, and is said, to be in the aSTominatiVe case, as : The dog bites.
24. The Object is that which receives the action, and is said to be in the Accusative case, as : The dog bit the boy.
25. In English, the subject is usually put before the verb; the object after it. In the two sentences which follow, note the difference in meaning, caused by chan- ging the position of the word boy.
The boy killed the ivolf. The wolf killed the boy.
a. In Latin, this difference is expressed — not by changing the order of the nouns — but by their endings.
26. Note carefully the endings of the words in the following Latin sentences :
Vitat. (JETe, sAe, or if) avoids.
Nauta vitat. The sailor avoids.
Nauta advenam vitat. The sailor avoids the stranger.
Nautam advena vitat. The stranger avoids the sailor.
a. Observe that the verb vitat ends in -t. The verb- stem vita- means avoid. As in English, when the sub-
SUBJECT AND OBJECT. 7
ject is he, she, or it, we add -s to the verb (e.g., he avoids), so the Latin adds -t.
b. Notice :
That nauta and advena, when used as subjects, end in -a;
That nauta and advena, when used as objects, end in -am.

INFLECTION.
41. Changing the form of a word to show its relation to other words is called Inflection.
a. The Inflection of nouns, adjectives, and pronouns is called Declension.
b. The Inflection of verbs is called Conjugation.
42. The Stem of a word is that common part from which the changes of inflection are formed. In the First Declension, the stem ends in -a, as : poeta.
43. The Base of a Avord is that part which is not changed in inflection, as : poet-.

12 LATIN HEADER. — LESSON VL
LESSON VI.
Gender ; Genitive of Possession ; Pronouns, Adverbs.
46. In English, there are three genders, viz.. Mascu- line, Feminine, and Neuter.
a. The Masculine gender denotes males, as : ma7i, boy: h. The Feminine gender denotes females, as : woman,
girl.
c. The Neuter gender denotes neither male nor female,
as : book, table.
47. In Latin, also, there are these three genders; and males are always in the Masculine, and females in the Feminine gender. But there is this important dif- ference — that many nouns which are Neuter in English are either Masculine, Feminine, or Neuter in Latin ; their gender being determined by their ending rather than by their meaning ; e.g., liber, book is Masculine ; mensa, table is Feminine.

82. Observe that the declension of nouns in -um differs from that of nouns in -us only in the Nominative Singular and in the Nominative and Accusative Plural.
83. Nouns ending in -ius and -ium contract -il of the Genitive Singular into a single -i, without changing the accent, as : fill for fllil, inge'nl for inge'nii; so also the Vocative of names ending in -ius, and of filius and genius, as : Vergili for Vergi'lie ; mi fill = my so7i.
PREDICATE NOMINATIVE.
84. The Predicate in a sentence is what is said of the subject.

a. Carolus agricolam vitat. Charles avoids the farmer.
b. Carolus est nauta. Charles is a sailor.
Observe :
c. That, in the Predicate of example (a), vitat — a verb of action — takes an object in the Accusative case, according to Eule II.
d. That, in the Predicate of example (b), est — a verb of bein(/ — cannot take an object ; and that nanta, since it describes the subject, is put in the same case as the subject.
85. Rule VII. A Predicate noun, describing the sub- ject, is put in the Nominative.
PREDICATE NOMINATIVE. 28
PREPOSITIONS.
86. A Preposition shows the relation between words. Thus, in the sentence : The hook is lying on the table, on is a preposition, showing the relation between is lying and tuhle. In Latin, prepositions are followed by the Accusative or Ablative.
87. The following prepositions are followed by the Ablative :
A, ab, absque, coram, de, Palam, clam, cum, ex and e, Pro, prae, tenus and sine ; Sometimes in, sub, super, subter.
Note. The teacher should now explain the use of the Vocab- ulary.
All other prepositions are followed by the Accusative, cher s

QUESTIONS.
90. How do Neuters of the Second Declension differ from Masculines ? Accent the Vocative Singular of Pompeius, Lucius, filius. Accent the Genitive Singular of hospitium. What is a Predicate noun ? Define Preposition. What preposi- tions are followed by the Ablative? Decline oppidum, villa, fluvius, faenum, vicinus.
LESSON XL Adjectives in -us, -a, -um ; Ablative of Means.
91. An Adjective describes a noun, as : a bad boi/.
Bonus servus. A good slave.
Bonarum puellarum. Of good girls. Bono porno. With a good apple.
a. Observe that, while in English the adjective does not change, in Latin its ending varies according to the gendei; number^ and case of the noun it describes. With adjectives in -us, -a, -um, if the noun is Masculine, the adjective has the endings of a Second Declension noun in -us. If the noun is Feminine, the adjective has the First Declension endings. If the noun is Neuter, the adjective has the endings of a Second Declension noun in -um.
92. Rule VIII. An Adjective agrees with the noun it describes in gender, number, and case.

LESSON XIV. Mood ; First Conjugation ; Principal Parts.
124. Mood is the mode or manner in which the action or being is expressed.
125. The Indicative mood is used to express a fact ^ as: I have studied my lesson.
126. The Imperative mood is used to express a comm.and^ as : Study your lesson.
THE CONJUGATIONS.
127. Regular verbs are divided into four conjugations. Each of these has a characteristic vowel in the stem, as follows :
a. I. Conjugation, -a: as, ama-, ^ove.
h. II. Conjugation, -e: as, mone-, i«arw.
c. III. Conjugation, -e : as, rege-, rule.
d. IV. Conjugation, -I : as, audi-, hear.
PRINCIPAL PARTS.
128. The stems from which the various tenses are formed are found in the Principal Parts of every verb. These parts are :
a. The First person Singular of the Present Indicative, as : amo.
h. The Present Infinitive, as : amare.
c. The First person Singular of the Perfect Indicative, as : amavi.
d. The Perfect Passive Participle, as : amatus.
PRINCIPAL PARTS. 35
Thus the Principal Parts of amo are : amo, amare, aniavi, amatus.
129. The Present stem is found by dropping -re from the Present Infinitive, thus : ama-.
a. The Perfect stem is found by dropping -i from the Perfect Indicative, as : amav-.
h. The Participial stem is found by dropping -us from the Perfect Passive Participle, as : amat-.
130. First Conjugation. Present stein, ama-, love.
INDICATIVE mood. PRESENT TENSE. SINGULAR. PLURAL.
am-o, I love. ama-mus, we love.

ama-bi-s, you will love. amji-bi-tis, you will love.
ama-bi-t, he will love. ama-bu-nt, they will love.
' Observe :
a. That the Present tense consists of Present stem -f- Personal endings.
b. That the Imperfect tense consists of Present stem -j- -ba -|- Personal endings.
c. That the Future tense consists of Present stem -}- -bi 4- Personal endings.
36 LATIN READER. —LESSON XIV.
131. Exc. The verb do, give, is irregular in having da- (not da-) for its Present stem, as: da-ba-t, da-bi-tis.
132. Note. Remember that the Present tense may be translated : / love, or, / am lovi7ig, or, / do love, etc. So, also, the Imperfect tense may be translated : / was lovirig, or, / did love, or, / used to love, or, / loved, etc.

a. They have -ium in the Genitive Plural.
THIRD DECLENSION — I STEMS. 55
b. Neuters in -e, -al, and -ar have -I in the Ablative Singular, and -ia in the Nominative and Accusative Plural.
c. Steins in -is and -es have -Is or -es in the Accusa- tive Plural.
d. The Accusative Singular of stems in -is and -es varies between -im and -em,
e. The Ablative Singular of stems in -is and -es varies between -I and -e.
179. Note. i stems in -is and -es are easily distinguished
from consonant stems in -is and -es; for -i stems have the same number of syllables in the Genitive as in the Nominative Singular, while consonant stems increase the number of syllables; thus, col-lis, Genitive col-lis, is an -i stem; but la-pis, Genitive la-pi-dis, is a consonant stem. So also cae-des, Genitive cae- dis, is an -i stem; but co-mes, Genitive co-mi-tis, is a consonant stem.
180. To -i stems belong :
a. Nouns in -is and -es (not increasing in the Geni- tive).
b. Neuters in -e, -al, and -ar.
181. Like tussis, decline sitis, thirst (in the Singular only, because of its meaning).

LESSON XXII.
Verb Sum — Perfect, Pluperfect, and Future Per- fect Indicative ; Imperative.
198. There are three tenses in the Indicative mood besides the Present, Imperfect, and Future ; viz., the Perfect, Pluperfect, and Future Perfect.
199. The Perfect tense denotes either :
a. An action completed in the past, without reference to its C07itinuance ; as: I walked; or,
b. An action completed in the present, as: I have walked.
200. The Pluperfect tense denotes an action completed in the past, before some other action was begun, as : / had walked a mile, when I met a stranger.
201. The Future Perfect tense denotes an action com- pleted in the future, as : I shall have ivalked.
202. The Imperative mood has but two tenses, the Present and the Future.

a. Observe that the te7ise signs in the Present, Imper- fect, and Future are the same as in the Active voice.
h. In the Perfect, Phiperfect, and Future Perfect tenses, the participle amatus must agree with the sub- ject of the verb in gender, number, and case, as : pater amatus est, mater amata est, etc.

255. ABLATIVE OF AGENT.
Oppidum a Caesare expugnatum est. The town was taken by Caesar.
Observe that Caesare is in the Ablative with the preposition a, and that it denotes the agent or j^ei^son by whom the action was done. Hence it is called the Ablative of Agent.
256. Rule XVIII. The Ablative with the preposition a or ab is used to denote the Agent after Passive verbs.
Note. — a may be used on??/before words beginning with a con- sonant; ab before words beginning with a vowel or a consonant. (Compare the use of a and an in English.)

ARION ET DELPHINUS.
265. Clarissimi vates anliquitatis fuerunt Orpheus et A lion. Ex his, ille Thracius, hic Lesbius fuit. De Aiione haeo res adliuc memoria teiietur: Apud Periandrum, regem Coriuthi, ArTon multos annos habitabat. Aliquaiido in Siciliam transmisit. Ubique reges prlncipesque dulcedine carminum Arionis de- lectabantur. Denique multis pretiosls donis onustus navem conscendit, et Graeciam repetebat. Nautae aiitem avari erant, atque Arioni mortem struebant. Vates illorum mala consilia sentit et misericordiam implorat sed frustra. Denique extremam veniam orat atque impetrat. Protinus splendidam vestem induit, et lyram sumit.

RELATIVE AND INDEFINITE PRONOUNS. 97
279. INDEFINITE PRONOUNS.
1. aliquis (-qui), aliqua, aliquid (-quod), some one, any one, some, any.
2. quis (qui), quae, quid (quod), some one, any one, some, any.
3. quidam, quaedam, quiddam (quoddam), certain one, certain.
4. quisque, quaeque, quidque (quodque), each one, every.
5. quisquam, , quidquam (no plural), any one.
a. In the Interrogative and Indefinite pronouns, the forms quis and quid are generally used as nouns, the forms qui and quod as adjectives, thus: Quis soribit? Who is writing ? Qui puer scribit ? What hoy is writ- i7uj ? This is also true of compounds of quis.
h. The compounds are declined like the simple pro- nouns, except that in quidam, m changes to n before d, as : quendam. Aliquis has aliqua in the Feminine Nomi- native Singular, and also in the Neuter Nominative and Accusative Plural.
c. The Indefinite pronoun quis is chiefly used with si, nisi, ne, and num, and then means any one, a,ny.
280. USE OF THE RELATIVE PRONOUN.
1. Tu, qui epistulam scripsisti, poenas solves. You, who wrote the letter, shall i^ay the 'penalty.
2. Mulier, quam defenderam, mea mater fuit. The woman, -whom / had defended, ivas my mother.
In the first example, observe that the Eelative pro- noun qui agrees with its antecedent (the word to which it refers) in gender, number, and person. For qui is
98 LATIN READER. — LESSON XXXI.
Masculine in form, and it is followed by its verb scrip- sisti in the Second person and Singular number.
In like manner, observe that quam in the second ex- ample agrees Avith mulier in being Feminine Third Singu- lar. But notice that in both examples the case of the pronoun is not determined by the case of its antece- dent, but by its relation to the other words in the clause in which it stands. For qui,iXfi the subject of scripsisti, is in the Nominative case ; Avhile quam, as the object of defenderam, is in the Accusative case.
281. Rule XIX. A Relative pronoun agrees with its antecedent in gender, number, and person; but its case depends on the construction of the clause in which it stands.

Thus in Eng- lish we say : a tall tree, a taller tree, the tallest tree ; i.e., starting with the simple adjective, — which is said to be in the positive degree, — we add -er to form the comparative degree, and -est to form the superlative de- gree, as :
102 LATIN READER. —LESSON XXXIL
rOSlTIVK. COMPARATIVE. SUPERLATIVE.
tall, taller^ tallest.
Now observe the Latin :
289. REGULAR COMrARISON. POSITIVE. COMPAUATIVE. SUPERLATIVE.
latus {stem Ifito-), latior, -ius, latissimus, -a, -um,
imde. wider. widest.
fortis (stem forti-), fortior, -ius, fortissimus, -a, -um,
brave. braver. bravest.
audfix (stem audfic-), audricior, -ius, audficissimus, -a, -um,
bold. bolder. boldest.
sapiens (s^em sapient-), sapientior, -ius, sapientissimus, -a, -um,
wise. wiser. wisest.
a. Observe that the comparative is formed by adding -ior, -ius, to the stem of the adjective, and the superla- tive by adding -issimus, -a, -um, dropping the final vowel of the stem, if there is any.
h. Compare gravis, heavy, atrox, fierce, longus, long, prudens, idrudent, felix, hapj^y, altus, high, levis, light.
290. In English, when it would not sound well to compare the adjective by adding -er and -est, we prefix the adverbs more and inost, as: beautiful, more beauti- ful, most beautiful. Likewise in Latin some adjectives are compared by prefixing the adverbs magis, more, and maxime, uiost, as : idoiieus, suitable, magis idoneus, more suitable, maxime idoneus, most suitable.

a. Comparatives are declined like latior. Notice how closely the declension of comparatives resembles that of consonant stems, differing in this respect from other adjectives of the Third Declension. See § 218, a.
h. Superlatives are declined like bonus.
c. The comparative may sometimes be translated rather, as : Durior iudex erat, He was a rather severe judge.
d. The superlative may sometimes be translated very, as : Durissimus iudex erat, He was a very severe judge.

ABLATIVE WITH COMPARATIVES.
1. Caesar erat fortior quam Cicero. Caesar loas braver than Cicero.
2. Caesar erat fortior Cicerone. Caesar was braver than Cicero.
104 LATIN READER. — LESSON XXXIL
Notice that in the first example, where quam (than) is used, Cicero is in the same case as Caesar, the word with which it is compared. But in the second example, where quam is omitted, Cicerone is in the Ablative case.
293. Rule XX. The comparative degree is followed by the Ablative when quam is omitted.
Note. — Quam may be omitted only when the first of the com- pared words is either in the Nominative or Accusative case.
THESEUS.
294. Theseus a sua matre in urbe Troezene educa- tus est. Nam, ubi etiam parvolus erat, eius pater Aegeus, qui imperium Atheiiarum habuit, uxorem deseruerat et suum regnum repetiverat. Primo The- seus ludicris certaminibus vires auxit. Mox erat validior ceteris iuveuibus eiusdem aetatis. Deinde in venatione saltus peragrabat. Semper princeps in peiiculo erat atque fortissimus armis. Nemo ex om- nibus Argolicis iuvenibus iaculo levibusque sagittis celerior erat. Compliiris feras occidit, sed maxime saevissimam suem, quae agros diii vastabat. lam no- men These! per totam terram Argolicam clarissimum erat.

304. ABLATIVE OF DEGREE OF DIFFERENCE.
1. Arbor sex pedibus altior est quam turris. The
tree is (by) six feet h'ujlier than flie tower.
2. Crassus multo divitior erat Caesare. Crassus was (by) much richer than Caesar.
In the first example, the Ablative sex pedibus Qx^idHy expresses the difference between the height of the tree and that of the tower. In the second example, the Ablative multo is an indefinite expression of the differ- ence between the wealth of Crassus and that of Caesar. Such ablatives are called Ablatives of Degree of Dif- ference.
305. Rule XXI. The Ablative is used to express the Degree of Difference.

LESSON XXXIV.
Formation and Comparison of Adverbs ; Genitive and Ablative of Characteristic. 311.
a. latus {stem lato-), wide. lilte, widely. pulcher {stem pulchro-), beautiful. pulchre, beautifully.
Observe that adverbs are formed from adjectives of the Second Declension by changing the final -o of the stem to -e.
b. gravis {stem gravi-), heavy. graviter, heavily. acer {stem fieri-), sharp. acriter, sharply. prudens {stein prudent-), prudent, prudenter, prudently.
Observe that adverbs are formed from adjectives of the Third Declension by adding -ter to the stem. Stems in -nt drop -t before adding -ter.
FORMATION AND COMPARISON OF ADVERBS. Ill
c. (1). multus, much. (2). facilis, easy. (3). subitus, sudden.
multum, much. facile, easily. subito, suddenly.
The Neuter Accusative Singular of the adjective is sometimes used as an adverb, as in examples (1) and (2). Likewise the Ablative, as in example (3).
312.
POSITIVE.
late, widely. graviter, heavily.
COMPARISON OF ADVERBS. COMPARATIVE.
Ifitius, more widely.
gravius, more heav- ily.
SUPERLATIVE.
latissime, most
widely. gravissime, most
heavily.
Notice that the comparative of the adverb is the same as the Neuter comparative of the adjective. The super- lative of the adverb is formed from the superlative of the adjective by changing the final -o of the stem to -e. If the adjective is irregular, the adverb will show the same irregularities. Learn the following :
313.
COMPARISON OF IRREGULAR ADVERBS.
bene, well. male, ill. multum, much.
melius, better. peius, worse. plus, more. magis, more.
parum, not enough, minus, less.
optime, best. pessime, worst. plurimum, most. maxime, most. minime, least.
314.
GENITIVE AND ABLATIVE OF CHARACTERISTIC.
1. Vir magnae virtutis. A man of great valor.
2. Vir fuit humili statura. He was a man of short stature.
Observe that, in the first example, virtutis is in the Genitive, and that, in connection with the adjective
112 LATIN READER. —LESSON XXXIV.
magnae, it expresses a characteristic or quality of the man. But notice that, in the second example, 2i physi- cal characteristic or quality is expressed by staturU, with an accompanying adjective, in the Ablative case. Physi- cal characteristics are always thus expressed by the Ablative. Other qualities by either the Genitive or Ablative.
315. Rule XXII. The Genitive and Ablative are used, with a modifying adjective, to denote a charac- teristic or quality.
THESEUS ET LATRONES.
316. Scirou erat ingenti magnitudine corporis atque terribili aspectii. In quern tamen Theseus cum ferro audacissime invasit. Diu atque acriter piignatum est. Denique Scirou supplex misericor- diam iniplorat. Sed Theseus latronem ad Imam rupem demittit eodem modo, quo ille multos viatores tam crudeliter necaverat. Qua ex re nomeu Sci- ronis erat scopulls.
Haud ita multo post Theseus in Atticam pervenit, atque ibi Cercyonem liictamine vicit necavitque. Sic Theseus perditis hominibus latronibusque omnis generis llberabat omnIs terras, per quas in itinere contendebat.

120 LATIN READER. — LESSON XXXVL
b. That the Perfect is formed by adding -isse to the Perfect stem.
c. That the Future is formed by adding -urus, -a, -um esse to the Participial stem.
333. COMPLEMENTARY INFINITIVE.
Cupit die ere, He desires to speak.
Notice that the Infinitive die ere completes the mean- ing of cupit. Hence it is called the Complementary Infinitive.
334. PLACE WHERE. LOCATIVE CASE.
In oppido. In the town. Romae. At Rome.
In Italia. In Italy. Athenis. At Athens.
In Africa. In Africa. Curibus. At Cures.
Observe that oppido, Italia, and Africa are in the Ab- lative with the preposition in, and that they denote the place ivhere. But notice that the 7iavies of toivns denot- ing ^/ctce where omit the preposition, and are put in the Locative Case. This in the Singular of nouns of the First and Second Declension is like the Genitive ; else- where, it is like the Ablative. Account for the form of Romae, Athenis, and Curibus.
335. Rule XXIV. Place where is expressed by the Ablative with the preposition in. Names of towns are put in the Locative.
336. PLACE TO WHICH.
In Italiam. To Italy. Romam. To Rome.
Ad flumen. To the river. Delphos. To Delphi.
INFINITIVES. 121
337. Rule XXV. Place to which is expressed by the Accusative with ad or in. Names of towns omit the preposition.

Ex oppido. From the town. Roma. From Rome. Ab Italia. Fro?n Italy. Corintho. From Corinth.
339. Rule XXVI. Place from which is expressed by the Ablative with ab or ex. Names of towns omit the preposition.
Note. — Names of small islands, domus, Jiome, and rus, coun- try, are used like names of towns, as : Cypri est, He is at Cyprus; Mox domum ^/eniet, He will soon come home; Rus ibo, I shall go into the country.
THESEUS ET AEGEUS.
340. Interea rex Aegeus veneficam Medeam, quae Athenas nuper venerat, in matrimonium diixerat. Ex ea autem niillos liberos habuit. Quam ob rem viginti filii Pallantis, fratris Aegei, regnum sibi occupare constituerunt. His hominibus ea coniiiratio prospere evenit. Nam regem cum Medea in regiam se recipere cogunt, atque ipsT civitatem regunt. Athenis in hoc statii erant res, ubi Theseus in urbem venit. Sine mora iuvenis ad Aegei regiam contendit, atque tandem aditum ad patrem habuit. Sed Aegeus hunc iuvenem, qui Troezene venerat, non agnovit. Quin etiam eum pro hoste habuit, atque consilio uxoris ei vinum dedit, quo Medea venenum miscuerat.

FuT. monit-um iri. rect-um iri. audit-um iri.
In the Passive voice :
a. The Present Infinitive is formed by adding -ri to the Present stem. ]^)ut notice that in the Third Conju- gation -1 (not -ri) is added to the stem minus the final vowel.
h. The Perfect is formed by adding -us, -a, -um esse to the Participial stem.
c. The Future is formed by adding -um iri to the Participial stem.
346. INFINITIVE USED AS A NOUN.
1. Videre est credere. To see is to believe.
2. Pueri nare discunt. Jioys learn to svirim.
Observe that the Infinitive may be used as a noun. Thus in example (1) videre is the subject of est, while credere is a Predicate Nominative. In example (2) nare is the object of discunt.
347. SIMPLE INDIRECT DISCOURSE.
In English, verbs of saying., thinking, knowing, and perceiving are sometimes followed by an Infinitive with its subject in the Accusative, as : We supposed him to be a friend. He found it to be inqyossible.
PASSIVE INFINITIVES. 125
Compare tKe following :
Direct. Urbs incolumis est. 21ie city is safe.
Indikect. Putamus urbem incolumem esse. We think that the city is safe (lit. the city to be safe).
Direct. Hostes discesserunt. The enemy have departed.
Indirect. Cognoverunt hostis discessisse. They ascer- tained that the enemy had departed (lit. the enemy to have departed).
Direct. Veniam. I shall come.
Indirect. Dicit se venturum esse. He says that he will come (lit. himself to be about to come).
a. Observe that where a Direct statement is made to depend upon a verb of saying, thinking, knowing, and 'perceiving, it becomes Indirect, the verb in Latin being put in the Infinitive with its subject in the Accusative.
h. Observe that, in English, the Indirect statement is generally introduced by the conjunction that, and that the verb is in the Indicative Mood.
348. Rule XXVII. Verbs of saying, knowing, think- ing, and perceiving are followed by the Infinitive with its subject in the Accusative.
349. Examine the following :
„_ ., [ venire. ^^ *, ^ ^, C «^^ coming.
Dicit \ _ . He says that the \ ,
-,.,_ < venisse. ,^. < have come.
milites I ,- - soldiers f .„
^ ventures esse. ^ will come.
^_ .^ /'Venire. ^^ .-,,,,,, ( vvere coming.
Dixit S - • He said that the \ , ,
_,,._ < venisse. ,,, {hsLci come.
milites / . - - soldiers i
' ventures esse. ^ "would come.
Observe that the tense changes in the English, when the verb of saying, etc., is in a past tense, while the tense of the Latin Infinitive remains the same.
126 LATIN READER. — LESSON XXX VIL
The tense of the Infinitive depends on the time of the principal verb. If the Infinitive denotes :
a. The same time as the principal verb, it will be in the Present.
b. Time before that of the principal verb, it will be in the Perfect.
c. Time afte?' that of the principal verb, it will be in the Future.
350. DATIVE WITH SPECIAL VERBS.
Servo parcit. He spares the slave.
Legibus non parent. They do not obey the la-ws.
Notice that servo and legibus, apparently the objects of parcit and parent, are in the Dative case, and not in the Accusative, as we should expect them to be.
Of the verbs thus followed by the Dative, the most
common are :
Parco, pareo, placeo, Faveo, noceo, servio, Invideo, nubo, ignosco, Resisto, persuadeo, Maledico, indulgeo.
351. Rule XXVIII. Many verbs meaning to favor, help, please, trust, and their opposites ; also to believe, persuade, command, obey, serve, resist, envy, threaten, pardon, spare, and the like, are followed by the Dative.
352. ABLATIVE OF SPECIFICATION.
Virtute praecedunt. They excel in courage.
Virtute is in the Ablative, and specifies what they excel in. Hence it is called the Ablative of Specifi- cation.
PASSIVE INFINITIVES. 127
353. Rule XXIX. The Ablative of Specification is used to denote that in respect to which anything is or is done.
DAEDALUS.
354. Daedalus, natii Atheniensis, vir summo in- genio, multas iitilTs artis invenit. Sed PerdTx, eius sororis filius, qui a Daedalo docebatur, etiam puer, celeriter praeceptori antecellit. Cui Daedalus invi- det et denique eum ex alta riipe praecipitem demittit. Deinde puerum decidisse niintiat. Cui autem Atlie- nienses non crediderunt. Quam ob rem Daedalus cum filio Icaro ad Mlnoem, regem Cretae, effiigit. El Daedalus dixit se Athenis iniuste expulsum esse ; se autem paratum esse regl multis rebus servire. Nee difficile erat id regi persuadere. Nam dirum monstrum, nomine Minotaurus, niiper in Creta appa- ruerat, cui corpus hominis erat, sed caput tauri.
355. 1. They say that an Athenian, Daedalus by name, envied his sister's son. 2. The boys declared that Perdix had been hurled from a very high cliff.
3. It is very difficult to believe this man in all things.
4. I say that Perdix excels his instructors in genius.

Notice that in the first three examples, there is a noun (in the fourth, a pronoun) in the Ablative, and a participle agreeing with it, and that they define the time or circumstances of the action expressed in the main clause of the sentence. Notice also that they are independent of the rest of the sentence. Hence this construction is called the Ablative Absolute.
Rule XXX. A noun or pronoun, with a participle, may be put in the Ablative to define the time or circurri- stances of an action.
132 LATIN READER. — LESSON XXXVIIL
h. Observe that in the 5th example a noun, and in the 6th an adjective, is used instead of the participle. In both cases, '^ being ^^ is supplied in English.
c. Observe that the literal translation of the Ablative Absolute is apt to be awkward. A smoother translation is obtained by using the Active participle with a direct object, or a clause introduced by a suitable conjunction.
d. In translating English into Latin, do not imagine that all participles will have the Ablative Absolute con- struction. For example, if a participle belongs to the subject of a verb in the Indicative mood, it will, of course, be in the Nominative case, as : Caesar, influenced by their entreaties^ undertook the war. Caesar, eorum precibus adductus, bellum suscepit.
362. usp: of the pkesknt participle.
In Latin, the Present i)articiple can only be used when it denotes the same, time as the principal verb, as : Vidi eum ridentem. I saw him laughing. When, there- fore, the Present participle is used loosely in English to denote time before that of the principal verb, a Perfect participle or a clause must be substituted, as :
Ascertaining these facts, they departed. His rebus cognitis, discesserunt.

D. amando, /or loving, monendo regendo audiendo
Ac. amandum, loving, monendum regendum audiendum
Ab. amando, by loving, monendo regendo audiendo
a. The Gerund is a verbal noun of the Second De- clension ; it lacks the Nominative case, which is sup- plied by the Infinitive. Following are examples of its use.
369.
G. His potestatem discedendi fecit. lie gave these the opportunity of departing.
D. Aqua iitilis est bibendo. Water is useful for drink- ing.
Ac. Naves erant inutiles ad navigandum. The ships were useless for sailing.
Ab. Milites in metendo occupati sunt. The soldiers were occupied in reaping.
a. Observe that the gerund is governed precisely like any other noun. As it has the force of a verb, it mat/ take an object in the proper case. But, as a general rule, instead of the gerund with a direct object the gerundive is used. The gerundive then agrees with its noun, which is put in the case in ivhich the gerund luould have been. The following examples illustrate the use of the gerundive instead of the gerund.

Nunc tandem virgo laeta eum victorem videt, atque ei dicit se omnia paravisse ; custodes carceris somno vinoque sepultos esse ; eius comites ad iiavigandum paratos esse. Statim Theseus cum Ariadne ad litus properat, ubi iam suT comites con- venerant. Sine tumultii omnes navem atris veils conscendunt et nocte tecti per classem Minois eva- dunt. Nunc tandem eis est spes patriae videndae. Postero die Naxon veniunt. Hic ab omni periculo tuti paucos dies manebant. Tum Theseus et comi- tes navem conscendunt et Athenas cursum derigunt. Ariadne autem relicta est, quam ob rem difficile dictii est.

392. The Subjunctive has two principal uses. I. It may be used independently.
II. It may be dependent on another verb.
I. SUBJUNCTIVE IN INDEPENDENT SENTENCES.
393. HORTATORY SUBJUNCTIVE.
1. Boni simus. Let us be good.
2. Ne ignavi simus. Let us not be cowards.
HORTATORY SUBJUNCTIVE, 147
a. Observe that these sentences are exhortations. Hence this is called the Hortatory Subjunctive.
b. The negative is ne, as in example (2).
394. Rule XXXII. The Subjunctive is used to ex- press a mild command or exhortation.
395. SUBJUNCTIVE OF WISH.
1. Sis felix. May you be fortunate.
2. (Utinam) Athenis ess em. O that I were (now) at Athens !
3. (Utinam) ne domi fuissemus. O that we had not been at home !
a. Notice that the wish expressed in example (1) is with regard to the future, and that it may be fulfilled. Hence, it is called a possible wish. It requires the Pres- ent Subjunctive.
b. The wish expressed in example (2) is with regard to present time, but it cannot be fulfilled, as the person is evidently not now at Athens. It is therefore called an impossible wish in the p)resent. Notice that although the time is present, the tense is Imperfect.
c. The wish in example (3) is with reference to past time, and of course cannot be fulfilled. It is called an impossible ivlsh in the past, and requires the Pluperfect Subjunctive.
d. Utinam may be omitted. The negative is ne.
396. Rule XXXIII. The Subjunctive is used to ex- press a wish ; the Present tense is used for a possible wish; the Imperfect for an impossible ivish in the pres- ent; the Pluperfect for an impossible ivlsh in the past.

Midas autem laetus domum abivit. Vix fortiinae credens postis taugit, qui protinus in aurum vertuntur. Deinde regiam percurrit, lectos, mensas, sellas, maniitangens. Brevi omnia sunt aurea. Mox regi magnificas epulas ministiT apponunt. Tum vero quicquid cibT rex ore contingit, id statim in aurum vertitur. Etiam vTnum in aureum flumen vertitur. Midas attonitus opes effugere temptat sed frustra. Sic tandem secum dicit : " Ne tam stultus fuissem ! Et ditissimus et pauperrimus mortalium sum ! Utinam deus ipse adesset! Quo modo sine eius auxilio mortem effu- giam ? "

VERBS OF FEARING. 167
a. Notice that the Future Infinitive is Active in form as well as in meaning.
b. Observe that Dexjonent verbs have all four parti- ciples. These have the same meaning as in any regular verb, except the Perfect participle, which means having, (not having heeii)^ thus:
Pkes. hortruis, exlwrting.
FuT. hortuturus, about to exhort.
Pekf. liortfitus, having exhorted.
G'v'e. hortandus, necessary to he exhorted, or exhorting.
After studying hortor and vereor, inflect in like man- ner miror and mere or.
Note. — Four verbs which are Active in the Present system become Deponents in the Perfect, and are called Semi-deponent.
They are :
audeo, audere, ausus, dare. gaudeo, gaudere, gavisus, rejoice. fido, fidere, fisus, trust. soleo, solere, solitus, be wont.
434. PURPOSE CLAUSES AFTER VERBS OF FEARING.
1. Vereor ut vincat. I fear that he ivill not conquer.
2. Vereor ne vincat. I fear that he will conquer.
Observe that after verbs of fearing ut means that not, while ne means that. In accordance with this rule, example (1) may also be written thus :
Vereor ne non vincat. I fear that he will not conquer.
435. Rule XLI. Verbs of Fearing are followed by the Subjunctive introduced by ut or ne non, meaning that not, or by ng, meaning that.
168 LATIN READER. — LESSON XLV.
436. RESULT CLAUSES WITH QUIN.
1, Non dubito quin veniat. I do not doubt that he will come.
2. Non multum afuit quin interficeretur. Not much was lacking but that he was killed, i.e., he ivas very nearly killed.
Notice that the Kesult clauses introduced by quin are dependent on clauses containing the negative non.
437. Rule XLII. The Subjunctive with quin may be used to express Kesult when the main clause contains or implies a negation.
ARGONAUT AE.
438. Omnibus rebus paiatis, lason et eius socii naveni dcdiicunt. Mox Aigonautae (nam ita appel- lati sunt) portii provehuntur, terraeque urbesque recedunt. Postero die Pelion et Ossam praeterve- huntur. Procul apeiitur Olympi altum caciimen nive candidum. Hinc cursum ad dextram advertunt. Mox Athon relinquunt, et altum mare petunt. lam insula Lemnos apparet. Hie paucos dies morati, ite- rum navem solvunt. Postero die per Hellespontum in Propontida vecti, ad urbem regis CyzicT accedunt. Hic verebantur ut benigne acciperentur. Rex enim, quod cum finitimis gentibus bellum gerebat, omnis alienos ab urbe prohibebat. Ac primo quidem non dubitavit quTn Argonautae hostes essent. Sed tan- dem certior factus quam ob causam venissent, eos non modo in urbem accepit sed etiam donis oneravit.

QUESTIONS.
442. What are Deponent verbs ? In what respect do they differ from regular verbs ? Give all the participles, Latin and English, of polliceor, I promise. How do you translate ut and ne after verbs of Fearing ? When may quin clauses be used ?
LESSON XLVL
Ablative with Deponents ; Accusative of Extent ; Simple Conditions.
443. Study sequor and potior in the preceding lesson ; then write out synopses of utor and molior.
444. ABLATIVE WITH DEPONENTS.
1. Carne et lacte vescuntur. Theij live on flesh and milk,
2. Castris potiti sunt. They got possession of the camp.
Observe that vescuntur and potiti sunt are followed by the Ablative.
ABLATIVE WITH BEPONENTS. 171
445. Rule XLIII. The Deponents utor, fruor, fungor, potior, vescor, and their comjjounds, govern the Ablative case.
446. ACCUSATIVE OF EXTENT.
Fossa quinque pedes alta, A ditch five feet deep.
Notice that quinque pedes is in the Accusative case, and is the extent of the depth. It is therefore called the Accusative of Extent.
447. Rule XLIV. Extent of space is expressed by the Accusative.
448. CONDITIONAL SENTENCES.
INDICATIVE. SIIUPLK PRESENT.

172 LATIN READER.— LESSON XLVL
a. Notice that these sentences contain a condition^ on which a conclusion is based.
h. In the first three sentences, nothing is implied as to the truth or falsltij of the condition ; if the condition is a fact, the conclusion follows as a fact. Hence the Indicative is used. Now compare the last three sen- tences.
c. Example (4) refers to the future, and vaguely sug- gests the possibility of the person's yielding. Example (5) distinctly implies that he is not yielding, and exam- ple (6) that he did not yield. In these sentences there- fore the Subjunctive is used, the Present tense to suggest niere possibility, the Imperfect to imply impossi- bility in the j)'^^sent, the Pluperfect to imply impossibil- ity in the past. (Compare the tenses in the Subjunctive of Wish.)
d. The six Conditions may be grouped according to their names, as follows :
\ Present. Indicative Present.
' ^ Past. Indicative Past.
( More vivid. Indicative Future or Future Future, -' Perfect.
( Lens vivid. Subjunctive Present.
Contrary to Fact,
Present. Subjunctive Imperfect.
Past. Subjunctive Pluperfect.
e. Observe that in 3Io7'e vivid, future conditions the Latin marks the time with far greater precision than the English, using the Future or Future Perfect where we less accurately use the Present.
Note. — In Simple past conditionals, the Imperfect Indicative may be used to denote continued time in the past, as: Si cede-

bat, ignavus erat. If he was yielding, he was a coward. So also the Perfect Subjunctive is occasionally used in the condi- tion of Less vivid future sentences, as: Si cesserit, ignavus sit. If he should have yielded, he would be a coward.
449. Rule XLV. Simple and More vivid future con- ditions take the Indicative ; Less vivid future conditions take the Present Suhjitnctive ; Contrary to fact condi- tions take the Imperfect Suhjunctive when they refer to present time, and the Pluperfect Suhjunctive when they refer to past time.

Note. — The difficulty of translating some tenses of the Pas- sive Periphrastic conjugation arises from the fact that the Eng- lish verb ought is defective. The student can always obtain the .sense by using the meaning necessary to be, — as: Hoc nego- tijim suscipiendum fuit, (lit., this task was necessary to be undertaken)., This task had to be undertaken.
464. DATIVE OF AGENT.
1. Hoc mihi faciendum est. This must be done by me.
2. Caesari omnia erant agenda. Everything had to be done by Caesar.
Observe that the Dative is used to denote the person on whom the necessity rests.
465. Rule XL VI. The Dative is used with the Pas- sive Periphrastic conjugation to denote the person by whom the action is to be done.
466. OBJECTIVE GENITIVE.
1. Amor patriae. Love of country.
2. Spes salutis. Hope of safety.
Observe that the Genitives patriae and salutis are objects of the feeling expressed by amor and spes respect- ively. Hence the name Objective Genitive.
182 LATIN READER. — LESSON XLVIII.
467. Rule XLVII. Nouns of action and feeling are followed by the Objective Genitive.

an action is done, he uses the Indicative. If, however, he wishes to suggest further that one action depends on another, he uses the Subjunctive. Thus, in the first example above in the right hand column, the writer not only states that he heard Zeno ivhen he was at Athens, but, by using the Subjunctive, he further suggests that his hearing Zeno depended on his being at Athens.
h. Since, however, in narrating past events, it is nat- ural for a person to think of the dependence of one action on another, the Subjunctive is generally used in the Im- perfect and Pluperfect tenses, as seen in the examples above.

SUBJUNCTIVE WITH DUM, DONEC, AND QUOAD. |
INDICATIVE.
Dum haec geruntur, re- liqui discesserunt. While these things were going on,
the rest departed.
SUBJUNCTIVE.
Rusticus exspectat, dum defluat amnis. The coun- tryman is waiting (lit. until the river shall flow by) for the river tofloio by.
a. Notice that when dum means ivhile, and simply marks the fact that one action happens during another, the Indicative is used. The Present tense is preferred.
h. Observe, however, that when dum means imtil, and implies purpose, doubt, or futurity, it takes the Subjunc- tive.
Note. — Donee and quoad are used, though less frequently, in the same way.
J Four verbs drop final -e in the imperative; viz., dico, duco, facio, and lero.
BUM, DONEC, AND QUOAD. 191
485. Rule L. Dum, donee, and quoad, implying pur- pose, doubt, or futurity, take the Subjunctive, otherwise the Indicative.

territory of the Suessiones.
a. Notice that the Indicative is used with priusquam to denote simply that one action happened before an- other. (Priusquam may be separated by intervening words as in the example illustrating the use of the Indicative.)
b. Notice that the Subjunctive is used with prius- quam, when any further relation exists. Thus in the example above there is an idea of possibility, as well as of priority of time.
487. Rule LI. With antequam and priusquam the Indicative is used to express mere priority of time, the Subjunctive to express smy further relation.

Tum Medea, cum lasonT explicuisset quo modo unguento iiteretur, et quid deinde faciendum esset, ad regiam rediit.

196 LATIN READER. — LESSON LL
494. INDIRECT DISCOURSE.
The student will recall the general nile that verbs of saying, thinking, knowing, and 'perceiving are followed by the Infinitive with a subject-accusative. Examine the following examples:
a. SUBORDINATE CLAUSES.
Germani, qui trans Rhenum incolunt, inter se obsidea dant. The Germans, who dwell across the Rhine, are exchan- ging hostages.
INDIRECT.
Dlcit Germanos, qui trans Dixit Germanos, qui trans
Rhenum incolant, inter Rhenum incolerent, in-
se obsides dare. 7/esays ter se obsides dare. He
that the Germans, who dwell said that the Germans, who
across the Rhine, are ex- dwelt across the Rhine,
changing hostages. were exchanging hostages.
Observe that, in the Subordinate clause introduced by qui, the verb — which is in the Indicative mood in the Direct Discourse — becomes Subjunctive in the Indirect. Notice also that the rule for Sequence of Tenses holds good in Indirect Discourse.
h. COMMANDS.
DIRECT.
Veni ad me, si potes. Come to me, if you can.
INDIRECT.
Respondet veniat ad se, Respondit veniret ad se,
si possit. He replies that si posset. He replied that
he may come to him, if he he might come to him, if
can. he could.
IRREGULAR VERBS VOLO, NOLO, MALO. 197
Observe that the Imperative in the Direct Discourse is changed to the Subjunctive in the Indirect.
Mild commands with the Hortatory Subjunctive in Direct Discourse retain the Subjunctive in the Indirect, thus :
DIRECT.
Redeat ad me, cum volet. Let him return to me, when
he pleases.
INDIRECT.
Respondet redeat ad se, Respondit rediret ad se,
c-amvelit. He replies that cum vellet. He replied
he may return to him, when that he might return to him,
he pleases. when he pleased.
Notice that the First and Second persons in the Direct Discourse are usually changed to the Third person in the Indirect.
c. QUESTIONS.
DIRECT.
Quid tibi vis ? What do you mean ?
INDIRECT.
Respondet: Quid sibi ve- Respondit: Quid sibi vel- lit? He replies: What let? He replied: What
does he mean ? did he mean ?
Observe that a real question is put in the Subjunctive in Indirect Discourse. On the contrary, rhetorical ques- tions (which are merely asked for effect, and imply their own answer) are generally put in the Infinitive in Indirect Discourse, thus :
DIRECT. INDIRECT.
Quid est turpius ? What is Quid esse turpius ? What baser? was baser?
198 LATIX READER.— LESSON LI.
A rhetorical question suggesting a doubt, and therefore taking the Subjunc. in Direct Discourse, retains the Subjunc. in the Indirect, as:
DIRIX'T. INDIKECT.
Quid agam? What am I to Respondit: quid ageret? He do? replied: IFAa^ washetodo?
495. Rule LII. In Tiulirect Discourse, tlie Subjunctive is used in subordinate clauses, in commands, and in real questions; but rhetorical questions legularly take the Infin- itive
MEDEAE FUGA.
496. lason, omnibus laboribus confectTs, cum sociis ad iiavem rediit. Rex autem, cum lasonem nego- tiuni coiifecisse audivisset, primum obstupuit, deinde in suain iliiani saevTrc cocpit. ScTvit enim Medeam unam esse quae lasoiii auxilium ferre potuisset. Cum tamen iam uox esset, statuit diem sibi exspec- taiidum esse. Dixit auteiu se prima liice in perfidam filiam animadversiiiuin esse, quae suum patrem ali- enis prodere voluisset.
Medea, his minis audilis, vehementer coinmota est. Scivit enim i\eetam liominem esse barbarum et ira- cundum. Quid faceret? Non dubium esse quin, si in regia maneret, sua vita magno in peiiculo esset. Praeterea nisi lason de consiliis regis certior facere- tur, ilium cum omnibus sociTs peritiirum esse.
Talia in animo volvens, diii incerta erat. Tandem fugere decrevit. Iterum e regia elapsa ad ripam fliiminis pervenit. Hic lasonem invenit. Ille enim eius adventum exspectabat. Tum Medea docuit iinam esse spem saliitis si f ugam experirentur ; regem pri- ma liice cum omnibus co})iis ventiirum esse ; sine mora in navem conscenderent et fugerent.
INDIRECT DISCOURSE. 199
Note. — Before translating the following sentences into Latin, change the English into the Latin form. Thus the first sentence will read: Medea knew Jason her arrival to be about to await.
m
497. 1. Medea knew that Jason would await her arrival. 2. The king said that they might remain in the palace if they wished. 3. Jason knew that the king would be very angry, when he heard this. 4.

LATIN. 29
Oradatim
An Easy Latin Translation Book for Beginners. By H. R. Heatley, and H, N. Kingdon. Revised by J. W. Sc udder, Latin Master in the Albany Academy. i6mo, cloth, 228 pages. Price, 50 cents.
GRADATIM offers an excellent selection of easy reading- matter which may be used to arouse and stimulate the interest of the pupil in his early study of Latin. It may be used either for lessons to be regularly prepared by classes just begin- ning the subject, or for sight-reading by more advanced stu- dents. The abundance of material offered will allow the teacher to select such stories as will best serve his particular purpose. The special excellence of Gradatim lies in the intrinsic interest of the stories. In this respect it is equalled by no similar book that has been ever issued.
Twenty- five pages of Latin stories, which illustrate the use of the Accusative with the Infinitive, the Subjunctive of Indirect Question, and the Ablative Absolute, have been added to the original work. This is the only edition of the work in which these three subjects are especially treated.
In the first third of the book, all long vowels have been marked ; elsewhere they are marked only in words whi^h are likely to be mispronounced, or which occur for the first time.
The Vocabulary has been entirely rewritten, and its scope much enlarged.
Ray Greene Huling, Principal of the English High School, Cambridge, Mass. : In its original English form it was a delightful primer, and has relieved the drudgery of elementary work in Latin in many schools. The changes introduced by this editor are genuine additions, making the work a much better supplementary book for early translation than before.
H. S. Cowell, Gushing Academy, Ashburnham, Mass.: I regard it as a very valuable book for supplementary work for first-year Latin students.
Professor John H. Grove, Ohio Wesleyan University: It is certainly an admirable book to put into the hands of beginners in Latin as a com- panion to the Latin Grammar. In both matter and general appearance the work will commend itself to instructors.
B. L. D'Ooge, Normal School, Ypsilanti, Mich. : It is in my judgment by far the best collection of easy Latin Selections available.
22 LATIN.
Selections from Viri Rom^
With Notes, Exercises, and a Vocabulary by Professor John C. Rolfe, University of Michigan. i6mo, cloth, 301 pages. Price, 75 cents.
URBIS ROM^ VIRI ILLUSTRES is a compilation from Cicero, Livy, Valerius Maximus, and other Roman writers. It is admirably adapted to help the pupil over the difficult tran- sition from the introductory Latin book to Ccesar or Nepos.
The advantage in its use lies in the fact that it is full of vjiri- ety and interest, and that it gives the pupil a sketch of Roman history from Romulus to Augustus in an attractive form, to- gether with many allusions to the customs of Roman life.
In the present edition the quantities of all the long voweis, including " hidden quantities," are marked ; exercises for trans- lation of English into Latin, based on the );ext, are given.
Thirty-nine pages of the book have been prepared for reading at sight. The other selections are annotated with grammatical and explanatory notes.
Isaac B. Burgess, T/ie Aforgaji Park Academy, Uftivcrsity of Chicago: After considerable class-room use, I take pleasure in commending the edi- tion of Viri Romae by Professor John C. Rolfe. The notes and vocabulary show care and accuracy. The marking of all long vowels is very valuable in elementary work. The hints for translation into Latin admirably cover a good deal of ground in a little space, and the exercises for translation from English into Latin save a teacher much work,
L. C. Hull, Lawrcnceville School, New Jersey: Rolfe's edition of Viri Romae is an excellent book ; attractive, scholarly, and able to stand the ttst of class-room use. I have been compelled to let the management of the class that is using the book pass into the hands of another teacher ; so Hiat I have missed most of the pleasure that has come from its adoption here. But I can vouch for its excellence.
George H. Browne, Cambridge, Mass. : Every time I have looked over Rolfe's Viri Romse I have admired the aim and method of its editor more and more, and cannot comjnend too highly the success he seems to me to have attained. After using, I expect to make the same report.
Professor J. H. Dillard; Tulane University, New Orleans, La. : It gives in excellent form, with judicious notes .and timely suggestions, correct mate- rial for easy work in reading Latin. I should like to commend also the careful marking of the long vowels.

Ancient Greece
From the earliest times down to 146 B.C. By Roiiert F. Pennell, Principal of State Normal School, Chico, Cal. Revised Edition, with Plans and Colored Maps. i6mo, cloth, 193 pages. Price, 60 cents.
Ancient Rome
From, the earliest times down to 476 a.d. By Robert F. Pennell. Revised Edition, with Plans and Colored Maps, i6mo, cloth, 284 pages. Price, 60 cents.
IN these books the leading facts are presented in a concise and readable form. Minor details and unimportant names are omitted. The maps and plans have been drawn and engraved especially for the books, and contain all the data, and only the data, necessary for following the story.
The Index serves also as a key to the pronunciation of proper names. Examination papers used at Harvard, Yale, and by the Regents of the University of New York, are added in an appendix.
Most teachers prefer a brief manual for a text-book in the hands of the pupils. It is easy to assign outside reading for special subjects in which it may be desired to spend extra time ; and the teacher can use his own judgment in selecting the topics to fit the pupils and the time at his disposal. PennelPs histories contain enough matter, if carefully studied, to enable a student to pass the entrance examinations at any American college or university.
W. McD. Halsey, Collegiate School, 34 West Fortieth Street, New York City : PennelPs Greece and Rome are well adapted to their purpose. Having used the Greece last year, I will now add the Rome to the list of my text-books. The clear statements of the author, and the fine typographical work, commend the books at sight ; and the enthusiasm of both teachers and pupils shows that Mr. Pennell has made books suited to our need.
H. B. Knox, Friends^ School, Providence, R.I.: You are doing us all a ser- vice by putting the history of these nations into such an ideal form.
Burr Lewis, Lincoln, Neb.: The additions only make a more excellent compound of Roman History fnr use in the class-room. It was excellent before.
24 LATIN.
The Lives of Cornelius Nepos
With Notes, Exercises, and Vocabulary by Professor John C. Rolfe, University of Michigan. i2mo, cloth, 387 pages. Price, gi.io.
IN general the same plan is followed as in the Selections from Viri Romae.
In the text, as well as elsewhere througliout the book, the quantity of all the long vowels is marked, including " hidden quantities."
The notes are designed to enable the pupil to understand the writer's meaning, and to get a clear idea of the events and per- sonages referred to. Instruction in syntax is given mainly by the Exercises for Translation into Latin. These exercises have been prepared both for oral and for written work, and are based on the text.
The book is provided with a full vocabulary, in which special attention is given to the definition of proper names, and with maps, including all the places mentioned by Nepos.
Charles C. Ramsay, Prind/>a/ of High School, Fall River, Mass.: It would be difficult to say too much in praise of Professor Rolfe's " The Lives of Cornelius Nepos." The Introduction, Notes, and Vocabulary are unusu- ally well done, and will render the study of the lives interesting and de- lightful. The publishers, moreover, deserve a share of the praise for the very attractive form in which the book is issued. The typography is clear, and the paper is good.
Walter A. Edwards, Principal of High School, Rockford, III. : I am de' lighted with your Rolfe's edition of Nepos, both as to its typographical appearance and as to the educational value of the work. Taking it al- together it is a most attractive text-book. I am not clear in my mind whether we are ready to drop Caesar yet and turn to some such work as this, which would certainly have the advantage of greater interest, and per- haps a greater practical value. There are some points of value which we should be sorry to lose . . . but I am open to conviction, and Professor Rolfe's book goes a long way toward convincing me.
Professor Leon J. Richardson, University of California: As a Latin department we are encouraging the reading of Nepos in the California High Schools. For this purpose your book commends itself very highly.
Professor F. G. Axtell, Chaffey College, Ontario, Calif : The Nepos is the best edition I have seen.
18 LATIN.
Cassar's Gallic War
Edited, with Introduction. Notes, Vocabulary, Table of Idioms, and twenty full-page Illustrations, by Professor Francis W. Kelsey, Uni- versity of Michigan. 1 2 mo, half leather, 506 pages. Price, ^1.25.
THROUGHOUT the book every effort has been made, by way of illustration and comment, to render the study of Caesar attractive and useful, a means of culture as well as of dis- cipline. That the result has been to produce the best-equipped edition of the Gallic War is generally conceded.
The Introduction, besides giving a full review of Caesar's life and character, furnishes also a concise and logical account of the Roman art of war in Caesar's time. The Illustrations con- sist of six full-page colored plates, of a double-page map of Gaul, and of fourteen full-page maps and plans.
The text is clear, accurate, and uniform in its orthography, and is conveniently divided by brief English summaries.
The Notes are apt and sensible, with full references to the Grammars of Bennett, Allen and Greenough, and Harkness.
The Table of Idioms and Phrases, found in no other edition, will enable a teacher to drill his class on those constructions which are most perplexing to beginners.
The Vocabulary, like the Notes, is intended to give the pupil only such help as he needs, and such knowledge as he can digest.
Charles S. Chapin, Principal High School, Fitchburg, Mass. : I consider Kelsey's Caesar, both for teacher and pupil, the most admirable edition in the field, combining in one volume text, notes, dictionary of antiquities, maps, and all the instruments for successful study of the Commentaries.
0. D. Robinson, Principal High School, Albany, N.Y.: As a text-book it seems to me if not absolutely perfect, to approach as near perfection as any book I have ever examined. The Introduction and colored plates are invaluable as aids to a clear understanding of the text, and are su- perior to anything of the kind elsewhere. The maps, notes, vocabulary, and table of idioms, are unsurpassed in any text-book of Caesar now in use.
Richard M. Jones, Head Master, Wm. Penn Charter School, Philadel- phia : Kelsey's Caesar is, in my judgment, the nearest approach yet made in this country to what a school edition of an ancient classic should be.
20 LATIN.
Selections from Ovid
With an Introduction, Notes, and Vocabulary by Professor Francis W. Kelsey. Illustrated. i2mo, half leather, 447 pages. Price, ^1.25.
AS in the editions of Caesar and Cicero by tlie same editor, no pains have been spared to make the book pleasing to the eye and useful to the student. The selections, with a few exceptions, are short and complete in themselves. A consider- able number of them will be found suitable for sight-reading.
The Introduction contains a sketch of the life and works of Ovid, with a short essay on Ovid as a poet, together with an outline of Greek and Roman Mythology.
The Notes are elementary, but at the same time they aim to suggest a poetic interpretation of the author,
William C. Collar, Headmaster, Roxbury Latin School, Mass. : I am glad to see an edition containing so good and so varied a collection from Ovid's ■writings. The book seems to me to be a very conscientious piece of work, and I am particularly pleased with the frequent and happy quotations, in the notes, of passages from English poets.
Walter A. Edwards, Principal, High School, Rockford, III. : I am delighted with it. The editor has made an excellent school-book, without thrusting into the background the literary charm of the text he is annotating. The abundant quotations from the English poets must materially help toward a right appreciation and enjoyment of Ovid's poetry.
L. C. Hull, Lawrenceville School, N J.: Professor Kelsey has again shown how admirably he can meet the wants of good teachers. But his edition of Ovid does more than this. It must quicken the poetic sense cf even the most prosaic teachers. I cannot help feeling that many a pupil will thank Professor Kelsey for having shown how the same themes that in- spired Ovid still live in our own English classics. We have had given to us a manual of mythology, a scholarly edition of a Latin classic, and an abundance of poetic inspiration, all at once. Ovid did not write to ex- hibit the grammatical usages of his day, or to help make philologists ; and Professor Kelsey has not made the mistake of supposing that his verses are best used when they are made to serve such purposes.
Professor George H. White, Oberlin College: The notes are made attrac- tive, and their meaning more clear, by many quotations from a wide range of English poets. In this latter respect it is superior to every other school edition of the ancient classics. I commend the book without reserve.
LATIN. 19
Selected Orations and Letters of Cicero
With Introduction, Notes, and Vocabulary by Professor Francis W. Kelsey. i2mo, half leather, 518 pages. Illustrated. Price, $1.25.
THE Orations given in this edition are the four against Cati- line, those for the Manilian Law, Archias, Marcellus, and the fourth oration against Antony. These are edited with a view to showing their value as examples of oratory, rather than as offering mere material for grammatical drill. The student's attention is directed to the occasion and circumstances of their delivery, as well as to the motive and method of presenting the matter contained in them. Modes of legal procedure, the Con- stitution and form of government m Cicero's time, and the whole environment of the orator, are brought into clear view, and made a reality to the student.
The Letters are selected with reference to the light they shed on Cicero as a man rather than as a politician. They afford pleasant glimpses of his private life, and help to make real the pupil's conception of the times in which he lived. As material for short exercises for sight translation or rapid reading they will be found of special value.
A Table of Idioms and Phrases presents in form convenient for use, constructions that deserve special attention.
Lincoln Owen, Principal of the Rice Training-School, Boston: Kelsey's Cicero is a model in the art of text-book making. It cannot fail to be a success for editor, publisher, and user. I count the teachers and the pupils of the present generation fortunate in having such admirable " instruments of education " as Professor Kelsey is preparing for us.
Professor J. W. Steams, University of Wisconsin : Kelsey's Cicero com- mends itself more than any words of mine can commend it. It is a teach- er's book, up to modern times, both in text and annotations, and admirably printed.
miss Ellen F. Snow, ^^igh School, Keene, N.H. : I have now used it in my classes for five weeks in connection with ... in the hands of a part of the class. Kelsey has the preference every time. It gives a body to the ideas, and tells the scholars things that they want to know in a way suited to them. I have been waiting long enough to test it, and I like it better every week.
14 LATIN.
A Latin Grammar
By Professor Charles E. Bennett, Cornell University. i2mo, cloth, 265 pages. Price, 80 cents.
IN this book the essential facts of Latin Grammar are pre- sented within the smallest compass consistent with high scholarly standards. It covers not only the work of the pre- paratory school, but also that of the required courses in college and university. By omitting rare forms and syntactical usages found only in ante-classical and port-classical Latin, and by relegating to an Appendix theoretical and historical questions, it has been found possible to treat the subject with entire ade- quacy in the compass of 250 pages exclusive of Indexes. In the German schools, books of this scope fully meet the exacting demands of the entire gymnasial course, and those who have tried ^Bennett's Grammar find that they are materially helped by being relieved of the mass of useless and irrelevant matter which forms the bulk of the older grammars.
Professor William A. Houghton, Bowdoht College, Brunswick, Maine: The Grammar proper is admirably adapted to its purpose in its clearness of arrangement and classification, and in its simplicity and precision of statement, giving definitely just what the pupil must know, and not crowd- ing the page with a mass of matter that too often disheartens the young student instead of helping him. I trust it will come into general use, for I think for the reasons just given, and because of its moderate compass and attractive appearance, students are likely to get more practical gram- matical knowledge out of it than they generally do from the larger grammars.
Professor Alfred M. Wilson, University of Nebraska, Lincoln: I have examined it very carefully, and I can say, truly and with pleasure, that my first impressions have become positive convictions as to the very great value and utility of the book. I am daily using it with increasing delight and satisfaction. It is clear, concise, and independent.
The Critic, Feb. 29, 1896. The book is a marvel of condensed, yet clear and forcible, statement. Just enough examples are given to illustrate each principle without discouraging the pupil by their number and variety. The ground covered in the treatment of forms and syntax is adequate for ordinary school work and for the use of freshmen and sophomores in college.
