Exercises In Latin Prose Composition (1905)

By Francis Ritchie

Book Overview

Exercises In Latin Prose Composition is a comprehensive guidebook for students of Latin who wish to improve their skills in writing Latin prose. The book was written by Francis Ritchie and was first published in 1905. The book is divided into two parts. The first part provides a detailed overview of the principles of Latin grammar and syntax, including the declensions of nouns, adjectives, and pronouns, the conjugations of verbs, and the rules for constructing sentences. The second part of the book consists of a series of exercises designed to help students practice their skills in Latin prose composition. Each exercise includes a Latin passage for translation, followed by a series of questions that require the student to analyze the grammar and syntax of the passage and to construct new sentences based on the material presented. The exercises cover a wide range of topics, including history, mythology, and literature, and gradually increase in difficulty as the student progresses through the book. Overall, Exercises In Latin Prose Composition is an excellent resource for students of Latin who are looking to improve their writing skills and gain a deeper understanding of the language. The book is well-organized, easy to follow, and provides ample opportunities for practice and reinforcement of key concepts.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
