KEY TO LATIN EXERCISES: CONSISTING OF EXTRACTS FROM THE WRITINGS OF CESAR, CICERO, AND LIVY; WITH REFERENCES TO THE ORIGINAL AUTHORS. BY W. W. BRADLEY, M. A. DEMY OF MAGDALEN COLLEGE, OXFORD. LONDON: LONGMAN, BROWN, GREEN, AND LONGMANS. 1855. 305. c. 14. PREFACE. THE examples in the following pages have been compiled from Cæsar (Tauchnitz' edition, Leipzig, 1844). Cicero (Nobbe's edition, Leipzig, 1827), and Livy (Tauchnitz' edition, Leipzig, 1848). To facilitate reference to the original works, each chapter of Cæsar and Livy is supposed to be divided into three equal parts, designated respectively by the letters a, b, and c. Two letters conjoined, as ab, show that the example in question begins in one and ends in another of these parts. The same plan of imaginary division is also applied to letters or sections of letters in Cicero's writings. many In the examples below the line throughout Part I., the pupil should be required to append references to the Rules by which the use of the conjunctive mood is regulated.1 In most cases his reference, to be correct, must agree with that given in this Key: but instances occur, where the conjunctive may be explained by either of two Rules: e. g., by R. 159. B, or R. 175; by R. 166, or R. 169. b. In many detached sentences either the imperfect or perfect may be correctly used.2 In such cases the tense given is generally that found in the original. See the author's Latin Exercises, Instruction 7, page 7. It may not be superfluous here to request of those engaged in tuition, that they will read the preface of that work before putting the book into the hands of their pupils. The Exercises will lose much of their value, if not done in the order and manner there recommended. |
