commonest words

More

than ninety-five per cent of those chosen are Caesarian, and of these

more than ninety per cent are used in Csesar five or more times.. The few words not Caesarian are of such frequent occurrence in Cicero, Vergil, and other authors as to justify their appearance here. But teachers desiring to confine word study to Caesar can easily do so, as the Caesarian words are printed in the vocabularies in distinctive
type.

The

general vocabulary contains

about twelve hundred words, and of these above eighty-five per cent
are found in Caesar.

The syntax has been

limited to those essentials

which recent

investi-

gations, such as those of Dr.

Lee Byrne and his collaborators, have shown to belong properly to the work of the first year. The constructions are presented, as far as possible, from the standpomt of English, the English usage being given first and the Latin compared or contrasted with
it.

Special attention has been given to the constructions

of participles, the gerund

and gerundive, and the

infinitive in indirect

statements.

Constructions having a logical connection are not sepa-

rated but are treated together.

Exercises for translation occur throughout, those for translation


into Latin being, as a rule, only half as long as those for transla-

tion into English.

In Part III a few of the commoner idioms in

Cassar are introduced and the sentences are drawn mainly from that
author.

The Romans and the Greeks. In their career of conquest the Romans came into conflict with the Greeks. The Greeks were inferior to the Romans in military power, but far superior to them in

Finally, it has been abundantly proved that there is no more effective means of strengthening the mind than by the earnest pursuit of this

branch of learning.

Review Questions. Whence does Latin get its name ? Where is Latium ? is Rome ? Was Latin always the same What sort of Latin are we to study ? Describe the growth of Rome's power and the spread of Latin. What can you say of the origin of Italian, French, and Spanish ? How did the ancient Greeks and Romans compare How did Greece influence Rome? How did Rome influence the world? In what sense are we Romans still?

The parts you have had before are given for review, and the perfect participle is the only new form for you to learn. Sometimes one or more of the principal parts are lacking, which means that the verb has no forms based on that stem. A few verbs lack the perfect passive participle but have the future active participle in -urus, which appears in the principal parts instead.

CONSTRUCTIONS
INTRODUCTORY NOTE
this book has been concerned chiefly with forms and There remain still to be learned the forms of the Subjunctive Mood, the Participles, and the Gerund of the regular verb, and the conjugation of the commoner irregular verbs. These will be taken up in connection with the study of constructions, which will be the chief subject of our future work.

The preceding part of

vocabulary.

The special vocabularies of the preceding lessons contain, exclusive of proper names, about six hundred words. As these are among the commonest words in the language, they must be mastered. They properly form the basis of the study of words, and will be reviewed and used with but few additions in the remaining lessons. For practice in reading and to illustrate the constructions presented, a continued story has been prepared and may be begun at this point (see p. 204). It has been divided into chapters of convenient length to accompany progress through the lessons, but may be read with equal profit after the lessons are finished. The story gives an account of the life and adventures of Publius Cornelius Lentulus, a Roman boy, who fought in Cassar's campaigns and shared in his triumph. The colored plates illustrating the story are faithful representations of ancient life and are deserving of careful study.

The

three great distinctions of time are present, past, and future.

All tenses referring to present or future time are called primary tenses, and

those referring to past time are called secondary tenses.

Now

it is

a very

common

law of language that in a complex sentence the tense in the de-

pendent clause should be of the same kind as the tense in the principal clause. In the sentence He says that he is coming, the principal verb, says, is present, that is, is in a primary tense and is coming, in the dependent in other clause, is naturally also primary. If I change he says to he said, I feel it words, if I make the principal verb secondary in character, natural to change the verb in the dependent clause also, and I say, He said that he was coming. This following of a tense by another of the same kind is called tense sequence, from sequi, " to follow."

THE LABORS OF HERCULES


Hercules, a Greek hero celebrated for his great strength, was pursued throughout his life by the hatred of Juno. While yet an' infant he strangled some serpents sent by the goddess to destroy him. During his boyhood and youth he performed various marvelous feats of strength, and on reaching man-

hood he succeeded in delivering the Thebans from the oppression of the Minyae. In a fit of madness, sent upon him by Juno, he slew his own children; and, on consulting the Delphic oracle
as to

he was ordered

mit himself for twelve years to Eurystheus, king of Tiryns, and to perform

whatever tasks were appointed him. Hercules obeyed the oracle, and during
the twelve years of his servitude accomplished twelve extraordinary feats
as the Labors of Hercules. His death was caused, unintentionally, by his wife Deiani'ra. Hercules had shot with his poisoned arrows a centaur named Nessus, who had insulted Deianira. Nessus, before he died, gave some of his blood to Deianira, and told her HERCULES ET SEKPENTES it would act as a charm to secure her husband's love. Some time after, Deianira, wishing to try the charni, soaked one of her husband's garments in the blood, not knowing that it was poisoned. Hercules put on the robe, and, after suffering terrible torments, died, or was
