In the Latin exercises the purpose has been to make short sentences that are intelligible in themselves, and not dependent upon the context of an author. Many sentences have been adapted, however, from the reading matter for the second year. For variety many interrogative sentences are used in the exercises; to these, so far as possible, answers should be given in Latin, as an excellent drill in forms. The constant aim has been to fix firmly

The

Latini inhabited

Latium (la/shi-um), a district of central and became the founders of Rome, their capital city.

Beginning in 753 B.C. (the traditional date), Rome extended her dominion over all Italy, and finally over all the territory surrounding the Mediterranean, which comprised the civilized world of that time.

Latin was the chief language of this vast empire. During the twelve centuries of Roman history (753 B.c-476 a.d.)

THE SECOND DECLENSION: MASCULINE NOUNS

Gender. Latin, like English, has the masculine, femiEnglish words are masculine or nine, and neuter genders. feminine according as they signify male or female beings. So in Latin nauta is masculine and filia feminine. This is called natural gender. But in Latin many words are mascufeminine which are neuter in English. Thus, for example, aqua, via, and tuba are feminine. The gender of such words is said to be grammatical and is determined by
line or

the form or ending of the noun, without regard to its meaning. This idea is not so strange as it may seem, if we recall that

principal or independent,

complex; for they have two clauses each, a and a subordinate or dependent.

a. The clauses of a complex sentence are connected by a relative pronoun, or a subordinate conjunction. clause beginning with a relative pronoun is called a relative clause.

Meaning and Use

of the

Subjunctive.

The sub-

junctive in Latin has many uses, some of which are expressed in English by the subjunctive, but most by the indicative
or the potential.

The Latin present subjunctive

is

rendered

not only by may, as in the models (408), but by should,


would, or by the indicative present or future, according to the nature of the clause in which the subjunctive stands.
411.

Clauses Expressing Purpose.

express purpose, but a subjunctive clause with the conjunction ut, that, in order that: Venit ut videat, he comes to see
(or that he

The present subjunctive is used when the main verb present, present perfect, future, or future perfect: Venio (veni, veniam, venero) ut videam, / come {have come, shall come, shall have come) to see {that I may see). b. Instead of ut, the relative pronoun qui may be used as the connective, if there is a convenient antecedent: Viros mittit, qui videant, he is sending men to see {who shall see).

present subjunctive, then, is used in a purpose clause when it depends on a main verb of present 1 or future action;

an imperfect subjunctive is used when it depends on a main verb of past action. 429. Primary and Secondary Tenses. The tenses of present and future action are called primary tenses. They include the present, present perfect, future, and future perfect indicative, the present and perfect subjunctive.
tenses of past action are called secondary tenses. They include the imperfect, historical perfect, and pluperfect indicative, the imperfect and pluperfect subjunctive.

ADVERBS: THEIR FORMATION AND COMPARISON
487. Formation of Adverbs.

Adverbs are derived

chiefly

from adjectives.
a. Some adverbs are formed from adjectives of the first and second declension by adding -e to the base: latus, wide,

late, widely.
b.

declension

Some adverbs are formed from by adding -ter (-iter) to

adjectives of the third the base: audax, bold,

audacter, boldly; fortis, brave, fortiter, bravely. c. Some adverbs are case forms of adjectives or nouns, as the neuter accusative: facile, easily, multum, much; the
ablative: primo, at
first,

una,

together.

488.

Comparison

of Adverbs.

Adverbs are regularly com-

be defined as a phrase consisting of a noun or pronoun in the ablative, and a noun, an


ablative absolute

The

may

adjective, or a participle in agreement.


a.

The absolute phrase may be rendered

best

by a clause

expressing time {when, while, after), cause {since, because), concession {though, although), condition {if), as shown in the model sentences. The ablative absolute, in other words, is often a substitute for a subordinate clause.

Rule. A noun or pronoun in the ablative, with a noun, an adjective, or a participle in agreement, may be used
565.
to

express time, cause, condition, or other relation. 566. Observe also the following:
1.

Having said these things, the chief went away, his rebus dictis, princeps discessit.
Having spoken
thus, the chief

2.

went away,

ita locutus,

princeps discessit.
a. The tense of the participle in an ablative absolute is either present or perfect. Since the Latin verb lacks the perfect active participle, an active phrase, such as having said these things, must be changed in translation to the passive

form, these things having been said.


perfect participle of deponent verbs, as locutus in 2, being active in meaning, is an exception to this rule, and takes the same construction as the participle in the English sentence.

4.

The town having been fortified was easily defended, oppidum munitum facile defensum est.
c.

Compare sentences 3 and 4, and notice that the noun participle (oppidum munitum) are not in the absolute construction in the last sentence, because the noun is also the subject of the main verb (defensum est).

THE WAR WITH THE HELVETII


Gaius Julius Caesar, the Roman statesman, general, and writer, was born about ioo B.C. After an education in Rome and Greece and a short career in the army, he held the important political offices of the Roman republic, the last of which was the consulship for 59 B.C. At the close of this year he became governor of Gaul, a large territory now including France, Belgium, Switzerland, and northern Italy. During the following eight years (58-51) he subdued the tribes of western Gaul, and also invaded Germany and Britain. The history of his conquest was written by Caesar himself " in his Commentaries on the Gallic Wars." The first war was fought with the Heivetii, or ancient Swiss, who in the early part of 58 B.C., with men, women, and children, had left their country to conquer the rest of Gaul. The Latin text following is Caesar's account simplified, and repeats in a
connected way the paragraphs for reading as given in the preceding lessons.

PERSEUS
Acrisius, king of Argos, having been warned by the oracle that he slain by his grandson, placed his daughter Danae and her infant son Perseus in an ark, which the waves of the sea carried to the island Seriphos. Here they were rescued and taken to Polydectes,

would be

king of the island, in w hose court Perseus grew to manhood. The king, who sought in vain to win the love of Danae, shut her up in prison, saying that she should not be released until Perseus brought to him the head of the Gorgon Medusa. This difficult task he accomplished, as the story relates, and on his return home saved the beautiful Andromeda from a sea-monster. When Perseus afterwards reached the city of his grandfather Acrisius, the latter fled in terror, but was unable to avert the fulfillment of fate, for at the games held in Thessaly he was accidentally struck by a discus thrown by Perseus.
