About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos, missing text or index. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. 1876. Not illustrated. Excerpt: ... COMPOSITION. PART FIRST. --CONSTRUCTIONS. Lesson i. The Order of Words. Read carefully the whole of 76. Learn subsection 1, with c, d; and 2. Note. -- Though the order of words in a Latin sentence seems very arbitrary, yet it will be observed that almost every arrangement produces some effect such as must usually be given in English by emphasis or stress of voice. In the Exercises to follow, the pupil should observe the reason of any change he may make from the normal order, and the effect it has in making prominent some particular word or words. He should also acquire, as early as possible, the habit of regarding his composition as a Latin sentence, and not as an English sentence turned into Latin -words. And he will be aided in this by habitually reading over the sentence as Latin after he has written it, to be sure that it has a Latin sound. 1.

This is the order usually to be followed, where no emphasis is thrown on any particular word, as in simple narrative of fact: thus, Hannibal imperator facfns proarimo triennio omnes gentes Hispaniae hello subeait.-- Nepos, Hann. 3. Remark. -- In actual practice, the normal order of words is rarely found. It is continually altered, either for the sake of emphasis, -- to throw stress on the more important words; or for the sake of euphony, -- to make the sentence more agreeable to the ear. 2. Modifiers of Nouns -- as adjectives (not predicate), appositives, and oblique cases used as attributes -- usually follow the noun; modifiers of Verbs...
