PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION. FEELING the want of some simple, introductory work to the Latin language, for the younger class of learners, the author prepared the first edition of this little book for his Own immediate use, while engaged in the instruction of youth. The public, however, having so far approved of the work as to call soon for a new edition, he has not failed to prepare it, and, by the introduction of many improvements, to render it still more worthy of approbation. He is aware that the present labour is a very humble one; a labour, from which neither profit nor fame can be expected; but, humble as it is, it will be richly repaid, if it shall facilitate the labours of the instructer, and lessen the difficulties of the youthful scholar in entering upon his classical studies. Dickinson College, Carlisle, March 29, 1831. |
