PREFACE
The first pages are devoted to a brief discussion of the Latin language,
its history, and its educational value. The body of the book, consisting
of seventy-nine lessons, is divided into three parts.
Part II carries the work through the first sixty lessons, and is devoted
to the study of forms and vocabulary, together with some elementary
constructions, a knowledge of which is necessary for the translation of
the exercises and reading matter. The first few lessons have been made
unusually simple, to meet the wants of pupils not well grounded in
English grammar.
Part III contains nineteen lessons, and is concerned primarily with the
study of syntax and of subjunctive and irregular verb forms. The last
three of these lessons constitute a review of all the constructions
presented in the book. There is abundant easy reading matter; and, in
order to secure proper concentration of effort upon syntax and
translation, no new vocabularies are introduced, but the vocabularies in
Part II are reviewed.
The forms are presented in their natural sequence, and are given, for
the most part, in the body of the book as well as in a grammatical
appendix. The work on the verb is intensive in character, work in other
directions being reduced to a minimum while this is going on. The forms
of the subjunctive are studied in correlation with the subjunctive
constructions.
The vocabulary has been selected with the greatest care, using Lodge's
"Dictionary of Secondary Latin" and Browne's "Latin Word List" as a
basis. There are about six hundred words, exclusive of proper names, in
the special vocabularies, and these are among the simplest and commonest
words in the language. More than ninety-five per cent of those chosen
are C�sarian, and of these more than ninety per cent are used in C�sar
five or more times. The few words not C�sarian 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 C�sar
can easily do so, as the C�sarian words are printed in the vocabularies
in distinctive type. Concrete nouns have been preferred to abstract,
root words to compounds and derivatives, even when the latter were of
more frequent occurrence in C�sar. To assist the memory, related English
words are added in each special vocabulary. To insure more careful
preparation, the special vocabularies have been removed from their
respective lessons and placed by themselves. The general vocabulary
contains about twelve hundred words, and of these above eighty-five per
cent are found in C�sar.
Selections for reading are unusually abundant and are introduced from
the earliest possible moment. These increase in number and length as the
book progresses, and, for the most part, are made an integral part of
the lessons instead of being massed at the end of the book. This
arrangement insures a more constant and thorough drill in forms and
vocabulary, promotes reading power, and affords a breathing spell
between succeeding subjects. The material is drawn from historical and
mythological sources, and the vocabulary employed includes but few words
not already learned. The book closes with a continued story which
recounts the chief incidents in the life of a Roman boy. The last
chapters record his experiences in C�sar's army, and contain much
information that will facilitate the interpretation of the Commentaries.
The early emphasis placed on word order and sentence structure, the
simplicity of the syntax, and the familiarity of the vocabulary, make
the reading selections especially useful for work in sight translation.
A consistent effort has been made to use simple language and clear
explanation throughout.
The author wishes to express his gratitude to the numerous teachers who
tested the advance pages in their classes, and, as a result of their
experience, have given much valuable aid by criticism and suggestion.
Particular acknowledgments are due to Miss A. Susan Jones of the Central
High School, Grand Rapids, Michigan; to Miss Clara Allison of the High
School at Hastings, Michigan; and to Miss Helen B. Muir and Mr. Orland
O. Norris, teachers of Latin in this institution.

INDEX 344-348
�What is Latin?� If you will look at the map of Italy on the opposite
page, you will find near the middle of the peninsula and facing the west
coast a district called Latium,[1] and Rome its capital. The Latin
language, meaning the language of Latium, was spoken by the ancient
Romans and other inhabitants of Latium, and Latin was the name applied
to it after the armies of Rome had carried the knowledge of her language
far beyond its original boundaries. As the English of to-day is not
quite the same as that spoken two or three hundred years ago, so Latin
was not always the same at all times, but changed more or less in the
course of centuries. The sort of Latin you are going to learn was in use
about two thousand years ago. And that period has been selected because
the language was then at its best and the greatest works of Roman
literature were being produced. This period, because of its supreme
excellence, is called the Golden Age of Roman letters.
�The Spread of Latin.� For some centuries after Rome was founded, the
Romans were a feeble and insignificant people, their territory was
limited to Latium, and their existence constantly threatened by warlike
neighbors. But after the third century before Christ, Rome's power grew
rapidly. She conquered all Italy, then reached out for the lands across
the sea and beyond the Alps, and finally ruled over the whole ancient
world. The empire thus established lasted for more than four hundred
years. The importance of Latin increased with the growth of Roman
power, and what had been a dialect spoken by a single tribe became the
universal language. Gradually the language changed somewhat, developing
differently in different countries. In Italy it has become Italian, in
Spain Spanish, and in France French. All these nations, therefore, are
speaking a modernized form of Latin.
�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 culture. They excelled in
art, literature, music, science, and philosophy. Of all these pursuits
the Romans were ignorant until contact with Greece revealed to them the
value of education and filled them with the thirst for knowledge. And so
it came about that while Rome conquered Greece by force of arms, Greece
conquered Rome by force of her intellectual superiority and became her
schoolmaster. It was soon the established custom for young Romans to
go to Athens and to other centers of Greek learning to finish their
training, and the knowledge of the Greek language among the educated
classes became universal. At the same time many cultured Greeks--poets,
artists, orators, and philosophers--flocked to Rome, opened schools, and
taught their arts. Indeed, the pre�minence of Greek culture became so
great that Rome almost lost her ambition to be original, and her writers
vied with each other in their efforts to reproduce in Latin what was
choicest in Greek literature. As a consequence of all this, the
civilization and national life of Rome became largely Grecian, and to
Greece she owed her literature and her art.
�Rome and the Modern World.� After conquering the world, Rome impressed
her language, laws, customs of living, and modes of thinking upon the
subject nations, and they became Roman; and the world has remained
largely Roman ever since. Latin continued to live, and the knowledge of
Latin was the only light of learning that burned steadily through the
dark ages that followed the downfall of the Roman Empire. Latin was the
common language of scholars and remained so even down to the days of
Shakespeare. Even yet it is more nearly than any other tongue the
universal language of the learned. The life of to-day is much nearer
the life of ancient Rome than the lapse of centuries would lead one to
suppose. You and I are Romans still in many ways, and if C�sar and
Cicero should appear among us, we should not find them, except for dress
and language, much unlike men of to-day.
�Latin and English.� Do you know that more than half of the words in the
English dictionary are Latin, and that you are speaking more or less
Latin every day? How has this come about? In the year 1066 William the
Conqueror invaded England with an army of Normans. The Normans spoke
French--which, you remember, is descended from Latin--and spread their
language to a considerable extent over England, and so Norman-French
played an important part in the formation of English and forms a large
proportion of our vocabulary. Furthermore, great numbers of almost pure
Latin words have been brought into English through the writings of
scholars, and every new scientific discovery is marked by the addition
of new terms of Latin derivation. Hence, while the simpler and commoner
words of our mother tongue are Anglo-Saxon, and Anglo-Saxon forms the
staple of our colloquial language, yet in the realms of literature, and
especially in poetry, words of Latin derivation are very abundant. Also
in the learned professions, as in law, medicine, and engineering, a
knowledge of Latin is necessary for the successful interpretation of
technical and scientific terms.
�Why study Latin?� The foregoing paragraphs make it clear why Latin
forms so important a part of modern education. We have seen that our
civilization rests upon that of Greece and Rome, and that we must look
to the past if we would understand the present. It is obvious, too, that
the knowledge of Latin not only leads to a more exact and effective use
of our own language, but that it is of vital importance and of great
practical value to any one preparing for a literary or professional
career. To this it may be added that the study of Latin throws a flood
of light upon the structure of language in general and lays an excellent
foundation for all grammatical study. 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?
Where 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? What
did Latin have to do with the formation of English? What proportion of
English words are of Latin origin, and what kind of words are they? Why
should we study Latin?
PART I
THE ALPHABET
�1.� The Latin alphabet contains the same letters as the English except
that it has no _w_ and no _j_.
�2.� The vowels, as in English, are _a, e, i, o, u, y_. The other
letters are consonants.
�4.� Latin was not pronounced like English. The Romans at the beginning
of the Christian era pronounced their language substantially as
described below.
[Transcriber's Note:
In this version of the text, long vowels are shown with a circumflex
accent ("hat") and short vowels are unmarked, as described in the
introductory notes.]
NOTE. Give all the vowels and diphthongs their proper sounds and do not
slur over them in unaccented syllables, as is done in English.
SYLLABLES
�8.� A Latin word has as many syllables as it has vowels and diphthongs.
Thus �aes-t�-te� has three syllables, �au-di-en�-dus� has four.
_a._ Two vowels with a consonant between them never make one
syllable, as is so often the case in English. Compare English
_inside_ with Latin �n-s�-de.
1. A single consonant between two vowels goes with the second. Thus
�a-m�-bi-lis�, �me-mo�-ri-a�, �in-te�-re-�, �a�-best�,
�pe-r�-git�.[3]
_a._ A consonant followed by _l_ or _r_ goes with the _l_ or _r_.
Thus �p�-bli-cus�, �a�-gr�.
�10.� EXERCISE
Divide the words in the following passage into syllables and pronounce
them, placing the accent as indicated:
[[Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise: which,
having no guide, overseer, or ruler, provideth her meat in the summer
and gathereth her food in the harvest.]]
QUANTITY
[Transcriber's Note:
The wording of � 12 is as in the original, except that the macron
(long-vowel symbol) has been replaced with a circumflex accent
("hat"), and the breve (short-vowel symbol) has been omitted.]
2. A vowel is short before _nt_ and _nd_, before final _m_ or _t_,
and, except in words of one syllable, before final _l_ or _r_. Thus
�a�-mant�, �a-man�-dus�, �a-m�-bam�, �a-m�-bat�, �a�-ni-mal�,
�a�-mor�.
1. �A syllable is short�,
2. �A syllable is long�,
NOTE. The vowel in a long syllable may be either long or short, and
should be pronounced accordingly. Thus in �ter�-ra�, �in�-ter�, the
first syllable is long, but the vowel in each case is short and should
be given the short sound. In words like �saxum� the first syllable is
long because _x_ has the value of two consonants (_cs_ or _gs_).
NOTE. Give about twice as much time to the long syllables as to the
short ones. It takes about as long to pronounce a short vowel plus a
consonant as it does to pronounce a long vowel or a diphthong, and so
these quantities are considered equally long. For example, it takes
about as long to say �cur�-r� as it does �c�-r�, and so each of these
first syllables is long. Compare �mol�-lis� and �m�-lis�, ��-mis�-s�
and ��-mi�-s�.
ACCENT
[Footnote 5: Enclitic means _leaning back_, and that is, as you see,
just what these little words do. They cannot stand alone and so they
lean back for support upon the preceding word.]
S�mi-sepultus vi�tor

PART II
LESSON I
FIRST PRINCIPLES
_Galba is a farmer_
�Galba est agricola�
_The sailor fights_
�Nauta pugnat�
SUBJECT PREDICATE
_Galba_ _is a farmer_
�Galba�
_The sailor_ _fights_
�Nauta� �pugnat�
3. The predicate is that which is said about the subject, and consists
of a verb with or without modifiers.
�20.� �The Object.� In the two sentences, _The boy hit the ball_ and
_The ball hit the boy_, the same words are used, but the meaning is
different, and depends upon the order of the words. The �doer� of the
act, that about which something is said, is, as we have seen above, the
�subject�. �That to which something is done� is the �direct object� of
the verb. _The boy hit the ball_ is therefore analyzed as follows:
SUBJECT PREDICATE
/-----------\
_The boy_ _hit the ball_
(verb) (direct object)
�21.� �The Copula.� The verb _to be_ in its different forms--_are_,
_is_, _was_, etc.--does not tell us anything about the subject; neither
does it govern an object. It simply connects the subject with the word
or words in the predicate that possess a distinct meaning. Hence it is
called the �copula�, that is, _the joiner_ or _link_.
�22.� In the following sentences pronounce the Latin and name the
_nouns, verbs, subjects, objects, predicates, copulas_:
_a._ The sentences above show that Latin does not express some words
which are necessary in English. First of all, _Latin has no article
�the� or �a�_; thus _�agricola�_ may mean _the farmer, a farmer_,
or simply _farmer_. Then, too, the personal pronouns, _I, you, he,
she_, etc., and the possessive pronouns, _my, your, his, her_, etc.,
are not expressed if the meaning of the sentence is clear without
them.
LESSON II
�23.� �Inflection.� Words may change their forms to indicate some change
in sense or use, as, _is, are_; _was, were; who, whose, whom; farmer,
farmer's; woman, women_. This is called �inflection�. The inflection of
a noun, adjective, or pronoun is called its �declension�, that of a verb
its �conjugation�.
�24.� �Number.� Latin, like English, has two numbers, singular and
plural. In English we usually form the plural by adding _-s_ or _-es_ to
the singular. So Latin changes the singular to the plural by changing
the ending of the word. Compare
�Naut-a pugnat�
_The sailor fights_
�Naut-ae pugnant�
_The sailors fight_
�25.� RULE. _Nouns that end in �-a� in the singular end in �-ae� in the
plural_.
�26.� Learn the following nouns so that you can give the English for the
Latin or the Latin for the English. Write the plural of each.
�Nauta pugna-t�
_The sailor fights_
�Nautae pugna-nt�
_The sailors fight_
�29.� RULE. _In the conjugation of the Latin verb the third person
singular active ends in �-t�, the third person plural in �-nt�. The
endings which show the person and number of the verb are called
�personal endings�._
�30.� Learn the following verbs and write the plural of each. The
personal pronouns _he_, _she_, _it_, etc., which are necessary in the
inflection of the English verb, are not needed in the Latin, because the
personal endings take their place. Of course, if the verb's subject is
expressed we do not translate the personal ending by a pronoun; thus
�nauta pugnat� is translated _the sailor fights_, not _the sailor he
fights_.
�ama-t� _he (she, it) loves, is loving, does love_ (amity, amiable)
�lab�ra-t� " " " _labors, is laboring, does labor_
�n�ntia-t�[2] " " " _announces, is announcing, does announce_
�porta-t� " " " _carries, is carrying, does carry_ (porter)
�pugna-t� " " " _fights, is fighting, does fight_ (pugnacious)
�31.� EXERCISES
[Illustration: DOMINA]
LESSON III
_a._ Observe that in each case the subject of the sentence ends in
�-a� and the object in �-am�. The _form_ of the noun shows how it is
used in the sentence, and the order of the words has no effect on
the essential meaning.
2. As stated above (�23), this change of ending is called
�declension�, and each different ending produces what is called a
�case�. When we decline a noun, we give all its different cases, or
changes of endings. In English we have three cases,--nominative,
possessive, and objective; but, in nouns, the nominative and objective
have the same form, and only the possessive case shows a change of
ending, by adding _'s_ or the apostrophe. The interrogative pronoun,
however, has the fuller declension, _who?_ _whose?_ _whom?_
�33.� The following table shows a comparison between English and Latin
declension forms, and should be thoroughly memorized:
_b._ The genitive singular ends in �-ae� and the genitive plural in
�-�rum�.
_c._ The accusative singular ends in �-am� and the accusative plural
in �-�s�.
_d._ The genitive singular and the nominative plural have the same
ending.
�34.� EXERCISE
Pronounce the following words and give their general meaning. Then give
the number and case, and the use of each form. Where the same form
stands for more than one case, give all the possible cases and uses.
LESSON IV
[Special Vocabulary]
NOUNS
�dea�, _goddess_ (deity)
Di�na, _Diana_
�fera�, _a wild beast_ (fierce)
L�t�na, _Latona_
�sagit�ta�, _arrow_
VERBS
�est�, _he (she, it) is_; �sunt�, _they are_
�necat�, _he (she, it) kills, is killing, does kill_
CONJUNCTION[A]

PRONOUNS
�quis�, interrog. pronoun, nom. sing., _who?_
�cuius� (pronounced _c[oo]i�y[oo]s_, two syllables), interrog.
pronoun, gen. sing., _whose?_
�35.� We learned from the table (�33) that the Latin nominative,
genitive, and accusative correspond, in general, to the nominative,
possessive, and objective in English, and that they are used in the same
way. This will be made even clearer by the following sentence:
What is the subject? the direct object? What case is used for the
subject? for the direct object? What word denotes the possessor? In what
case is it?
�39.� EXERCISES
I. 1. Di�na est dea. 2. L�t�na est dea. 3. Di�na et L�t�na sunt deae.
4. Di�na est dea l�nae. 5. Di�na est f�lia L�t�nae. 6. L�t�na Di�nam
amat. 7. Di�na est dea silv�rum. 8. Di�na silvam amat. 9. Di�na sagitt�s
portat. 10. Di�na fer�s silvae necat. 11. Ferae terr�rum pugnant.
�40.� CONVERSATION
Translate the questions and answer them in Latin. The answers may be
found in the exercises preceding.
LESSON V
[Special Vocabulary]
NOUNS
�cor�na�, _wreath, garland, crown_
f�bula, _story_ (fable)
�pec�nia�, _money_ (pecuniary)
�pugna�, _battle_ (pugnacious)
�vict�ria�, _victory_
VERBS
�dat�, _he (she, it) gives_
n�rrat, _he (she, it) tells_ (narrate)
CONJUNCTION[A]
�quia� or �quod�, _because_
[Footnote 1: Words like _to_, _for_, _by_, _from_, _in_, etc., which
define the relationship between words, are called �prepositions�.]
�42.� When the nominative singular ends in �-a�, the dative singular
ends in �-ae� and the dative plural in �-�s�.
NOTE. Observe that the _genitive singular_, the _dative singular_, and
the _nominative plural_ all have the same ending, �-ae�; but the uses of
the three cases are entirely different. The general meaning of the
sentence usually makes clear which case is intended.
_a._ Form the dative singular and plural of the following nouns:
�fuga�, �causa�, �fort�na�, �terra�, �aqua�, �puella�, �agricola�,
�nauta�, �domina�.
�43.� �The Dative Relation.� The dative case is used to express the
relations conveyed in English by the prepositions _to_, _towards_,
_for_.
Here the verb, �n�ntiat�, governs the direct object, �fugam�, in the
accusative case. If, however, we wish to mention the persons �to whom�
the sailor announces the flight, as, _The sailor announces the flight
�to the farmers�_, the verb will have two objects:
1. Its direct object, _flight_ (�fugam�)
2. Its indirect object, _farmers_
_a._ The indirect object usually stands before the direct object.
�46.� We may now complete the translation of the sentence _The sailor
announces the flight to the farmers_, and we have
�47.� EXERCISES
_Point out the direct and indirect objects and the genitive of the
possessor._
II. 1. To whom do the girls give a wreath? 2. The girls give a wreath to
Julia, because Julia loves wreaths. 3. The sailors tell the ladies[2] a
story, because the ladies love stories. 4. The farmer gives his
(�22.a) daughter water. 5. Galba announces the cause of the battle
to the sailor. 6. The goddess of the moon loves the waters of the
forest. 7. Whose wreath is Latona carrying? Diana's.
LESSON VI

ADJECTIVES
�bona�, _good_
�gr�ta�, _pleasing_
�magna�, _large, great_
�mala�, _bad, wicked_
�parva�, _small, little_
�pulchra�, _beautiful, pretty_
�s�la�, _alone_
NOUNS
ancil�la, _maidservant_
I�lia, _Julia_
ADVERBS[A]
�c�r�, _why_
�n�n�, _not_
PRONOUNS
�mea�, _my_; �tua�, _thy, your_ (possesives)
�quid�, interrog. pronoun, nom. and acc. sing., _what?_
�-ne�, the question sign, an enclitic (�16) added to the first word,
which, in a question, is usually the verb, as �amat�, _he loves_,
but �amat�ne�? _does he love?_ �est�, _he is_; �estne�? _is he?_
Of course �-ne� is not used when the sentence contains �quis�,
�c�r�, or some other interrogative word.
�48.� �The Ablative Case.� Another case, lacking in English but found in
the fuller Latin declension, is the _ab�la-tive._
�49.� When the nominative singular ends in �-a�, the ablative singular
ends in �-� and the ablative plural in �-�s�.
_a._ Observe that the final -a of the nominative is short, while the
final -� of the ablative is long, as,
_Nom._ f�lia
_Abl._ f�li�
_b._ Observe that the ablative plural is like the dative plural.
_c._ Form the ablative singular and plural of the following nouns:
�fuga�, �causa�, �fort�na�, �terra�, �aqua�, �puella�, �agricola�,
�nauta�, �domina�.
�50.� �The Ablative Relation.� The ablative case is used to express the
relations conveyed in English by the prepositions _from_, _with_, _by_,
_at_, _in_. It denotes
In our class there are twenty boys and girls. Daily at eight
o'clock they come from home with their books, and while they are
at school they read with ease the books written by the Romans.
By patience and perseverance all things in this world can be
overcome.
�53.� Prepositions denoting the ablative relations _from, with, in, on_,
are naturally followed by the ablative case. Among these are
In this sentence �parva� (_little_) and �bonam� (_good_) are not nouns,
but are descriptive words expressing quality. Such words are called
_adjectives_,[2] and they are said to belong to the noun which they
describe.
You can tell by its ending to which noun an adjective belongs. The
ending of �parva� shows that it belongs to �puella�, and the ending of
�bonam� that it belongs to �deam�. Words that belong together are said
to agree, and the belonging-together is called _agreement_. Observe that
_the adjective and its noun agree in number and case_.
In the first sentence the adjective �parva� is separated from its noun
by the verb and stands in the predicate. It is therefore called a
_predicate adjective_. In the second sentence the adjectives �parva� and
�bonam� are closely attached to the nouns �puella� and �deam�
respectively, and are called _attributive adjectives._
_a._ Pick out the attributive and the predicate adjectives in the
following:
Do you think Latin is hard? Hard studies make strong brains. Lazy
students dislike hard studies. We are not lazy.

�57.� In the preceding lessons we have now gone over all the cases,
singular and plural, of nouns whose nominative singular ends in �-a�.
All Latin nouns whose nominative singular ends in �-a� belong to the
First Declension. It is also called the _�_-Declension because of the
prominent part which the vowel �a� plays in the formation of the cases.
We have also learned what relations are expressed by each case. These
results are summarized in the following table:
+--------+----------------+-------------------+-------------------------+
| CASE | NOUN | TRANSLATION | USE AND GENERAL MEANING |
| | | | OF EACH CASE |

Thus, in the declension above, �domin-� is the base and �-a� is the
termination of the nominative singular.
�59.� Write the declension of the following nouns, separating the base
from the termination by a hyphen. Also give them orally.
Latin, like English, has three genders. Names of males are usually
masculine and of females feminine, but _names of things have grammatical
gender and may be either masculine, feminine, or neuter_. Thus we have
in Latin the three words, �lapis�, _a stone_; �r�p�s�, _a cliff_; and
�saxum�, _a rock_. �Lapis� is _masculine_, �r�p�s� _feminine_, and
�saxum� _neuter_. The gender can usually be determined by the ending of
the word, and _must always be learned_, for without knowing the gender
it is impossible to write correct Latin.

�68.� �Latin Word Order.� The order of words in English and in Latin
sentences is not the same.
In Latin, where the office of the word in the sentence is shown by its
_ending_ (cf. �32.1), and not by its _position_, the order of words is
more free, and position is used to secure the same effect that in
English is secured by emphasis of voice. To a limited extent we can
alter the order of words in English, too, for the same purpose. Compare
the sentences
Changes from the normal order are frequent, and are due to the desire
for throwing emphasis upon some word or phrase. _Notice the order of
the Latin words when you are translating, and imitate it when you are
turning English into Latin._
�69.� EXERCISE
_Note the order of the words in these sentences and pick out those that

_b._ The vocative singular of words of the second declension in

_b._ Decline �gr�tus, -a, -um�; �malus, -a, -um�; �altus, -a, -um�;
�parvus, -a, -um�.
�84.� Thus far the adjectives have had the same terminations as the
nouns. However, the agreement between the adjective and its noun does
_not_ mean that they must have the same termination. If the adjective
and the noun belong to different declensions, the terminations will, in
many cases, not be the same. For example, �nauta�, _sailor_, is
masculine and belongs to the first declension. The masculine form of the
adjective �bonus� is of the second declension. Consequently, _a good
sailor_ is �nauta bonus�. So, _the wicked farmer_ is �agricola malus�.

words with bases ending in �-r�, like �puer�, _boy_; �ager�, _field_;

in �ager� it is present only in the nominative. In �puer� the �e�
belongs to the base, but in �ager� (base �agr-�) it does not, and
was inserted in the nominative to make it easier to pronounce. Most
words in �-er� are declined like �ager�. _The genitive shows whether
you are to follow_ �puer� _or_ �ager�.

�122.� �The Persons.� There are three persons, as in English. The first
person is the person speaking (_I sing_); the second person the person
spoken to (_you sing_); the third person the person spoken of (_he
sings_). Instead of using personal pronouns for the different persons in
the two numbers, singular and plural, the Latin verb uses the personal
endings (cf. �22 _a_; 29). We have already learned that �-t� is the
ending of the third person singular in the active voice and �-nt� of the
third person plural. The complete list of personal endings of the active
voice is as follows:
SINGULAR PLURAL
_1st Pers._ _I_ -m or -� _we_ -mus
_2d Pers._ _thou_ or _you_ -s _you_ -tis
_3d Pers._ _he, she, it_ -t _they_ -nt
�123.� Most verbs form their moods and tenses after a regular plan and
are called _regular_ verbs. Verbs that depart from this plan are called
_irregular_. The verb _to be_ is irregular in Latin as in English. The
present, imperfect, and future tenses of the indicative are inflected as
follows:
PRESENT INDICATIVE
SINGULAR PLURAL
_1st Pers._ su-m, _I am_ su-mus, _we are_
_2d Pers._ e-s, _you[1] are_ es-tis, _you[1] are_
_3d Pers._ es-t, _he, she_, or _it is_ su-nt, _they are_

_2d Pers._ er-i-s, _you will be_ er�-i-tis, _you will be_
_3d Pers._ er-i-t, _he will be_ er-u-nt, _they will be_
_a._ Be careful about vowel quantity and accent in these forms, and
consult ��12.2; 14; 15.
[Footnote 1: Observe that in English _you are_, _you were_, etc. may
be either singular or plural. In Latin the singular and plural forms
are never the same.]

�127.� From the present stem are formed the _present_, _imperfect_, and
_future_ tenses.
�128.� The inflection of the Present Active Indicative of the first and
of the second conjugation is as follows:
2. Note that the long final vowel of the stem is shortened before
another vowel (�mon�-� = �mo�ne�), and before final �-t� (�amat�,
�monet�) and �-nt� (�amant�, �monent�). Compare �12.2.
�129.� Like �am� and �mone� inflect the present active indicative of

second conjugation which are starred. Learn their meanings.]
�130.� �The Translation of the Present.� In English there are three ways
of expressing present action. We may say, for example, _I live, I am
living_, or _I do live_. In Latin the one expression �habit� covers all
three of these expressions.

_a._ The personal endings are as in the present. The ending �-b�
in the first person singular is contracted from �-bi-�. The �-bi-�
appears as �-bu-� in the third person plural. Note that the
inflection is like that of �er�, the future of �sum�. _Pay especial

�142.� We learned in �43 for what sort of expressions we may expect the
dative, and in �44 that one of its commonest uses is with _verbs_ to
express the indirect object. It is also very common with _adjectives_
to express the object toward which the quality denoted by the adjective
is directed. We have already had a number of cases where �gr�tus�,
_agreeable to_, was so followed by a dative; and in the last lesson we
had �molestus�, _annoying to_, followed by that case. The usage may be
more explicitly stated by the following rule:

2. re�gitis, _you rule_ aud�tis, _you hear_
3. re�gunt, _they rule_ au�diunt, _they hear_
2. The final short �-e-� of the stem �rege-� combines with the �-� in
the first person, becomes �-u-� in the third person plural, and
becomes �-i-� elsewhere. The inflection is like that of �er�, the
future of �sum�.
Note that �-i-� is always short in the third conjugation and long in
the fourth, excepting where long vowels are regularly shortened. (Cf.
�12.1, 2.)

2. reg�b�tis, _you were ruling_ audi�b�tis, _you were hearing_
3. reg�bant, _they were ruling_ audi�bant, _they were hearing_
2. Observe that the final �-e-� of the stem is lengthened before the
tense sign �-b�-�. This makes the imperfect of the third conjugation
just like the imperfect of the second (cf. �mon�bam� and �reg�bam�).
�152.� EXERCISES
II. 1. They were leading, you were driving (_sing. and plur._), he was
fortifying. 2. They were sending, we were finding, I was coming. 3. You
were sending, you were fortifying, (_sing. and plur._), he was saying.
4. They were hearing, you were leading (_sing. and plur._), I was

and plur._), we were coming, they were ruling.
�155.� EXERCISE
LESSON XXV
�156.� In the future tense of the third and fourth conjugations we meet
with a new tense sign. Instead of using �-bi-�, as in the first and
second conjugations, we use �-�-�[1] in the first person singular and
�-�-� in the rest of the tense. In the third conjugation the final �-e-�
of the stem is dropped before this tense sign; in the fourth conjugation
the final �-�-� of the stem is retained.[2]
�157.� PARADIGMS

1. reg�mus, _we shall rule_ audi�mus, _we shall hear_
2. reg�tis, _you will rule_ audi�tis, _you will hear_

�158.� EXERCISES
II. 1. I shall find, he will hear, they will come. 2. I shall fortify,
he will send, we shall say. 3. I shall drive, you will lead, they will
hear. 4. You will send, you will fortify, (_sing. and plur._), he will
say. 5. I shall come, we shall find, they will send.
6. Who[3] will believe the story? I[4] shall believe the story. 7. Whose
friends do you favor? We favor our friends. 8. Who will resist our
weapons? Sextus will resist your weapons. 9. Who will persuade him?
They will persuade him. 10. Why were you injuring my horse? I was not
injuring your horse. 11. Whom does a good slave obey? A good slave obeys
his master. 12. Our men were eager for another battle.
LESSON XXVI
�159.� There are a few common verbs ending in �-i� which do not belong
to the fourth conjugation, as you might infer, but to the third. The
fact that they belong to the third conjugation is shown by the ending of
the infinitive. (Cf. �126.) Compare
PLURAL
1. ca�pimus capi�b�mus capi�mus
2. ca�pitis capi�b�tis capi�tis
3. ca�piunt capi�bant ca�pient
1. Observe that �capi� and the other �-i� verbs follow the fourth
conjugation wherever in the fourth conjugation _two vowels occur in
succession._ (Cf. capi�, audi�; capiunt, audiunt; and all the
imperfect and future.) All other forms are like the third conjugation.
(Cf. capis, regis; capit, regit; etc.)
2. The verbs �d�c�, _say_; �d�c�, _lead_; and �faci�, _make_, have
the irregular forms �d�c�, �d�c�, and �fac� in the singular.

�178.� We learned in �50 that one of the three relations covered by the
ablative case is expressed in English by the preposition _from._ This is
sometimes called the _separative ablative_, and it has a number of
special uses. You have already grown familiar with the first mentioned
below.

expressed by the ablative with the prepositions �� or �ab�, �d�, ��
or �ex�._

�181.� RULE. �Ablative of the Personal Agent.� _The word expressing the
person from whom an action starts, when not the subject, is put in the
ablative with the preposition �� or �ab�._
_b._ Note that the active form of the above sentence would be
�Perseus monstrum necat�, _Perseus is slaying the monster_. In the
passive the _object_ of the active verb becomes the _subject_, and
the _subject_ of the active verb becomes the _ablative of the
personal agent_, with �� or �ab�.

�183.� �Principal Parts.� There are certain parts of the verb that are
of so much consequence in tense formation that we call them the
_principal parts._
The principal parts of the Latin verb are the present, the past, and the
past participle; as _go, went, gone_; _see, saw, seen_, etc.
The principal parts of the Latin verb are the _first person singular of
the present indicative_, the _present infinitive_, the _first person
singular of the perfect indicative_, and _the perfect passive
participle._
�185.� �The Perfect Stem.� The perfect stem of the verb is formed in
various ways, but may always be _found by dropping �-� from the first
person singular of the perfect_, the third of the principal parts. From
the perfect stem are formed the following tenses:
SINGULAR PLURAL
1. -�, _I_ 1. -imus, _we_
2. -ist�, _you_ 2. -istis, _you_
3. -it, _he, she, it_ 3. -�runt or -�re, _they_
PERFECT
SINGULAR PLURAL
fu��, _I have been, I was_ fu�imus, _we have been, we were_
fuis�t�, fuis�tis, _you have been, you were_
_you have been, you were_
fu�it, _he has been, he was_ fu�runt _or_ fu�re,
_they have been, they were_
3. Observe that the future perfect may be formed by adding �er�, the
future of �sum�, to the perfect stem. But the third person plural ends
in �-erint�, not in �-erunt�. The tense sign is �-eri-�.
�188.� DIALOGUE

Sextus been? He had been in a field next to the river. 3. Who has been

5. If the wind has been suitable, the boys have been in the boat.
6. Soon we shall sail with the boys. 7. There[3] will be no danger,
if we are (shall have been) careful.[4]

�adversus, -a, -um�, _opposite; adverse, contrary_
�pl�nus, -a, -um�, _full_ (plenty)
PREPOSITION
�pr�, with abl., _before; in behalf of; instead of_
ADVERB
�di�, _for a long time, long_
�190.� �Meanings of the Perfect.� The perfect tense has two distinct
meanings. The first of these is equivalent to the English present
perfect, or perfect with _have_, and denotes that the action of the verb
is complete at the time of speaking; as, _I have finished my work_. As
this denotes completed action at a definite time, it is called the
�perfect definite�.
When telling a story the Latin uses the _perfect indefinite_ to mark the
different _forward steps_ of the narrative, and the _imperfect_ to
_describe situations and circumstances_ that attend these steps. If the
following sentences were Latin, what tenses would be used?
PERFECT STEMS
�am�v-� �monu-� �r�x-� �c�p-� �aud�v-�

_or_ _or_ _or_ _or_ _or_
am�v�re monu�re r�x�re c�p�re aud�v�re
1. The first person of the perfect is always given as the third of the
principal parts. From this we get the perfect stem. _This shows the
absolute necessity of learning the principal parts thoroughly._
Tum forte Perseus, �l�s fr�tus, super Aethiopiam vol�bat. V�dit populum,
Andromedam, lacrim�s, et, magnopere attonitus, ad terram d�scendit. Tum

ca�pi� ca�pe-re c�p-� capt-us
IV. au�di� aud�-re aud�v-� aud�t-us
�202.� In English the perfect, past perfect, and future perfect tenses
of the indicative passive are made up of forms of the auxiliary verb
_to be_ and the past participle; as, _I have been loved_, _I had been
loved_, _I shall have been loved._
EXAMPLES IN SINGULAR
�Vir laud�tus est�, _the man was praised_, or _has been praised_
�Puella laud�ta est�, _the girl was praised_, or _has been praised_
�C�nsilium laud�tum est�, _the plan was praised_, or
_has been praised_
EXAMPLES IN PLURAL
�Vir� laud�t� sunt�, _the men were praised_, or _have been praised_
�Puellae laud�tae sunt�, _the girls were praised_, or
_have been praised_
�C�nsilia laud�ta sunt�, _the plans were praised_, or
_have been praised_

expressing ablative relations govern the ablative case. Those we have
had are here summarized. The table following should be learned.
�ad�, _to_;
�apud�, _among_;

[Footnote 6: �ex�, _out of_, i.e. _from the nuumber of_; best
translated _of_.]
LESSON XXXVIII
NOTE. An independent statement is one that can stand alone; it does not
depend upon another statement.
The word _who_ is a pronoun, for it takes the place of the noun _men_.
It also connects the subordinate clause _who were taken_ with the noun
_men_. Hence the clause is an _adjective clause_. A pronoun that
connects an _adjective clause_ with a substantive is called a _relative
pronoun_, and the substantive for which the relative pronoun stands is
called its _antecedent_. The relative pronouns in English are _who,
whose, whom, which, what, that_.

LESSON XXXIX
[Special Vocabulary]
�230.� �Bases and Stems.� In learning the first and second declensions
we saw that the different cases were formed by adding the case
terminations to the part of the word that did not change, which we
called the �base�. If to the base we add �-� in the first declension,
and �-o� in the second, we get what is called the �stem�. Thus �porta�
has the base �port-� and the stem �port�-�; �servus� has the base
�serv-� and the stem �servo-�.
These stem vowels, �-�-� and �-o-�, play so important a part in the
formation of the case terminations that these declensions are named from
them respectively the _�_- and _O_-Declensions.
I. Stems that add �-s� to the base to form the nominative singular.
II. Stems that add no termination in the nominative singular.

[Footnote 1: About the year 100 B.C. the Romans were greatly alarmed
by an invasion of barbarians from the north known as Cimbri and
Teutons. They were traveling with wives and children, and had an

�316.� In the sentence _Galba is a head taller than Sextus_, the phrase
_a head taller_ expresses the �measure of difference� in height between
Galba and Sextus. The Latin form of expression would be _Galba is taller
than Sextus �by a head�_. This is clearly an ablative relation, and the
construction is called the �ablative of the measure of difference�.

etc. etc. etc.
In such sentences the genitive denotes the whole, and the word it
modifies denotes a part of that whole. Such a genitive, denoting the
whole of which a part is taken, is called a �partitive genitive�.
�331.� RULE. �Partitive Genitive.� _Words denoting a part are often used
with the genitive of the whole, known as the �partitive genitive�._

stormed that very town with three legions. 3. In one hour he destroyed a
great part of the fortification. 4. When the enemy could no longer[2]
defend the gates, they retreated to a hill which was not far distant.[3]
5. There three thousand of them bravely resisted the Romans.[4]
[Special Vocabulary]
�333.� Learn the first twenty of the ordinal numerals (�478). The
ordinals are all declined like �bonus�.
�335.� We have learned that, besides its use as object, the accusative
is used to express space relations not covered by the ablative. We have
had such expressions as �per pl�rim�s ann�s�, _for a great many years_;
�per t�tum diem�, _for a whole day_. Here the space relation is one of
_extent of time_. We could also say �per decem ped�s�, _for ten feet_,
where the space relation is one of _extent of space_. While this is
correct Latin, the usual form is to use the accusative with no
preposition, as,
�Vir t�tum diem cucurrit�, _the man ran for a whole day_
�Caesar m�rum decem ped�s m�vit�, _C�sar moved the wall ten feet_
_a._ This accusative answers the questions _how long? how far?_
Select the accusatives of time and space and the ablatives of time in
the following:
When did the general arrive? He arrived at two o'clock. How long had
he been marching? For four days. How far did he march? He marched
sixty-five miles. Where has he pitched his camp? Three miles from the
river, and he will remain there several days. The wall around the camp
is ten feet high. When did the war begin? In the first year after the
king's death.
�337.� EXERCISES
II. 1. C�sar pitched camp two miles from the river. 2. He fortified the
camp with a ditch fifteen feet wide and a rampart nine feet high. 3. The
camp of the enemy was a great way off (was distant by a great space).
4. On the next day he hastened ten miles in three hours. 5. Suddenly the
enemy with all their forces made an attack upon (�in� _with acc._) the
rear. 6. For two hours the Romans were hard pressed by the barbarians.
7. In three hours the barbarians were fleeing.
LESSON LX
DEPONENT VERBS
[Special Vocabulary]
�338.� A number of verbs are passive in form but active in meaning; as,
�hortor�, _I encourage_; �vereor�, _I fear_. Such verbs are called
�deponent� because they have laid aside (�d�-p�nere�, _to lay aside_)
the active forms.
_a._ Besides having all the forms of the passive, deponent verbs
have also the future active infinitive and a few other active forms
which will be noted later. (Sec��375, 403.b.)
The prepositions with the accusative that occur most frequently are
�ante�, _before_
�apud�, _among_
�circum�, _around_
�contr�, _against, contrary to_
�extr�, _outside of_
�in�, _into, in, against, upon_
�inter�, _between, among_
�intr�, _within_
�ob�, _on account of_ (�quam ob rem�, _wherefore, therefore_)
�per�, _through, by means of_
�post�, _after, behind_
�propter�, _on account of, because of_
�tr�ns�, _across, over_
_a._ Most of these you have had before. Review the old ones and
learn the new ones. Review the list of prepositions governing the
ablative, �209.
�341.� EXERCISES
II. 1. Contrary to our expectation, the enemy fled and the cavalry
followed close after them. 2. From all parts of the multitude the shouts
arose of those who were being wounded. 3. C�sar did not allow the
cavalry to pursue too far.[1] 4. The cavalry set out at the first hour
and was returning[2] to camp at the fourth hour. 5. Around the Roman
camp was a rampart twelve feet high. 6. C�sar will delay three days
because of the grain supply. 7. Nearly all the lieutenants feared the
enemy and attempted to delay the march.

PART III
CONSTRUCTIONS
INTRODUCTORY NOTE
The preceding part of this book has been concerned chiefly with forms
and vocabulary. 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 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.

�343.� The tenses of the subjunctive have the same time values as the
corresponding tenses of the indicative, and, in addition, _each of them
may refer to future time_. No meanings of the tenses will be given in
the paradigms, as the translation varies with the construction used.
PLURAL

_b._ The mood sign of the present subjunctive is �-�-� in the first
conjugation and �-�-� in the others. It is shortened in the usual
places (cf. �12), and takes the place of the final vowel of the
stem in the first and third conjugations, but not in the second and
fourth.

1. The two most important of the finite moods are the indicative and
the subjunctive. The indicative deals with facts either real or
assumed. If, then, we wish to assert something as a fact or to inquire
after a fact, we use the indicative.
NOTE. From the sentences above we observe that the subjunctive may be
used in either independent or dependent clauses; but it is far more
common in the latter than in the former.
�347.� EXERCISE
There have been times in the history of our country when you might be
proud of being an American citizen. Do you remember the day when Dewey
sailed into Manila Bay to capture or destroy the enemy's fleet? You
might have seen the admiral standing on the bridge calmly giving his
orders. He did not even wait until the mines should be removed from the
harbor's mouth, but sailed in at once. Let us not despair of our country
while such valor exists, and may the future add new glories to the past.

�356.� 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 dependent 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 clause, is naturally
also primary. If I change _he says_ to _he said_,--in other words, if I
make the principal verb secondary in character,--I feel it 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 _sequ�_, "to follow."

LESSON LXIV
�361.� The perfect and the pluperfect subjunctive active are inflected
as follows:

3. am�vis�sent monuis�sent r�xis�sent c�pis�sent aud�vis�sent
_a._ Observe that these two tenses, like the corresponding ones in
the indicative, are formed from the perfect stem.
_b._ Observe that the perfect subjunctive active is like the future
perfect indicative active, excepting that the first person singular
ends in �-m� and not in �-�.

EXAMPLES
_a._ The object clauses following these verbs all express the
purpose or will of the principal subject that something be done or
not done. (Cf. �348.)
�367.� The following verbs are used with object clauses of purpose.
Learn the list and the principal parts of the new ones.
�hortor�, _urge_
�imper�, _order_ (with the _dative_ of the _person_ ordered and a
_subjunctive clause_ of the _thing_ ordered done)
�mone�, _advise_
�pet�, �quaer�, �rog�, _ask, seek_
�persu�de�, _persuade_ (with the same construction as imper�)
�postul�, _demand, require_
�su�de�, _advise_ (cf. �persu�de�)
We ordinarily translate both of these sentences like the first, but the
difference in meaning between iube� and imper� in the Latin requires the
_infinitive_ in the one case and the _subjunctive_ in the other.
�368.� EXERCISES
II. 1. Who ordered C�sar to make the march? (_Write this sentence both
with_ �imper� _and with_ �iube�.) 2. The faithless scouts persuaded
him to set out at daybreak. 3. They will ask him not to inflict
punishment. 4. He demanded that they come to the camp. 5. He advised
them to tell everything (�omnia�).
NOTE. Do not forget that the English infinitive expressing purpose must
be rendered by a Latin subjunctive. Review �352.
LESSON LXV
�369.� Learn the subjunctive of �possum� (�495), and note especially the
position of the accent.

�timu� } �ut� {
�timueram� } { �v�nisset�
_I was fearing_, _feared_, _had feared_, _that he would not come_, _had
not come_
The same examples with �n� instead of �ut� would be translated _I fear
that_ or _lest he will come_, _has come_, etc.
�373.� EXERCISES
II. 1. We fear that they are not coming. 2. We fear lest they are
coming. 3. We feared that they had come. 4. We feared that they had
not come. 5. They feared greatly that the camp could not be defended.
6. Almost all feared[1] to leave the camp.

_b._ We observe, further, that the ablative and its participle are
absolutely independent grammatically of the rest of the sentence.
If we were to express the thought in English in a similar way, we
should use the nominative independent or absolute. In Latin the
construction is called the Ablative Absolute, or the Ablative with a
Participle. This form of expression is exceedingly common in Latin,
but rather rare in English, so we must not, as a rule, employ the
English absolute construction to translate the ablative abolute. The
attendant circumstance may be one of _time_ (when or after), or one
of _cause_ (since), or one of _concession_ (though), or one of
_condition_ (if). In each case try to discover the precise relation,
and tranlate the ablative and its participle by a clause which will
best express the thought.
NOTE 2. Be very careful not to put in the ablative absolute a noun and
participle that form the subject or object of a sentence. Compare
_b._ _The Gauls having been conquered by C�sar, the army returned
home_
In _a_ the subject is _The Gauls having been conquered by C�sar_, and we
translate,
In _b_ the subject is _the army_. _The Gauls having been conquered by
C�sar_ is nominative absolute in English, which requires the ablative
absolute in Latin, and we translate,
NOTE 3. The fact that only deponent verbs have a perfect active
participle (cf. �375.a) often compels a change of voice when
translating from one language to the other. For example, we can
translate _C�sar having encouraged the legions_ just as it stands,
because �hortor� is a deponent verb. But if we wish to say _C�sar having
conquered the Gauls_, we have to change the voice of the participle to
the passive because �vinc� is not deponent, and say, _the Gauls having
been conquered by C�sar_ (see translation above).
�382.� EXERCISES
II. 1. He was unwilling, lest they prefer, they have wished. 2. You

rumor having been heard_), commanded (�imper�re�) the legions to advance
more quickly. 5. Since C�sar was leader, the men were willing to make
the journey. 6. A few, terrified[2] by the reports which they had heard,
preferred to remain at home. 7. After these had been left behind, the
rest hastened as quickly as possible. 8. After C�sar had undertaken the

_b._ The principal clause names a cause and the subordinate clause
states the _consequence_ or _result_ of this cause.
_c._ The subordinate clause has its verb in the subjunctive, though
it is translated like an indicative. The construction is called the
_subjunctive of consequence or result_, and the clause is called a
consecutive or result clause.
_d._ In the last example the clause of result is the object of the
verb �f�cit�.
�386.� RULE. _Object clauses of result with �ut� or �ut n�n� are found
after verbs of �effecting� or �bringing about�._

1. �Quis est qu� suam domum n�n amet?� _who is there who does not love
his own home?_
2. �Erant qu� hoc facere n�llent�, _there were (some) who were
unwilling to do this._
3. �T� n�n is es qu� am�c�s tr�d�s�, _you are not such a one as to_,
or _you are not the man to, betray your friends._
_b._ Observe in 2 that when the verb is changed to the passive both
of the accusatives become nominatives, the _direct object_ becoming
the _subject_ and the _predicate accusative_ the _predicate
nominative_.

LESSON LXX
_b._ On the other hand, when the �cum� clause _describes the
circumstances_ under which the main act took place, the subjunctive
mood is used. So, in the second example, the principal clause states
that C�sar made an attack, and the �cum� clause describes the
circumstances under which this act occurred. The idea of _time_ is
also present, but it is subordinate to the idea of _description_.
Sometimes the descriptive clause is one of _cause_ and we translate
�cum� by _since_; sometimes it denotes _concession_ and �cum� is
translated _although_.
�399.� IDIOMS
�aliquem certi�rem facere�, _to inform some one_ (lit. _to make some
one more certain_)
�certior fier�, _to be informed_ (lit. _to be made more certain_)
�iter dare�, _to give a right of way, allow to pass_
�obsid�s inter s� dare�, _to give hostages to each other_
�400.� EXERCISES
Observe in each case what mood follows �cum�, and try to give the
reasons for its use. In the third sentence the �cum� clause is
concessive, in the fourth and sixth causal.
II. 1. That battle was fought at the time when (�tum cum�) I was at
Rome. 2. Though the horsemen were few in number, nevertheless they did
not retreat. 3. When the camp had been sufficiently fortified, the enemy
returned home. 4. Since the tribes are giving hostages to each other,
we shall inform C�sar. 5. The Gauls and the Germans are very unlike in
language and laws.
LESSON LXXI
Like the infinitive, the gerund governs the same case as the verb from
which it is derived. So the sentence given above becomes in Latin
_b._ Deponent verbs have the gerund of the active voice (see �493).
Give the gerund of �c�nor�, �vereor�, �sequor�, �patior�, �partior�.
�404.� �The Gerundive.� The gerundive is the name given to the future
passive participle (�374.d) when the participle approaches the meaning
of a verbal noun and is translated like a gerund. It is the adjective
corresponding to the gerund. For example, to translate _the plan of
waging war_, we may use the gerund with its direct object and say
�c�nsilium gerend� bellum�; or we may use the gerundive and say
�c�nsilium bell� gerend�, which means, literally, _the plan of the war
to be waged_, but which came to have the same force as the gerund with
its object, and was even preferred to it.
�405.� Compare the following parallel uses of the gerund and gerundive:
GERUND GERUNDIVE
_Gen._ �Sp�s faciend� p�cem� �Sp�s faciendae p�cis�
_Dat._ �Locus id�neus pugnand� �Locus id�neus castr�s p�nend�s�

�425.� The dative is the case of the indirect object. Many intransitive
verbs take an indirect object and are therefore used with the dative
(cf. �153). Transitive verbs take a direct object in the accusative; but
sometimes they have an indirect object or dative as well. _The whole
question, then, as to whether or not a verb takes the dative, defends
upon its capacity for governing an indirect object._ A number of verbs,
some transitive and some intransitive, which in their simple form would
not take an indirect object, when compounded with certain prepositions,
have a meaning which calls for an indirect object. Observe the following
sentences:
2. �Germ�n� Gall�s bellum �nferunt�, _the Germans make war upon the
Gauls._
3. �Hae c�piae proeli� n�n intererant�, _these troops did not take

�ante�, �con�, �d�, �in�, �inter�, �ob�, �post�, �prae�, �pr�, �sub�,
�super�, admit the dative of the indirect object. Transitive compounds
may take both an accusative and a dative._

of these, when the idea of _motion to_ or _against_ is strong.]

There is, however, one important difference between the Latin and the
English. In English we may say, for example, _a man of courage_, using
the descriptive phrase without an adjective modifier. _In Latin,
however, an adjective modifier must always be used_, as above.
_a._ Latin makes a distinction between the use of the two cases in
that _numerical descriptions of measure are in the genitive_ and
_descriptions of physical characteristics are in the ablative._
Other descriptive phrases may be in either case.

REVIEW OF THE GERUND AND GERUNDIVE, THE INFINITIVE, AND THE SUBJUNCTIVE
�455.� The gerund is a verbal noun and is used only in the genitive,
dative, accusative, and ablative singular. The constructions of these
cases are in general the same as those of other nouns (��402, 406.1).
I. As in English.

choose a place for a camp.
READING MATTER
INTRODUCTORY SUGGESTIONS
2. Read it again and see if any of the words you know are nominatives
or accusatives. This will often give you what may be called the
backbone of the sentence; that is, subject, verb, and object.
3. Look up the words you do not know, and determine their use in the
sentence from their endings.
4. If you cannot yet translate the sentence, put down the English
meanings of all the words _in the same order as the Latin words_. You
will then generally see through the meaning of the sentence.
5. Be careful to
_d._ _Make sense._ If you do not make sense, you have made a
mistake. One mistake will spoil a whole sentence.
�The Parts of a Sentence.� You will now meet somewhat longer sentences
than you have had before. To assist in translating them, remember, first
of all, that every sentence conveys a meaning and either tells us
something, asks a question, or gives a command. Every sentence must have
a subject and a verb, and the verb may always have an adverb, and, if
transitive, will have a direct object.
However long a sentence is, you will usually be able to recognize its
subject, verb, and object or predicate complement without any
difficulty. These will give you the leading thought, and they must never
be lost sight of while making out the rest of the sentence. The chief
difficulty in translating arises from the fact that instead of a single
adjective, adverb, or noun, we often have a phrase or a clause taking
the place of one of these; for Latin, like English, has adjective,
adverbial, and substantive clauses and phrases. For example, in the
sentence _The idle boy does not study_, the word _idle_ is an adjective.
In _The boy wasting his time does not study_, the words _wasting his
time_ form an adjective phrase modifying _boy_. In the sentence _The boy
who wastes his time does not study_, the words _who wastes his time_
form an adjective clause modifying _boy_, and the sentence is complex.
These sentences would show the same structure in Latin.
[Illustration: HERCULES]
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 manhood he succeeded in delivering the Thebans from
the oppression of the Miny�. In a fit of madness, sent upon him by
Juno, he slew his own children; and, on consulting the Delphic oracle
as to how he should cleanse himself from this crime, he was ordered to
submit 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 known 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 it would act as a charm to secure her husband's love. Some time
after, Deianira, wishing to try the charm, 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
carried off by his father Jupiter.
Post hoc proelium Cre�n r�x, tant� vict�ri� laetus, f�liam suam Hercul�

vir�rum omnium fortissimum, ill� m�nstr� homin�s l�ber�re." Haec verba

Postquam Eurysthe� mors Hydrae nuntiata est, summus terror animum eius

LXIV. LENTULUS REACHES HOME � PUBLIUS VISITS POMPEII WITH HIS FATHER
Post pauc�s di�s n�vis M. Corn�l� Lentul� portum M�s�n�[1] petiit, qu�
portus n�n long� � Pomp�i�s situs est; qu� in port� classis R�m�n�
p�n�b�tur et ad pugn�s n�v�l�s �rn�b�tur. Ibi n�v�s omnium generum
c�nspic� poterant. Iamque incr�dibil� celerit�te n�vis longa qu�
Lentulus veh�b�tur l�tor� adpropinqu�vit; nam n�n s�lum vent� sed etiam
r�m�s impell�b�tur. In alt� puppe st�bat gubern�tor et n�n procul aliqu�
m�lit�s R�m�n� cum arm�s splendid�s, inter qu�s cl�rissimus erat
Lentulus. Deinde serv� r�m�s contendere cess�v�runt[2]; nautae v�lum
contr�x�runt et ancor�s i�c�runt. Lentulus statim � n�v� �gressus est
et[3] ad villam suam proper�vit. Eum I�lia, P�blius, t�taque familia
exc�p�runt. [4]Qu� complex�s, quanta gaudia fu�runt!
Postr�di� eius di�� Lentulus f�li� su� d�xit, "Ven�, m� P�bl�, m�cum.
Pomp�i�s iter hodi� faciam. M�ter tua su�det[5] ut fr�ct�s et cib�ria
emam. Namque pl�r�s am�c�s ad c�nam voc�vimus et mult�s r�bus[6] eg�mus.
Ea hort�tur ut quam pr�mum profic�sc�mur." "Libenter, m� pater," inquit
P�blius. "T�cum esse mihi semper est gr�tum; nec Pomp�i�s umquam v�d�.
Sine mor� profic�sc� par�tus sum." Tum celeriter currum c�nscend�runt et
ad urbis m�r�s vect� sunt. Stabi�n� port�[7] urbem ingress� sunt.
P�blius str�t�s vi�s m�r�tur et saxa alti�ra quae in medi� disposita
erant et alt�s orbit�s qu�s rotae inter haec saxa f�cerant. Etiam
strepitum m�r�tur, multit�dinem, carr�s, font�s, dom�s, tabern�s,
forum[8] cum statu�s, templ�s, reliqu�sque aedifici�s p�blic�s.
Brev� tempore[4] omnia erant par�ta, iamque [5]qu�nta h�ra erat. Deinde
Lentulus et f�lius ad caup�nam proper�v�runt, quod fam�[6] et sit�[7]
urg�bantur. Ibi sub arboris umbr� s�d�runt et puer� imper�v�runt ut
sibi[8] cibum et v�num daret. Huic imperi�[9] puer celeriter p�ruit. Tum
laet� s�[10] ex lab�re ref�c�runt.
[Footnote 5: �qu�nta h�ra�. The Romans numbered the hours of the day
consecutively from sunrise to sunset, dividing the day, whether long
or short, into twelve equal parts.]
[Footnote 8: Observe that the reflexive pronoun �sibi� does not here
refer to the subject of the subordinate clause in which it stands,
but to the subject of the main clause. This so-called _indirect_ use
of the reflexive is often found in object clauses of purpose.]
� pr�m�s ann�s quidem I�lia ipsa f�lium suum docuerat, et P�blius n�n
s�lum [1]p�r� et Lat�n� loqu� poterat sed etiam commod� leg�bat et
scr�b�bat. Iam Ennium[2] ali�sque po�t�s l�gerat. Nunc v�r� P�blius
[3]duodecim ann�s hab�bat; itaque e� pater bonum magistrum, [4]virum
omn� doctr�n� et virt�te �rn�tissimum, par�vit, [5]qu� Graeca, m�sicam,
ali�sque art�s doc�ret. [6]Namque ill�s temporibus omn�s fer� gent�s
Graec� loqu�bantur. Cum P�bli� ali� puer�, Lentul� am�c�rum f�li�,[7]
disc�bant. Nam saepe apud R�m�n�s m�s erat [8]n�n in l�dum f�li�s
mittere sed dom� per magistrum doc�re. Cot�di� discipul� cum magistr� in
peristyl�[9] M�rc� dom�s sed�bant. Omn�s puer� bullam auream, or�ginis
honestae signum, in coll� ger�bant, et omn�s tog� praetext� amict�
erant, [10]quod n�ndum s�decim ann�s[11] n�t� sunt.
[Footnote 10: At the age of sixteen a boy laid aside the _bulla_
and the _toga praetexta_ and assumed _toga vir�lis_ or manly gown.]
[Footnote 1: Tablets were thin boards of wood smeared with wax. The
writing was done with a stylus, a pointed instrument like a pencil,
made of bone or metal, with a knob at the other end. The knob was
used to smooth over the wax in making erasures and corrections.]

great highway from Rome to Tarentum and Brundisium, with numerous
branches. Locate on the map the various towns that are mentioned in

[Footnote 14: The Lares were the spirits of the ancestors, and were
worshiped as household gods. All that the house contained was
confided to their care, and sacrifices were made to them daily.]

Tum v�ro [10]e� lab�rant� Vor�nus, cum sit inim�cus, tamen auxilium dat.
Ad hunc c�nfestim [11]� Pull�ne omnis multit�d� s� convertit. Gladi�

Cum iam sex h�r�s pugnatum esset[1] ac n�n s�lum v�r�s sed etiam t�la
R�m�n�s d�ficerent[1], atque host�s �crius inst�rent,[1] et v�llum

et, sign� dat�, ex castr�s �rumperent.[2] [3]Quod iuss� sunt faciunt, et
subit� ex omnibus port�s �rumpunt. Atque tam celeriter m�lit�s

lab�rantibus[9] auxilium daret. Eius impetum sustin�re n�n potu�runt
host�s[10] et omn�s terga vert�runt. E�s in fugam dat�s P�blius
subsec�tus est �sque ad fl�men Rh�num, quod ab e� loc� qu�nque m�lia

calamit�te f�nitimae gent�s cum certi�r�s factae essent, ad Caesarem
l�g�t�s m�s�runt et s� suaque omnia d�did�runt.
LXXII. PUBLIUS GOES TO GERMANY � ITS GREAT FORESTS AND STRANGE ANIMALS
Hoc iter in Germ�niam P�blius quoque f�cit et, [8]cum ibi mor�r�tur,
multa m�r�bilia v�dit. Praesertim v�r� ingentem silvam m�r�b�tur, quae
tantae magnit�dinis esse d�c�b�tur [9]ut n�m� eam tr�ns�re posset, nec
quisquam sc�ret aut initium aut f�nem. Qu� d� r� pl�ra cogn�verat �
m�lite qu�dam qu� �lim captus � Germ�n�s mult�s ann�s ibi incoluit.
Ille[10] d� silv� d�c�ns, "�nf�n�tae magnit�dinis est haec silva,"
inquit; "nee quisquam est [11]huius Germ�niae [12]qu� initium eius sciat
aut ad f�nem adierit. N�scuntur ill�c multa t�lia anim�lium genera
qu�lia reliqu�s in loc�s n�n inveniuntur. Sunt bov�s qu� �num[13] corn�
habent; sunt etiam anim�lia quae appellantur alc�s. Hae n�ll�s
cr�rum[14] articul�s habent. Itaque, s� forte concid�runt, s�s� �rigere
n�ll� mod� possunt. Arbor�s habent pr�[15] cub�libus; ad e�s s�
applicant atque ita recl�n�tae qui�tem capiunt. Tertium est genus e�rum
qu� �r� appellantur. H� sunt paul� min�r�s elephant�s.[16] Magna vis
e�rum est et magna v�l�cit�s. Neque homin� neque ferae parcunt.[17]"
[Illustration: VINEA]
[Illustration: BALLISTA]
[Footnote 16: �Negant�, etc., _they say that they have not_, etc.
�Negant� is equivalent to �d�cunt n�n�, and the negative modifies
�intulisse�, but not the remainder of the indirect statement.]
[Footnote 1: With �n� ... quidem� the emphatic word stands between
the two.]
[Footnote 2: The Civil War was caused by the jealousy and rivalry
between C�sar and Pompey. It resulted in the defeat and subsequent
death of Pompey and the elevation of C�sar to the lordship of the
Roman world.]
[Footnote 6: The Sacred Way was a noted street running along one
side of the Forum to the base of the Capitoline Hill, on whose
summit stood the magnificent temple of Jupiter Capitolinus. This
route was always followed by triumphal processions.]
[Footnote 11: �Simul�, etc., _At the same time those of the captives
who were the noblest._]

the Capitoline Hill.]

APPENDIX II
�1.� The subject of a finite verb is in the nominative and answers the
question Who? or What? �36.
_Agreement_
�2.� A finite verb must always be in the same person and number as its
subject. �28.
�3.� A predicate noun agrees in case with the subject of the verb.
�76.
�5.� Adjectives agree with their nouns in gender, number, and case.
�65.
�7.� A relative pronoun must agree with its antecedent in gender and
number; but its case is determined by the way it is used in its own
clause. �224.
_Prepositions_
_Genitive Case_
�11.� Words denoting a part are often used with the genitive of the
whole, known as _the partitive genitive_. �331.
_Dative Case_
�14.� The dative of the indirect object is used with the intransitive
verbs �cr�d�, �fave�, �noce�, �p�re�, �persu�de�, �resist�,
�stude�, and others of like meaning. �154.
�15.� Some verbs compounded with �ad�, �ante�, �con�, �d�, �in�,
�inter�, �ob�, �post�, �prae�, �pr�, �sub�, �super�, admit the dative
of the indirect object. Transitive compounds may take both an
accusative and a dative. �426.
�16.� The dative is used with adjectives to denote the object toward
which the given quality is directed. Such are, especially, those
meaning _near_, also _fit, friendly, pleasing, like_, and their
opposites. �143.
�17.� The dative is used to denote the _purpose_ or _end for which_;
often with another dative denoting _the person or thing affected_.
�437.
_Accusative Case_
�22.� Verbs of _making, choosing, calling, showing_, and the like, may
take a _predicate accusative_ along with the direct object. With the
passive voice the two accusatives become nominatives. �392.
_Ablative Case_
�33.� The word expressing the person from whom an action starts, when
not the subject, is put in the ablative with the preposition �� or
�ab�. This is called the _ablative of the personal agent_. �181.
�37.� 1. The gerund is a verbal noun and is used only in the genitive,
dative, accusative, and ablative singular. The constructions of
these cases are in general the same as those of other nouns. �406.1.
�44.� _Object clauses of result_ with �ut� or �ut n�n� are found after
verbs of effecting or bringing about. �386.
