Latin on the Direct Method

W.H.D. Rouse and R.B. Appleton

CHAPTER VI

The Fourth Year

Apologies that this chapter has not yet been digitalised.

The object of this book is severely practical ; the fourth year may therefore be dismissed in comparatively short space. The composition, which we will describe shortly, does include a new type of work, namely, the turning of a connected piece of English into Latin Prose, but the reading is much the same as that described for the last term of the third year.

Reading.

The class has now, however, been introduced to its first classical author, and will not experience the same difficulty in tackling its second. Consequently the master will not have to drill them into an appreciation of the author read, in anything like the degree which was necessary before. We suggested that it would be well for the master to know the first author read almost by heart ; this is, of course, no longer necessary. From the summary of work in Ch. II, the reader will see what authors are usually read during this year, and no more than a few words are necessary about each.

Cicero.

After the explanation and practice of the Latin Period in the composition lessons of the third year, Cicero will not be found so difficult as he would otherwise be. For a beginning one of the following speeches will probably be found most useful: Pro Rege Deiotaro; Pro Archia (a short but beautiful speech); Pro Sexto Roscio Amerino (a much longer but very interesting speech). The Catilines and the Pro Milone are better left till later.
