IT has been a common remark, that there is no classical author sufficiently easy to initiate youth in Latin Construction. Phædrus, Æsop, Cor derius, or Sententiæ Pueriles, are in the generality of schools given as introductory books. The two former are much too difficult; the elliptical forms of speech, which constitute the nature of a dialogue, render Corderius liable to the same objection; and the Sentences are placed in the last in alphabetical order, without regard to their difficulty, or the rules of syntax, on which they depend. It will be easily understood that no reference is here intended to those academies, where English translations or interpretations are used. Those fashionable methods may save the learner and the teacher some labor and trouble, but seldom can lead the former to substantial knowledge, or procure to the latter the pleasure arising from the solid improvement of his pupils.
