METHOD OF STUDY.

THE Course of Study to be pursued in the use of these Books, is fully developed in the Preface to each volume: but the principal directions there detailed may be thus briefly presented at one view.

1. Let the student of the Latin language commence with the FABLES OF PHÆDRUS; and by the aid of the Interlinear Translation and Notes, make himself thoroughly master of the sense of each Fable in the single Latin text;-so thoroughly, as to be able, not only to render the original, word for word, into English sentences, but also, when examined without the Book, to give the English for each Latin word, and again the Latin for each English, unassisted by the connexion of the story.

2. Having acquired from Phædrus a considerable number of common Latin words, without attempting their grammatical analysis, let him proceed, in exactly the same manner, with the First Book of OVID'S METAMORPHOSES, which will make a large addition to his vocabulary in words of less common use. The reading of this Book should be accompanied with the study of the Accidence, as given in the London Latin Grammar. Taking small portions at a time, as, for instance, the first declension of the Nouns with the first lesson of Ovid, the student should remark what words in the lesson appear to correspond in form to any of those cases,— and so on, till the distinction of the Parts of Speech is clearly understood, and the Tables of Declension are learned by heart.

3. The regular inflections of the language being thus acquired from the examples in the Grammar,-let him take up the First Book of VIRGIL'S ANEID, and after construing the Latin text, as in Phædrus and Ovid, according to the Interlinear Translation,-. let him learn to analyse each sentence from the supplementary volume of PARSING LESSONS; which will enable him, not only to
