The Latin Speaker: Easy Dialogues and Other Selections for Memorizing and Declaiming in the Latin Language (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Latin Speaker: Easy Dialogues and Other Selections for Memorizing and Declaiming in the Latin Language

The desire which has led to the compilation of this volume is that of infusing more life into the study of Latin, as pursued in our classical schools. Two means are employed to this end one, that of securing the presence of ideas in the mind while the words are being read or repeat ed; the other, that of habituating the student to the use of that emphasis and inflection in dcliv ery which indicate the living thought behind the speech, and without which all spoken language is dead.
