Thomas Kerchever Arnold's Practical Introduction to Latin Prose
Composition first appeared in 1839 and was reprinted in several
editions due to popular demand, being adopted as a textbook in
leading public schools. Ordained as a priest in 1827 after
graduating from Trinity College, Cambridge in 1821, Arnold had
studied both theology and classics, and wrote prolifically on both
subjects. His first school textbook was published in 1836 and
others followed steadily until his death in 1853. One of the chief
merits of Arnold's classical publications was his use of
contemporary works of German scholarship, to which he readily
acknowledged his debt. He produced, alongside Latin and Greek
textbooks, grammars of English, French, German, Italian, and
Hebrew, and editions of many Greek and Latin authors. This
introduction was designed to provide students with the basic tools
with which to construct sentences and includes exercises on syntax
and a vocabulary index.
