Excerpt from Passages for Translation Into Latin Prose

These passages for translation into Latin Prose will, it is hoped, by the help supplied in the notes and references, be fairly within the reach of boys in the Upper Forms of Public Schools. Only very few of them, so far as the Editor is aware, have appeared before for this purpose, but they have nearly all been practically tested.

The careless selection of pieces for translation without examining whether they are fitted for Latin Prose at all, and within the capacity of those to whom they are given, is in every way a serious mistake productive of much discouragement and disappointment.
