Harper William R. An Inductive Latin Primer

New York: American Book Company, 1891. — 424 p.This volume while intended, like the "Inductive Latin Method" of the same authors, for a first Latin book, is more elementary in character, and is suited to pupils less mature or less thoroughly trained than those to whom the "Method" is adapted. Pupils begin the study of Latin at such different ages and with such a difference in mental equipment that no one book can meet the needs of all. Those who have used the "Method" will find that the "Primer," while retaining all the prominent features of the former, differs from it in the following particulars:
The Lessons are shorter.
Formal grammar is reduced to a minimum, and is introduced more slowly.
No reference is made to the grammar during the early Lessons, and the book may be used without a separate grammar, if desired.
The exercises are easier and more copious.
More prominence is given to conversation upon the text.
The subject-matter is illustrated by ;naps, plans, and pictures.
A brief but comprehensive treatment of English Grammar, inductive in character and adapted to those who have never studied English Grammar before, and to the needs of those studying Latin, is bound with the Latin Lessons. This is constantly referred to in explaining Latin forms and syntax.
