PREFACE
With the Primer previously published, this Reader pro-
vides for a course of study leading up to Caesar or some
other author of like difficulty. Students who are to give
five years or more to preparatory Latin would normally
devote a year each to the Primer and the Reader ; but the
maturer pupils in the four-year course will cover easily in
their first year the work outlined in both books.
It ishoped too, that, aside from use in this regular
sequence, the Reader will be found to meet the needs of
many teachers who are looking for a carefully graded text
forsupplementary reading or for translation at sight.
The plan for " beginning Latin" embodied in Primer
and Reader differs from others most fundamentally, per-
haps, in that it concentrates so definitely upon the problem
of developing the student's power to read Latin ; and it is
quite in harmony with that general design that this second

book is called a " Reader," and that in it the Latin-English
exercises are massed at one point, with notes at the foot of
the page.
Teachers using the Reader can best cooperate toward
aim if each recitation period is divided
realizing the writer's
definitely into two parts, the first to be devoted, without
distraction, to the business of learning to read, the other
being reserved for grammatical and for composition
drill
work, oral or written. In this way, without loss in any

essential particular, it will be found possible to bring the
student along, by natural stages, to the point where he will

attack a simple passage from Caesar or Nepos, not as a

Chinese puzzle by laborious effort to be tortured into some-
thing remotely resembling sense, but as a story from the
reading of which some pleasure and profit is to be derived.
For the development of a system of Latin-English
exercises so graded as to serve the purpose for which the
Reader made, of course no Latin author was available
is
and the text, therefore, is necessarily for the most part
original. With the idea of stimulating interest, and to

bring into play the necessary vocabulary and syntax while
yet meeting halfway the many who do "not care for (for-
eign) war," the first hundred lessons have been made to
deal almost entirely with matters of American history, the
(1-45) summing up briefly and chronologically
initial series
the main events of the years 1492-1783, and the second

group (46-100) comprising short anecdotes assembled
without regard for chronological sequence. Next follow
two narratives from Caesar simplified (101-125), and the
concluding series (126-140) is made up of selections from
the original text of Caesar, Nepos, Suetonius, Sallust, and
Cicero. This final group, of course, is not a part of the
gradatim plan, but was added that the student might have
the satisfaction of reading some "real Latin. " The pas-
sage from Suetonius (131), chiefly because of its large
vocabulary, will probably be found too difficult for most
pupils ; if so, the intrinsic interest of the passage may
make it seem worth the teacher's while to undertake a
translation for the class.
With a view to discouraging the habit of constant re-
course to the general vocabulary, a series of lesson prepa-
rationshas been provided in the form of a word list
showing the important new words in each successive exer-
cise moreover, with the exception of proper names and
:

numerals, all words which are used in but a single lesson

are defined in the footnotes on that exercise. For teach-
ers who are using the Reader as a text for sight reading,
the cross references of the notes may prove helpful as pro-
viding a means of locating familiar material with which
to elucidate the lesson of the day.
In preparing the Latin text, I have derived some help
from the handbooks in common use, but my main reliance
has been Merguet's " Lexikon zu den Schriften Casars."
I would also acknowledge gratefully the generous help of
my colleague, Dr. M. E. Deutsch, who has read a large

part of the text and given me the benefit of several valuable
suggestions.

TO THE TEACHER
From the present vigorous discussion touching methods
of Latin instruction seems very clear that there is increas-
it
ing dissatisfaction with a course of study which begins with

memorizing forms and numerous abstract rules, and ends
(for students who do not persevere beyond the Caesar year)
with a microscopic analysis of very limited portions of
Latin text. From the disciplinary point of view, even
such a course of study is, beyond doubt, profitable ; but it
seems no large measure be

likely that criticism will in
disarmed, until more tangible results can be shown in the
matter of the student's power to read the language.
In framing the Primer and Reader, therefore, the author
has endeavored to formulate a plan for " First Year Latin,"
which, while retaining the chief merits of the old method,
will at the same time hold the pupil's interest, and lay the
foundation for a real power to read simple Latin at sight.
To meet successfully these additional requirements, two
things seem beyond all others essential, namely :
(i) To provide abundant easy reading matter, carefully

graded both in vocabulary and syntax ; and
(2) To relieve the reading lessons of the dragging
weight of constant, minute, grammatical analysis.
In conformity with these ideas, the Reader, as well as
the Primer, has been provided with a long gradatim series
of easy and interesting Latin stories, which, as stated in
the Preface, are designed to be handled briskly in class,
with a minimum of grammatical comment. Adequate time
viii FIRST LATIN READER
will thus remain for discussion of the material provided for

daily practice in composition, and here the teacher will find
a text for all needful grammatical drill.
With the helps provided in the way of footnotes and Word

List,some classes will doubtless be able to handle many of
the Latin stories of the Reader without previous prepara-
tion and, whenever this is the case, the practice should in
;
every way be encouraged for a story always has added ;
charm when taken up for the first time, especially if it be

not made the subject of unnecessary grammatical discus-
sion. As for daily practice in composition, the idea will
seem to some, at first sight, impracticable ; but, as a matter
of fact, it is really the most practical method of all. For
students who are required to write but once a week usu-
ally detest the task ; whereas those who have daily prac-
tice gain a facility which renders the work a pleasure.
In working out the composition exercises of the Reader,
the pupil should be urged to use as little as possible the
general English-Latin vocabulary at the end of the vol-
ume. For frequent recourse to this source of help there is
m
little for, aside from numerals, proper names, and

excuse ;
the material supplied in the footnotes, the whole series of

composition lessons calls for only about three hundred
Latin words, in addition to those carried over from the
Primer moreover, the footnotes give much help in the
;
way of paraphrase and cross-reference.

It has not seemed wise, either in the Primer or in the
Reader, to introduce many abstract rules regarding Latin

style. Frequent help, however, is given in the footnotes
of the latter book and the student, through abundant read-
;
ing, will learn much by induction. The teacher will need

to watch for, and curb, individual peculiarities here and
there but it will be found generally that this matter takes
;
FIRST LATIN READER ix
care of itself surprisingly well, so far as fundamentals are

concerned. And, at this stage of the work, correctness of
syntax is far more important than minute refinement of
style.
In cases where the Reader is taken up after the lapse of
the long summer vacation, it is very desirable that the
work of the new school year be begun with a review

of forms and of the few last lessons of the Primer; other-
wise the opening lessons of the Reader will seem to the
pupil unusually difficult. Even with this help, it may
prove in some cases that the first of the English-Latin
Exercises of Reader require more than the usual
the
amount of study if so, thorough work should be done at
;
this point, even though the reading for a time outruns the
composition. Where more mature classes are using the
Primer and Reader together as texts for a single year's
work, it has been founc. that the Primer can be covered
easily at the rate of a Lesson a day. Such classes will
naturally handle many of the Latin stories of the Reader
at sight; and the composition work of that volume can be
reduced one third by omitting the last paragraph of each
Exercise.

Navis
The above illustration is taken from a Pompeian wall painting.

It is interesting particularly as showing the rather primitive steer-
ing-gear used by the Romans even for heavy ships of war. In large
vessels two helmsmen worked together, each controlling a single
sweep. On small boats one man attended to the steering, using
either one oar or two, according to the construction of the craft.

A Remarkable Deliverance
Hoc fere tempore alio in oppido latebat imperator quldam,

oppidum oppugnarent.
Quibus ille rebus vehementercommotus, exaedibus statim

Dum haec geruntur, Indi quidam longinqui, quibus erat

simply huge catapults, some of which threw stones or masses of
metal, others projected heavy darts.

Musical Instruments
Among the ancients, music was a comparatively undeveloped

art. The scantiness of the music of the stage is indicated by the
above scene from a comedy, where the actor in the foreground is
manipulating a tambourine (tympanuni), while another in the rear

plays upon double pipes {tibiae).
In the Roman army, music was not employed as an accompani-

ment for the march ; but various trumpets were used for sounding
signals. In the picture below may be seen the long straight
trumpet (tuba) used by the infantry.

Captivity among the Indians
Priusquam pr5vinciae Americanae validae sunt factae,

A Battle against Great Odds
5 In quodam lacii maximo, cuius in lltore positum est oppi-

dum Taeconderoga, acriter quondam ab Americanis cum
Britannis pugnatum est. Americanis parvae erant naves
et paucae ; at dux Britannicus, qui facile e Canada copias
adferre poterat, multas naves longas summa diligentia In-
iostructas paraverat; se enim Taeconder5gam brevl expu-
gnaturum sperabat.
Imperator tamen colonorum, vir maximae virtutis, etsi
numero erat mult5 inferior, committere proelium minime
dubitavit; sed cum horas multas esset pugnatum noxque
15 iam adesset, naves vix nabant Americanae, telaque paene
defecerant. Quo quidem tempore BritannI, noctem veriti,
proelio destiterunt sed ad ancoram haud procul consiste-
;
bant, ne colon! per tenebras effugere conarentur.

At AmericanI nocte intempesta, lucernls extinctis, silentio
2odederunt vela, et magno circuitu hostes vltaverunt. Itaque
mane, cum BritannI proelium redintegrare vellent, vix

A Night Attack
Bello prlmo, quod a Britannis cum Americanls gestum

est, in flumine quodam Carolaenae Ulterioris insula parva
praesidio Britannico tenebatur : interim dominus insulae,
vir locuples reique publicae amantissimus, moleste scilicet
ioferebat castra hostium in praedio suo collocata esse, eo
magis quod mllites interdum se insolenter gerebant.
Postremo American! cpnstituerunt adverso flumine navi-
gare copiasque Britannicas, si possent, ex Insula expellere.
Itaque clam profecti, navibus nocte intempesta ad Insulam
15 silentio impetum acerrimum subito fecerunt. Qua

A Choice of Evils
Parvo in oppido Novae Britanniae habitabat quidam

agricola, cui erant liberi octo. Is 5lim, cum subito nuntia-
tum esset Indos appropinquare, ex agrls ad bona liberosque
ioservandos sum ma celeritate properavit ; aegra enim domi
uxor iacebat.
Quo igitur cum pervenisset, Hberis convocatis atque ad
castellum proximum statim praemissis, ipse uxorem ad
iter parare conatus est. Sed iam in conspectu erant Indi,
15 neque diutius ulla erat salutis spes. Itaque uxore bonisque
relictls, agricola, qui iam an tea statuerat cum llberis sibi
vlvendum aut pro els moriendum esse, equum conscendit,

atque ad castellum versus quam celerrime contendit. Ll-
beros mox adsecutus est, et omnes, etsi Indi vestigiis

STORIES FROM CAESAR RETOLD
THE WINTER OF 54-53 B.C.
LESSON 101
In 58 B.C. Julius Caesar became governor of northern Italy and the

vast country extending from the Alps to the North Sea, and spent the
next nine years in disciplining various tribes of that great territory.
Unexpected Trouble
Caesar, cum in Gallia bellum gerebat, totam aestatem

hostes premere solitus est, turn, ut vires mllitum conserva-

regionum hieme asperrimum est; quare ille iudicabat

anni menses in hibernis milites retinendos esse. Olim,

cum translsset in Britanniam multosque dies cum incolis

The standards carried in the Roman army were numerous and

No disgrace was so deep and terrible as to have the eagle fall into
the hands of the enemy.

AN EPISODE FROM THE CIVIL WAR
(Caesar, De Belld Civili, III, 95-98)
LESSON 129
When, in 49 B.C., Caesar marched some of his troops south into Italy,
and thus precipitated the civil war between himself and Pompey (cf. the
episode in Lessons 1 17-125), Pompey was taken by surprise, and re-
tired into Greece. In the decisive battle of Pharsalus, fought there in
the following year, Caesar gained the first advantage, driving the Pom-
peians back to the shelter of their ramparts.

THE DEATH OF CAESAR

(Suetonius, fulius, 81, 82)
LESSON 131
As a result of the civil war, Caesar became master of the Roman

world. Many did not approve of his absolute power, and a plot was
formed to take his life. As he left home for the senate house on the
fatal day, some one pushed into his hand a document telling of the con-
spiracy but he did not stop to examine it.

THE FATE OF HANNIBAL

(Nepos, Hannibal, 12, 13)
LESSON 132
The second Punic War, waged between the Romans and Carthaginians
from 218 to 201 B.C., ended in a complete victory for the Romans.
The latter, however, were suspicious that Hannibal, the most famous
general of the Carthaginians, was simply biding his time to renew the
war under more favorable conditions ;
and so they desired to arrest and
hold him as a prisoner. By hastening
Hannibal escaped into exile,
for some years, and improved the opportunity to stir up a great deal
of trouble for the Romans in the East.

CATILINE'S CONSPIRACY
(Sallust. Be Hum Cati Una e, 40, 41, 60)
LESSON 134
In 63 B.C. Marcus Cicero (brother of the Quintus Cicero who sub-

sequently figured in the events described in Lesson 108 if.) had to deal
with a rather alarming conspiracy which aimed to revolutionize the gov-
ernment of Rome. The chief conspirator, Catiline, took the field with
an army, while Lentulus, who was secretly sympathy with him, su-
in
pervised matters in the city. One day Lentulus noticed there two Gallic
envoys who had come to Rome to complain that Roman officials were
oppressing their people, and he thereupon conceived the idea of
further embarrassing the government by inducing these Gauls to stir
up a revolt among their countrymen.

Marcus Tullius Cicero
The first of his family to reach the consulship, Cicero won some
fame as a statesman by suppressing the conspiracy of Catiline but ;
his chief and lasting distinction was along literary lines. In oratory
he was hardly rivaled in his own generation and his writings are a
;
priceless possession.

LESSON 136
The envoys, pretending that it would be difficult to persuade their

countrymen to revolt unless the matter were put into writing, easily
secured thus from the conspirators evidence sufficient to convict nine
of the ringleaders, five of whom were promptly executed in the public
prison. Shortly afterward, in the north country, the army of Catiline
(see the note at the head of Lesson 134) was brought to bay by the
government forces, and he chose to try conclusions with a division
which on the day of battle was under the command of a veteran officer
named Petreius.

ON THE EASTERN FRONTIER

(Cicero, Ad Fa??iilidres XV, i 4)
LESSON 137
About ten years after the suppression of the conspiracy of Catiline,

Cicero, much against his inclination, was appointed governor of Cilicia
and neighboring districts. Below are given extracts from a letter which
he wrote from the east to a friend at Rome, telling some of his ex-
periences as a provincial officer.
Cum in provinciam pr. K. Sext. venissem, et propter

WORD LIST
The following list shows the new words introduced into each successive
reading lesson. Aside from numerals, words found in but one lesson are
treated in the notes on that lesson, and do not appear here. For proper
names, the general vocabulary should be consulted.
The designation (*) indicates that the word so marked occurs in four or
more lessons.
English words in italics are derived from, or otherwise related to, the Latin
words opposite which they stand. They may be found useful in helping
to to
recall the meaning of the Latin words as given in the general vocabulary. 1
1 Many Latin words are formed with the help of a prefix. Though the force of
this prefix does not stand out clearly in every case, it is worth while to become
familiar with the general meanings of the following :
—
a-, ab- : away, aside, off.
ad- : to, into, near, by, at.
circum-: around.
con-: with, together (con- being a form of cum). Often denotes completion (e.g.
conficio [facio]), or energy of action {e.g. contendo).
de- : from, down.
dis-: from, away, separately.
e-, ex-: forth, out, from, up. Often denotes success {e.g. expugno), or energy of
action {e.g. excipio [capio]).
in-: upon, on, in.
in- : not, or un-.
inter-: between.
0D-: before, against.
per- : through, across. Often intensive, very, exceedingly.
prae- : before, in advance, over.
praeter-: by, past.
pro-: before, forth, forward, out, fore-»

re-: back, again.
sub- : under.
trans- : across, over.
Some of the above prefixes take different forms according to the first letter of
the word with which they are combined. The following alternative forms should
in particular be noted : a-, ab- (abs-) ; ad- (ac-, af-, al-, ap-, ar-, as-, a[s]-, at-)
con- (col-, com-, co-) ; dis- (dif-, di-) ; e-, ex- (ec-, ef-, e[x]-) ; in- (ig-, il-, im-)
inter- (intel-) ; ob- (oc-, op-) ; re- (red-) ; sub- (sus-, su[s]-) ; trans- (tra-).
In some words united with these prefixes a vowel is regularly altered, e.g.:
a or e becomes i; as -ficio (for facio) and -tineo (for teneo).
ae becomes i as -cido (for caedd cf. caedes) and -iquus (for aequus in iniquus)

ABLATIVE OF TIME WHEN AND WITHIN WHICH — REL-

ATIVE CLAUSES OF PURPOSE — I-STEMS
MODEL SENTENCES
Caesar aestate bellum gerebat, Caesar used to wage war
in the summer time.
Quinque diebus imperator captus est, Within five days
the general was captured.
Rule. Time When and Time Within Which are regu-

larly expressed by the ablative case, without a preposition.
Note i. The ablative of Time When has various translations;

thus, in addition to " in " (first) model sentence we may have die
vicesimo, " on the twentieth day," hora decima, " at the tenth
hour," etc.
Note 2. The ablative of Time Within Which must be distin-
guished carefully from the already familiar accusative of Extent of

Time (e.g. quinque dies imperatorem secuti sunt, "For ftve days
they followed their commander ").
MODEL SENTENCES
Miles missus est, qui Caesarem moneret, A soldier was
sent to. warn Caesar (/it. who should warn Caesar).
1 These numbers indicate the Reading Lessons to which an Exercise corresponds.

Equos emimus, quos mittamus, We are buying horses

to send {lit. wHich we may send).
Sagittas dabo, quibus ursa occidatur, I shall provide ar-
rows with which to kill the bear {lit. with which the bear
may be killed).
Rule. Purpose may 'be expressed by a relative clause
with its verb in the present or imperfect subjunctive.
Note. Observe the similarity between ut-clauses of purpose

and relative clauses of purpose, noting particularly that, in both,
the tense of the subjunctive is determined in exactly the same way.

Remark. In expressions of purpose, the relative is preferred
when the governing clause contains a more or less indefinite ex-
pression {e.g. "a soldier," " arrows," etc.) to serve as antecedent.
The relative construction should be written as often as possible,
until it is thoroughly familiar.

EXERCISE I 201
I-STEMS
It will be recalled that third declension nouns fall into
two classes, (i) Consonant Stems, and (2) I-Stems. The

I-Stems include
a) Masculines and feminines in -is which have the same

number of syllables in the nominative and genitive
singular (e.g. navis, gen. navis).
b) Feminines in -es which have the same number of syl-

lables in the nominative and genitive singular (e.g.
valles, gen. vallis).
e) Neuters in -e, -al, and -ar.
Furthermore, the plural of
d) Masculines and feminines terminating in -ns or -rs, or

consisting of a single syllable ending in either -s
or -x preceded by a consonant.
Note. Memorize the above statement just as it stands ; and

find, in the Vocabulary of this Exercise, a word which falls
under (d).
Remark i. To become thoroughly familiar with the I-Stem

endings, it is necessary to write them frequently, even when op-
tional (e.g. -Is for the accusative plural of masculines and feminines).
And, in this connection, the inflection of I-Stem adjectives {e.g.
omnis) must not be forgotten.
Remark 2. As indicated in the Primer, the ablative singular

of masculine and feminine I-Stems varies too much to allow of
formulating a general rule. Of the words used in the Primer,

collis, hostis, nubes, ovis, piscis, and valles have -e in the ablative ;
avis has either -e or -i ; ignis and navis have either -1 or -e; and
securis has -1.

Rule. Degree of Difference is expressed by tJie ablative

case.
Remark. The ablative of Degree of Difference has many

applications in Latin, e.g. multo maior, " much greater" (Jit.
" greater by much ") ; but for the present the discussion is limited
to time expressions.
MODEL SENTENCE
Agricolam regem fecerunt, They made a farmer king.
Rule. Verbs of Makings Appointing, Naming, etc.,
may take a predicate accusative along with tlieir direct

object.
Note. In the corresponding passive construction, the direct

object, of course, appears as subject of the verb, and the predicate
noun too stands in the nominative ; e.g. Marcus rex puerorum
appellatus est, " Marcus was called king of the boys " (cf. the
familiar predicate nominative with forms of the verb sjm).

peculiar in the genitive and dative singular ;
(consult, if necessary,
the Note on p. 352). With regard to the inflection of pars, see
the statement on p. 201.
Note 2. Homo is the general term for " man " in the sense of
"individual," or "human being." Vir, on the other hand, is a
proper designation for a warrior or hero ; or it may be used to
contrast " man" with "woman," "child," or the like.
Note 3. While both tutus and incolumis signify "safe," the

former properly means " sheltered," and the latter "unharmed "
;
e.g. locus tutus, " a safe (sheltered) spot," but imperator incolumis
est, "the general is safe (unharmed)."
THE FUTURE ACTIVE PARTICIPLE

The future active participle of any verb may be formed
by changing the ending of the perfect passive participle
to -urus, e.g. amatus, amaturus, -a, -urn ; habitus, habiturus,
-a, -urn ; etc. Turning Forms, noteto the Summary of
form
particularly that deponents, as well as other verbs,
this participle and observe also that sum has the form
;
futurus, though (by reason of its meaning) it is a verb

that lacks the perfect passive participle.
Remark. Fugio, too, though lacking the perfect passive parti-

ciple, yet has the future active form fugiturus, -a, -um.
EXERCISE II 205
Used in connection with various forms of the verb sum,

the future active participle designates an action as about to
take place at the time indicated by the form of sum; e.g :
The army is about to break camp,

The army is on the point of break-
Exercitus castra motu-
ing camp,
rus EST,
The army is ready to break camp,
etc.
The armies zvere about to break

camp,
Exercitus castra moturl The armies were on the point of
ERAXT, breaking camp,
The armies were ready to break
camp, etc.
TRANSLATION
3. i. The king was on the point of sending a part of
the other 1 army to 2 capture the unknown commander; but
after a few hours he set out across the mountains, and on
the fifth day arrived home. 2. The settlers, 3 who were

EXERCISE III 207
EXERCISE III
(5-6)
TENSES OF THE INFINITIVE IN INDIRECT DISCOURSE

Using voco as a type, the six infinitives of a Latin verb
are as follows :
Active Passive
Present vocare vocari

Perfect vocavisse vocatus (-a, -um) esse
Future vocaturus (-a, -um) esse vocatum in
Note. The new forms in this list can, for the most part, be
learned very readily ; for the perfect infinitive active is found by
dropping the final -m of vocavissem, the perfect passive is formed
by adding esse to vocatus, and the future active by adding esse to
vocaturus. The future passive infinitive is a peculiar and little-
used formation ; its first element is the accusative of a verbal noun

of the same derivation as the perfect passive participle.
Of the three infinitives of deponent verbs, the future needs

to be made a subject of special study. In Exercise II it was
pointed out that deponents have a future active participle ;
and it now remains to note that, utilizing this participle, they

make a future infinitive that is active (not passive) in form.
Thus, the three infinitives of moror are: present, morari
perfect, moratus (-a, -um) esse ;but future, moraturus (-a,
-um) esse.
With the verbs here form all the infin-
cited as models,
itives of habeo, mitto, rapio, and audio also of polliceor, ;
proficiscor, patior, and adorior. Aside from fio, irregular

verbs call for little attention in this connection.
Rule. In Indirect Discourse the various tenses of the in-
finitive designate action as present, past, orfuture from the

point of vie w of the subject of the governing verb of saying,
thinking, hearing, etc.
:
Thus, to choose the tense of the infinitive correctly in

indirect discourse, only one thing is necessary ; namely, to
put one's self in the position of the person who says, thinks,
or hears, and thus discover whether he regards something
as in progress (present infinitive), or as already accomplished
(perfect infinitive), or as yet to be (future infinitive).
MODEL SENTENCES
Colonus dicit, The settler says
(i) nautam vocare, that the sailor is calling.

(2) nautam vocavisse, that the sailor has called.
(3) nautam vocaturum esse, that the sailor will call (is
going to call, etc.).
Colonus dixit, The settler said

(1) nautas vocari, that the sailors were being called.
(2) nautas vocatos esse, that the sailors had been called.
(3) nautas vccatum in, that the sailors would be called.
Remark. Note that in the perfect passive and the future active
infinitives the participles agree with the accusative subject ; whereas
the verbal noun of the future infinitive passive suffers no change.
It is only when the governing verb of saying, thinking,

hearing, etc. is in a past tense that there is likely to be any
difficulty in determining how the subject of that verb views
the action of the indirect discourse. If doubt arises in
such a case, recast the sentence in the Latin form, eg.
The soldier said
(1) that the sailors were on the way =

the sailors to be on the way (in progress).
(2) that they had met the general =
them to have met the general (accomplished).
(3) that they would arrive tired out =
them to be going to arrive tired out (yet to be).
EXERCISE III 209
Remark. Observe sentence (2) with special care, noting how

the English is obliged to use the pluperfect tense ("had met") in
order to show clearly that the meeting is past from the point of
view of the soldier •
and remember that it is only when the per-
son who speaks, thinks, hears, etc. so regards an action that the
perfect infinitive is to be used. If this fact is firmly fixed in the
mind, there will be little danger of confusing the types of sentence
illustrated by (1) and (2).
Note. The present infinitive found with verbs like volo {e.g.
volo "I want to go ") is known as the Complementary Infini-
ire,
tive, because it " fills out " a phrase. The complementary infini-
tive, on occasion, may have a subject accusative (e.g. iubeo te ire,
" I order you to go ").
As contrasted with this, the infinitive in indirect discourse should
always have a subject accusative, and any one of the three tenses
may be called for. Hence, to write correctly, it is absolutely essen-
to know whether a given verb governs the complementary in-
tial
finitive or whether it is construed with indirect discourse.

Including words used in the Primer, the following verbs govern-
ing the complementary infinitive have already been introduced :
coepi, cogo, conor, iubeo, malo, nolo, paro, patior, possum, and volo.
Those governing indirect discourse are : audio, cognosco, dico, doceo,
lego, polliceor, puto, and sentio. In case of doubt, consult the List
of Verb Constructions at the end of the book.

Above all, do not confuse either alter or alius with the plural
ceteri, -ae, -a.
Remark. The plural alii, as contrasted with ceteri, signifies

" (some) other": i.e. alii milites, "(some) other soldiers"; but
ceteri milites, " (all) the other soldiers."

(7-9)
DUM WITH THE PRESENT INDICATIVE
MODEL SENTENCE
Dum haec fiunt, hostes subito castra adorti sunt, While
this was happening, the enemy suddenly attacked the
camp.
Rule. Dum (" while ") is used with the present indica-
tive to describe a past action that was in progress when
something else took place.
Note. It will be observed that dum with the present indica-

tive performs almost the same function as does cum with the im-
perfect subjunctive. But there is a slight difference which must
be noted ; e.g. :
Cum in horto essem, laetus eram, " While I was in the garden,
I was happy."
Dum haec domi fiunt, Caesar oppidum hostium cepit, " While
this was happening at home, Caesar took a town of the enemy."
In the first of the above sentences, the cum-clause indicates, not
time merely, but circutnstaiice as well, i.e. it implies that being in
the garden was the cause of the speaker's pleasant frame of
mind ; in the other sentence, the dum-clause shows that the
two events there mentioned were contemporaneous, but does not
necessarily hint at any other connection between them. Watch
carefully for opportunities to use the dum-construction.

Note i. E, ex in the sense of "of" is found with numerals

(particularly unus, duo, andand with the pronoun quidam
tres), ;
e.g. unus e puerls, "one of the boys"; quidam e militibus, "(a

certain) one of the soldiers."
Note 2. For soleo" the translation " be accustomed " is rather
formal ; but it other renderings of the word
gives the key to all ;
e.g. ire solebat, " he usually went," " it was his custom to go," "he
used\.o go," etc. In learning the principal parts of this verb, observe
that it is a semi-deponent; i.e. its meaning is active throughout,
but in the perfect tenses only passive forms are found. The full
list of such semi-deponents is : audeo, fldo, gaudeo, and soleo.

THE GERUND — DATIVE OF POSSESSION
Unlike the gerundive, which is an adjective, the gerund

is a (verbal) noun, and is found only in the genitive, da-
tive, accusative, and ablative singular ; e.g.
Gen. vocandi
Dat. vocando
Ace. vocandum
Abl. vocando
With voco as a model, construct the gerund of one regular

verb of each conjugation. Deponents form their gerund
in the usual way. Among the irregular verbs, note that
the gerund of eo is eundi, eundo, etc., and that fio has
no gerund forms.
MODEL SENTENCE
Pugnando urbem ceperunt, By fighting they got posses-

sion of the city.
Note. For the present, the discussion is limited to the ablative

case of the gerund. In the model sentence, observe how pugnando
expresses Means, just as the ablative of any other noun might do.
Remark. An English word like " fighting " may be either a

verbal noun or a present participle. In dealing with such forms,
therefore, care must be taken to determine whether they are
nouns or participles before attempting to translate them into
Latin.
2i6 FIRST LATIN READER
MODEL SENTENCE

horse.
Rule. The fact of possession may be indicated by the

use of the dative case in connection with a form of the

Remark. This method of indicating possession should be em-

ployed in preference to the use of habeo until it is thoroughly
familiar.

Note i. When cum develops the full causal sense " since,"
"as," it is no longer and pluperfect
restricted to the imperfect
subjunctive, but may be followed by any tense of that mood.
Note 2. On the genitive (and vocative) form StandisI, see

Notes 1 on pp. 345-346. The other cases of the name,
and 2
of course, proceed regularly (Standisio, Standisium, etc.).
Note 3. Tamen should not be placed first in a setitence ; but

it often stands first in its clause, when balancing a word like quam-
quam in a preceding clause ; e.g. Agricola, quamquam iratus est,
tamen filium vocare non vult, " Although the farmer is angry,
still he is not willing to call his son." In no case should tamen
be placed later than second in its sentence or clause.
SEQUENCE OF TENSES
Of the constructions already familiar, the purpose clause
most clearly illustrates a fundamental law running through
all Latin sentence-structure, namely, that the tense of the
subjunctive in subordinate clauses is influenced by the
tense of the verb of the governing clause. This funda-
mental principle is known as the Law of Sequence of
Tenses. It may be summarized as follows :
Rule. In dependent subjunctive clauses, tlie present or

perfect tense is required when the verb of the governing
clause is a Present, Future, or Future Perfect {Primary
Sequence) ; the imperfect or pluperfect is required when the
verb of tlie governing clause is an Imperfect, Perfect, or P he-
perfect ( Secondary Sequence).
:
Note. With rare exceptions, the above rule holds good what-
ever the mood of the governing verb may be (for we often have,
for example, subjunctive dependent upon subjunctive). It is the
tense of the governing verb that is the decisive thing.
The following table illustrates the Law of Sequence of

Tenses as applied to clauses introduced by cum in the
causal sense
Cum virl vocent, Since the

7 men are calling, ego vocare nolo, I do
3 i
Cum virl vocaverint, Since not care to call.
the men have called,
Cum viri vocarent, Since the

men were calling, ego vocare nolui, I did
Cum virl vocavissent, Since not care to call.
the men had called,
Note i. While the general principle illustrated above accounts

equally well for the tense of the subjunctive in cum-clauses and
in purpose clauses, it is well to note here, at the very outset, that
the force of the present and imperfect subjunctive in purpose
clauses somewhat peculiar.
is In cum-clauses (see above) the
present and imperfect subjunctive denote action contemporaneoits
with that of the governing verb but, since a purpose is some-
thing looked forward to (e.g. venit, ut emeret, " He came that he
might buy "), the present and imperfect subjunctive in purpose
clauses necessarily have to do with action that is future from the
point of view of the governing verb.
Note 2. The perfect and pluperfect tenses of the subjunctive

(not employed in purpose clauses) designate an action as ante-
cedent to that of the governing verb ; see the second and fourth of
the sentences in the table above. If the forms of the perfect sub-
junctive are not thoroughly familiar, they should be reviewed at
this point.

THE ABLATIVE ABSOLUTE

MODEL SENTENCES
Colonis interfectis, Indi villas statim incenderunt, After
killing the settlers (the settlers having been killed), the
Indians at once fired the farmhouses.
Venatore duce milites flumen transierunt, With a hunter
as guide (a hunter [being] guide), the soldiers crossed the
river.
The above sentences illustrate the two most important

varieties of the ablative absolute construction. The first
EXERCISE VII 223
type, consisting of anoun and the perfect passive participle,

is in the other, two nouns in the abla-
already very familiar ;
tive case are simply placed side by side, without any verbal
form to connect them.
Remark i. In ablative absolutes of the first type, the present

participle is occasionally used, with or without an object ; e.g.
Indis urbem incendentibus, naves ad litus appropinquabant, "As the

Indians were firing the town, the ships were approaching the
shore." And an occasional variant on the second type is afforded
by ablative absolutes made up of a noun and an adjective ; e.g.
Nautls incolumibus naves redierunt, " With sailors unharmed (the
sailors [being] safe) the ships returned.
Remark 2. Since the literal renderings of the ablative abso-

lute are so crude, it is almost always necessary to represent this con-
struction in some other way in English ; see the examples above.

:
THE GERUNDIVE
Remember that, in distinction from the gerund (verbal
noun), the gerundive is an adjective, e.g. vocandus, -a, -um,
habendus, -a, -um, etc. ; also that, in connection with forms
of the verb sum, the gerundive indicates that a thing must,
ought, should, or needs to be done, eg.
Mulier vocanda est, The woman must be called.

Puto mulierem vocandam esse, think that the I woman
ought to be called.
Caesar sequendus est, Caesar should be followed.
Note particularly the above examples, observ-
last of the
ing that the gerundive of a deponent has the regular passive

force. For the verb eo, see the Summary of Forms, p.
374 ;and note that fio has no gerundive.
Remark. Deponent verbs have peculiarities that demand very
careful study. It has already been pointed out that for their
future infinitive they choose the active form (e.g. secuturus esse) ;
and to this is now added the interesting observation that their

gerundive is passive in meaning as well as in form.

EXERCISE IX
(22-24)
THE INDIRECT OBJECT WITH CERTAIN VERBS

It is a fact already familiar that, in addition to an
accusative, verbs of giving, saying, and the like may
govern also a dative of the indirect object ; e.g. canem
puero dat, " He is giving a dog to the boy."
Somewhat different, however, is another important
class of verbs, which, while lacking a direct object, yet
govern a dative of the indirect object. It happens, un-
fortunately, that verbs of this latter class are generally
most conveniently represented in English by expressions
that suggest the use of a direct object or of some other sub-
stitute for the dative which the Latin words require ; and it
therefore becomes necessary to memorize a selected list of

these Latin verbs, and to fix firmly in mind the fact that
they govern the dative case.
Rule. Credo, faveo, fido, ignosco, impero, invideo,

Irascor, minor, noceo, opitulor, parco, pareo, persuadeo,
placeo, resisto, servio, and suscenseo govern a dative of the
indirect object.
Note. Taking these verbs in the above order, they may be

rendered conventionally :
" trust,* favor, confide, pardon, com-
mand, envy, be angry, threaten, injure, aid, spare, obey, persuade,
please, resist, serve, be offended." As intimated above, hardly

any of these renderings suggest an indirect object, the reason
being (at least in great part) that they are not exact equivalents
for the Latin verbs ; thus, noceo, which iscommonly translated
"injure," really signifies "be injurious," "work injury," or the
like — meanings which obviously call for the dative case. For the
* When credo means " believe (a thing)," it takes a direct object.
present, only the Latin verbs should be memorized. The English
meanings are best taken up as the verbs are introduced into the
Exercise Vocabularies.
Remark. For the class of verbs here under discussion, the

passive construction (including the gerundive' is peculiar, and
should not be attempted until it has been explained in a later
Exercise.

with the greatest difficulty 27 he carried to the ship. A

DATIVE OF AGENCY — THE GERUNDIVE IN PURPOSE

CLAUSES
MODEL SENTENCE
Oppidan! mihi monendi sunt, must warn the towns-

I
people {lit. the townspeople must be warned by me).
Rule. With the gerundive and a form of the verb sum,

Agency is expressed by the dative case.
Note. When this construction occurs in indirect discourse,

and the agent is the same as the third person subject of a govern-
ing verb of saying, thinking, etc., the reflexive pronoun must be
used, e.g. Nauta putat oppidanos sibi monendos esse, " The sailor
thinks that he ought to warn the townspeople."
Remark. From this point on, special care must be taken to

keep clear and distinct the three following constructions :
(1) the
ablative of Means, (2) the dative of Agency, and (3) the regular
Agency construction (namely, the ablative with a, ab).
MODEL SENTENCE
Per silvam ad castra adorienda veniebant, They were
coming through the woods to attack the camp.
Rule. Purpose may be expressed by a plirase made up

of ad and the accusative\ with a gerundive modifier.
Note. This method of expressing purpose is suited to sen-

tences in which the verb of the governing clause expresses motion
(cf. the model sentence).
Remark i. Observe carefully that, in this construction, the

gerundive is still an adjective. Thus, in the model sentence, ad
governs castra, which, in turn, is modified by adorienda.
Remark 2. Note, too, that when used in a prepositional phrase

expressing purpose, the gerundive so far lacks its customary force
of " should," M ought," etc., that such a rendering would make very
poor sense.
Remark 3. Verbs of the class described in Exercise IX {e.g.
persuadeo) are almost wholly defective in the gerundive, and can-

not be used in purpose clauses of the above type.

Note i. Most of the uses of the dative thus far illustrated call
for the rendering " to " ; but i; for " is a translation frequently re-
quired by the dative with idoneus.
Note 2. With an accusative of Extent of Time, the participle
natus states a person's age : e.g. mulier viginti annos nata, " A
woman twenty years old," or " twenty years of age."
Note 3. Remember that totus belongs to a group of adjectives

peculiar in the genitive and dative singular ; consult, if necessary,
the Note on p. 352.

30. A Popular Commander
" I see a soldier coming," said Marcus. " Don't run to
hide in the garden, Quintus ; I hope that he will tell us a
story." Then to the soldier: " Who are you, pray? 12

" When I was eighteen years old," said the

Note i. The plural milia, being a noun, is construed with the

genitive ; e.g. sex milia nautarum, " six thousand sailors " (///.
" six thousands of sailors "). Because the English idiom is so
different, this construction needs to be noted with special care.
Note 2. In English we may say either " superior in number"
or " superior in numbers " ; but only the singular of numerus
should be used in rendering such phrases into Latin.
Note 3. Fundamentally, parco signifies something like " be

merciful," hence its construction with the dative case.
Note 4. In the idiom se recipere, the pronoun varies, of

course, with the person and number of the verb ; e.g. me recipio,
te recipis, se recipit, nos recipimus, etc.

a predicate noun, adjective, or participle in this indirect discourse
therefore stands in the same case as the subject of videor itself;
e.g. Dux esse videtur, " He seems to be the leader ;
" Roman! victi
esse videntur, " The Romans appear to have been beaten ;

LOCATIVE CASE — THE GERUNDIVE IN PURPOSE

CLAUSES {continued)
In with the ablative is already familiar as the regular
method of expressing Place Where. City names, how-
ever, do not follow this rule, but use, instead of in and the
ablative, a special case form (Locative) which requires no
preposition. City names that are singulars of the first or
second declensions have regularly, in the locative, the same
form as in the genitive singular.
MODEL SENTENCE
Saratogae et Eboraci Nov! erant exercitus hostium, Armies
of the enemy were at (in) Saratoga and New York.
Remark i. But a noun in -ium makes its locative in -ii.
Thus Londlnium has the genitive Londlni, but locative Londinii.
Remark 2. For all other city names than singulars of the first
and second declensions, the locative is regularly identical in form

with the ablative case \ e.g. Athenis, " at Athens " (Athenae,
-arum, f.), Carthagine, "at Carthage" (Carthago, -inis, f.).
Besides city names, three common nouns also form loc-

atives ; namely, domi, "at home," humi, "on the ground,"
and run, "in the country."
Rule. The names of cities, and the common nouns
domus, humus, and rus desig7iate Place Where by means
of the Locative case.
MODEL SENTENCE
Ibi morantur castellorum adoriendorum causa, They are
waiting there to attack the forts, lit. with (i.e. for) the pur-
pose of attacking the forts.
Rule. Purpose may be expressed by the ablative causa,

preceded by a genitive phrase made up of a noun with
gerundive modifier.
Remark i. Do not fail to note that causa must stand /as tin
the purpose clause.
Remark 2. Verbs of the class described in Exercise IX (e.g.
persuadeo) are almost wholly defective in the gerundive, and can-

not be used in purpose clauses of this type.
Remark 3. For the expression of purpose by means of gerun-

dive phrases, ad with the accusative and causa with the genitive
are practically equivalent forms. But while ad with the accusative
attaches itself most naturally to verbs of motion (cf. Exercise XI),
the rule for the use of causa with the genitive is without any such
limitation.

Note i. Audax belongs to the class known as "adjectives of

Note 2. Though rus is not an I-Stem, it has, along with rure,

the form run. And as this latter is seldom found except in the
sense " in the country," to it is assigned the name " locative,"
as already indicated above. Rure, on the other hand, is restricted
closely to the conventional ablative uses.

grandfather prefers to remain the whole year in London.
2. hope that the war will turn out well for the entire

nation. 3. Meanwhile the inhabitants of all parts of the

mountain were going to the shore to look for 2 skiffs.
4. While
3
our soldiers 4 were lying on the ground in the
woods, the general of the enemy led his 5 forces very
quickly through the valley, hoping 6 that, by hurrying, he
would be able 7 to cross all the hills

unobserved. 5. Since
the king's fleet excelled in swiftness, our general had to 9
take that town at once; and so we spared neither 10 our-
selves
11
nor 10
our 5
brave horses, until we came to the
bridge.
41. 1. Why do you always prefer 12 to remain at Rome

and not to go to the shore to see the ships ? 2. Let us
13
hurry to the hill; for 1 I can 5 see the two lines, and the
enemy seem to surpass our men in valor. 3. With a dog
for guide, the boldest hunters ventured to go 14 farther
into the forest to hunt for bears; but Marcus says that
matters 15 turned out badly for them, 16 and that one of the
men 17
was killed by Indians. 4. The settlers now ad-
vanced with much greater boldness, thinking that they 6
saw 18 lights in the town. 5. Did you say that the hunters'
skiffs had twice been filled with the waves ?
42. The Spy
Once our commander persuaded one of his 19 captains

to cross the river, to spy upon the fortifications of the
Indians. Although the man 20 thought that the enemy

other particulars : first, that it is associated with an accusative of
Extent of Time {not an ablative of Degree of Difference) ; and,
second, that it reckons backward from present time (whereas ante
reckons backward from a point in the past). Thus, abhinc multos

THE CONDITIONAL SENTENCE

Conditional sentences of the commonest type state the
conditions under which something is, was, or will be true.
Such conditional sentences are known as Simple.
MODEL SENTENCES
Si nuntius pervenit, militem statim vocabo, If the mes-
senger has come, I will call the soldier at once.
SI Caesar in castris est, impetus hostium vobis non
timendi sunt, If Caesar is in the camp, you need not fear
the assaults of the enemy.
Rule. Simple Conditional Sentences, both in the con-

dition and the conclusion, use any tense of the indicative
required by the sense.
Different from the above are those conditional sentences

which tell what would be true, if something should take
place. This type of conditional sentence is known as
Vague Future.
MODEL SENTENCE
Si hostes flumen transeant, Caesar statim se recipiat, If
the enemy should cross the river, Caesar would at once
fall back.
Rule. Vague Future Conditional Sentences have the

present {or perfect) subjunctive in the condition, and the
present subjunctive in the conclusion.
Remark i. Though the difference between the above types
of conditional sentence is very marked and obvious, it is of the
utmost importance, here, at the outset, to fix that difference
firmly in the mind. Otherwise, mistakes will insidiously creep in.
EXERCISE XVII 255
Remark 2. Since "would" and "should" are put to so

many different uses in English, it may, perhaps, require a little
care to keep clear and distinct (1) the "would" and "should"
of vague future conditional sentences; (2) the "would" which is
merely a mark of customary past action and (3) the " should " ;
which calls for the Latin gerundive.

Note. Hue is used with verbs of motion only. But it is fre-
quently the required translation for English "here," since this

latter word is so often used loosely for " hither " (e.g. " Come
here!").
%
In memorizing the forms of indefinite qui, note that its
declension is just like that of interrogative qui, excepting

for the form qua (fern. sing, and neut. pi.). Indefinite qui
is used chiefly in combination with the conjunctions si, ne,
nisi ("unless"), and num ("whether"), being there a
regular substitute for the corresponding forms of aliqui ;
e.g.
f quis, if any one, if some one.

si quid, if anything, if something.
qua navis, if any ship, if some ship.
quis, so that no one (lit. lest any one),

ne quid, so that nothing (lit. lest anything).
[
qua navis, so that no ship (lit. lest any ship).
Note i. Study with special care the above examples with ne,
observing how English negative purpose clauses may need to be
recast in order to suggest the Latin form, introduced by the proper
conjunction e.g. " so that no one "
;
=
" lest any one " (ne quis),
" so that nothing " =
" lest anything " (ne quid), etc.
Note 2. When indefinite qui is used in combination with a

conjunction, it should be placed next after that conjunction, with-
out intervening word or words ; see again the examples.

THE CONSTRUCTION WITH VERBS OF FEARING

Clauses dependent upon verbs of fearing look, at first
sight, very much like purpose clauses but they differ ;
from them in important particulars. In the following

models, note especially the force of ut and ne.
MODEL SENTENCES
Timemus ut videant, We are afraid that they are not
looking.
Timebam ne quis veniret, I was afraid that some one was
coming.
Rule. Verbs of Fearing are construed with subjunctive
clauses introduced by ne (" that ") and ut (" that not ").
All tenses of the subjunctive are found in clauses de-

pendent upon verbs of fearing, the choice being deter-
mined by the Law of Sequence as laid down in Exercise
VI. Used in this construction, the present and imperfect
subjunctive may refer either to action coiitemporaneous with
that of the governing verb, or to action future from the
point of view of that verb ; e.g. :
_ J I am afraid that he is boasting.

8 I am afraid that he will boast.
{
_. _ _ ,. ._ _ f
I was afraid that he was boasting.
Timebam ne glonaretur \ T
'
. , . ^ , 7 ,
[ I was afraid that he would boast.
Note. Observe that, in the phrases where the present and
imperfect subjunctive designate action contemporaneous with that
of the governing verb, the force of these tenses is the same as in
causal cum-clauses ; but when they refer to action that is future
from the point of view of the governing verb, the tense force is
like that seen in purpose clauses (cf. Note 1 on p. 220).

certiores faciet, " The commander will inform the soldiers," and
the passive is formed in the regular way, e.g. Caesar certior fit,
" Caesar is informed.

51. Ten to One

Many years ago 17
a certain captain named Carpenter
decided to try to take and burn a town into which the
farmers from all sides 5
were bringing supplies 18 to aid the
enemy. He had with him 19 only 20 about twenty men; 21
but they 22 marched boldly 23 a few miles through the woods,
and suddenly attacked a company of the enemy, which was
guarding the town. Carpenter had divided 24 his men, 25 and
had ordered them 26 all to pretend that they were officers, 27
and to shout out 28 commands 29 as 30 they made the attack.
The enemy of course 31 thought that many companies were
pressing forward 32 through the woods, and fled at full
speed. 33 After burning 34 the town, Carpenter 13 returned
to camp with but two men wounded. 35

Remark. The Dative of Service is generally used in connec-

Occasionally it is accompanied by a dative of the indirect object,
and sometimes it stands alone.

Rule. Result may be expressed by an ut-clause with its
verb in the present or imperfect subjunctive.
Note. So far as form is concerned, the most important differ-
ence between result clauses and subjunctive purpose clauses is
that negative purpose requires the special introductory particle

ne, whereas negative result is marked in the ordinary way by non
(cf. the second of the Model Sentences above).

Remark. Some Roman writers employ, in result clauses, the
perfect subjunctive also. This, however, is a special and difficult
use, not to be attempted at the present stage of the work. Hence
the omission of that tense from the rule above given.

needed to translate the passive " be used " into Latin. The

TOWN NAMES
It has already been shown that town names, and the
common nouns domus, humus, and rus, do not conform to
the regular rule for Place Where, but use a special case-
form (locative) to express this relation. With the excep-
tion of humus, these same groups of words follow a special
rule also for Place to Which and Place from Which.
MODEL SENTENCES
Romam ibit, He will go to Rome.
Rus properavimus, We hurried to the country.
Rule. Place to Which is expressed by the accusative case

of town names, and 0/ domus and rus, without a preposition.
MODEL SENTENCES
Cur turn Roma profectus est ? Why did he set out from
Rome at that time ?
Domo iam exibamus, We were just starting out from home.

Rule. Place from Which is expressed by the ablative case
of town names, and of domus and rus, without a preposition.
Note. At this point, the declension of rus should be reviewed
carefully (see the Vocabulary of Exercise XV, with Note 2).

line had fallen back to the camp, leaving 32 the wounded

(70-72)
THE GERUND IN PURPOSE CLAUSES
Verbs capable of taking a direct object are called Tran-
sitive ; all others are Intransitive. In Exercises XI and
XV it has been shown how the gerundive of transitive
verbs is used in phrases governed by ad and causa to ex-
press purpose. Intransitive verbs, on the other hand, are
all practically defective in the gerundive, and cannot be
employed in these constructions ; but the gerund of in-
transitives is freely used in very similar phrases.
MODEL SENTENCES
Colonos ex agris ad pugnandum vocate, Summon the
settlers from the fields to fight {lit. for fighting).
Pugnandi causa manebimus, We shall remain to fight, lit.
with {i.e. for) the purpose of fighting.
Rule. In purpose clauses involving ad or causa, a transitive
verb takes the gerundive form ; whereas it is the gerund
of intransitive verbs that is required in all such phrases.
Note. Intransitive verbs are of two types :
(1) those which are
incapable of taking an object of any kind, and (2) those which
are construed with some other case than the accusative. In-
transitives of this latter type use even the gerund very sparingly
in purpose expressions {e.g. veni ad senatui persuadendum, " I
have come to persuade the senate") ;

generally they incline to
some other device {e.g. an ut-clause).
Remark. In such a sentence as " We have come to buy," the
verb"buy" chances to be used without an expressed object.
When thus used " absolutely," even a transitive verb is neces-
sarily rendered by the gerund rather than the gerundive in pur-
pose expressions (e.g. emend! causa) ; for the phrase contains no

noun for a gerundive to modify.

EXERCISE XXV 281
72. Americans on the Sea

Many years ago 23 the British used 24 to board American
vessels that were crossing the Atlantic ocean, and carried
back 25 with them 26 to their own 27 ships seamen whom they
thought to be British. We fear that sometimes men were
seized who were really
28
American citizens; but in those
days the English were superior upon the water, 30 and the
29
Americans were obliged to submit. 31 But, a few years later,

war was declared upon the British and the Americans, who ;
previously 32 had had a very small fleet, now built 33 more

vessels, and often overcame the enemy even upon the sea.

(73-75)
THE IMPERSONAL PASSIVE

When a transitive verb is turned into the passive, its
direct object becomes the subject of the sentence {e.g.
navem fecerunt, "They built a ship" ; but navis facta est,

" A ship was built"). Intransitive verbs, however, being
incapable of taking a direct object, can form only an im-
personal passive.
MODEL SENTENCES
The fight waxes hot.
Acriter pugnatur They (we, you, etc.) fight fiercely.
Lit., It is fought fiercely.
The mountains were reached.

He (they, we, etc.) arrived at
Ad montes perventum est
the mountains.
L it., It was come to the mountains.
We must fight at once.
Statim nobis pugnandum est Lit., It must be fought by us
at once.
Note. Attention has already been called to the fact that the
gerundive of intransitive verbs is practically defective. The
reason for this state of affairs now appears : for, being a part of
the passive system, the gerundive of an intransitive verb is limited
to the impersonal and hence can have but a single form
use,
(namely, the neuter singular in -urn, nominative and accusative),
used only as in the third of the Model Sentences.
Remark. The above statements apply equally to all intransi-
tives. But for the present the discussion is limited to verbs which, in
the active, are incapable of governing any case whatsoever (cf. the
EXERCISE XXVI 283
first part of the Note in Exercise XXV). Intransitives capable

of governing cases other than the accusative are reserved for later
consideration.

THE SUPINE
The supine consists of the accusative and ablative singu-
lar of a verbal noun of the same derivation as the perfect
passive participle ; e.g.
Accusative Ablative
voco: vocatum vocatu

habeo habitum habitu
mitto missum missu
rapio raptum raptu
audio audltum auditu
Deponents, as well as other verbs, form a supine

and in all verbs, whether regular or irregular,
the case of
there found the same fixed relation between the forms
is
of the supine and those of the perfect passive participle.

Hence, to write the supine of a verb, it is necessary only
to know the principal parts.
MODEL SENTENCE
Legati venerunt pacem petitum, The envoys have come
to sue for peace.
Rule, hi dependence upon a verb of motion, the supine

in -um may be used to express Purpose.
Note. In regard to the supine in -um in this use, observe
carefully (i) that it depends upon a verb of motion, (2) that
it no preposition, and (3) that it may itself govern an
requires
accusative. In order to become at once familiar with this new
method of expressing purpose, watch for the opportunities to use
it afforded by verbs of motion.
MODEL SENTENCE
Hoc optimum factu arbitror, I think this best to do {lit.
best as regards doing).
Rule. The supine in -u is used with a few adjectives

as an Ablative of Specification.
Remark. The supine in -um is common enough ; but the use
of the supine in -u is very limited.
In connection with this Exercise, by way of review,

write out all the participles, verbal nouns, and infinitives
of some one deponent verb.

Rule. Purpose clauses containing the comparative of
an adjective or adverb are introduced by quo rather than
by ut.
Note. In purpose clauses of this last type, the comparative

regularly stands next to quo, as in the Model Sentence.
In regard to the use of the above forms for the expres-

sion of purpose, the following points must be kept clearly
in mind
Negative purpose requires ne.
1.
Quo replaces ut when there is a comparative in the

3. A relative pronoun is apt to be chosen when the gov-
erning clause contains a more or less indefinite expression
to serve as antecedent.
4. The supine in -um can be construed with verbs of

motion only. Furthermore, it is with verbs of this class
that ad with the gerund or gerundive is mostly found.
Remark. Remember that, in purpose clauses involving ad or
causa, transitive verbs take the gerundive form, whereas intran-
sitives are restricted to the gerund in all such phrases (cf. Exercise
XXV).

87. A Desperate Venture
Once an officer named Arnold, a man of the greatest

daring, led a small army over 23 the mountains
into Canada,
hoping 24 to capture there a large town which was held 25
by the British. Quietly he crossed the river at night but ;
when the soldiers had climbed the hill along rough 26 foot-
paths, the enemy were found to be so superior in number
that every one ^ believed that the town could not be taken
by storm M the Americans, however, decided to make the
attempt. 29 In the battle Arnold was himself 30
wounded, 31
and the army driven back. 32 But two years later, when
a fierce fight was in progress 33
same 34
at Saratoga, this
commander again met 35 the enemy on the battlefield, 36 and
there won v a great victory. 38

there was more courage {lit. more of courage).
Rule. A word designating A part may be modified by

EXERCISE XXXI 297
Remark. It is very easy to apply this rule to such a phrase as

pars militum, because the English expression so closely parallels
the Latin. But examples like satis audaciae, plus timoris, etc.,
demand special study ; for the idiomatic English renderings,

" enough boldness," "more fear," etc., do not at all illuminate
the noun and dependent genitive of the Latin construction.
MODEL SENTENCES
Sunt qui putent se non satis pecuniae habere, There are
people who think that they have not enough money.
Si erant, quos Curio timeret, If there were any whom
Curio feared.
Nemo erit quern audiatis, There will be no one whom
you will heed.
Rule. The subjunctive is used in relative claitses depend-

ent upon such general expressions of Existence and Non-exist-
ence as sunt and nemo est {Subjunctive of Characteristic).
Note. Observe that, when used as a general expression of
existence, sunt requires no expressed subject; whereas, in the
corresponding English phrases, the indefinite subject cannot thus
be suppressed e.g. sunt qui signifies " there are
: men who,"
" there are some who," " there are those who," etc.
Remark. It is because the relative clause, in expressions of

this type, is felt to " characterize " the subject of sunt, est, etc.,
that the name Relative Clause of Characteristic has been devised.

Note i. Observe that the construction with impero is quite

like that with persuadeo. On the other hand, its construction must
be contrasted very sharply with that of iubeo, particularly as impero
and iubeo are so similar in meaning. If, in translating into Latin,
impero is used always (and only) as the rendering for " give
orders," there will be little danger either of missing the dative
with that verb (cf. the Rule in Exercise IX), or of becoming con-
fused concerning the familiar construction with iubeo.

(100-102)
SUMMARY OF GERUND AND GERUNDIVE

CONSTRUCTIONS
Various uses of the gerund and gerundive have been
treated in preceding Exercises. Each of these special uses,
with others, finds a place in the schemes which follow.
3 o8 FIRST LATIN READER
THE GERUND
As already shown, the gerund is a verbal pu?un 9 found
only in the genitive, dative, accusative, and ablative singu-
lar. All these forms of the gerund are used in regular
noun constructions but the dative is so seldom found that
;
it is excluded from the present discussion.
MODEL SENTENCES
Genitive
facultas aquandi, The opportunity of getting water.

aquandi causa, For the purpose of getting water.
Accusative
ad aquandum, For getting water (To get water).
Ablative
pugnando evadunt, They escape by fighting.

pugnando superant, They excel in fighting.
de pugnando nihil audivi, I have heard nothing about
fighting.
Note i. In the first group of models above, facultas aquandi

has been rendered very literally. More idiomatic translations
are " opportunity for getting water," and " opportunity to get
:
water." In turning such phrases back into Latin, the only secu-
rity against error is to have firmly fixed in mind the fact that
facultas and nouns of similar meaning govern a genitive con-
struction.
Note 2. The accusative of the gerund is used only with a

preposition, mostly ad.
Note 3. In the last group of Model Sentences, observe how

the first two ablatives express Means and Specification. The prep-
ositions used with this case of the gerund are ab, de, ex, and in,
EXERCISE XXXV 309
THE GERUNDIVE
The gerundive is an adjective, and has two main uses
1. In connection with the verb sum, the gerundive in-
dicates that a thing ought, needs, must, or should be done.

Intransitive verbs (impersonal in the passive) find here
the sole use for their single gerundive form, namely, the
nominative and accusative neuter in -um, e.g. pugnandum
est, persuadendum esse, etc.
2. Apart from the verb sum (expressed or implied),
the gerundive of transitive verbs commonly lacks the no-
tion " should, " " ought," etc., being used with great fre-
quency in phrases which, in meaning and form, very
closely parallel the gerund constructions made by intran-
sitive verbs (or by verbs used absolutely ; cf . the Remark
in Exercise XXV). In these gerundive uses, too, the
dative figures so little that it is not included in the present
discussion.
MODEL SENTENCES
Genitive
facultas aquae petendae, The opportunity of getting water.

aquae petendae causa, For the purpose of getting water.
Accusative
ad aquam petendam, For getting water (To get water).
Ablative
dolore ferendo defessi sumus, We are worn out with bear-

ing pain.
dolore ferendo nos superant, They excel us in bearing
pain.
de dolore ferendo librum scripsit, He wrote a book on
bearing pain.
'
3io FIRST LATIN READER
Remark. Working through the above examples one by one,

note how the gerundive is everywhere simply an adjective modifier
taking the form determined for it by the noun standing in the
genitive, accusative, or ablative case. And always keep in mind
the fact that only transitive verbs possess the gerundive forms
necessary for the construction of such phrases.
Note. The same prepositions used with the ablative of the
gerund are found also with ablative gerundive phrases.

even the horsemen will surpass us in speed. 6 4. If we

should inform the general that five hundred and fifty men,
who were lately
7
with us, are now hurrying to the camp of
the enemy's armies, he would say that there are not enough
horsemen in Brundisium 8
to capture 9
so many deserters.
101. 1. Since wagons can travel 10

along this narrow way
very easily, we need not find some other n method 12 of bring-
ing 13

5
eral miles through the valleys, there

will be a chance to hunt
and fish. There are some people whom 14 we hear are try-
3.
ing to get possession of the money, so that they may have 15

more 16 slaves. 4. Thus it happened 17 that they were talking
about building 18 ships. But we already have ten, and I think
that the townspeople have been informed of the situation 19
and (that they) 3 will send eight other vessels to reenforce us.
102. The Scoufs Escape
"Many years ago," 16 said the soldier to the consul's

sons, " a w scout set out from New York to join 21 our army ;
and, 22 as 23
he 22
was a man of the greatest daring, he was
24
sent a few days later across the river, and remained
several hours in the enemy's camp. When
he was ready
to return, he quietly withdrew to the woods during the
night, 25 but could not find the skiff which he had left on
the river. While he was thus at a loss, 26 suddenly he
heard the barking 27 of a dog, and fearing 28 that he would
be caught by the enemy, he at once advanced silently 29
into the water, and there 30 by chance found another skiff.
The dog, which had now come to the bank, swam after 31
the skiff, and seized it with his 32 teeth. 33 But the scout
killed the animal M with his a dagger, 35 and returned shortly
in safety to our camp."

(1O3-IOS)
INDIRECT QUESTIONS
Just as a statement may either be reported verbatim
(Direct Discourse) or quoted indirectly (Indirect Dis-
course), so a question may be reported either in the direct
or in an indirect form, e.g.
Direct form: "Why are you waiting?" asked Marcus.

Indirect form : Marcus wanted to know why they were
waiting.
EXERCISE XXXVI 313
In the above, note that, even in the indirect form, the

interrogative word "why" is still retained —a fact that
shows instantly that we are dealing with a quoted question,
and not with a quoted statement. Consequently, even
though some verbs {e.g. "to know") are capable, on occa-
sion, of governing either construction, still the absence or
presence of an interrogative in a given clause shows at
once whether or not that clause is an indirect question.
MODEL SENTENCES
f quid legatus faciat.
Caesar audire vult j
what the captain is doing.
Caesar wants to know I cur legatus abierit.
[
why the captain has gone.
ubi legatus esset.

Caesar me rogabat where the captain was.
Caesar was asking me quis legatum vidisset.
who had seen the captain.
Rule. The verb of an Indirect Question stands in the
subjunctive mood.
Note. Observe that Indirect Questions employ all tenses of
the subjunctive, and with the same force as seen in causal cum-
clauses (Exercise VI). Watch with special care for cases where
the Law of Sequence calls for the use of the perfect subjunctive.

Note. Quo is found only with verbs of motion. Hence it is
only when " where " is used loosely for " whither " that it can be
rendered by quo ; and, conversely, whenever " where " does stand
for " whither," it must be rendered by quo; for ubi cannot be
used with verbs of motion. Cf. the Note on hue, p. 255.
In the same way, " there "asa rendering for relative quo at the
beginning of a new sentence is loose for " thither." And even
" thither," thus used, is not a real translation of quo itself, but
rather of the demonstrative adverb (eo) for which quo stands ; for
just as Latin, in beginning a new sentence, is prone to substitute a

relative pronoun for a demonstrative (e.g. quod cum fecisset, " when
he had done this "), in like manner a relative adverb is often sub-
stituted for a demonstrative adverb.

(106-108)
THE THIRD PERSON REFLEXIVES

A reflexive pronoun or reflexive possessive adjective is
one that "refers back" to the subject of a clause or sen-
tence. For the third person, these reflexives are respec-
tively sui and suus, -a, -um.
MODEL SENTENCES
Rex se interfecit, The king killed himself.
Rex filium suum interfecit, The king killed his son.
Rule. The third person reflexive pronoun and possessive

adjective normally " refer back " to the subject of the clause
in which they stand.
In some types of subordinate clause, however, these same

reflexive forms must be used even when the reference is to
the subject of the governing clause. The subordinate con-
structions exhibiting this special use are chiefly these
EXERCISE XXXVII 317
•
1) Indirect Discourse
2) Indirect Question
3) Complementary
Infinitive Clause
4) Purpose Clause
5) Clause dependent upon Verbs of Fearing
The following examples illustrate this use either of sui

or suus in clauses of each of the above types
MODEL SENTENCES
1) Colon! dicunt nautas sibi nocuisse, The settlers say
that the sailors have injured them (the settlers).
2) Colon! rogant cur equi carros suos non secuti sint, The
settlers are asking why the horses have not followed their
(the settlers') wagons.
3) Colon! nautas se sequi iubent, The settlers order the

sailors to follow them (the settlers).
4) Colon! nautas hortati sunt, ut liberos suos adiuvarent,

The settlers urged the sailors to help their (the settlers')
children.
5) Colon! timent ut nautae secum proficlscantur, The

settlers are afraid that the sailors will not set out with
them (the settlers).
The correct use of the third person reflexives is almost
entirely a matter of memory ; for the wording of an Eng-
lish sentence often gives no help. Thus we may say " The
king killed his son," whether we are talking about the
kings son, or about the son of some one else. But in
rendering such a sentence into Latin, we are forced to a
decision : if the reference is to the king's son, the reflex-
ive adjective is the only modifier possible (Rex filium suum
interfecit); but if the son of some one else is referred to,
the genitive of the personal pronoun is required (Rex eius
filium interfecit).
;

Note. Though, for the third person, Latin is much better sup-
plied than English with special reflexive forms, there are numer-
ous distinctions which even Latin cannot make. Thus, when third
person reflexives stand in subordinate clauses of the types illus-
trated above, there is sometimes a possible ambiguity. In the

sentence Colon! dicunt nautas sibi nocuisse, sibi might conceivably
refer either to nautas (the subject of its own clause), thus illus-
trating the general rule ; or it might refer to Colon! (the subject
of the governing clause), thereby illustrating the special use. In
cases of this sort, the context usually makes clear the meaning of
the speaker or writer.
Remark i. In this connection, it must not be forgotten that

the English forms " himself," " herself," etc., are not by any means
always used as reflexive. Very often they are intensive merely, i.e.
they simply emphasize a noun or pronoun (Latin ipse). Thus,

Rex se interfecit, "The king killed himself,
11
but Rex ipse venit,
"The king himself came."
Remark 2. For the first and second persons, Latin has no
special reflexive forms. Consequently all cases of ego and tu,
excepting the nominative, are forced into service as reflexives

{e.g. Ego me terreo, " I frighten myself") ; so also all forms of the
possessive adjectives meus, tuus, noster, and vester.
VOCABULARY

scio, 4, scivi, scitus, know vexillum, -I, ^.,flag.
Note. It has already been indicated that (like other posses-

sive adjectives) suus, -a, -um follows the noun it modifies, unless
EXERCISE XXXVII 319
there is a contrast that makes it emphatic. Thus, Agricola equos

suos ducit, "The farmer is leading his horses," but Agricola suos
equos ducit, " The farmer is leading his own (as contrasted with
some one else's) horses."
Remark. In this connection, do not fail to note that suus, -a,

-um fully covers the ownership idea, and that, therefore, the geni-
tive of the reflexive pronoun sui (like the genitive of ego and
tu) must not be used to designate the person to whom something
belongs.

108. A Unique Standard
In American armies the soldiers usually 11 carry a flag

as 12 the standard. But one 13 regiment always took with
it
14
into battle an eagle which, not at all 15 terrified by the
;
shots fired on every hand, would fly 18 above 19 the enemy,

16 17
and 5 then come back to a pole, 20 which a soldier was carry-

ing. The enemy tried in every way 21 either to kill or to
22 23
capture this eagle ;
for they believed that, if it were lost,
24
the courage of the soldiers would be less. But this they
25 26 27
could never accomplish; and even after the war was
finished,
28
grateful 29 citizens for many years cared for the
bird.

ABLATIVE OF QUALITY OR CHARACTERISTIC

MODEL SENTENCE
Caesar erat insigni virtute vir, Caesar was a man of
noteworthy bravery.
Rule. A
noun in the ablative case, with a modifier,
may be used to designate a quality or characteristic of a
person or tiling.
Note. It is often impossible to detect any difference in mean-

ing between the genitive and the ablative of quality. But if the
modifier is par, acer, or any adjective with nominative in -is (as
similis), the ablative should always be written in preference to the
genitive. Thus, while we may say either maximae virtiitis vir or
maxima virtute vir, the choice of case is at once limited if insignis

is selected as the modifier, as in the Model Sentence above.

in Europe, when there had been a fierce battle, and the
townspeople had been forced back to their camp
to fall
23
with one of the captains very badly wounded, the leader
wished to find out whether the king was on the point of
coming to reenforce him. 24 So 25 he wrote a letter, 26 and
fastened 27 it to 27 the foot 28 of a pigeon, 29 which had been
given to him 24 by the king. Set free 30 at night, the bird
returned home with all 31 speed; and the king, thus in-
formed of 32 the battle, at once sent several companies to
the relief of his citizens."

and Sabinus, fearing that he had not sufficient forces

the activity of agents who contribute to an end, or who are work-

Sabinus was reluctant 23 to fight against 24 so large 25 an

army on unfavorable ground. Consequently 26 he for some

time kept within his camp, hoping that the Gauls would
think that the Romans feared them. Finally, through the
help of a 29 Gaul who pretended 30
that he was a deserter,
the enemy were informed that Sabinus would soon break
camp, so as to fall back and go to the relief 31 of Caesar.
Hearing 32 this, and fearing that Sabinus might slip away 33
unobserved, 34 the Gauls at once advanced 35 with great speed
toward 36 his camp. But when they arrived there 37 tired
out 38 with running, Sabinus by two gates suddenly sent out
all his men,
39
who made so fierce an attack that very few

(121-123)
INDIRECT OBJECT WITH THE IMPERSONAL PASSIVE

It has previously been pointed out that intransitive verbs
are of two types, namely
which are incapable of (1) those
governing any case whatsoever, and (2) those which are
construed with some case other than the accusative ; and,
further, it has been shown that all intransitive verbs are
necessarily restricted, in the passive, to an impersonal use
(cf. Exercise XXVI).
The passive of intransitives of the first type is already
familiar {e.g. pugnatur, pugnatum est, etc.). On the next
page is illustrated the corresponding passive of certain
intransitives of the other type.

Rule. Intransitive verbs which govern the dative retain

this case with their impersonal passive forms.
Note. The chief difficulty encountered in applying this Rule

is that our rather loose renderings, " persuade," " spare," and the
like (Exercise IX) incline us to forget that persuadeo, parco, etc.,
are intransitive verbs, and, therefore, necessarily impersonal in the

passive. To avoid error here, constant vigilance will be required.
Remark. When the impersonal passive takes the gerundive
form (as in the second of the Model Sentences), it is conceivable
that ambiguity might sometimes arise, the reader or hearer being
left in doubt whether the accompanying dative is one of agency
(Exercise XI), or whether it is an indirect object. As a matter
of fact, however, the context usually makes the meaning clear.

another, named Petronius, rushed forward lc with three
men to the very 17 gate, 18 where, however, he was sur-
rounded by the enemy and seriously 20 wounded. See-
19
ing 21 that he must die, Petronius shouted 22 to his men,

" Though I cannot myself escape, I will at any rate 23
save 12 you." 24 So saying, 25 he made a fierce attack upon
the enemy, and having killed two 26 with his 10 sword, drove
the others back a little. 27 The opportunity for escape 28

Many years ago several regiments set out to drive 29

some Indians from their homes, 30 and a 17 cavalry officer 31
named Custer was sent ahead 32 to attack the enemy. A
part of his forces he 15 ordered to advance by another
route, 33 so that he might make an assault upon the Indians
from both sides 34 simultaneously. 35 Thus it happened 36
that when he came suddenly in sight of the enemy's
camp, he had with him 37 only about three hundred men.
Catching sight of 38 the little band, the Indians, who were
about two thousand in number, at once burst forth from
their camp and made a fierce attack.

CONTRARY TO FACT CONDITIONAL SENTENCES

Two have already been
classes of conditional sentences
treated, namely, Simple and Vague Future. There still
remains a third class, known as Contrary to Fact a type —
EXERCISE XLIY 339
of conditional sentence peculiar in that it carries with it
the implication that the suppositions made are false. Thus

we say in English :
" If the boys were here " (implying that they are )iot
present).
"If the boys had been here" (implying that they were
not present).
Observe that the of the above illustrations has to
first
do with what and the second with what was not

is not, —
a distinction which is marked by the terms Present Con-
trary to Fact and Past Contrary to Fact.
MODEL SENTENCES
Si nobis plus pecuniae esset, non ruri essemus, If we had
more money, we should not be in the country.

If he had given more money to Caesar, you would have
been informed.
Si Caesar turn Romam venisset, nunc nobis satis pecuniae
esset, If Caesar had come to Rome at that time, we should
now have plenty of money.
In the last of these Model Sentences, note that the
conditioning clause Past Contrary
is to Fact, while the con-
clusion is Present Contrary to Fact — a very frequent com-
bination.
Rule. Present Contrary to Fact Conditional Sentences

require tlie imperfect subjunctive, Past Contrary to Fact the

Turning to the Summary of Forms, learn the future im-

perative of all other verbs, regular and irregular, noting
that everywhere there found the same close analogy

is
between the forms of the third person of the present indica-

tive and the corresponding forms of the future imperative.
MODEL SENTENCES
Thou shalt go.

Ito,
He shall go.
Thou shalt follow.

sequitor,
He shall follow.
amantor, They shall be loved.
Note. The future imperative is somewhat formal and old-

fashioned ; hence the rather stilted style of some of the above
renderings.

130. Pompey s Fate
After Pompey had been defeated at Pharsalus, he fled

by ship 10
to Pelusium. There n he found 12 that Ptolemy,
king 13
of Egypt, was not far 14
away with an army. He
therefore sent messengers to urge the king to allow him 15
16
to go to Alexandria for shelter. 16 But as 17 Ptolemy was

that Pompey might 24 attempt to get possession of all

Egypt, answered the messengers graciously, but sent
back 27 with them two soldiers to kill Pompey. On the
arrival of these, 8 the defeated general was persuaded to
embark upon 28 a small ship to go 29 to the king; whereupon 30

genitive singular of all proper names in -ius and -ium, and of

a few common nouns in -ium, e.g. Pompei, Londini, ingeni, etc.

Note i. Whether an adjective in -er retains the e in the

comparative or not, is indicated by the genitive of the positive ;
thus, gen. miseri, compar. miserior, but gen. acris, compar. acrior.
Note 2. Adjectives with superlative in -limus are : similis,
dissimilis, facilis, difficilis, gracilis, and humilis.

Note 3. Both adjectives and adverbs may be compared by
prefixing the adverbs magis and maxime to the positive. This is
the only method of comparison possible for adjectives in -us pre-

ceded by a vowel (e.g. idoneus, magis idoneus, maxime idoneus).

singular, the same irregularity as unus. They are : alius, alter
(gen. alterius) ; ullus, nullus ; uter (-tra, -trum), neuter (-tra,

-trum) ; solus, and totus. Of these eight, alius has additional
peculiarities : its neuter singular, nominative and accusative, is
aliud ; and in the genitive singular it borrows alterius from alter.

LIST OF VERB CONSTRUCTIONS

The ambiguity of English "that" and "to" tends to
obscure the difference between complementary infinitive,
indirect discourse, and purpose clause. The following

summary, therefore, may be found helpful as showing the
construction required by various verbs needed for the
translation of the English-Latin Exercises.
GOVERNING THE COMPLEMENTARY INFINITIVE

audeo consuesco paro
coepi dubito patior
cogo iubeo possum
conor malo soleo
constituo nolo volo
LIST OF VERB CONSTRUCTIONS 38:
GOVERNING INDIRECT DISCOURSE

animadverto f acio (certiorem, etc.) puto
arbitror glorior ratus
audio intellego responded
cognosco narro scio
credo nescio sentio

died nuntio simulo
doceo polliceor spero

GOVERNING A PURPOSE CLAUSE

hortor impero persuadeo
In this connection it must not be forgotten that ne and

ut have a special force with verbs of fearing ; furthermore,
that fit ("it happens") is construed with ut and the sub-
junctive (substantive clause).
