Excerpt from Latin Prose Composition, for College Use, Vol. 2 In the belief that exactness in the use not only of Latin but also of English words is furthered by the study of synonyms, and in the hope of giving a greater impulse to this feature of our Latin instruction, a few of the more important distinctions have been added in the appendix. To many of my friends I desire to express my hearty thanks for their generous assistance in the preparation of this book: to Professors Francis W. Kelsey, John C. Rolfe and Joseph H. Drake, of the University of Michi gan, who have kindly read and corrected my manuscript; to Edwin Francis Gay, b.a., of Ann Arbor, to W. E. Waters, ph.d., of Cincinnati, and above all, to Professor E. M. Pease, of Bowdoin, and to Professor Mary S. Case, of Wellesley College, for the unwearying kindness with which they have criticised both manuscript and proof sheets, and for the many most helpful suggestions they have offered.
