Transcriber's Preface

This piece of work comprises all 172 sets of Exercises contained in George J. Adler's Practical Grammar of the Latin Language (1858), both the English sentences from the textbook and the Latin translations from the Key prepared by the author himself. Missing translations have been added by the transcriber, that is me, and some errors have been corrected as well.

Adler's Practical Grammar is a rather unique introductory Latin textbook in that it concentrates on the active aspect of the Latin language rather than the more passive reading. Nevertheless, it is not a mere phrase book, but provides a fairly complete introduction to the Latin language. To quote Mr. Adler: "My aim was...to sacrifice nothing of the theory, to leave no point of grammar unexplained or unconnected, but to make the student advance with equal pace from practice to theory, and from theory to practice, until he makes himself the master and conscious possessor of the entire structure of the language, as far at least as this can be effected by a Grammar" (this quote and the next were taken from Adler's Preface to his Practical Grammar).

Adler regarded "constant repetition and the perpetual construction of connected sentences and phrases" from English into Latin as the chief exercise of the student. The main design of Adler's textbook is—in his own words—"the writing and memorizing of the exercises appended to each lesson. In these the student applies directly the principles already acquired, and undergoes as it were a daily self-examination on what has gone before. Hence it is much more important that he should properly attend to those, than that he should be kept too long upon the mere mechanical committing of barren lists of words, or of rules which, without application, always remain a dead letter in the memory."

In this digital age the availabilty of a true digital edition—contrary to editions consisting only of scanned images of the texts—was all the more desirable because such an edition allows for full text search, randomization of exercises, etc. This specific HTML-version is a no-frills digital edition providing only the content without adding further functionality. Other editions, however, can be created based on the freely available plain text input file used to generate this version.

My aim in transcribing these exercises was the creation of a complete and correct edition of this valuable set of Latin exercises. Although the Key was prepared by Mr. Adler himself, there were several errors in it (mostly bits of the English sentences left untranslated) plus a few missing translations—both probably due to haste in preparing the Key to allow it to follow the Practical Grammar as soon as possible. I fixed the errors I noticed and added the missing translations (these are marked with a leading "ADDED"). I based these as closely as possible on the other translations in the Key and the examples in the Practical Grammar. I did my best not to "improve" on Adler, especially in the case of the added translations, but I felt that a few changes were warranted. As all changes are explained in footnotes, it would be easy to remove my changes should anyone be thus inclined. On the whole I am confident that I created a faithful digital version of his Exercises, but "errare humanum est".

This transcription is based on the following editions:

A Practical Grammar of the Latin Language by G.J. Adler (Boston: Sanborn, Carter, Bazin, & Co., 1858)
A Key to the Exercises contained in Adler's Practical Grammar of the Latin Language by G.J. Adler (Boston: Sanborn, Bazin & Ellsworth, 1858)

A few remarks concerning the Exercises:

The books date from 1858. Therefore some of the English may seem a bit archaic.
The words included in parantheses in the English sentences are not to be translated.
The future tense is only introduced in Lesson 81 (of 97 lessons in total). Before that lesson the verb velle is used as a replacement.

Two notes concerning this HTML-edition. Although it is a no-frills edition, it can be used to practice even without printing it. To do so, a few lines of code have to be changed at the beginning of the file:

Look for the line containing /*color: white;*/. Change this to color: white;. That way the column on the right containing the Latin translations is printed in white, thus rendering these invisible.
Look for the 2 lines containing color: black; /* color of footnote links */. Change these to color: white;. That makes sure that the footnote links are tinted white as well.

Highlighting the sentences in the right column with the mouse will then allow you to make them visible. One more thing, should you use a device with a window width of less than 800 pixels, I would recommend to delete the line width: 800px;

CAROLUS RAETICUS

Author's Preface to the Key

I have added this Key to the Exercises of my Practical Grammar of the Latin Language, for the benefit of teachers, and of such students, as may not have the advantages of more extended oral or written authority upon the subject. But since the Latin, by the use or absence of particles, exhibits a far greater variety of construction in interrogative sentences, than the English, with certain shades of distinction not always indicated by the latter idiom, the questions, as here put, are not proposed as the only form, in which they may occur in every instance, and the student may not unfrequently have them in a different shape, though equally correct, according to the rules advanced in the several lessons and developed at large in Lessons LXXXV and XCVII. It is hoped, however, that this Latin version of the Exercises may serve, if not as an absolute standard, at least as a useful aid to the efforts of the teacher, who, in his explanations, variations, and amplifications, can enhance the interest of the study at his pleasure, and that in this sense, properly used, it may prove an acceptable guide in the course here pointed out.

G. J. ADLER.

The optician put another pair of the best which he could find in his shop upon his nose; but the peasant being still unable to read, the merchant said to him: "My friend, perhaps you cannot read at all?" "If I could," said the peasant, "I should not want your spectacles."	Homo optices gnarus deinde aliud ex iis, quae in tabernâ suâ praestantissima reperire posset, naso illius imposuit; sed quum rusticus tum etiam legere non quiret, "Mi amice," inquit illi mercator, "fortasse tune artis legendi prorsus imperitus es?" "Si peritus essem," respondit rusticus, "non opus mihi esset perspicillo tuo."
I have always flattered myself, my dear brother, that you loved me as much as I love you; but I now see, that I have been mistaken. I should like to know why you went a walking without me?

Scire velim, quid causae sit, cur tu sine me ambulatum ires?
I have heard, my dear sister, that you are angry with me, because I went a walking without you.	Comperi (or Accepi), soror mea carissima, te mihi succensere, quod sine te ambulatum ierim.
I assure you that, had I known that you were not ill, I should have come for you; but I inquired at your physician's about your health, and he told me that you had been keeping your bed the last eight days.	Affirmo tibi, si scivissem, te non aegrotam esse, me te arcessiturum (abducturum) fuisse; sed medicum de valetudine tuâ interrogavi, qui mihi respondit, te his octo diebus lecto affixam fuisse.

Well, does your sister make any progress?	Age, facitne soror tua progressus?

You flatter me.	Mihi blandiris.
Not at all; I assure you that I should be highly (magnopere) satisfied, if all my pupils worked like you.	Affirmo tibi, me magnopere contentum futurum (esse), si omnes meorum discipulorum laborarent, quantum tu (or tam laboriosi essent, quam tu).
Why do you not go out to-day?	Quin tu hodie in publicum prodis?
I would go out if it were fine weather.	In publicum prodirem, si tempestas esset serena (or si sudum esset coelum).
Shall I have the pleasure of seeing you to-morrow?	Eritne mihi cras voluptas tui videndi?
If you wish it, I will come.	Veniam, si vis (si hoc tibi placet).
Shall I still be here when you arrive?	Aderone ego hic (hoc loco) etiam tum, quum tu adveneris?
Will you have occasion to go to town this evening?	Eritne tibi occasio in urbem eundi hodie vesperi?
I do not know, but I would go now if I had an opportunity.	Haud scio, sed ego nunc eo irem, si mihi esset potestas (opportunitas).
You would not have so much pleasure, and you would not be so happy, if you had not friends and books.	Non esset tibi tantum voluptatis (tanta felicitas), neque tam beatus (felix) esses, nisi (or ni) amicos et libros haberes.
Man would not experience so much misery in his career, and he would not be so unhappy, were he not so blind.	Nunquam humanum genus in vitae curriculo tam multas res adversas experirentur, neque tam infelix (miserum) essent, si non tam (or minus) caecum essent.
You would not have that insensibility towards the poor, and you would not be so deaf to their supplication, if you had been yourself in misery for some time.	Non tibi esset illa (or talis or tanta) erga pauperes inhumanitas, nec precibus eorum tam surdus esses, si tu ipse aliquamdiu in miseriis fuisses (or versatus esses).

I do not complain of you, but of your sister.	Non de te, sed de sorore tuâ queror.
You would have had no reason to complain of her, had she had time to do what you gave her to do.	Non fuisset tibi causa de eâ querendi, si habuisset spatium ad perficiendum, quod ei faciendum (discendum) mandavisses.
What has my brother told you?	Quid dixit tibi frater meus?
He has told me that he would be the happiest man in the world, if he knew the Latin language, the most beautiful of all languages.	Dixit mihi, se omnium humani generis beatissimum futurum esse, si linguae Latinae, quae omnium linguarum pulcherrima sit, sciens esset.
I should like to know why I cannot speak as well as you.	Scire velim, quid sit, quod ego non aeque scienter (eleganter) tecum loqui possim?
I will tell you: you would speak quite as well as I, if you were not so bashful. But if you had studied your lessons more carefully, you would not be afraid to speak; for, in order to speak well, one must learn; and it is very natural, that (necesse or par est, ut) he who does not know well what he has learnt should be timid.	En causa (or Dicam tibi causam): Tu aeque scienter loquereris atque ego, si non tam timidus (minus timidus) esses. Sin autem pensis tuis majore cum curâ studuisses, loqui non metueres; nam, ut bene loquamur, discendum est (diligentia adhibenda est); et par est, ut, qui non bene scit, quod didicerit, timidus sit.
You would not be so timid as you are, if you were sure to make no mistakes.	Tu non tam timidus (minus timidus) esses, si tibi persuasum esset, te non peccaturum.
There are some people who laugh when I speak.	(Homines) sunt, quid rideant, quum ego loquor.
Those are impolite people; you have only to laugh also, and they will no longer laugh at you.	Homines inurbani sunt; tu modo itidem rideas oportet, et te illudere desinent.
If you did as I (do), you would speak well.	Si faceres, quod ego facio, bene (scienter, eleganter, belle) loquereris.
You must study a little every day, and you will soon be no longer afraid to speak.	Operam te quotidie paulisper studiis dare oportet, et loqui brevi non amplius timebis.
I will endeavor to follow your advice, for I have resolved to rise every morning at six o'clock, to study till ten o'clock, and go to bed early.	Contendam (Enitar), ut consilium tuum sequar (consilio tuo obtemperem); stat mihi enim, quotidie mane horâ sextâ e lecto surgere, exinde usque ad decimam litteris operam dare, et mature me in lectum conferre.
I wish your son would be more assiduous.	Filius tuus assiduior [TR1] esset vellem.
Let us be more diligent.	Diligentiores simus.
Let them listen to the advice of their friend, and not be deaf to the words of wisdom.	Consilio amici sui aures dent (auscultent), neve ad verba sapientiae surdi sint.[TR2]
Let us imitate the best and wisest among men.	Imitemur [TR3] optimos et sapientissimos humani generis (or inter homines).
Do you know what that is?	Scisne, quid hoc sit?
I do not know what it is.	Nescio (Haud scio), quid sit.
I do not know whether he will go out or remain at home.	Nescio, utrum in publicum proditurus, an domi permansurus sit.
Do you know whether he has finished his letter or not?	Scisne, utrum litteras suas concluserit, an non?
I do not know.	Haud scio.
I beg you not to write.	Quaeso, ne scribas.
Please be silent.	Taceas (or Tace), sis.

[TR1] Transcr.: "assiduor" → "assiduior".

[TR2] Transcr.: "amicorum suorum" → "amici sui".

[TR3] Transcr.: "Immitemus" → "Imitemur" because although (according to Lewis & Short) "Imitemus" (one m) would be possible, that form would be far less common.

You must not believe that he is angry with you, for he is not so bad as he looks. He is the best man in the world (homo omnium praestantissimus); but one must know him in order to appreciate him (diligere carumque habêre).	Ne credas, eum tibi iratum esse; nam non is malus est, qui esse videatur.

[TR3] Transcr.: Note: Adler actually used "Was you" (his textbook dates from 1858) instead of the today more familiar "Were you".

[TR4] Transcr.: "friend" → "friends", because the singular "friend" in the question does not match the plural "they" in the answer. The plural makes more sense.

[TR5] Transcr.: "profectus est amicus noster" → "profecti sunt amici nostri", to match the number of "friends" in question and answer.

EXERCISE 172. (LETTERS.)—172. DICTATA CENTESIMA ALTERA ET SEPTUAGESIMA (EPISTOLAE).

1. Marcus Tullius Cicero to * * * greeting.[1]	1. M.T.C. C. CURIONI S. D.
I am deprived of an important witness of my high regard (amôris summi) for you,—of your father, of distinguished memory (clarissimo viro), who with his honors (laudibus), and especially with a son like you (tum vero te filio), would have overcome the destiny of (us) all (superasset omnium fortunam), if he had been so fortunate as to see you before he departed this life. But I hope that our friendship does not stand in need of any witnesses. May the gods prosper (fortunâre) your patrimony! You will at any rate (certe) have me (as one), to whom you may be as dear and agreeable (jucundus) as you were to your father. Adieu.	Gravi teste privatus sum amoris summi erga te mei, patre tuo, clarissimo viro: qui cum suis laudibus, tum vero te filio, superasset omnium fortunam, si ei contigisset,[TR1] ut te ante videret, quam a vitâ discederet. Sed spero nostram amicitiam non egere testibus. Tibi patrimonium dii fortunent! Me certe habebis, cui et carus aeque sis, et jucundus, ac fuisti patri. Vale.
2. M. T. Cicero to * * * greeting.	2. M.T.C. TERENTIAE S. P. D.
I hope you are very well (si vales, bene est); I am well. We have thus far no reliable information (quidquam certi) either (neque) concerning Caesar's arrival or (neque) concerning the letter, which Philotinus is said to have. If there is anything certain (si quid erit certi), I shall let you know (certiôrem facere) immediately. See that you take good care of your health. Adieu.	Si vales, bene est; valeo. Nos neque de Caesaris adventu, neque de litteris, quas Philotimus habere dicitur, quidquam adhuc certi habemus. Si quid erit certi, faciam te statim certiorem. Valetudinem tuam fac ut cures. Vale.
3. M. T. Cicero to * * * greeting.	3. M.T. CICERO TERENTIAE SUAE S. P. D.
I think that we shall come to Tusculanum either by the Nones (Nônis),[2] or on the day after (postridie). Let everything be (ut sint) ready (for us) there. Perhaps there will be several with us, and we shall, I think, remain there for some length of time (diutius). If the tub is not in the bath, let it be (put) there (ut sit). So also whatever else may be (Item cetera, quae sunt) necessary for life (ad victum) and health. Adieu.	In Tusculanum nos venturos putamus aut Nonis, aut postridie. Ibi ut sint omnia parata. Plures enim fortasse nobiscum erunt, et, ut arbitror, diutius ibi commorabimur. Labrum si in balneo non est, ut sit. Item cetera, quae sunt ad victum et ad valetudinem necessaria. Vale.
4. M. T. Cicero to * * * greeting.	4. M.T.C. ACILIO PROC.(ONSULI) S. P. D.
I earnestly recommend to you Hippias, the son of Philoxenus, of Calacta (Calactînus), my guest and intimate friend. His property (bona), as (quemadmodum) the matter has been reported to me, is publicly held under another name, contrary to the laws of the Calactini. If this is so, the case itself (res ipsa) ought to prevail on your sense of justice (ab aequitâte...impetrâre debet), that you should help (subvenîre) him. But however that may be, I ask of you to relieve him (expedîre) out of respect for me, and to render him such assistance (tantumque ei commodes), both in this matter and in other respects (et in ceteris), as (quantum) your honor (fides) and dignity will admit (patietur). You will do me a very great favor.	Hippiam, Philoxeni filium, Calactinum, hospitem et necessarium meum, tibi commendo in majorem modum. Ejus bona, quemadmodum ad me delata est res, publice possidentur alieno nomine, contra leges Calactinorum. Id si ita est, etiam sine meâ commendatione ab aequitate tuâ res ipsa impetrare debet, ut ei subvenias. Quoquo modo autem se res habet, peto a te, ut honoris mei causâ eum expedias, tantumque ei commodes et in hac re et in ceteris, quantum tua fides dignitasque patietur. Id mihi vehementer gratum erit.
5. M. T. Cicero to * * * greeting.	5. M.T.C. ALLIENO PROCOS. S. P. D.
I think you are aware how greatly I esteemed Caius Avianus Flaccus; and I had learned from himself (ex ipso audieram), (who was) a most excellent and agreeable (gratus) man, how generously he had been treated by you. The sons of this (man), worthy in every respect (dignissimos) of that father, and my intimate friends, whom I greatly cherish (unice diligo), I recommend to you as earnestly (sîc) as I can recommend any one (ut majore studio nullos commendâre possim). Caius Avianus is in Sicily. Marcus is with us. My desire is (te rogo), that you should honor (ornâre) the merit (dignitas) of the one present with you (illius praesentis), and defend the interest (rem) of both (of them). You can do nothing in that province (that will be) more agreeable to me. I most earnestly request you to do so.	Et te scire arbitror, quanti fecerim C. Avianum Flaccum: et ego ex ipso audieram, optimo et gratissimo homine, quam a te liberaliter esset tractatus. Ejus filios dignissimos illo patre, meosque necessarios, quos ego unice diligo, commendo tibi sic, ut majore studio nullos commendare possim. C. Avianus in Siciliâ est. Marcus est nobiscum. Ut illius dignitatem praesentis ornes, rem utriusque defendas, te rogo. Hoc mihi gratius in istâ provinciâ facere nihil potes. Idque ut facias, te vehementer etiam atque etiam rogo. Vale.
6. M. T. Cicero to * * * greeting.	6. M.T.C. TERENTIAE SUAE S. D.
I hope you are very well; I am well. If I had anything to write to you, I should do (so) in more words and more frequently. You see how matters stand at present (nunc quae sint negotia). As to how I am personally (ego autem quomodo) affected, you will be able to ascertain (cognoscere) from Leptas and Trebatius. See that you take proper care of (Tu fac ut...cures) your health and that of Tullia. Adieu.	S. V. B. E. V. Si quid haberem, quod ad te scriberem, facerem id et pluribus verbis, et saepius. Nunc quae sint negotia, vides. Ego autem quomodo sim affectus, ex Leptâ et Trebatio poteris cognoscere. Tu fac, ut tuam et Tulliae valetudinem cures. Vale.
7. M. T. Cicero to * * * greeting.	7. M. CICERO S. D. TREBATIO.
I have read your letter; from which I understand that Caesar considers you very learned in the law. You have reason to rejoice, that you have come to those places where you might have the appearance (ubi viderere) of knowing something (aliquid sapere). But if (quodsi) you had also gone into Britannia, there certainly would have been no one in that great island more experienced (peritior) than you. And yet (verum tamen) I envy you somewhat (subinvideo), for having been called, of his own accord (ultro), by one to whom others cannot even aspire (aspirare), not on account of his pride, but on account of his occupation. But in that letter of yours you have written me nothing about your affairs, which, I assure you (mehercule), are no less an object of concern to me (mihi non minori curae sunt) than my own. I am very much afraid of your feeling cold in your winter-quarters (in hibernis); on which account I advise you to keep up (utendum censeo) a good fire (camino luculento). Mucius and Manilius are of the same opinion (idem placebat with the dat.), especially as you are but sparingly supplied with military cloaks (qui sagis non abundares). I hear however (quamquam audio) that you feel warm enough where you are (istic); on account of which intelligence (quo quidem nuntio) I was, I assure you, very much concerned about you (de te timueram). But you are more cautious in military affairs than in the law (in advocationibus), since you desired neither to swim in the ocean, (though) extremely fond (studiosissimus homo) of swimming, nor to see the essedarii,[3] (though the man), whom before we could not even cheat blindfolded (quem antea ne andabatam quidem[4] defraudare poteramus). But jesting aside (jam satis jocati sumus), you yourself know how earnestly (diligenter) I have written to Caesar about you; how often (I have done so), I (myself know). But I had already ceased to do so (jam intermiseram), lest I might seem to distrust the disposition (voluntas) of a man most generous and affectionate towards me. And yet (sed tamen) I thought that it was necessary to remind the man (esse hominem commonendum) in the letter (dat.) which I sent him last. I accordingly did so (Id feci). I wish you to inform me of the result (quid profecerim); and, at the same time, of your entire condition (de toto statu tuo) and of all your plans. For I am anxious (cupio) to know what you are doing, what you expect, (and) how long you suppose this absence of yours from us (istum tuum discessum a nobis) will be (i. e. last). For I assure you, that it is one consolation to me, which enables me to bear more easily (quare facilius possim pati) your absentment from us (te esse sine nobis), if it is an advantage to you (to be so); but if it is none, (then) nothing can exceed the folly of both of us (nihil duobus nobis est stultius); of me, for not drawing you to Rome; of you, for not flying hither (at once). ... Let me know therefore (quare at the beginning of the sentence) about all (these) matters, as soon as you can. I shall certainly help you (juvero), either with my sympathy (consolando), or with advice, or with substantial assistance (re).	Legi tuas litteras; ex quibus intellexi, te Caesari nostro valde jureconsultum videri. Est quod gaudeas, te in ista loca venisse, ubi aliquid sapere viderere. Quodsi in Britanniam quoque profectus esses, profecto nemo in illâ tantâ insulâ peritior te fuisset. Verumtamen * * * subinvideo tibi, ultro te etiam arcessitum ab eo, ad quem ceteri, non propter superbiam ejus, sed propter occupationem, adspirare non possunt. Sed tu in istâ epistolâ nihil mihi scripsisti de tuis rebus, quae mehercule mihi non minori curae sunt, quam meae. Valde metuo, ne frigeas in hibernis. Quamobrem camino luculento utendum censeo. Idem Mucio et Manilio placebat; praesertim qui sagis non abundares; quamquam vos nunc istic satis calere audio; quo quidem nuntio valde mehercule de te timueram. Sed tu in re militari multo es cautior, quam in advocationibus; qui neque in Oceano natare volueris, studiosissimus homo natandi, neque spectare essedarios, quem antea ne Andabatam quidem defraudare poteramus. Sed jam satis jocati sumus. Ego de te ad Caesarem quam diligenter scripserim, tute scis; quam saepe, ego. Sed mehercule jam intermiseram, ne viderer liberalissimi hominis meique amantissimi voluntati erga me [TR3] diffidere. Sed tamen his litteris, quas proxime dedi, putavi esse hominem commonendum. Id feci. Quid profecerim, facias me velim certiorem, et simul de toto statu tuo consiliisque omnibus. Scire enim cupio, quid agas, quid exspectes, quam longum istum tuum discessum a nobis futurum putes. Sic enim tibi persuadeas velim, unum mihi esse solatium, quare facilius possim pati, te esse sine nobis, si tibi esse id emolumento sciam; sin autem id non est, nihil duobus nobis est stultius: me, qui te non Romam attraham, te, qui non huc advoles. * * * Quare omnibus de rebus fac ut quam primum sciam. Aut consolando, aut consilio, aut re juvero.

[1] For greeting put either S. D., i. e. Salûtem dicit, or S. P. D., Salûtem plurimam dicit. The name of the person addressed in the dative. E. g. Planco, Trebatio, Metello, Curiôni, Terentiae suae.

[2] The Romans called the fifth day of the month Nônae, ârum. In March, May, July, and October, this was the seventh day. Consult Lexicon.

[3] An essedarius was either a soldier or a gladiator, that fought from a war-chariot or essedum.

[4] An andabata was a sort of gladiator, who wore a helmet without visors, and thus fought like a blind man.

[TR1] Transcr.: Removed typo in original: "si ei cantigisset" → "si ei contigisset".

[TR2] Transcr.: Removed typo in original: "(ad virtum)" → "(ad victum)".

[TR3] Transcr.: Removed typo in original: "voluntati ega me" → "voluntati erga me".
