(ii.) _Useful Phrases for Latin Prose._--You should try gradually to put
together your own phrase-book. You will find this much more useful to
you than any ready-made collection. A good and simple plan is to have a
special note-book for this purpose. Mark in the text as you read useful
phrases, and in your note-book write the Latin on the right-hand page
and a good idiomatic rendering on the left. For example, from this
passage you might collect the following:--
English.
Latin.
_A chance of achieving a success._
+fortuna bene gerendae rei.+
_After completing his term of service._
+perfunctus militia.+
_Would make it worth their while._
+operae pretium facturum.+
_Up to that time._
+ad id locorum.+
_The result was not doubtful._
+haud dubia res est.+
_Though the fight was so unequal._
+ut in nulla pari re.+
_Some by one death and some by another._
+alii alia peste.+
(iii.) +HANNIBAL.+--Read some good short estimate of Hannibal as a
patriot, statesman, and soldier--such as may be found in Mommsen’s or
Ihne’s _History of Rome_. If you have time, you will find much to
interest you in the _Hannibal_ (‘Heroes of the Nations’) by O’Connor
Morris.
