This book has for its aim a somewhat minute analysis of the principal Idioms current in the best Latin Authors.

A series of Idiomatic Rules and Examples, on opposite pages, each classified under appropriate head, may tend in some measure to the doing away with that most common reproach, the words are Latin, but the Idioms are English.'

For every Latinism a variety of Anglicisms is given, and thereby the student can gage the value of this or that Latin Idiom.
