* Item Description
This book examines the long-standing presence of Latin study in education and explores why it remains relevant and valuable today. The author delves into the history of Latin instruction, tracing its roots from the medieval period through the humanistic revival of the Renaissance and into the present era.

The book offers a compelling justification for the continued study of Latin, arguing that it provides students with a unique and powerful means of mastering their native language. The author argues that translation from Latin to English is a more effective tool for improving writing than traditional composition exercises, as it forces students to engage with nuanced concepts, broaden their vocabulary, and develop a keen sense of style and expression.

The author also discusses the importance of Latin in cultivating essential intellectual skills such as observation, accurate record-keeping, logical reasoning, and clear communication, skills that are crucial for success in any field of endeavor. The book's insights into the multifaceted benefits of Latin study offer a persuasive argument for its continued place in education.
