Excerpt from M. Tullii Ciceronis Cato Major Sive De Senectute Laelius Sive De Amicitia, Et Epistolae Selectae: With Notes, and an Index First, let him teach the child cheerfully and plainly the cause and matter of the letter; then, let' him construe it into English, so oft, as the child may easily carry away the understanding of it; lastly, parse it over perfectly. This done thus, let the child, by and by, both construe and parse it over again, so that it may appear, that the child doubteth' 111 nothing that his master taught him before. After this, the child must take a paper book, and sitting in some place, where no man shall prompt him, by himself, let him translate into English his former lesson. Then showing it to his master, let the master take from him his Latin book, and pausing an hour at the least, then let the child translate his own English into Latin again in another paper book. When the child bringeth it turned into Latin, the master must compare it with Tully's hook, and lay them both together.
