Write like Cicero and Caesar! - Bradley's Arnold is not merely what the title 'composition book' implies; in truth, it is a fairly comprehensive syntactical grammar of the Latin language, only arranged with an eye to being useful for composing, rather than reading, Latin prose. Writing Latin is the next step after you have completed the basics in any standard college-level introductory course, and Bradley's Arnold is the reigning king of composition books. As always, it is good to diversify your resources, but with its lucid presentation of syntax and its many, many practice exercises, BA should be the first composition book you buy, even if you are not afforded the luxury of taking a composition course at a university that offers them. The old-fashioned English in which BA is written is charming rather than obfuscating, and indeed the book gives one almost as good a sense of how the English language was used in times past as of how Latin was. BA's focus is, of course, on Latin prose of the Golden Age; this is not perhaps unjustified, since the style of Cicero was always traditionally the acme aimed at by Neo-Latin prose stylists.

An ideal, user-friendly text for intermediate to advanced Latin students - Now in a newly revised edition, Bradley's Arnold Latin Prose Composition is a classic and comprehensive review of Latin grammar and Latin prose composition with exercises to demonstrate key grammatical principles. The updated version's features include improved terminology and grammatical explanations, graduated lessons from simple to complex, supplemental continuous prose passages for self-testing, English-to-Latin vocabulary, a Latin index and a subject index, and much more. Though not a consumable workbook, Bradley's Arnold Latin Prose Composition is an ideal, user-friendly text for intermediate to advanced Latin students, whether studying the language in a college course or learning it on their own. Highly recommended.

old and good - Bradley's Arnold Latin prose compostion reaches for an audience it rarely receives nowadays. The book is so useful and completely solid, especially for Latin teachers who wish to improve their ability to communicate how it is that certain sentiments can be expressed in Latin. In addition to succinct review of concepts that start at a rather basic level, exercises are included. Towards the end of the book, whole excercises in prose that most closely resembles a Caesarian idiom, are included for practice. This book is the best I know of for teachers who wish to be able to teach certain Latin language concepts. Even if one chooses not to adopt certain approaches for teaching, a good deal of the summary and reinstruction remains unsurpassed and invaluable for those who wish to put a polish on already developed Latin skills. This book serves as an excellent shelf mate to Allen and Greenough's New Latin Grammar.

The bible of Continuous Latin prose composition - Every wannabe Latin scholar's comprehensive guide to correct and 'Roman' prose writing. Everything is covered from the most elementary language structure to complex oratio oblique constructions. It has a high level of assumed knowledge in regards to noun, verb adjective and adverb forms. If writing Latin is what makes you 'tic, taec toc' then this is the holy scripture itself.
