Excerpt from The Real Latin Quarter "Cocher, drive to the rue Falguiere" - this in my best restaurant French. The man with the varnished hat shrugged his shoulders, and raised his eyebrows in doubt. He evidently had never heard of the rue Falguiere. Yes, rue Falguiere, the old rue des Fourneaux, I continued. Cabby's face broke out into a smile. "Ah, oui, oui, le Quartier Latin." And it was at the end of this crooked street, through a lane that led into a half court flanked by a row of studio buildings, and up one pair of dingy waxed steps, that I found a door bearing the name of the author of the following pages his visiting card impaled on a tack. He was in his shirtsleeves - the thermometer stood at 90 outside - working at his desk, surrounded by half-finished sketches and manuscript.

Excerpt from Latin Quarter "Bohemia," says Murger, "is the preface to the Academy, the hospital, or the Morgue." Murger died in a hospital, "ce caravanserail des douleurs humaines," as he called it; and if he did not reach the Academy on his way there, he has had to suffer the praise of Academicians; he has become a kind of classic in neglige. His Scenes de la Vie de Boheme sum up an epoch, give us the map of a country: it is the Bohemia of the Latin Quarter, as it existed at the Romantic epoch. And it is also the eternal Bohemia, a country where people love lightly and sincerely, weep and laugh freely, are really hungry, really have their ambitions, and at times die of all these maladies. It is the gayest and most melancholy country in the world. Not to have visited it is to have made the grand tour for nothing. To have lived there too long is to find all the rest of the world an exile. But in Murger's pages, perhaps, after all, you will see more of the country than anything less than a lifetime spent in it will show you.

Excerpt from The Pretender: A Story of the Latin Quarter To have omnibus tastes and an automobile income - how ironic? With this reflexion I let myself collapse into a padded chair of transcendent comfort, lit a cigarette and inspected once more the amazing bank-book. Since I had seen it last several credit entries had been made - over twenty thousand dollars; and in the meantime, dawdling and dreaming in the woods of Maine, all I had managed to squander was a paltry thousand. Being a man of imagination I sought for a simile. As I sat there by the favourite window of my favourite club I could see great snowflakes falling in the quiet square, and at that moment it seemed to me that I too was standing under a snowfall, a snowfall of dollars steadily banking me about. For a moment I revelled in the charming vision, then like a flash it changed. Now I could see two figures locked in Homeric combat. Like a serene over-soul I watched them, I, philosopher, life-critic; for was not one of them James H. Madden, a man of affairs, the other, J. Horace Madden, dilettante and dreamer... Look! from that clutter of stale snow a form springs triumphant. Hurrah! It is the near-poet, the man on the side of the angels.

Excerpt from Lizette a Story of the Latin Quarter By half-past eleven the three were at the Cafe Dom perille, on the Boulevard St. Michel. The young French man, who was Fitzpatrick's guest, gabbled on the way about the places they were passing, and Fitzpatrick threw free translations of what he said into Murdoch's interested ears.' They clattered over the bridge, stopped for a mo ment before the great fountain at the head of the Boule vard, and then, after the driver had madly whipped his horse, as the Parisian cocher always does unless one is in a hurry or driving by the hour, dashed up in front of their selected destination.

Excerpt from A First Latin Book Forms. The forms are all given in the body of the book (except the unimportant list of numerals), and never in a mass, unless the parts of the mass are alike. There is much repetition, to show likeness or contrast (as of the active, when the passive is given). This takes space, but lessens labor. Every set of forms is put to immediate use in a context which enforces its meaning. The Reading, Matter is largely in dialogue; both' for greater naturalness, and to fix the persons of the verb. Syntax. The system is of extreme simplicity. Its categories are merely answers to the questions: What are the ideas which the Romans expressed by the cases? What are the ideas which the Romans expressed by the moods In a given case, the student has only to know what the Latin means to name the construction. A Summary of Syntax is given immediately after the Supple mentary Reading. It may be useful by way of review with this reading.

Excerpt from Scenes From the Life of Bohemia: Scenes De La Vie De Boheme The piece was produced at the Varietes towards the end of 1849, and met with phenomenal success. From that moment Murger's career was assured. He at once took a position amongst contemporary writers and left the Latin Quarter, though still continuing to draw models for the characters of several of his subsequent works from the associates of his youth. He continued to work steadily for several years, the best part of the last of these being mainly spent at Marlotte in the Forest of Fontainebleau, where he had a little cottage. Seized with a sudden illness during a visit to Paris in January, 1861, he was removed to Dubois Hospital, where he expired a few days later.

Bohemians of the Latin Quarter is a work by Henri Murger, published in 1851. Although it is commonly called a novel, it does not follow the standard novel form. Rather, it is a collection of loosely related stories, all set in the Latin Quarter of Paris in the 1840s, playfully romanticizing bohemian life. Most of the stories were originally published individually in a local literary magazine, Le Corsaire. Many of them were semi-autobiographical, featuring characters based on actual individuals who would have been familiar to some of the magazine's readers.

Excerpt from Second Latin Book The right of Caesar to occupy an important place in the early years of the Latin program of secondary schools has not been successfully challenged. His Commentaries will continue to enjoy the prestige which the traditions of centuries have assigned them. And rightly; for no Latin writer has sur passed this literary soldier in the composition of vigorous and luminous prose, which so admirably fits his work to be a medium for the presentation of the form and structure of the Latin language to the young student. But the right of Caesar to occupy not alone the centre of the stage but the whole stage as well, in the second year of Latin study, has been justly and successfully challenged. During the last few years a very general call has been heard for an easier, better graded, richer second year program in Latin than the study of Caesar alone affords. Not only have secondary teachers urged this change, but college professors and administrative officers have generally approved the plan, and accepted this more varied program in lieu of their long established requirements in Caesar.
