Content and structure elements
Scope and content
Edward Leefeldt, who was about 28 years old in 1905, seems to have written this notebook as part of a Latin class he taught for the State Normal School at Trenton in September of that year. It includes intermediate elements of Latin grammar, related mostly to the use of the indicative and subjunctive moods, using Julius Caesar and Cicero as example texts. The volume also contained a note giving some provenance. Transcription included.
