'This book contains forty papers based in the main on the revised syllabus of the 'O' level examinations of the Northern Joint Board, but since there is essentially little difference in the standards of the various examining bodies, it is hoped that the book will be of service to those preparing candidates for any exemination in Latin at the 'O' level. It is with this in mind that I have incorporated a section on grammar and syntax, and additional passages for unseen translation.' (S.K. BAILEY in the Foreword, p.V). € 40.00 (Antiquarian)
