Head and tail spine a bit damaged. Edges a bit foxed. Signature on free endpaper. End papers stained by acid adhesive tape. ' In preparing this Primer we have kept two ends in view -- first, the provision of a sound grammatical foundation; second, the maintenance of interest by a fresh, lively and many-sided application of the formal elements. In the 51 lessons of the book a selected minimum of grammar is gradually unfolded, set out clearly, and grouped in a natural way. (...) Special vocabularies are provided, one for each lesson. (...) The total vocabulary slightly excees 600 words. In the exercises the A sections regularly consist of connected passages dealing with Roman life and legend, and presently giving a skeleton history of the Republic. Each passage is written specially for the place it occupies. No grammar, vocabulary or syntax is anticipated (...) Given thorough preparation of grammar and vocabulary, the pupil can acquire a facility in translation which will enable him to advance to the unususally lengthy passages later in the book with a speed, zest and confidence which are of incalculable value in maintaining interst and banishing the sense of frustration and boredom. The B sections and the Revision exercises are intended to secure the formal accuracy which was - and is - the justification of the traditional approach to the subject. (...) For an able class dcevorting five or six periods per week to Latin the A and B exercises constitute a complete course (...) A generous supply of C exercises provides extra pabulum for selected classes or individual pupils of special aptitude.' (J. PATERSON and E.G. MAGNOUGHTON in the Preface, pp.V-VI). € 30.00 (Antiquarian)
