A LATIN GRADUAL. A First Latin Construing Book for

Beginners. New Edition, enlarged, with Coloured Sentence Maps.

Fcap. 8vo. 2s. 6d.

The Head Master of Uppingham has here sought to supply by easy steps a knowledge of grammar, combined with a good Vocabulary. Passages have been selected from the best Latin authors in prose and verse. These passages are gradually built up in their grammatical structure, and finally printed in full. A short practical manual of common mood con­structions, with their English equivalents, forms a second part. To the New Edition a circle of grammatical Constructions with a Glossary has been added; as also some coloured Sentence Maps, by means of which the different parts of a sentence can easily be distinguished, and the practice of dissecting phrases carried out with the greatest benefit to the student.
