Balbus. A Latin Reading Book for Junior Forms. With illustrations by W.H. Robinson and a foreword by R.D. Wormald. - LYNE, G.M.,

KORTE INHOUD

'There is the right atmosphere from the start; the varied subject-matter is most refreshing; and Mr. Lyne has the gift of writing Latin of a lucid simplicity that yet never loses the authentic ring. The inclusion of some carefully chosen short extracts from Latin prose and verse writers harmonises well with the general scheme. These considerations alone should commend the book to the careful attention of teachers. But the notes that are interspersed among the stories constitute an additional and novel feature. From them the pupil will not only learn about Ablative Absolutes, Oratio Oblique, and other syntactical uses: such headins as 'On learning Latin', 'Roman Money', 'Roman Games', 'Sententiae', will open avenuew that are too rarely explored by the average boy. (...) In short, this book should combine instruction and education with the giving of pleasure to its readers; and as such it deserves a hearty welcome.' (R.D. WORMALD in the Foreword, pp.3-4).
