Publisher's Synopsis
While both the Latin Primer and the Shorter Latin primer are elementary compendiums this book 'The Public School Grammar' is a much higher work. Benjamin Hall Kennedy said this book was written simply as a development of the famous Latin Primers. In general principals, all Kennedy's books are the same but this book is three times as large with the subject matter being arranged more systematically. Examples have been increased and the illustrations are wider with a large amount of information added. A grammar of this size will set you on the path of becoming a Latin scholar. Kennedy's Latin books have acquired a firm place in English culture: They are not simply excellent textbooks on the Latin language but are symbols of what schoolchildren have endured and enjoyed in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Even thought this famous book is being brought to you in a new edition it remains complete and includes extra material from Kennedy's other grammar books. These books provide clear and simple explanations of written and spoken Latin. Comprehensive and easy to use with coverage of all the key points of Latin grammar, the shorter primer is the ideal learning tool for the beginner in Latin. Intermediate students should use the second book Kennedy's Revised Latin Primer also published by Simon Wallenberg. While a third book, Kennedy's Public school grammar will also show you in greater detail, how the Latin language works. "For over a hundred years Kennedy's textbooks have been the unrivalled books for the teaching of the Latin language in public schools. The new Wallenberg edition will be welcomed by students and teachers alike." --- Telegraph Online Newspaper
