OF THE


REV. THOMAS KERCHEVER ARNOLD, M.A.


LATE FELLOW OF TRINITY COLLEGE, CAMBRIDGE.




Practical Introductions to Greek, Latin, &c.

Henry’s First Latin Book. Eighteenth Edition. 12mo. 3s.

The object of this work is to enable the youngest boys to master the principal difficulties of the Latin language by easy steps, and to furnish older students with a Manual for Self-Tuition.

Great attention has lately been given to the improvement of what may be called its mechanical parts. The Vocabularies have been much extended, and greater uniformity of reference has been secured. A few rules have been omitted or simplified. Every thing has been done which the long experience of the Editor, or the practice of his friends in their own schools has shown to be desirable.

At the same time, no pains have been spared to do this without altering in any way the character of the work, or making it inconvenient to use it side by side with copies of earlier editions.

A small book of Supplementary Exercises is in the press.

A Second Latin Book, and Practical Grammar. Intended as a Sequel to Henry’s First Latin Book. Eighth Edition. 12mo. 4s.

A First Verse Book, Part I.; intended as an easy Introduction to the Latin Hexameter and Pentameter. Eighth Edition. 12mo. 2s.

A First Verse Book, Part II.; containing additional Exercises. Second Edition. 1s.

Historiæ Antiquæ Epitome, from Cornelius Nepos, Justin, &c. With English Notes, Rules for Construing, Questions, Geographical Lists, &c. Seventh Edition. 4s.

A First Classical Atlas, containing fifteen Maps, coloured in outline; intended as a Companion to the Historiæ Antiquæ Epitome. 8vo. 7s. 6d.

A Practical Introduction to Latin Prose Composition. Part I. Thirteenth Edition. 8vo. 6s. 6d.

This Work is founded on the principles of imitation and frequent repetition. It is at once a Syntax, a Vocabulary, and an Exercise Book; and considerable attention has been paid to the subject of Synonymes. It is now used at all, or nearly all, the public schools.
