"The Public School Latin Primer" we have reasons for believing to be the best Latin Grammar ever produced in this country...... We have now a Latin Grammar eminently fitted to strengthen alike the young mind as well as the memory, by its appeal to the reflective powers and such an influence cannot fail to invest the dry subject of grammar with an interest most beneficial to the student's progress, when the intellect is thus being gradually exercised in combining and collecting a series of facts under certain well-defined principles, easy to retain and easy to apply. The outcry raised against the new grammar on the score of its novel terminology was sophistical and shallow in the extreme, for all terms are new, and must be new, to a boy beginning his Latin Grammar; and the only question should be, by what kind of terms shall we give him the best and truest account of the principles of the language he is attempting to learn. The Latin Primer alone boldly has attempted this, and has succeeded beyond all question in the opinion of all unprejudiced judges.' LONDON REVIEW.

"To a boy beginning his grammar, all terms are new; and if, in any case, he must commit to memory a new terminology of some kind, let him, by all means, be introduced to that terminology which will be eventually the best basis on which to build up his knowledge of the language. We believe, and have reasons for believing, the "Public School Latin Primer" to be

the best Latin Grammar ever produced in this country; and we think, with all unprejudiced and competent judges, that its compilers have by such a compilation conferred a very great boon upon the schoolmasters, and upon the rising generation of England. Its chief excellence consists in its clear arrangement, in its philosophical definitions, in its compression and brevity, and in its masterly condensation of some of the best results of modern scholarship. The Latin Primer, unlike the ordinary Latin Grammar, that appealed only to the memory, makes its appeal to the reason as well, and from the very first a boy is taught by it the useful task of bringing, in some degree, his reflective faculties into active exercise. In this way a pupil's mind is exercised in combining a series of facts under certain well-defined principles, and, as a natural consequence, his knowledge of the language is easily retained, and easily applied. A philosophical grammar, such as the Latin Primer, could not have been constructed without a philosophical terminology, and novel terms must necessarily arise under any new system of improvement and reconstruction. Those who impugn this new grammar on the score of its difficult terminology will find, we think, on a careful reconsideration of the matter, that the difficulties presented by the new terms are apparent rather than real, and that, after all, they are insignificant in number, and carefully explained in the Glossarium Grammaticum at the end of the book.'
