The Revised Latin Primer, Paperback / softback Book

The Revised Latin Primer Paperback / softback

Part of the Cambridge Library Collection - Classics series

Paperback / softback

Description

Described by Mary Beard in The Independent as 'the Rolls Royce of textbooks', Kennedy's classic 1888 guide has remained the pre-eminent Latin reference grammar in schools and universities for well over a century.

This is a reissue of the first edition, which appeared the year before the author's death.

Benjamin Hall Kennedy (1804-1889), headmaster of Shrewsbury School for thirty years before becoming Regius Professor of Greek at Cambridge, was probably assisted by his daughters in producing this completely revised version of an earlier, unsuccessful publication.

From tables of nouns and verbs to obscure nuances of style, the book covered all the key points of Latin grammar and was detailed, well-organised and easy to use.

This original Victorian edition will fascinate present-day students and teachers of Latin and historians of education.
