A new grammar of the Latin tongue . Or, a rational, short, comprehensive, and plain method of teaching that language. Freed from The many Obscurities, Defects, Superfluities, and Errors, which render the Common Grammar an insufferable Impediment to the Progress of Education. Commodiously contrived, As well for initiating Learners, as for the Convenience of those who, through Disuse, may have partly lost their Latin. To which is added a vocabulary, and A Practical Apparatus for Latin Composition. By John Holmes, late Master of the Publick Grammar School in Holt, Norfolk. The twelfth edition, corrected and enlarged by E. Harwood, D.D. What wilt thou do? Wilt thou follow Reason, or thy Ancestors? Lact. Whatever Precepts you pretend to give, Be sure to lay them down both clear and brief; By that they're easier far to apprehend, By this more faithfully preserv'd in Mind: All Things superfluous are apt to cloy The Judgment, and surcharge the Memory.
