Excerpt from The Public School Latin Primer: Edited With the Sanction of the Head Masters of the Public Schools Included in Her Majesty's Commission The present Re-issue of the primer occurs nearly at the same time with the first issue of the public'school latin grammar, in which its principles are more 'fully developed and explained. It occurs also at a time when the Masters of English Schools, and Latin scholars generally, are alive to the duty of reforming-the pronunciation of Latin in the process of instruction. On this question Grammars in general are neutral, partly from an unwillingness to dogmatize on doubtful points, partly because the work of teaching how to pronounce can never be aecom plished so effectually by the school-books as by the vox viva of the Master in class lessons.
