TIROCINIUM GALLICUM: A short French Grammar for Classical Schools, with frequent Comparison of the Latin. Second Edition, much enlarged

The object of this work is to present in a brief compass a full Synoptical View of French Accidence. It is intended to occupy a place between elementary grammars, intended for very young children, which do not contain enough for boys in the middle and lower forms of classical schools, and complete grammars for advanced pupils, which present such a labyrinth of details on all points of French grammar, as completely to puzzle the pupil to discover which are the most prominent and important, and which the less frequent, rules. PRAXIS IAMBICA; A Series Exercises in Greek Tragic Senarii: Index

This Introduction to the writing of Greek Iambics differs from similar works in several points. 1. The materials are drawn exclusively from ancient sources, so that none but purely classical Greek is employed in any part of the work. 2. Instead of beginning with entire verses, the exercises commence at first with single feet; then are given commencements of lines, then endings of various length and structure, thus leading the pupil on to complete lines, and longer passages. 3. The materials are anticleptically arranged, so that verses or sets of verses cannot be pilfered without trouble from the Poete Scenici, or the Greek Gradus. No two consecutive passages are taken from the same play; and occasionally

The work consists of-1. Rules for Pronunciation; 2 Accidence; 3. Vocabulary of common words; 4. A short Syntax of common rules; 5. An Appendix on the Derivation of French from Latin. The whole concludes with a systematic and progressive praxis on French grammar (on the plan of the author's Praxis Latina and Praxis Græca), intended as a help to both teacher and pupil, economising the time of the former and directing the efforis of the latter.

some slight change of number, tense, case, and person, or of proper name, is made, in order to enforce upon the pupil the necessity of translating the English into Greek for himself, even if he should accidentally light upon the line from which the example is taken. 4. An English-Greek INDEX of all the words in the Exercises from XII. to LXXXV. is added; and in it are given most of the irregular forms needed for composing the verses; so that the only book required to work this Praxis Iambica is a good Greek Grammar. A few Exercises in Trochaic Tetrameters, and Dimeter Anapæstics, are given at the end of the Iambics.
