Kennedy Benjamin H. The Shorter Latin Primer

New and Revised Edition. — London: Longman Group Ltd, 1948. — 113 p.The aim of this new edition of The Shorter Latin Primer is to bring a well-known and popular school-book into closer accord with the grammatical conceptions which have established themselves since the last edition. As stated by Dr. B. H. Kennedy in his original preface, The Shorter Latin Primer was intended to be a simple manual for beginners in Latin, preparatory to the use of The Revised Latin Primer, It was, therefore, made in the main identical in its ground-plan and arrangement with The Revised Latin Primer in order to facilitate the passage of the learner from one book to the other. Bearing in mind the convenience of teachers who are accustomed to the older editions and who will for some time to come find copies of these editions in the hands of their pupils, the publishers have desired to leave not only the numbering of the paragraphs, but also the details of pagination, as far as possible, undisturbed. No fundamental change has, therefore, been made in the general plan of the book, and most of the old examples from Latin authors have been retained.
