Review :
'Mike Seigel's book, building on the strengths of its previous edition, gives an accessible and succinct account of Latin syntax which will be very useful to students from pre-GCSE to A-level.'
"John Taylor, Head of Classics, Tonbridge School" 'The new edition is as clear and concise as the previous edition but takes things even further which means it can be used for pupils of all ages and abilities. The explanations are sound, the exercises and passages are really useful. It makes teaching Latin language a lot easier!'
"Claire Le Hur, Head of Classics, Rugby School" 'This is a book of very great value and will be eagerly received by classicists... Its great virtues are lucidity of explanation, utterly authentic 'scholarship-style' questions appended to the passages... and sheer scope of relevant practice delivered.'
"Chris Jackson, Head of Classics, King's College School, London" 'Mr. Seigel's aim is to expound and illustrate all the basic Latin constructions. His explanations are clear and concise, and makes the book a valuable vade-mecum, as well as an excellent source of material, for those pupils who already have some two years of Latin behind them and who want to secure their grasp of syntax, extend their vocabulary and improve their translation skills.'
"Stephen Baldock, former High Master, St Paul's School, London" 'Senior School departments will fall hungrily upon the book to breach holes sometimes left by the Cambridge Latin course. Scholarship Schools could have no better preparation... this is a book of very great value and will be eagerly received by classicists. It has all the rigour and thoroughness of a Wilding. Its great virtues are lucidity of explanation, utterly authentic 'scholarship-style' questions appended to the passages... and sheer scope of relevant practice delivered.'
"Chris Jackson, Head of Classics, King's College School, London"
