THE INTRODUCTION OF The Eight Parts of Latin Speech, and a perfect succinct Explanation of the Royal and Authoriz'd, commonly call'd Lilly's Grammar, with several Amend∣ments, Supplements, and Animadversions.
I. THE Eight Parts of Speech, with their Accidents, explained and examined out of the Common Accidence, with a supply of many Defects, and an Addition and Resolution of many things necessary for Youth to know.
II. The Four Parts of Grammar discuss'd by Questions and Answers, the first being Or∣thographia, or rather Orthoepeia, careful∣ly to be observ'd by those that learn the La∣tin and English Tongue, with an account of the Points or Pauses which are to be minded in Writing and Reading. The Second Part being Etymologia, (to which all Words or Parts of Speech belong) under which Propria quae Maribus, Quae genus, and As in Pre∣senti are fully examin'd, the Defects sup∣plied with many Additions, and the Mistakes amended. The Third Part of Grammar, be∣ing

Syntaxis, is epitomiz'd and made shorter by two Thirds, with very small Alterations to the same Rules, and yet many things added; to which is subjoin'd an Examination thereof by Questions and Answers, with a short account of the Figures of Grammar, and with some hints to a School-Boy how he should be examin'd his Lesson in Latin. And last of all, the Fourth Part of Grammar, viz. Prosodia, is fully explain'd after the same manner, with a supply of many Defects. The whole comprising wha∣ever Brinsley, Dugard, Hool, Leech, or Walker, in his tedious Explanations and Quo∣tations, &c. have attempted upon Grammar after this manner of Questions and Answers, which certainly (as it is asserted by the greatest Judgments and Men of Learning) must be the best Method of instructing Youth in all sort of Knowledge. What is contain'd under different Characters, may be omitted by Tyrocinians, till they come to be something more knowing.
III. Observations concerning the Govern∣ment of Words by Signs.
IV. Rules to turn Latin into English, or English into Latin; with Directions to place Latin Words: Lastly, short Instructions to Tyrocinians, for composing of Themes, Verses, Epistles, Orations and Declamations.
