Claire Le Hur, Head of Classics, Rugby School -- Claire Le Hur Seigel's 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.'

T.E.W. Hawkins, Head of Classics, Eton College -- T.E.W Hawkins 'This is a book of very great value and will be eagerly received by classicists...
