Abstract
THE title-page sufficiently describes the contents of this little volume. We think the idea of making such a collection a happy one, not only for scholastic purposes, but also for the use of those who wish to be able at any time easily to refer to any of the passages in Latin authors in which our island is referred to. Mr. Cayzer gives also translations of some of the chief references in Greek writers. We should think, if teachers and examiners could be persuaded to break through custom, the introduction of such a book into schools would add interest to the reading of Latin, and furnish, besides, the little fellows with a stock of valuable information. Most of the cuts are appropriate, several being old friends.
Britannia: A Collection of the Principal Passages in Latin Authors that Refer to this Island.
With Vocabulary and Notes. By Thos. S. Cayzer., Head-Master of Queen Elizabeth's Hospital, Bristol. Illustrated with a Map and twenty-nine Woodcuts. (London: Griffith and Farran, 1878.)
