EXERCISES UPON THE DIFFERENT PARTS OF ITALIAN SPEECH

TO WHICH IS ADDED,

AN ABRIDGMENT OF THE ROMAN HISTORY, INTENDED AT ONCE TO MAKE THE LEARNER ACQUAINTED WITH HISTORY, AND THE IDIOM OF THE ITALIAN LANGUAGE.

The EIGHTH EDITION, carefully revised and corrected.

Printed by T. C. Hansard, Peterboro'-court, Fleet-street, London.

These Exercises comprehend all the difficulties, and idiomatical expressions of the Italian language; the rules and exceptions of which are exemplified after such a method, that a learner cannot fail to become master of that language who has carefully gone through them once or twice.

The examples are of three sorts; the first, immediately following the rule, are short: as nothing farther is designed by them, than to illustrate that particular rule. The second sort are longer, and in them, not only the rule to which they refer, is exemplified, but also the foregoing ones are again brought into practice, the better to imprint them on the memory: since, were it not for this contrivance, learners would forget one rule, while they were learning another; the examples of the third kind, contain all the preceding, and some of the subsequent rules promiscuously; and for these reasons, are not to be attempted, until the student has gone twice at least, through the former part .

There is added, by way of Appendix, an Abridgment of the Roman History. As history is one of the most easy and entertaining parts of literature, and as that of the ancient Romans is absolutely necessary to a proper understanding of the Classics, I hope this addition will prove highly beneficial to young beginners.
