Ora Maritima A Latin Story for Beginners, with Grammar and Exercises
by E. A. Sonnenschein
The scene of the story is laid on the South Coast of England, and includes a sketch of the ancient Britons and of Caesar's invasions of Britain.
OPINIONS
"The book is just. A1, clearly right in conception and admirably executed."
- P. A. Barnett, M.A., H.IVI. Chief Inspector for the Training of Teachers.
"We have adopted both Ora Maritima and Pro Patria in our Latin classes at Manchester Grammar School, and have never had reason to regret their adoption. Both books have interest and continuity, and both lend themselves excellently to oral practice."
- J. L. Paton, M.A., High Master of the Manchester Grammar School.
"The most attractive introduction to Latin that has come under my notice, and I have seen most of them in the secondary schools which I inspect."
- John Keru, LL.D., late H.M. Chief Inspector of Schools and Training Colleges in Scotland.
"It makes a new departure in the teaching of Latin that ought to be productive of great good. I am in entire sympathy with its method."
- A. E. Scougal, H.M. Senior Chief Inspector of Schools 'n Scotland.
"I have used Ora Maritima in actual teaching, and have found it both interesting and instructive to the pupil." - Professor J. P. Postgate, Litt.D.
"Ora Maritima proves an ideal book for a first reader."
- W. H. D. Rouse, Litt.D., Head Master of the Perse School, Cambridge.
"Exactly what is needed to strike a mean between the wholly conversational method, which means no grammar, and the solely grammatical method, which means no speech or life."
- Sybil F. Partridge, Principal of St. Mary's Hall, Liverpool.
"This is a charming book. We know no better epithet by which to describe such an introduction to the Latin tongue.... It is giving a strong recommendation to say, as we gladly do, that our author has given us the ideal book which he formerly described."
- Secondary Education
"We can conceive no more delightful book for the induction of youth into the paths of Latin."
- The Monthly Register
"An interesting experiment, ably carried out."
-Journal of Education
"It aims at teaching a little thoroughly, and it succeeds."
- School World
"An extremely simple and interesting book."
- Literary World
"The drill exercises are specially to be commended. In the presence of the impending campaign against classical education, it behoves its defenders to furbish up their weapons."
- Saturday Review"Ora Maritima does for Latin what the modern oral methods do for French and German, i.e., it makes the beginner realize that the language is really a vehicle of expression, whereby common-sense notions can be conveyed. From personal experience I can testify how a few weeks are sufficient to gain this all-important idea ; and it is worth adding that in a school which I have recently inspected a small boy of eleven employed his leisure time in working through Ora Maritima to the end, and then came to his master for the sequel Pro Patria. There was no need to tell that boy that Latin is something more than a phalanx of declinable nouns and verbs."
- Alfred Hughes, M.A., Professor of Education in the University of Birmingham.
