This frequently reprinted volume is the 'sine qua non' for all who would attempt to write faultless classical Latin Prose. It is impressively detailed in explaining syntactical nuances, in its exemplification and in the range of its exercises (sentences and continuous proses) than any other successive prose composition text books. The original version by Thomas Kerchever Arnold was so thoroughly revised by G.G. Bradley, Master of Marlborough, later master of University College, Oxford, and Dean of Westminster, that it became commonly known as 'Bradley's Arnold'. In 1938, J.F. Mountford, who was Professor of Latin at the University of Liverpool, with a team of eminent young classicists (including Stanley Bonner and Frank Walbank) undertook a further ongoing revision and added the appendix of 125 passages for continuous prose composition. Mountford's 'Bradley's Arnold' remains an essential sourcebook.

This frequently reprinted volume is the 'sine qua non' for all who would attempt to write faultless classical Latin Prose.
