A new torch to the Latine tongue - 1667
This 1667 volume includes title pages in both Latin and English and dedications in Latin. It lacks the formulaic layout of later teaching grammars and maintains more of the prose style seen in the grammar sections of earlier dictionaries. Conjugations, for example, are shown by means of sentences rather than tables.
