Reddenda Minora: Or Easy Passages for Unseen Translation for the Use of Lower Forms (Clarendon Press Series)

From the Preface.
This little volume is intended as introductory to the larger work, Anglice Reddenda, several masters having expressed a wish to have an easier book of exercises in 'unseen' translation for the use of their junior classes. The exigences of entrance examinations have made it necessary, or at least highly desirable, that boys should be trained in the practice of this kind of work at an earlier stage than was formerly required, and the following selections have been prepared with a special view to this object.
Part I, in both languages, contains examples of ordinary case construction and of the infinitive in Oratio Obliqua; in Part II the use of the conjunctive mood in dependent clauses is illustrated in its simpler forms; Part III is made up of continuous pieces, original and adapted, with descriptive headings.
I have much pleasure in acknowledging my obligations to J. J. Cross, Esq., Assistant Master at the College, Newton Abbott, to whose valuable help the preparation of the Latin extracts is in a great measure due.
