[Transcriber's Note:

This text is intended for users whose text readers cannot use the "real"
(Unicode/UTF-8) version. In the Latin text, the "oe" diphthong is shown
as [oe] to distinguish it from the two-vowel sequence "oe" ("coeuntia").
The asterism used in the advertising section is shown as ***.

The Prosody section uses letters with macrons and breves ("long" and
"short" marks). In _this section only_, vowels with macron are shown
as CAPITALS, while vowels with breve are shown in {braces}. Long vowels
that are already capitalized (very rare) are shown in [brackets].

This book was written in 1840. It includes material that may be
offensive to some readers. Students should be cautioned that the book
predates "New Style" (classical) pronunciation. Note in particular
the pronunciation of "j" ("Never jam today") and of all vowels ("Yes,
you Can-u-leia").

In the main text, boldface type is shown in +marks+. In the advertising
section at the end, the same +marks+ represent sans-serif type.

Typographical errors are listed at the end of the text, along with some
general notes.]
