Book excerpt: The Comic Latin Grammar A new and facetious introduction to the Latin tongue By John Leech He begs that so much as the consciousness of being answerable for a great deal of nonsense, usually prompts a man to say, in the hope of disarming criticism, may be considered to have been said already. But he particularly requests that the want of additions to his book may be excused; and pleads, in arrest of judgment, his numerous and absorbing avocations.

Download or read book The Comic Latin Grammar written by Percival Leigh and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-25 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Comic Latin Grammar: A New and Facetious Introduction to the Latin Tongue, written by Percival Leigh and illustrated by John Leech, is a delightful and humorous take on a grammar textbook. The Comic Latin Grammar is modeled after a popular grammar textbook of the 1700s. Author Percival Leigh explores the English language with his tongue firmly planted in his cheek. "That boys should be instructed in the Latin language will be denied by few (although by some eccentric persons this has been done)" states the author, "That they can be expected to learn what they cannot laugh at will, to all reflecting minds, especially on perusing the foregoing considerations, appear in the highest degree unreasonable." Percival Leigh understands that language can be fun, and this book is written to demonstrate this viewpoint. The book proceeds as one would expect a grammar textbook to, with examinations of the parts of speech, verb conjugations and tenses, and analysis of word etymology. The Comic Latin Grammar is truly a pleasure to read. Copiously illustrated, it is both informative and entertaining. Leigh is a masterful writer, and the text is littered with clever wordplay and subtle gags. At less than two hundred pages it is a short book, but one that reader's will likely return to frequently. Percival Leigh has created a love letter to the English language in The Comic Latin Grammar: A New and Facetious Introduction to the Latin Tongue. This is a charming and at times hilarious read that will appeal to all those who truly love the power and peculiarities of words.

Download or read book How to Tell a Joke written by Marcus Tullius Cicero and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2021-03-30 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Timeless advice about how to use humor to win over any audience Can jokes win a hostile room, a hopeless argument, or even an election? You bet they can, according to Cicero, and he knew what he was talking about. One of Rome’s greatest politicians, speakers, and lawyers, Cicero was also reputedly one of antiquity’s funniest people. After he was elected commander-in-chief and head of state, his enemies even started calling him “the stand-up Consul.” How to Tell a Joke provides a lively new translation of Cicero’s essential writing on humor alongside that of the later Roman orator and educator Quintilian. The result is a timeless practical guide to how a well-timed joke can win over any audience. As powerful as jokes can be, they are also hugely risky. The line between a witty joke and an offensive one isn’t always clear. Cross it and you’ll look like a clown, or worse. Here, Cicero and Quintilian explore every aspect of telling jokes—while avoiding costly mistakes. Presenting the sections on humor in Cicero’s On the Ideal Orator and Quintilian’s The Education of the Orator, complete with an enlightening introduction and the original Latin on facing pages, How to Tell a Joke examines the risks and rewards of humor and analyzes basic types that readers can use to write their own jokes. Filled with insight, wit, and examples, including more than a few lawyer jokes, How to Tell a Joke will appeal to anyone interested in humor or the art of public speaking.
