Paperback (Forgotten Books May 10, 2017)
Excerpt from Joh. Amos Comenius's Visible World: Or a Nomenclature, and Pictures of All the Chief Things That Are in the World, and of Men's Employments ThereinThird,thence a new benefit cometh, that that very En g lish translation may serve for the more ready and pleasant learning of the Latin tongue as one may see in this edi tion, the whole book being so translated, that every where cine word answereth to the word over against it, and the book is in all things the same, only in two idioms, as a man clad in a double garment. And there might be also some observations and advertisements added in the end, touching those things only wherein the use of the Latin tongue difi'ereth from the English. For, where there is no difference, there needeth no advertisement to be given. But, because the first tasks of learners ought to be little and single, we have filled this first book of training one up to see a thing of himself, with nothing but rudiments, that is, with the chief of things and words, or with the grounds of the whole world, and the whole language, and of all our understanding about things. If a more perfect description of things, and a fuller knowledge of a lan guage, and a clearer light of the understanding be sought after (as they ought to be) they are to be found somewhere else, whither there will now be an easy passage by this our little Encyclo/mdia of things subject 'to the senses. Something remaineth to be said touching the more cheer. Ful use of this book.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
