The protective barrier that separates Westland from its neighbors to the east is about to fall, letting loose a monstrous evil upon the world.

This book is intended for use in the first and second years of the secondary course. It has been divided into two parts, each part being intended for a year, although an advanced first year form could proceed with the second part, and a backward second year form might with advantage revise the first part. It is intended to precede, or at least to accompany, the study of composition, and treats chiefly of those speech-forms which present difficulties to Egyptian students. Of these difficulties, the question of tenses and their sequence is perhaps the most obstinate, and has received accordingly full treatment.

A section of "classifieds" include scholarship and award opportunities. A new color insert contains 4 pages of full color images to amplify the text.
