Follow my advice to read either or both of these languages in a few months. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you want to learn Latin, you should first get hold of the shortest Latin grammar you can find. You must read through this, to get an overview. Do not try memorise the declensions and conjugations. The most you need is a vague awareness of how things like accusative cases and present participles look, and enough of an overview to know where to look if the English is not clear enough as a key to the grammar of the Latin. It is only when you start looking up particular issues that you should pay attention to things like ablative absolutes and subjunctives. Do not try in advance to learn the grammar. It is to be consulted not committed to memory. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou now begin with 1:1-\u003ci\u003eprimum quidem sermonem feci de omnibus o Theophile quae coepit Iesus facere et docere.\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRead it aloud so that you can familiarise yourself with the sound of the language. You then turn to the English-The former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou puzzle out the Latin. \u003ci\u003ePrimum\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003esermonem\u003c\/i\u003e you can guess from their English derivatives mean former treatise. You may recall from your skimming of the grammar that nouns ending in m are likely to be direct objects. Feci seems to correspond with have I made. Omnibus is used in English to mean the whole of something, and so probably means all. \u003ci\u003eO Theophile\u003c\/i\u003e explains itself, though you may look in your grammar to confirm that it is a vocative case-that is, a form showing that someone is being spoken to. And so you continue, corresponding Latin to English by guesswork or by looking for English derivatives. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnce you have finished with the first three verses, you commit them in both Latin and English to memory. This is not as hard as it sounds. What you have here is a text with an overall meaning. It is easier to memorise than the meanings of individual words. You could look up \u003ci\u003edoceo\u003c\/i\u003e (I teach), and try to remember its various forms. You will do better to recognise \u003ci\u003edocere\u003c\/i\u003e (present infinitive) as a word in its context that means to teach. Equally, you should avoid digging round to find that \u003ci\u003efeci\u003c\/i\u003e is the perfect form of \u003ci\u003efacio\u003c\/i\u003e, and keep reciting \u003ci\u003efacio\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003efeci\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003efactum\u003c\/i\u003e. Trying to remember the meanings of words is harder than remembering the sentences in which they occur. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReading the first chapter in this way will be hard work. If you get that far, though, the second will be easier. By the time you get to the fourth, you will be able to read simple Latin. At this point, you will have outgrown the simple grammar you started with, and can get a copy of \u003ci\u003eThe Revised Latin Primer\u003c\/i\u003e, which will now become your main work of reference. As you continue, you will find that you are turning to the English version only for new words that you cannot guess from their look or context, or to resolve ambiguities in the unpunctuated Latin. As you continually turn back to revise, you will see that previous difficulties no longer exist. Long before you get to Chapter 28, you will have become moderately competent in Latin. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you want to learn Greek, and already know some Latin, you will use the Latin text as your key to the Greek. Also, you will benefit from a more comprehensive grammar. Again, you should skim this, not trying to memorise what you read. The purpose is to know where to look for the answers to specific questions that may arise. You will see at once, that while it is a more complex language, with more exceptions to its general rules, Greek is structurally similar to Latin. There is no dead easy way to learn any language. But this is easier than most, and is the method used before the 17th century.

Single-handedly and within a few weeks, it transformed the language of analysis and action on the British political right.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eGabb's central thesis is that the British ruling class has, since 1997, turned itself into a totalitarian conspiracy, at war both with liberty and with tradition. It fights this war through the traditional means of state power and state propaganda, but also through its achievement of cultural hegemony. Controlling a single plot line of Eastenders is more important than a thousand editorials in The Guardian.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe only response for non-leftists is to seize control of the State and to shut most of it down. The present ruling class all sucks from the nipple of the State. Stop the flow of milk, and the ruling class will collapse. Once this is done, Gabb sets out a challenging agenda of libertarian minimal statism - for all the usual libertarian reasons, but also because that is the only option at present for conservatives and the various kinds of nationalist.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNow seen as a classic, this book is key to any understanding of rightist discourse in modern England. It is a must-read for activists of all persuasions, for political scientists, and for anyone who wants to understand the world in order to change it.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch4\u003eFrom the Reviews:\u003c\/h4\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"Sean Gabb's case is that England has been taken over by a new ruling class, one that it totalitarian in its ambitions, in that it seeks to direct our thinking in every aspect of our culture. Not content with political power - indeed, its influence is more powerful and pervasive than that of government, it wants to mould our behaviour and even our thought to its own norms.\" (Madsen Pirie)\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"What comes to mind, as I read Sean's jeremiad is how silly American movement conservatives are when they glorify the \"Anglosphere\" and celebrate \"our two countries\" as paradigmatic \"capitalist democracies.\" Today's England is a moral-social basket case, full of violent crime, outrageous state-enforcement of political correctness, and protected Muslim extremists.\" (Paul Gottfried)\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"But the remarkable fact is not our disagreement on cultural matters, but that I concur with so much of his analysis of the effect of \"political correctness\" and multiculturalism as ruling class ideologies. Like Gabb, I see official multiculturalism in the hands of the New Class and its state agencies as an instrument of division and control, serving a ruling class that prefers a population without the cohesion to resist.\" (Kevin Carson)\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"His new book is not the run-of-the-mill attack on political correctness that many writers indulge in; he does not merely recycle tabloid headlines, but goes deep into the heart of the political revolution known as \"political correctness\" that is destroying our country. He then outlines his manifesto for counter-revolution, the cornerstone of which is unilateral withdrawal from the European Union. The ground is covered in 105 pages with not a word wasted and in a style that is extremely readable as well as enlightening, a rare quality in an academic. His words hit the target as effectively as an English bowman on St Crispin's Day. Be warned, Dr Gabb pulls no punches and to many his medicine will seem extreme.\" (A Brief Encounter)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":50450619793681,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50450620055825,"sku":"GOR009874405","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1985214962.jpg?v=1764845260"},{"product_id":"herodotus-and-homer-for-gcse-greek-texts-translations-and-grammatical-support-fo-book-sean-gabb-9798308537694","title":"Herodotus and Homer for GCSE Greek: Texts, Translations and Grammatical Support for The 2025-26 OCR Specification (Greek and Latin Readers)","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51797563441425,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51797563638033,"sku":"GOR014403219","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9798308537694.jpg?v=1752157783"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-sean-gabb.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
