The book is a collection of humorous and satirical poems written in English, but using Latin vocabulary and grammar. The poems were intended as a substitute for the traditional Latin verses that were often used in schools and universities at the time. The book is divided into several sections, each containing a different type of poem. Some of the poems are parodies of classical Latin poetry, while others are original compositions that use Latin vocabulary and grammar to create a humorous effect. In addition to the poems themselves, the book also includes a preface in which West explains the rationale behind his work. He argues that the traditional Latin verses used in schools and universities were often tedious and uninteresting, and that his book provides a more engaging and entertaining alternative. Overall, \"\"A Substitute For Nonsense Latin Verses\"\" is a witty and irreverent book that showcases West's talent for wordplay and satire. It remains a popular read for those interested in Latin literature and the history of education.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
