Author Description

Latin is always with us, as Jon R. Stone successfully demonstrated in *Latin for the Illiterati* (Routledge 1996). Now, in *More Latin for the Illiterati* (Routledge 1999), Stone has sharpened his focus and concentrates on the three areas where the Latin language is the most prevalent and its influence is the strongest: Medicine, Law, and Religion. In this useful and engaging sequel to *Latin for the Illiterati*, Stone presents many more of the Latin words and phrases that continue to play a vital role in the lexicon of everyday English. — from the back-cover of *More Latin for the Illiterati*.
