    Io ha ponite un copia complete del libro "The Master Language"
[Lingua Maestrese] de Stephen Chase Houghton (1907) in le TTT al URL
in alto.  Io ipse es de opinion que le nomine del libro e del lingua
es vermente deplorabile, sed io discoperiva le lingua de esser
interessante.  Su vocabulario se basa firmemente a Latino modificate,
usante le ordine anglese del vocabulos.  Un avantage major de illo es
que il existe dictionarios reciproc a Latino in re multe linguas;
ergo, dictionarios independente del lingua non ha necessitate.  Io ha
facite le libro a esser disponibile ad alteres le quales pote haber
interesse de linguas auxiliar fundate ex Latino, e io ha addite un
introduction e alicun commentos mie.

   I have placed a complete copy of Stephen Chase Houghton's book "The
Master Language" (1907) on the world wide web at the URL above.  I
myself am of the opinion that the name of the book and the language
is truly deplorable, but I find the language to be interesting.  Its
vocabulary is based squarely on modified Latin with English word
order.  A major advantage of it is that two-way Latin dictionaries
exist for many languages, so separate dictionaries for the language
are not necessary.  I have made the book available to others who may
have interest in Latin-based auxiliary languages and have added
a preface and a few comments of my own.
