Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Grammar of the Latin Language for the Use of Schools and Colleges
When I acceded to the request of the publishers and the owners of the copyright of Andrews and Stoddard's Latin Grammar, that I should revise that work, I had no idea that the new book would be so unlike the original. In the thirty years, however, since the Grammar was last revised, opinions have changed a good deal as to what the contents of such a book should be, and how they should be presented, and our knowledge of the Latin language has made very great progress. I have consequently found myself driven further and further from the earlier form of the Grammar; but the apprehension I naturally felt at this result has been relieved somewhat by the fact that the learned authors of the original work confess to a similar experience. In justification of my procedure I cannot do better than quote the following words from their preface.
