Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Manual of Latin Grammar: For the Use of Schools; Intended Especially as a First Grammar; And to Be Used Preparatory to the Study of the More Copious and Complete Grammar of Andrews and Stoddard
A main object in the present work was, to furnish an easy introduction to the more full and complete Grammar of Andrews and Stoddard. For this purpose, care has been taken to retain in the Manual, as far as practicable, the same phraseology, the same illustrations, the same divisions and subdivisions contained in the Grammar; so that when the scholar shall enter upon the study of the larger work he will not be perplexed by meeting familiar principles in a new garb, or a new place, but will find the knowledge already ac quired, and the rules already learned, meeting and cheering him, like old friends, at every step of his further progress.
It has been thought best to retain so much of the Gram-3 mar as may be required in reading the several works of the series edited by the late Dr. Andrews, viz. Latin Exercises, Latin Reader, Viri Romae, Caesar's Commentaries, Sallust and Ovid.
In pursuance of the plan above indicated, the correspond ing portions of the Grammar and Manual are designated by like divisions and numbers, and where, in the Manual, any subdivision found in the Grammar, has been omitted, the subdivision next following is numbered as if such omission had not occurred; and it will be found, therefore, that the references to the Grammar, contained in the works above named, are equally applicable to the Manual.
