Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Essentials of Latin Grammar
It is proper to add that I put forth no claim to original research, my Object being to make a school-book. If the plan and arrangement do not justify its publication, there is nothing else in it to do so. I have not tried, moreover, in seeking for the best and clearest arrange ment, to avoid what has been already used by others. I have freely taken from every source, whatever, in the way of expression, or classi fication, seemed good for my purposef The teacher who is familiar with the various Latin grammars issued within the last twenty years, will find much taken directly from them; more than I can acknowl edge in detail. On questions Of fact and, usage, I have depended almost entirely on Roby's Latin Grammar, and have drawn freely on his citations from Latin authors, for-illustrative examples. His full collections of illustrative words and sentences have saved a great amount of labor that would have been needed to find appropriate illustrations.
