Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Grammar of the Latin Language: For the Use of Schools and Colleges
The third prominent peculiarity of the original work was its direct derivation of the rules of Syntax from the logical analysis of sentences, and its distinct specification of the particular use of each of the several words of which a sen tence is composed. This method of treating syntax - a method previously un known in the schools of this country - has, since that period, been extensively adopted, and in some instances greatly extended, particularly in a portion of the English grammars recently published in this country, and has probably contributed more to the advancement of grammatical science, than any other innovation of modern times.
The errors noticed in the original work have been corrected, as successive editions have issued from the press, but no Opportunity has occurred, until the present, of thoroughly revising it in every part. Two years of continuous labor have now been devoted to its revision, and to the purpose of rendering it conformable in all respects to the advanced position which it originally aspired to occupy.
