The object of the present publication is to correct the falsities and supply the defects of the common Grammar. Many scholars have of late engaged, professedly, in a similar undertaking, and with similar views; but all have wholly overlooked the two great errors which disgrace the Eton Grammar, and which above all required correction-wrong Genders and false Perfects; not to speak of the absurdity of clogging the Latin Verb with a host of Supines, which never existed except in the brain of Grammarians. An incredible number of such falsities might be here adduced, if necessary; but they will be found noticed in the following pages. When it is a known truth, that very few Latin Verbs have what are called Supines, why should not the Supine be excluded from the formation of the Latin Verb, and the Perfect Participle Passive substituted instead, as in other languages? When many of the Perfects found in Grammars and Dictionaries are formed solely from Analogy, and have no existence in the Classics, why should not such Perfects be erased, and those only substituted which are found in the writings of the ancients?

The Grammatical Institutes of Priscian were the chief groundwork of the early Latin Grammars. A comparison of his works, as edited by Krehl in 2 vols. 8vo. Lips. 1819-20, with the edition by Putsch. in 4to. Hanov. 1605, will fully prove the futility of compiling a Grammar from such materials. Succeeding compilers have been content with following the dictum of their predecessors, not giving themselves the VOL. XXXVII. Cl. JI. NO. LXXIII. L

trouble of referring altogether to the true source, the Latin Classics. This reference has at length been made: and, although it had occupied several years, such is the result, that the present compiler has reason to be pleased with his labor, and trusts the public also will not deem the time mispent. His avocation as one of the Editors of Mr. Valpy's incorporated Edition of the Delphin and Variorum Classics, for the last six years, has conduced much to promote his research, and afforded him an opportunity of consulting, not only the very best Indexes of the Latin Classics, but also many other works of reference rarely to be met with.

The method of the present Grammar may, to some, appear complex, and the rules too numerous; but these objections must vanish, when the mode of teaching it shall have been pointed out. It is not the compiler's intention, that all the rules should be committed to memory: nor is it, indeed, necessary; for, as Seneca very justly observes, "Longum iter est per præcepta, breve et efficax per exempla." It is absolutely necessary, however, that a sufficiency of rules should be given in an elementary work of this kind, as guides for the learner. Oral explanation from a diligent master, with constant parsing, will be sufficient to impress most of the rules of Accidence on the youthful memory. But when a general rule has many exceptions, as, for instance, in the Rules for the Genders of Nouns, such exceptions must be fixed indelibly in the mind, and for this reason they have been comprised in Latin Hexameters. These exceptions, however, are not intended for the mere beginner.

In the Etymological part two sorts of type have been used, Long Primer and Brevier. At first the pupil should commit to memory the Paradigmata of Substantives, Adjectives, Pronouns, and Verbs, with a few Definitions of the Parts of Speech, and of their Accidence, &c. besides the lists of Irregular Verbs in pp. 125–128. 134-139. 142-180. Afterwards he should learn as much of the English Rules in the larger type, as the master may think necessary for the time. When he is perfect in the Paradigmata, he should be accustomed to decline Substantives and Adjectives together, Adjectives by themselves through all degrees of Comparison, and to turn all the variations of an Active Verb into a Passive form, and versa vice. It will be useful also to make him decline Substantives in the following manner, taking all similar Cases together:

Sing, Nom. Dominus; Voc. Domine; Gen. Domini; Dat. et Abl. Domino; Acc. Dominum. Plur. Nom. et Voc. Domini; Gen. Dominorum; Dat. et Abl. Dominis; Acc. Dominos.

Sing. Nom. Acc. et Voc. Regnum; Gen. Regni; Dat. et Abl. Regno. Plur. Nom. Acc. et Voc. Regna; Gen. Regnorum; Dat. et Abl. Regnis. Sing. Nom. et Voc. Honor; Gen. Honoris; Dat. Honori; Acc. Honorem; Abl. Honore. Plur. Nom. Acc. et Voc. Honores; Gen. Honorum; Dat. et Abl. Honoribus.

For exercises of this nature, copious lists of Substantives, Adjectives, and Verbs, have been added throughout.

In compiling the Syntax two objects have been kept in view, brevity and perspicuity; yet brief as it is, it embraces every observation contained in the Eton Syntax, with the exception of its falsities; besides many other necessary remarks not to be found in that Abridgment of Lily. The Eton arrangement has been retained as far as was consistent with the present plan; and sometimes the language of Ruddiman,

when consistent with truth and perspicuity. In citing examples neither have been followed; as the examples here given are derived purely from the best classical sources. It is printed on types of three sizes. The most important Rules are in the largest type, and to be learned first. The examples are without English, for the purpose of initiating the youthful pupil in construing, who, after he has once learned the principal Rules, and carefully parsed and construed the examples, may proceed to the Latin Delectus, or some other easy book, and at the same time commence turning simple English sentences into Latin. The Rules in smaller type are now to be taught, and applied to the daily lessons in construing. The notes in the smallest type, as well as those in the other parts of the book, are intended for the more advanced student.

The fourth part of Grammar has been here omitted; it being the compiler's intention to republish, in a separate volume, his Treatise on Latin Prosody, now out of print. But the quantities of almost every Latin word throughout have been carefully marked, for the purpose of insuring a correct pronunciation; so that when a pupil has twice gone through this little book with care, he must have acquired a tolerable knowlege of Quantity.

Thus far he has deemed it necessary to preface his little work, which to the judicious scholar and the candid critic he humbly submits, that it may speak more fully for itself.
