Thus, at the very outset, he finds himself already using the language. He is not only reading Latin, but actually writing it. FIRST YEAR IN LATIN.

8

This is a complete, philosophical, and attractive work. Facts are presented in clear and simple language. The work has been pronounced “a model for perspicuity of statement and clearness of arrangement." It is characterized by great accuracy of statement. It is a Grammar of the Latin Language based upon the facts of that language. The facts and laws of the language are all presented in the light of the latest and best grammatical studies, including comparative grammar.

It practically embraces three works in one.

The present edition is the result of a thorough and complete revision of that of 1874. To a large extent it is a new and independent work, yet the paradigms, rules of construction, and in general all parts intended for recitation, have been only slightly changed. The aim of the work in its present form is threefold:

I. To be a clear, simple, and convenient elementary Latin Grammar, giving the essentials for that use in distinctive type, and in the form best adapted to the end.

2. To be an adequate and trustworthy grammar for the advanced student-a complete grammar of the Latin language, for the use of critical students of every grade of scholarship.

3. To be a practical introduction to the broader fields of philology and modern linguistic research with references to the latest and best authorities upon the numerous questions which arise in such study.

Price, $1.12.
