A Latin Grammar for Schools and Colleges

A comprehensive guide to classical Latin, this grammar walks readers through every foundational element—from the basic sounds of the language to the intricacies of complex sentence construction. Organized into clearly numbered sections, it first explores phonetics and word formation before moving on to the detailed inflection of nouns and verbs, and finally to the mechanics of simple and compound sentences. An extensive appendix and thorough indices of subjects and Latin words make it a handy reference for students at any level.

Compiled from decades of Harvard teaching, the work reflects a scholar’s relentless pursuit of precision. After the original author’s untimely death, trusted colleagues finished the manuscript, preserving his meticulous approach and adding fresh examples drawn from classical authors. Readers will appreciate the blend of rigorous analysis and historical insight that brings each grammatical rule to life.
