It gives me great pleasure to bear my testimony to the supe rior merits of the

Latin G rammar late ly edItcd by Profe ssorAndrew s and Mr . Stoddard . I expressmost chee rfully, unhesitatingly, and d e c ided ly, my preference of this G rammar

to that of Adam,which has

,for so long a tune , kept almost und isputed sway

in our schools .—Dr . C . Beck, P rofessor of Latin in Harvard University.

Iknow of no grammar pub lished in this c ountry, w hich p rom ise s to answer so

we ll the purposes Of e lementary c lass ic al Instruc t ion ,and Shal l be glad to see it

introduced into our best SCllOO lS .—fifr . Charles K . Dillaway, dl aster of the

P ublic Latin School,Boston .

Your new Latin G rammar appears to me much be tter suited to the use of

students than any othe r gramm ar I am acquam ted w ith .—P rofessor William

Holland,lVa ihington College, IIartford , Conn .

I can w ith much p leasure say that your G rammar seem s to me m uch better

adapted to the pre sent c ond ition and wants ofou r schools than any one With whichIam acquainted

,and to supp l

jythat whic h has long been wanted a good Latin

grammar for c ommon use . Ir . F. G ardner,one of t/reMasters Boston Lat. Sch.

The Latin G rammar ofAndrew s and Stoddard is dese rving, in my opinion , of

the approbation which so m any of our ab lest teachers have bestow ed upon it.

It is be lieved that,of all the grammars at pre sent before the publ ic , this has

greatly the advantage , in regard both to the exc e l le nce of its arrangement , and

the acc uracy and c opiousness of its information ; and it is earnestly hoped that

its m erits w il l procure for it that gene ral favor and use to which it is entitled.

H. B . Hackett, P rofessor of Languages in Brown University.

The universal favor with which this G rammar is rec eived was not unexpected.It w ill bear a thorough and discriminatmg exam ination . In the u se of we l l

defined and expressive terms,espe c ial ly in the syntax, w e know of no Latin or

G reek grammar which is to be compared to this .— Amer . Quarterly Register .

The Latin G rammar of Andrews and Stoddard I consider a work of great

merit. [have found in it several principles of the Latin language correc tly ex

lained which I had myse lf learned from a twenty years’study of that language ,

but had never seen il lustrated in any grammar. And rews’s First Lessons 1 con

Qf College of Lou

These works will furnish a series of e lementary publications for the study of

Latin al toge ther in advance of any thing which has hitherto appeared , either in

this country or in England .—Amcrican Biblical Rep ository.

We have made Andrews and Stoddard’s Latin G rammar the subjec t both of

reference and recitation daily for several months,and I cheerfully and decided l

bear testimony to its superior exce l lence to any manual of the kind w ith whicI am acquainted . Every part bears the impress of a careful c ompiler. The

p rincip les of syntax are happily deve loped in the rules,whilst those re lating to

the moods and tenses supp ly an Im

portant deficiency in our former grammars .

The ru les of prosody are also c lear y and fully exhib1 ted .—Rev . Lyman Cole

man,P rincip al of Burr Seminary, JlIanchestcr , Vt.

I have examined Andrew s and Stoddard’s Latin G rammar

,and regard it as

superior to any thino1 of the kind now in use . It is what has long been needed

?and w il l undoubtedi’

y be we lcomed by e very one interested in the philology o

the Latin language . We shall hereafte r use it as a text- book in this institution.

Mr . W'

m. H. Shaler,P rincip al of the Connecticut Lil . Institution at Sufiield .

This work bears evident marks of great care and skil l and ripe and accurate

scho lars ln p in the authors . It excels most grammars in this particular, that,while by its lamne ss it is suited to the nece ssities of most beginners , by its

fulness and s tail it will satisfy the inquiries of the advanc ed scholar,and will

be a su itab le compan ion at al l stages of his progress . We cordially commendit to the student and teache r.

—Biblical Repository.

Your G rammar is what I expec ted it wou ld be an excel lent book,andjust the

thing which was needed . \Ve cannot hesitate a moment in laying aside the

books now In use,and introducing this .

—Rev . J . P enney, D . D .

,P resident of

Hamilton College, New York.

Your G rammar bears throughout evidence of original and thorough investiga

tion and sound c ritic ism . I hope , and doubt not, it w ill be adopted in our schoolsand c ol leges , it being,

in In ap rehension ,so far as simp lic ity is c oncerned

,on

the one hand , and philOSOp ica view s and sound scho larship on the other,far

prefe rab le to other grammars ; a work at the same time highly creditable to your

se lves and to our c ountry.—P rofessor A . P ackard

,Bowdoin College, Maine.

This G rammar appears to me to be accommodated alike to the w ants of the

new beginne r and the experienced scholar , and,as such

,well fitted to supply

what has long been fe lt to be a great desid eratum in the department of c lassical

learning. P rofessor S. North, Hamilton College, New Yor/t .

From such an exam ination of this G rammar as I have been able to give it, Ido not hesitate to pronounce it superior to any other w ith which I am acquainted .

I have never seen ,any where , a greater amount of valuab le matter c ompressed

within lim its equal ly narrow .—Hon . John Hall

,P rin . of E llington School, Conn.

\Ve have no hesitation in pronounc ing this G rammar decidedly superior to

any new in use .- Boston Recorder .

I am ready to express my great satisfaction w ith your G rammar,and do not

hesitate to say, that I am better p leased with such portions of the syntax as l

have perused , than with the corresponding portions in any other grammar withwhich I am acquainted —P rofessor N. W . Fislce, Amherst College, Mass.

I know of no

grammar in the Latin lang uage so w el l adapted to answer the

purpose for whic it was designed as this . The book ofQuestions is a valuableattendant of the G rammar. Simeon IIart, E sq.

,Farmington , Conn .

This G rammar has received the labor of years , and is the result of much re .

flec tion and experience , and mature scholarship . As such,it c laims the atten

tion of al l who are interested in the promotion of sound learning. N. Y. Obs.

This G rammar is an original w ork . Its arrangement is philosophical , and itsrules c lear and precise , beyond those of any other grammar we have seen .

P R E FACE . A 1

THE following Exerc ises form the concluding volume of a

series of elementary Latin works, the bas is of which is the Latin

G rammar of Andrews and Stoddard. In add ition to the G rammarand Exerc ises, the series includes, under the title of F irstLessonsin Latin ,” an abridgment of the G rammar, w ith short read ing lessons and corresponding exerc ises in syntax ; and also an edition of

“ Jacobs and Boring’s Latin Reader,” w ith cop ious references tothe larger G rammar.The volume now offered to the publ ic cons ists of exerc ises de

s igned to illustrate the princ iples of ortho '

e'

py, etymology, syntax ,and prosody, as exhib ited in the sameG rammar, and to render the irappl ication easy and fam il iar to the student.

The exerc ises in syntax are d ivided into two parts . In the first,which contains only short sentences , intended to illustrate the moreimportant p rinc iples of syntax, the rules are arranged in such a

manner, as to prevent, in a great degr ee, the introduction of idiomsnot previously illustrated. In the second part, the order of therules in the G rammar has been preserved, and the number of examples has b een proportioned, in some degree , to the importance or

difficulty of the rule. Subjoined to these are other examples ,

il lustrative of the more important remarks and exceptions undereach rule . To the examples of Engl ish and Latin sentences

,ar

ranged in corresponding columns,are added others , cons isting of

Engl ish sentences only, w ith notes des igned to aid the student in

his choice of words and phrases , and to lead him to the right construction . In the syntactic part of the work , Dr. Kenrick’s Exerc ises , adapted to his translation of Zumpt’s G rammar, have furn ishedmany of the most valuab le materials and whatever was wanting inthat work to complete the plan of these exerc ises has been suppl iedfrom other sources.

4 PRE FACE .

The prosodial exerc ises are taken from Bradley’s Prosody, andw ill be found particularly useful to those who w ish to acquil e the

art of writing Latin verses— an art, as experience has shown,

highly useful in improv ing the class ical taste of those who practiseit, and scarcely requ iring more time or labor for its acqu is ition thanis often spent in decrying it.In regard to the mode of us ing this work, much must be left to

the judgment of the teacher, who w ill be gu ided, in this respect,

by a cons ideration of the age and attainments of the student. In

general, the exercises in etymology, an d the shorter ones in syntax ,

c an be corrected after the first perusal of the Grammar ; while theremaining parts should be studied in connection w ith a thoroughreview of those portions of the Grammar to which they relate.

In commenc ing the study of this work, it may be best for the student

to write the princ ipal part of his exerc ises ; but subsequently, andespec ially in review ing it, oral translations will probably be foundmore useful. By this means, Engl ish words and phrases becomepermanently assoc iated w ith the corresponding Latin express ions,so that the latter are immed iately suggested by the former.

The exerc ises in hexameter and pentameter verses can be com

menced as soon as the student is well acquainted w ith the princ ipalrules of prosody. W ith these it may be found useful to connect the

compos ition of what are called nonsense verses, or l ines correctlyc ons tructed, accord ing to the rules of prosody, but w ithout, regardto the mean ing of the words of which they are composed. An

accurate knowledge of the mechanical structure of the verse may,in this way, be read i ly acquired ; after which the trans ition w illbe eas y, on the part of those who possess some share of poeticalgen ius , to the compos ition of sense verses.

YVhen the student is fam il iar w ith the exercises contained in thisvolume, he w ill be prepared to commence original compos ition ;which should always be accompan ied w ith a careful perusal of thebest Latin clas s ics,from which alone a pure idiom can be acqu ired.

SYNALZEPHA AND ECTHLIPSIS.
