Présentation de l'éditeur
The Preface to the authors Latin Grammar, published four years since, contains the following announcement: For the benefit of those who prefer to begin with a more elementary manual in the study of Latin, it is in contemplation to publish a smaller Grammar on precisely the same plan as the present work, and with the same mode of treatment. The work thus announced is now offered to the public. It is intended especially for those who do not contemplate a collegiate course of study, but it may be successfully used in any school where for special reasons a small Grammar is deemed desirable. Many teachers prefer an elementary text-book in the class-room, provided it can be properly supplemented in later study by a more complete discussion of the subject. But a manual which must soon give place to a more extended work on a different plan involves an inexcusable waste of time and labor. It burdens the memory of the pupil with rules and grammatical formulas which must, as far as possible, be unlearned as soon as he passes to his larger Grammar. The beginner needs to store his mind at the outset with the laws of the language in such forms of statement as he can carry with him throughout his whole course of study.
