Présentation de l'éditeur
Ths Orammai here presented to the publle origiotted in a design, formed sereral years since; of preparing a new edition of A dams Latin Grammar, with saeh additions and corrections as the existing state of classical learning plainly demanded. We had not proceeded far in the execution of this purpose, before we wo qimpressed with the connction, which our subsequent researches continually confirmed, that the defects in that manual were so nomwous, and of so fundamental a character, that they could not be remored without a radical change in the plan of the work. Since the first publication of that Grammar, rapid advances have been made in the science of philology, both in Great Britain and upon the continent of Europe. In the mean time, no corresponding change has been made in that work, and, after the lapse of half a century, it still continues, in its original form, to occupy its place in most of the public and private schools in this country. For this continuance of public faror it has been indebted, partly to a greater fiilness of detail than was found in the small grammars whiclrit has superseded, partly to the reluctance so commonly felt to lay aside a manual with which all are familiar; but, principally; to the acknowledged fact, that the grammars which hare been proposed as substitutes, not excepting even those translated from the German, though often replete with philosq hica] views of the higheet interest, have still been destitute of many of the essential requisites of a complete introduction to theL atin language.
