Abstract

A Latin Grammar for Schools and Colleges, founded on Comparative Grammar

The article presents information on the book "A Latin Grammar for Schools and Colleges, Founded on Comparative Grammar," by Joseph H. Allen and James B. Greenough. The general methods of the work show sound judgment, and will commend themselves to good and enterprising teachers; for while the authors have not been led by their familiarity with the most advanced linguistic scholarship to depart from the simplicity of their task, they have at the same time made this new grammar peculiarly useful by giving just enough glimpses into the growing field of comparative philology to awaken the curiosity and engage the interest of such boys as give promise of developing any natural aptitude for broad linguistic studies.
