New Latin Grammar

The present book is a revision of my _Latin Grammar_ originally published

in 1895. Wherever greater accuracy or precision of statement seemed

possible, I have endeavored to secure this. The rules for syllable division

have been changed and made to conform to the prevailing practice of the

Romans themselves. In the Perfect Subjunctive Active, the endings _-īs_,

_-īmus_, _-ītis_ are now marked long. The theory of vowel length before the

suffixes -gnus, -gna, -gnum, and also before j, has been discarded. In the

Syntax I have recognized a special category of Ablative of Association, and

have abandoned the original doctrine as to the force of tenses in the

Prohibitive.
