Excerpt from Adam's Latin Grammar: With Some Improvements, and the Following Additions: Rules for the Right Pronunciation of the Latin Language, A Metrical Key to the Odes of Horace, A List of Latin Authors Arranged According to the Different Ages of Roman LiteratureAt the time this book was first compiled, the state of ed ucation in Scotland may have been such as to render' the connexion of the Latin with the English necessary, in the manner they were blended by Dr. Adam, but that meces sity does not exist in this country, where English grammar is separately taught from the more complete systems of Lowth and Murray. For this reason, and because what is not used in a manual becomes a hindrance, the portion per taining exclusively to English grammar has been omitted in this edition, and some few additions and alterations have been made which were deemed important. But in all cases where it was practicable, the words of the original grammar have been reserved.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
