New Latin Grammar
Great pleasure attends the reissue of Bennett'sNew Latin Grammarby Bolchazy-Carducci. Unavailable since Allyn and Bacon's reprint went out of print many years ago, teachers and students alike can rejoice in its reappearance. Bennett's definitions and explanations of basic grammatical and syntactical points are a paragon of clearness and succinctness. I strongly recommend it for all high-school teachers and for undergraduates at all levels; for graduate students and scholars it is ideal for a quick look since the organization is clear and 'user-friendly.' --Robert I. Curtis, University of Georgia, The Classical OutlookThis is truly Latin grammar at its finest: logical and succinct...indispensable for undergraduate majors and minors and even clear enough to use at the secondary level. It is simply the best. --Bette J. Ruellan, University of San FranciscoWhat a joy it is to have Bennett'sNew Latin Grammaravailable again to a wide audience of students and instructors of Classics! The Grammar presents clearly and precisely with short, specific examples from primary sources the inflections and syntax of Latin and gives a fundamental understanding of the sounds, accent, particles and word formation in the Latin language.In addition to the clear presentation of these essential principles of grammar and syntax, Bennet's Grammar provides a student with a brief, but well defined history of the Indo-European family of languages, and also of the stages of development of the Latin language.Students and instructors will find especially helpful Bennett's sections on prosdy, the Roman calendar, Roman names and the definitions and examples of figures of syntax and rhetoric.I strongly recommend Bennett's Grammar as an essential tool in the learning of every level of instruction. --Richard L. Trapp, San Francisco State University
