A model of clarity and precision, Bennett's New Latin Grammar uses copious specific examples from primary sources to teach Latin's inflections, syntax, sounds, accents, particles, and word formations. This reprint of Bennett's 1908 revised grammar remains a highly regarded, widely-used resource both in and out of the classroom. Traditional in its structure and exhaustive in its scope, the descriptions of all things grammatical remain accessible and current after over 100 years of Latin pedagogy.

 

"The object of this book," stated Bennett in the preface to his 1894 edition, "is to present the essential facts of Latin grammar in a direct and simple manner, and within the smallest compass consistent with scholarly standards."
