Allen And Greenough'S New Latin Grammar For Schools And Colleges

By G L Kittredge

Book Overview

A foundational grammar that shaped generations of Latin learners. Precision, clarity and authority converge. Rooted in rigorous scholarship yet written for classroom use, Allen and Greenough's New Latin Grammar for Schools and Colleges remains a steady Latin language guide, concise where possible and exhaustive where necessary. This Latin grammar textbook functions as both a classical language reference and a practical manual for students and teachers. It presents a complete Latin grammar through clear paradigms and succinct explanations that illuminate Latin syntax and morphology, and it reduces complex Latin grammar rules to readable principles. Throughout, the book keeps the ancient Roman language at its centre, showing how forms and meanings operate across contexts. The work serves beginners who start with a beginner Latin workbook and teachers aligning material to the high school Latin curriculum, while college Latin students and scholars engaged in academic Latin studies will value its scholarly rigour. Everyday learners seeking access to the literary voice of Rome will find lucid guidance; teachers and translators assembling course material or tackling original texts will find a dependable reference. Its methodical treatment of declension and conjugation and clear handling of irregularities make it useful for careful study and for quick consultation during translation. Experienced readers will recognise consistent terminology and examples that ease the jump from classroom exercises to unadapted Latin. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike. Originating in the nineteenth century and counted among nineteenth century classics of pedagogy, Allen and Greenough's grammar helped shape classical instruction for generations. Casual readers and classic-literature collectors alike will appreciate this edition as both an accessible Latin language guide and a cultural artefact for study and display.
