PREFACE.

THE following work consists of two distinct parts. The first is an abstract of Andrews and Stoddard's Latin Grammar, comprising the most important principles of that work, together with its paradigms. As the abridgment is intended to serve as an introduction to the larger Grammar, the language and arrangement of the latter are in general retained. The second part consists of Exercises in Syntax, Reading Lessons, and a Vocabulary.

The Exercises are designed to illustrate the principal rules of Latin construction, and to render the student familiar with the various grammatical inflections. They are divided into two parts. The first consists of Latin sentences exemplifying the rules under which they are severally arranged; the second, of English examples, in the translation of which into Latin the same principles are to be applied.

The Reading Lessons consist of three parts. The first, embracing a brief compendium of the Life of Joseph, is taken, with only a few slight alterations, from the well-known Epitome Historiæ Sacræ of Prof. Lhomond. The remaining parts, consisting of Fables, and a version, with some variations, of an ancient and popular English tale, are taken from the lessons of Bröder To the Reading Lessons are subjoined notes, serving to explain the more difficult grammatical constructions by reference to the principles contained in the first part.
