noted. I have added an Introduction on the origin and development of theL atin language, which it is hoped will prove interesting and instructive to the more ambitious pupil. At the end of the bopk will be found an Index to theS ources of the Illustrative Examples cited in theS yntax. C. E. B. I thaca, New York, May 4, 1918. PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION. The present book is a revision of my Latin Grammar originally pubH shed in 1895. Wherever greater accuracy or precision of statement seemed possible, I have endeavored to secure this. The rules for syllable division have been changed and made to conform to the prevailing practice of the Romans themselves. In the Perfect Subjunctive A ctive, the endings -I s, -I miis, -I tis are now marked long. The theory of vowel length before the suffixes -gnus, -gna, -gnum, and also before j, has been discarded. In theS yntax I have recognized a special category of Ablative of A ssociation, and have abandoned the original doctrine as to the force of tenses in the Prohibitive. A part from the foregoing, only minor and unessential modifications have been introduced. In its main lines the work remains unchanged.
