PREFACE.
ORTHOGRAPHY
Treats on the letters, and teaches their true forms,
names, and powers.
There are twentv-five letters in the Latin language, viz.
A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S,
T, U, V, X, Y, Z.
Of these, six are called Vowels, viz. a, e, i, o, u, y,
which make perfect sounds of themselves.
The united sound of two vowels is called a Diphthong,
that of three a Triphthong.
The remaining nineteen are called Consonants, (i. e.
sounding with) which make no sound of themselves.
Of the consonants four are called Liquids, viz. L, M,
N, R.
A syllable is a complete single sound, as, O! ah!
strength.
ETYMOLOGY.
Etymology teaches the origin, signification, and varia-
tion of words.
• A word is one or more syllables joined together, and
used to signify something.
The words of the Latin language are divided into eight
I
2 THE NOUN.
sorts, called parts of speech, viz, Noun, Pronoun, Verb,
Participle, which are declinable. Adverb, Preposition,
Conjunction, and Interjection, which are indeclinable,
A declinable part of speech is that upon which some
change can be made, particularly in the last syllable;
which proceeding is called declining, or conjugating
words; hence the terms Declension and Conjugation.
NOUN.
A noun is a declinable part of speech, expressing the
name or quality of a person or thing, as homo, a man; bo-
nus, good.
Nouns are divided into substantives and adjectives.
A noun substantive expresses the name of a person or
thing, as, Virgilius, Virgil; homo, a man ; Roma, Rome ;
urbs, a city.
A noun adjective expresses an accident, or equality of
a person or thing, as bonus, good; altus, high.
Substantives are divided into proper and appellatives.
A proper substantive expresses a particular thing of
a kind, as, Virgilius; Roma.
An appellative, or common substantive, is that which
is common to a whole kind of things, as, homo, a man;
urbs, a city. (See App. § 1.)
Nouns are declined by genders, numbers, and cases.
Gender, in a grammatical sense, is the qualification of
a noun substantive for the various terminations of a noun
adjective.
There are three genders; the masculine, the feminine,
and the neuter.
Some nouns are both of the masculine and feminine
gender, and are called common; as, hie conjux, the hus-
band; hsec conjux, the wife; hie dux, hsec dux, etc. (App.
§2.)
There are two numbers, the singular, and the plural.
There are six cases; the nominative, genitive, dative,
accusative, vocative, and ablative.
There are five declensions, which are distinguished
from one another by the ending of the genitive singular.
DECLENSIONS.
GENERAL RULES.
1. The vocative is always like the nominative of the
same number; except the nouns in us of the second de-
clension, which have their vocative singular ending in e,
as, dominus, domine.
The dative and ablative plural are always alike.
2.
3. Nouns of the neuter gender always have the nomi-
native, accusative, and vocative alike, and in the plural
these three cases end in a.
Some nouns of this declension form their dative and ablative plu-
ral sometimes in abus, in order to be distinguished from nouns of the
second declension; thus Jilia, has Jiliabus, anima, animabus, in con-
tradistinction ofjiliis and animis from filius and animus, etc. (App.
§ 4.)

COMPARISON OF ADJECTIVES.
The comparison of adjectives is the expression of their
signification in different degrees, as: bold, bolder, boldest.
There are three degrees of comparison, the positive,
com/iarative, and superlative.
The positive gives the adjective in its simple form, as:
doctus, learned ; tener, tender ; audax, bold.
The comparative increases or diminishes the significa-
tion of the positive, as: doctior, mT)re learned ; minus au-
dax, less bold.
The superlative increases or diminishes the significa-
tion of the positive to the highest or lowest degree, as,
doctissimus, the most learned ; minimus, the least; minime
audax, the least audacious.
IRREGULAR COMPARISONS.
I. Bonus, melior, optimus; good, better, best.
Malus, pejor, pessimus; bad, worse, worst.
Magnus, major, maximus; great, greater, greatest.
Parvus, minor, minimus; little, less, least.
Multus, plus, neut. plurimus; much, more, most.
Dives, ditior, ditissimus; rich, richer, richest.
Senex, senior, or natu major, natu maximus; old, etc.
Juvenis, junior, or natu minor, natu minimus; young, etc.

III. Nequam, nequior, nequissimus; worthless.
Citra, citerior, citimus; on this side; hither.
Intra, interior, intimus; within, inner, inmost.
Ultra, ulterior, ultimus; beyond, farther, farthest.
Prope, proprior, proximus; near, nearer, nearest.
Pridem, prior, primus; lately, former, first.
IV. Compounds in dicus, Jicus, loquus, and volus, change us into en-
tior, and entissimus, as:
Maledicus, maledicentior, maledicentissimus; reviling.
Beneficus, beneficentior, beneficentissimus; kind.
Magniloquus, magniloquentior, magniloquentissimus; boasting.
Benevolus, benevolentior, benevolentissimus; well wishing.
V. Those adjectives only admit of comparison whose signification
may be increased or diminished; others want one or the other
degree, as:
Positive. Comparat. Superlative.
Ingens, great; ingentior,
Adolescens, young; adolescentior,
Inclytus, famous; inclytissimus.
Fidus, faithful; fidissimus.
Novus, new, novissimus.
Sacer, sacred; sacerrimus.
ocior, swifter; ocissimus.
deterior, worse; deterrimus.
Mirus, wonderful;
VII. Many adjectives, particularly those which end in us, pure, that
is, preceded by a vowel, form their comparisons by adding
in us
magis, and maxime to the positive, as: idoneus, fit; magis ido-
neus, fitter; maxime idoneus, fittest; so also the diminutive com-
parisons, as: minus doctus, less learned; minime docius, least
learned. (§ 9.)

NEUTER VERBS.
ANeuter verb is a verb ending in o, like an active,
but not affirming an action, passing from the subject upon
an object, and consequently it does not govern an objec-
tive, or accusative case, as: noceo, I hurt, or do harm.
Hence neuter verbs, used in the passive voice, have no
nominative expressed, and are called impersonal verbs,
as: nocetur, harm is done.
Neuter verbs belong to all the conjugations, and are
conjugated in the same manner as active verbs, as:
INDICATIVE.
Pres. Noceo, I hurt, or do harm.
Imp. Nocebam, I was hurting, or doing harm.

Plup. Nocueram, I had hurt, or done harm.
Fut. Nocebo, I shall hurt, or do harm.
SUBJUNCTIVE.
Pres. Noceam, I may hurt, or do harm, etc.
Obs. 1. Some neuter verbs form the perfect, and the
tenses derived therefrom, like passives, from the partici-
ple perfect, and are consequently called nculro-fiassiva,
as: gaudeo, gavisus sum or fui, gavisus eram, etc.; audeo,
ausussum; soleo, solitus sum; fido, fisus sum; so also
the compounds, as: confido, confisus sum; diffido, etc.

84 IMPERSONAL
OF IMPERSONAL VERBS.
Impersonal verbs are such as are generally used in the
third person singular only. § 13.
Impersonal verbs rarely have a subject, or nominative
expressed, and then only the pronouns hoc, id, quod, quid;
or they have an infinitive, or a whole sentence for their
nominative, as; tonat, it thunders; id licet, this is allowed;
vivere secundum naturam licet, it is allowed to live accord-
ing to nature.
Impersonal verbs have either an active or a. passive ter-
mination.
Most of those which have an active termination, are
rarely used as personal verbs, as; tonat, it thunders; licet,
it is allowed; filuit, it rains; lucescit, it dawns.
Other verbs are thus sometimes used impersonally, as;
Jit, it happens; necesse est, it is necessary; delectat, it
pleases; etc.
Those, which have a passive termination, come
1. From neuter verbs, which, not governing an ac-
cusative in their active termination, cannot have a sub-
ject, or nominative in their passive termination. Thus
from faveo, I favour, or show a favour, we have favetur,
a favour is shown; from fiugno, I fight, fiugnatur, a battle
is fought, or some persons fight.
2. From
active verbs, particularly those, which do not
admit of an accusative of the person, as; nuntiatur, it is an-
nounced, or the news is brought; traditur, it is delivered;
traditur famd, it is handed down by fame.*
* These verbs are also used in the passive voice as personal verbs
with the nominative of the thing, as; minx graves nuntiabantur, Sal.
Liter* traduntur, Cic.

OF INTERJECTIONS.
An Interjection is a word, and sometimes only a
sound uttered between the parts of a sentence, to express
the passion or feeling of the speaker.
The different passions are expressed by different words;
thus we express
Joy by euax 1 io 1 ho 1
Wonder, O i vah I hui 1 hem 1 hm 1 fiafix 1
Grief, ah ! hei / heu I eheu ! hoi ! ohe !
Praise, euge ! eia !

SYNTAX
Syntax, the third part of Grammar, teaches the pro-
per arrangement of the words in a sentence, according to
the relation which they have to one another.
A Sentence is a collection of words forming a com-
plete sense.
A collection of words not making a complete sense is
called a Phrase.
Syntax consists of two parts, Concord and Govern-
ment.
Concord is the agreement of one word with another in
gender, or number, etc.
Government is the influence, under which words must
be put in a particular case or mood, etc.
GENERAL RULES.
I. Every sentence consists of a subject and a predicate.
II. Every adjective, and consequently every adjective
pronoun, and participle agrees with a substantive, express-
ed or understood, in gender, number, and case.
III. Every finite verb has a subject or nominative,
which answers to the question who or what with the verb.
IV. Every finite verb agrees with its subject, expressed
or understood, in number and person.
V. Every genitive is governed by a substantive, ex-
pressed or understood.
VI. Every dative, or giving case, expresses a thing or
person, to or for whom, to whose advantage or disadvan-
tage, satisfaction or dissatisfaction, convenience or incon-
venience something does exist, or is done.
VII. Every accusative is either governed by a verb, or a
preposition, expressed or understood ; or it is the subject
to an infinitive.
VIII. The vocative, or calling case, is absolute, and ex-
presses the person, or thing, that is addressed, as:
124 SYNTAX.
OF CONCORD, OR AGREEMENT.
There are in grammar four Concords:
I. The Concord of an adjective with its substantive.
II. The Concord of a verb with its subject or nomina-
tive.
III.The Concord of a relative with its antecedent.
IV. The Concord of a substantive with a substantive.
' * The names of letters are sometimes used in the feminine gender,
litera being understood, as: a est vocalis (litera).

depending on the same word, agree in case, as ; (§ 30.)
Witha victorious army. Cum victore exercitu.
Marcus Tullius Cicero, the Marcus Tullius Cicero,
orator, was a very great phi- orator, erat maximus
losopher. philosophus.
OF GOVERNMENT.
The government is three-fold :
I. That of nouns.
128 SYNTAX.
RULE VI.
When two substantives, depending on one another and
signifying different things, come together, one of them
governs the other in the genitive, as : (§ 36.)
A boy of the best talents. Puer optimse indolis.
An exile of ten years. Exilium decern anno-
rum.
The hatred against the Odium potentise nobi-
power of the nobles. lium.
Obs. I. When the latter substantive expresses the
quality, form, or age of the former, it is often put in the
ablative, and in this case it generally has an adjective or
pronoun agreeing with it, as ;*
A woman of a noble form Mulier egregia forma
and of full age. atque aetate integra.
A youth of the greatest vir- Adolescens summa vir-
tue and gentleness. tute et humanitate.

SYNTAX. 131
Observations.
Obs. l. A
partitive denotes a part of several persons,
or things.
Obs. 2. A
partitive agrees in gender with the genitive,
which it governs. § 37.
Obs. 3. A
partitive, governing a genitive singular of
a collective noun, agrees in gender with the individuals
implied by that noun, as :
Plato the most learned of Plato doctissimus toti-
allGreece. us Grseciae, i. e. doctissi-
mus omnium Graecorum.
Obs. 4. Instead of the genitive, the partitive may have
an ablative with the preposition de, e, or ex, or the accu-
sative with inter or ante, as :
A
few of ours fall. Paucidenostriscadunt.
The elder of the two sons. Ex duobus filiis major.

or disadvantage, convenience or inconvenience, pleasure or
displeasure, similarity or dissimilarity; also the interjec-
tions hei I and vx J take the dative of acquisition,* as;
(§44,45.)
* This dative often presents itself to the beginner as a great diffi-
culty, which, however, may generally be easily overcome by trans-
lating it by the possessive case, as;
Utrisque ad animum occurrit. Caes.
It occured to the mind of both.

impersonals, have an active signfication, though they are not used
in the passive voice; they stand for poena tenet, pudor, miseria, or mi-
teratio tenet, etc. as it may appear from the passage already quoted:

in and sub govern the ablative, sufier and subter the accu-
sative, or ablative, (see page 106), as :
RULE XIX.
The prepositions, a, ab, abs, absque, etc. govern the

* This abl. is governed by prae, in comparison
of, as; prse cseteris

The noun, or pronoun in the ablative, when
resolved by quam, generally admits of the simple signification of
the comparative, as onus JEtna gravius se sustinere dicunt, i. e.
;
onus gravius, quam JEtna est gravis. Hence "he gives to nobody
more freely than to his brother," must be made by: neminidat liben-
iius, quam fratri, and not: nemini dat libentius fratre.

PROSODY.
Prosody is that part of Grammar, which treats of the
quantity and accent of syllables, and the measure of
verse.
The quantity of a syllable is the time taken in pro-
nouncing it.
Syllables are either long, or short, or common.
A long" syllable requires double the time of a short syl-
lable, and is marked thus ~, as : mater.
A y
short syllable is marked thus , as pater. :
Exceptions.
1. The vowel in Jio is long, when no r follows, as
i :
Exceptions.
A vowel originally short is common before a mute and
liquid, as : ftatris, voliicris.
The mutes are b, c, d, g, k, ft, q, t.
The liquids are /, m, n, r.
III. All diphthongs and contracted syllables are long,
as : Melibdee, delude.
INCREASE OF NOUNS.
A nounis said to increase, when it has in any case
more syllables than in the nominative. The last syllable
is never called the increase.
XI. The increase a and o, of nouns of the third declen-
sion, is long, as; pietas, pietatis; leo, leonis.
Exc. 1. Cdesar, Hannibal, Hamilcar, Pallas, Areas,
anas, lampas, bacchar, lar,jubar, hepar, sal, Arabs, trabs,
fax, mas, vas, (gen. vadis,) and par, with its compounds,
as; compar, increase short.
2. Neuters in a increase by a short, as; thema, thema-
tis.
INCREASE OF VERBS.
A verb is said to increase, when it receives more syl-
lables than it has in the second person singular pres.
ind. active.
XIV. The increase a, e, and o, of verbs is long; i, and u,
are short, as; amamus, legebam, legimus, fiossumus.
Exc. 1. The first increase of a in the verb do, and its
compounds is short, as; dabamus, circumdabamus.
2. E
before re, in the present infinitive of the third
conjugation is short, as; tegere.
3. E in eris and ere, the present ind. passive of the
third conjugation, is short, as; tegeris ov tegere.
4. E before ram, rim, and ro, is short, as; amaveram,
amaverim, amarveris, etc.
5. E in beris and bete, of the future is short, as; amabe-
ris, docebere.
PROSODY. 159
Obs. 2. A
fiaal short vowel is not affected by the double
consonant, or by the two consonants, with which the next
word begins, as:
In solio Phoebus claris lucente smaragdis. Ovid.
Jam medio apparet fluctu nemorosa Zacynthus. Virg.
Talis fama canit tumidum super sequora Xerxem. Luc.
OF VERSE.
A Verse is a certain number of feet arranged accord-
ing to rule.
A Foot is a certain number of syllables in regular
order.
The simple feet, used in poetry, consist of two or three
syllables.
A single syllable, taken by itself, is called a caesura,
and is generally long, as:
Candida|nec ni|graJcornua]fronte ge|ras. Ovid.
The feet of two syllables are:
* Horace uses palua with us short: Regis opus; sterilisve diu paliis,
aptaque remis. De arte, 85.

other verbs; they express a repetition of the signification
of their primitives, and belong to the first conjugation, as:

The desideratives express a desire; they end in urio,
with a short u; they are derived from supines of other
verbs, and belong to the fourth conjugation, as: esurio, I
desire to eat, from esum. Scaturio, ligurio, etc. cannot be
considered desideratives.
