By ALBERT HARKNESS, Ph.D., LL.D., Professor Emeritus in
Brown University.
These new text-books are the crowning triumph of a life-work which has
made the name of their author familiar to classical scholars and
teachers everywhere. They represent the latest advances in philological
science, and embody the results of the author's large experience in
teaching and of his own linguistic studies, together with the
suggestions and advice of eminent German specialists in the field of
Historical and Comparative Grammar. The peculiar qualities of
simplicity, clearness, and adaptation of treatment to the practical
needs of the student and of the class room,--qualities that have always
characterized the Harkness Grammars,--have been preserved and even
intensified in these new books.
The Complete Latin Grammar is designed at once as a text-book for the
class room and a book of reference for the student. It aims not only to
present systematically for the benefit of the beginner the leading facts
and laws of the Latin language, but also to provide accurately for the
needs of the advanced student.
The Short Latin Grammar is published for the benefit of those who prefer
to begin with a more elementary manual, or those who do not contemplate
a collegiate course. In the preparation of this work the convenience and
interest of the student have been carefully consulted. The paradigms,
rules, and discussions have in general been introduced in the exact form
and language of the Complete Latin Grammar by which it may at any time
be supplemented. The numbering of the sections in the two books is also
alike.
