Book Description
Excerpt from The Latin Subjunctive I have written this manual because I felt the need of a book that contained, in clear and concise language, the outlines of the Latin Subjunctive for preparatory schools. If a boy, under a competent teacher, learns thor oughly the principles herein laid down, he will have enough insight into the subject to read intelligently any Latin author he will meet with before his Sophomore year in college. I think, too, under proper teaching, he will be able to write a grammatically correct Latin sentence. I wish here to say a word about writing Latin. Far too little attention is given to it in our preparatory schools; and, worse than that, the student is generally tied down to some composition book, where meaningless sentences are heaped together, tiresome alike to both teacher and pupil. Let the student learn the Latin tongue as the Romans themselves used it, and from the pages which he is reading. A book of Caesar, studied with care, and memorized if time allows, will advance the beginner more than any manual for writing Latin. A word, too, about reading Latin at sight. If a teacher will only practise it with his classes, he will be surprised at their rapid improvement. It gives the student confidence in himself, and obviates the evils arising from the use of a translation. The examples given below are taken mostly from those authors generally read by students preparing for college. I have translated only such as I thought ought to be committed to memory by the learner. The others are simply for reference; an index to them will be found at the end of the book. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from Analysis of the Latin Subjunctive Aside from the considerations which seem to support this view drawn from the constructions of the Subjunctive, there are some general facts that tend to show the close connection between the Future and the Modal System of the indo-european languages. The Futures of the third and fourth conjugations in Latin, are obviously forms of the original Optative, which have crowded out the regular Future, which is formed, as it appears in Greek, with a sibilant. Again, the forms of the Future Perfect Indicative and the Perfect Subjunctive in Latin, except in the first person, are absolutely identical; and, although this does not show that these forms have the same origin, or, at any rate, that they have been devel oped through the same process, which last is obviously udt the case, yet it does show that they are kindred in mean ing, and contain, ultimately, the same formative element. The accidental difference in the first person between rim and ro is of little account, inasmuch as the final 0 of verbs both in Latin and Greek represents an original m.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Unity of the Latin Subjunctive: A Quest; Being a Paper Read in Abstract Before the Classical Association Comparative philologists have pointed out that the Latin subjunctive is historically a mixture of two moods, the subjunctive and the optative of the parent language; and, assuming that forms and meanings must of necessity go together, have argued that any unity of meaning in the Latin subjunctive is excluded by this simple historical fact. But this assumption is insecurely based: it is common enough in languages to find two entirely different forms conveying the same meaning; as, on the other hand, identical forms may convey different meanings. Thus, for instance, the two Aorists of Greek were synonymous from the earliest Indo-european times; nor have we any evidence to show that they ever differed in meaning. There seems, then, to be no reason a priori why the subjunctive and the optative inflexions should not have been originally synonymous and only gradually differentiated in Greek through a long process of development. Moreover, the argument that difference of form implies, difference of function really proves too much; it would break up the unity of the Greek, as well as of the Latin, subjunctive: for the short-vowel subjunctives differ in form from the long-vowel subjunctives of Greek.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Anticipatory Subjunctive in Greek and Latin, Vol. 1 In a paper in the Classical Review for February, 1893, Pro fessor Sonnenschein discussed some of the Latin constructions mentioned above, treating them as prospective. He expressed himself as having held and taught this doctrine for a number of years. It gratified me to find his agreement with a doctrine which I also had taught, with the same proofs which I give here, for many years (at least, as notes in the possession of pupils show, since and which I had for some time been on the point of publishing; indeed, the present study, so far as concerns the constructions with which his paper dealt, has not been materially changed from the shape in which it already stood in writing at the time when the latter appeared. Professor Sonnenschein has anticipated me in publishing the doctrine. He has, however, divined, rather than established, the nature of these constructions; for, as I have said in the article cited, he has not supported his propositions with definite proof, such as the Greek might have afforded, if a study had been made of the significance of the presence or absence of the particle d'v (or He has left it for me, therefore, even in that part-of the field which he has touched.

Book Description
Excerpt from A Latin Grammar The present book is a revision of my Latin Grammar originally published 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 Active, the endings z's, imam, -z'zz's are now marked long. The theory of vowel length before the suffixes -gnus, -gna, -gnum, and also before j, has been discarded. In the Syntax I have recognized a special category of Ablative of Association, and have abandoned the original doctrine as to the force of tenses in the Prohibitive.
