Ahn's Complete Latin Syntax
Excerpt from Ahn's Complete Latin Syntax
The present Complete Latin Syntax which forms a part of ahn-henn's Latin Course, is designed to meet the wants of advanced students. While the systematic study of Syntax has been provided for in the author's Latin Grammar and Third Latin Book With special regard to those who are preparing for college, in the present volume the aim has been to furnish a fuller exposition of those matters which are merely hinted at in the elementary books; or, in other words, to provide a full course of Latin Syntax which may be used at once as a text-book for the class-room, and a book of reference in study. The points which have received particular attention and in the statement of which great pains have been taken are the to set forth the facts and laws of Classical Latin (as established by the best authorities, caesar and cicero) just as they are in themselves; to describe clearly and accurately the real difficulties of Latin construction, to put the rules into a form which will be as concise as possible and still remain clear and simple, and to illustrate them by carefully selected examples which are given without the usual mutilations, and, withal, to guide the student as readily as possible to the Latin Authors themselves by teaching grammar, not as if it were worthy to be studied on its own account, but only as the means to an end. A superior Index and judicious typographical arrangement enable the student to find readily What he needs. The Manual of Latin Prose Composition which has been prepared to accompany this volume, is designed to give a complete review of Latin Syntax, illustrated by examples selected from the classical writers, the written exercises being introduced by model sentences for oral practice, and accompanied with full references to the Complete Latin Syntax, and a Vocabulary.
