Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Principles of Latin Grammar: Comprising the Substance of the Most Approved Grammars Extant, With an Appendix, for the Use of Schools and Colleges The fundamental principles are nearly the same in all languages. So. Far as Grammar is concerned, the difference lies chie y in the minor de tails-ia the forms and in ections of their words, and in the modes of ex pression peculiar to each, usually denominated idioms. It would seem, therefore, to be proper, in constructing G rammars for different languages, that the principles, so far as they are the same, should be arranged in the sama order, and expressed as nearly as possible in the same words. Where this is carefully done. The study of the Grammar of one language becomes an important aid in the study of another - eu opportunity is afforded of seeing wherein they agree, and wherein they differ, and a profitable exer cise is furnished in comparative or general grammar. But when a Latin Grammar is put into the hands of the student, di 'ering widely in its arrangement or phraseology from the English Grammar which he had previously studied, and afterwards a Greek Grammar difierent from both, not only is the benefit derived from the analogy of the Moment languages in a great measure lost, but the whole subject is made to appear intolerably intricate and mysterious. By the publication of this series of Grammars, English, Latin, and Greek, on the same plan, this evil is now remedied probably as far as it can be done.
