A Latin Grammar for Schools and Colleges

Numbered rules, Latin quotations, and English translations give readers several ways to approach Latin grammar in George Martin Lane’s A Latin Grammar for Schools and Colleges. Its sections move from sounds and word formation through noun and verb inflection to sentences and complex sentences. An appendix and separate indexes of subjects and Latin words help readers return to a particular construction without working through the book in order.

The treatment of relative pronouns shows its method: agreement in gender and number follows the antecedent, while case depends on the pronoun’s role in its own sentence. Examples and cross references connect such rules to usage in Latin authors. Morris H. Morgan completed Lane’s draft after his death, retaining his principles and adding examples. The revised sound chapters, rewritten by Hanns Oertel, emphasize word analysis. Students and teachers can use the volume as a reference alongside their reading.
