Book Description

November 3, 2006
First published in 1908, New Latin Grammar by Charles E. Bennett remains an outstanding resource for students at virtually any level.

Bennett's book is a model of clear precision in its presentation of the basics of Latin grammar. Bennett uses specific examples from primary sources to help students learn the inflections and syntax of Latin, while offering a fundamental understanding of the sounds, accents, particles, and word formations of the Latin language. As an added bonus, the book provides students with a fascinating and informative history of the Indo-European family of languages and the stages of development of the Latin language.

Especially helpful to both students and instructors are the sections on prosody, the Roman calendar, Roman names, and definitions and examples of figures of syntax and rhetoric.

Editorial Reviews

Review

Great pleasure attends the reissue of Bennett's New Latin Grammar by Bolchazy-Carducci. Unavailable since Allyn and Bacon's reprint went out of print many years ago, teachers and students alike can rejoice in its reappearance. Bennett's definitions and explanations of basic grammatical and syntactical points are a paragon of clearness and succinctness. I strongly recommend it for all high-school teachers and for undergraduates at all levels; for graduate students and scholars it is ideal for a quick look since the organization is clear and 'user-friendly.' -- Robert I. Curtis, University of Georgia, The Classical Outlook

This is truly Latin grammar at its finest: logical and succinct...indispensable for undergraduate majors and minors and even clear enough to use at the secondary level. It is simply the best. -- Bette J. Ruellan

What a joy it is to have Bennett's New Latin Grammar available again to a wide audience of students and instructors! ...I strongly recommend Bennett's Grammar as an essential tool in the learning of every level of instruction. --Richard L. Trapp, San Francisco State University

5.0 out of 5 stars A compact reference for intermediate students., January 27, 1999
By 
This review is from: New Latin Grammar (Paperback)
Charles Bennett's New Latin Grammar enjoys a new incarnation in paperback. The text follows a traditional format for Latin reference grammars: phonology, morphology, syntax and prosody. Coverage is descriptive, not historical, clearly designed to answer basic questions about forms and syntax for the student who needs more than an introductory learner's text but less than a 500 page tome, detailing every possible exception.

My own experience in using the book with intermediate students in school ( AP Vergil ) would suggest that there is some resistance to moving from beginners' texts, which are self-contained, to the use of a reference grammar because of the time needed to locate items in indices or tables of contents. Bennett's New Latin Grammar meets this problem of the time-pressed learner by its concision, only 250 pages of text, with a good general index to topics. Concision with accuracy is the key strength of this grammar, as Bennett himself stated in the Preface to First Edition: "The object of this book is to present the essential facts of Latin grammar in a direct and simple manner, and within the smallest compass consistent with scholarly standards." This goal has been met and should be helpful in developing the habit of reference grammar use among students who have completed formal grammar lessons but who, on their own, still need to dig out unusual forms or to address less common syntactical structures. Bennett's Grammar will help less experienced Latin students climb the ladder to becoming their own best teachers in matters of syntax.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best short latin grammar available!, December 17, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: New Latin Grammar (Paperback)
This grammar has been around since the early 1900's( all the best latin grammars are of this time period or earlier) and it is as good today as when it was first issued. It is the best short latin grammar available. It will not show you all the nuances of the language, like Gildersleeve's or Greenough's , but it will give you the absolute basics that you need to know to learn this complex language. The explanations are concise and to the point; and the part on syntax is also nicely done. My only complaint is that this book only comes in a paperback edition. I wish the book was available in hardcover or clothbound. Reference works of this quality should always be available in such an edition.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very Useful, March 13, 2004
This review is from: New Latin Grammar (Paperback)
I'm very happy with this book. It's a small, easy-to-use reference. It also has useful information about the history of the language, the Roman calendar, etc., though not in incredible detail. Because of its size and ease of use, it's the first Latin book I grab when I want to learn or remember Latin syntax. I end up skimming through, invariably, because the book makes it easy and interesting to do so. It's compact, useful, well-formatted, and comfortable to use. Know that it isn't a dictionary; for that, you'd need to go elsewhere. (I'm not a Classics scholar - just a former Latin student who's still interested, occasionally active, and someone who always wants to learn and practice more... if I had the time.)
