Overview

HE object of the Latin Analyst, is the analysis of the Latin sentence, the analysis of the Latin sentence being substantially the analysis of a sentence in Greek, English, or any other language.As will be seen by the Table of Contents, the Latin Analyst consists mainly of select Latin sentences, classified and arranged in about sixty sections. The principles of the work are as follows:1. Every passage is a complete proposition. A proposition is the unit of language. Nothing short of a proposition can enter directly into continuous discourse. Mere phrases, or groups of words, by themselves, give a contorted view of language, and are not used as examples by the later grammarians. It is only in their relation to the proposition that such phrases or groups of words are a proper object of study.2. These sentences are arranged on the progressive principle, i. ., they proceed from the more simple to the more complicated forms. This is the principle which has made the Ollendorffian method so generally popular in the study of modern languages.3. The propositions however, are here arranged on philosophical principles, i. e, in the order of their natural development. It is the order substantially followed by the modern school of philosophic grammarians.4. The whole is thought to form a more complete series of distinct propositions, than has yet been made by our grammarians for the Latin language.5. In the transition from one section to another, or from one set of propositions to another, the distinguishing feature of the new section is brought under consideration and explained as far as may be.6. In this way, it is believed, the strictly syntactical forms of the language are exhausted, and each of them in succession brought under review.
