Excerpt from Analysis and Formation of Latin Words: With Tables for Analysis, List of Roots, Etc This little book has been prepared to meet a want sug gested in the Latin recitation room, It is designed to assist the student in acquiring a knowledge of the Latin Etymology such as will enable him to account for the forms he meets with, and to analyze Latin words. It was necessary to intro duce a few words from cognate languages in order to explain or illustrate similar forms in Latin. These are not numerous enough to present any formidable obstacle to the student who has not pursued other Ancient Languages than the Latin. Such a student will suffer no disadvantage by the knowledge of a few words from the Sanskrit and the Greek, nor will it render him a less fit candidate for his degree. A table for the analysis of Latin words at the end will afford a practical application of the facts and principles inculcated. This book should be used with the Grammar and the lexicon in the study of Etymology. With reference to some forms Philologists differ in opinion.
