New Latin Grammar

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.
