Excerpt from On Principles and Methods in Latin SyntaxTwo things only need to be said by way of preface to this book. In the first place, it makes no claim to the character of a systematic statement of the principles of syntax. It is a discussion of certain principles and of the methods of investigation to which these principles lead. In the second place, it deals primarily with Latin. If some of the chapters are equally applicable to the syntax of other languages, that is only because it is impossible to write of the fundamental questions of syntactical method without going beyond the phe nomena of a single language. The illustrations are all from Latin, and nearly all from Plautus, many of them being taken, as are portions of some chapters, from articles of mine in the American Journal of Philology, to which reference is made at the proper place.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
