Summary
Editor's review
Who it's for
A good fit for
- Students systematically learning Latin who need a grammar reference
- Teachers of Latin who want supplementary English grammar materials
- Readers with some English reading ability planning to self-study Latin
- Classics enthusiasts needing to check Latin inflections and syntax rules
Not a good fit for
- Complete beginners who want to start with Chinese-language textbooks
- Readers expecting an accompanying workbook and a progressive course
- General readers who want only Latin cultural background rather than grammar study
Reading tips
- First read through the table of contents to clarify the chapter structure of morphology and syntax, then read selectively according to study progress.
- For each grammar point learned, read a Latin original passage alongside for consultative comparison.
- Use the book as a reference work, consulting it directly when encountering inflection or syntax questions.
- Self-learners can set a plan of one section per week and do translation exercises in parallel to consolidate.

About the author
Charles E. Bennett (1858–1921) was an American classicist who taught for many years at Cornell University, concentrating on Latin teaching and grammar. One work by him is held in this catalogue, New Latin Grammar, a representative Latin textbook of his that served generations of Latin learners and had a certain influence on classical language teaching in the English-speaking world. Public information about his life is limited; apart from his teaching career and this grammar, few details can be reliably established. His work shows a clear pedagogical purpose: orderly, carefully organized, and systematic in presenting grammatical rules, it was suited both to classroom use and to self-study. For readers today he is remembered chiefly for this Latin grammar, and his scholarly contribution lies mainly in elementary Latin instruction.
