Synopsis
Benjamin Hall Kennedy was an English scholar and schoolmaster, known for his work in the teaching of the Latin language. Kennedy wrote a number of classical and theological works, but he is most famous today for his primer of Latin grammar, The Revised Latin Primer . The medieval way of writing Latin noun tables, starting with the nominative and then proceeding to the genitive was used in England prior to Kennedy's Primer and is still widely used in America. Kennedy changed the order of writing the noun endings so that the nominative was always followed by the vocative and accusative, in order to bring out the similarities between these cases in many nouns more effectively. Kennedy's Primer was so widely used and was so influential that this led to a permanent change in the way that Latin is taught in the UK. Modern books such as the Cambridge Latin Course still follow this approach.
