About this title

Synopsis

Exercises on Latin Syntax: Adapted to Zumpt's Grammar by John Kenrick is a comprehensive Latin grammar manual that builds upon 19th-century methods for teaching Latin syntax. This volume features a series of exercises organized by syntactic topic, using examples from Latin authors to illustrate rules and usages. Prefaces and notes clarify Kenrick’s goal of providing a structured course of Latin composition in alignment with Zumpt’s grammar, while also incorporating selected passages from Muretus to introduce students to more complex and figurative sentences. The book addresses key topics such as Subject and Predicate, Adjectives, the Relative, Pronouns, the Use of Cases, and Tenses, with a significant focus on the Subjunctive Mood, including constructions like quam, ut, quod, and ne. Additionally, it covers the moods and forms (Imperative, Infinitive, Participle, Gerund, Supine), the passive and active voices, and offers explicit guidance through exercises, keyed solutions, and an extract section. This edition faithfully reproduces the content of the original 1825 publication for contemporary readers.
