PREFACE.IN this short Grammar of the Latin Accidence I have
endeavoured to arrange the paradigms in such a way as togive some hint of the connection between the differentforms, without departing from the traditional number andorder of Declensions and Conjugations. In the arrange-ment by stems I have closely followed Mr. Roby, even inthe somewhat uncertain distinction between consonant andi-stems in the Third Declension of Nouns, feeling that somedivision is necessary, and that his is more satisfactory thanany other.The Notes, which are printed in small type at the bottomof the page, may well be omitted until the large print hasbeen thoroughly learnt. I have confined the Latin Declen-sion of Greek words to an Appendix, for the sake ofclearness, and treated the Reckoning of Time, Money, andthe Numerals, at the end of the book, rather for the sakeof following the usage of Latin Grammars than because theybelong strictly to the subject.
I have omitted the Syntax because, while a knowledge ofgrammatical forms is necessary to the beginner of Latin,the use of these forms can only be taught by progressiveexercises, and many excellent books on this subject alreadyexist.

2 THE LETTERS.2. Vowels. Each of the letters a, e, i, o, u, y (called
upsllon) can be pronounced by itself, and is named from itsown sound without any addition. They are called vowels orself-sounding letters.When two vowels are pronounced rapidly together so as
to produce one vowel-sound, this combination is called adiphthong or double-sound. These are
ae, oe, an,eu; ei, ui, seldom found.
3. Consonants. The other letters, which can only besounded in connexion with vowels, are called consonantsor letters sounded with. In naming these letters, as we seefrom the above table, a vowel is pronounced either before orafter the sound of the consonant.
4. Consonants may be dividedi. According to the parts of the mouth at which they are
formed.u. According to the character of the sound.
I.
Gutturals or sounds formed at or near the |throat (or soft palate), ' / ' *' g> Q '
Linguals or sounds formed with the tongue, r, 1.Dentals or sounds formed at or near the teeth, t, d, n, s, z.Labials or sounds formed at or with the lips, p, b, f, v, m.

4 NOUNS.
INFLEXION.7. Words are inflected, that is, altered in their form, to
mark their relation to other words in a sentence.Stem. That part of a word which remains unchanged in
inflexion is called the stem.Suffix. That part of a word which may be changed is
called the suffix or ending.Nouns, pronouns, and verbs are inflected; other words
are not.
NOUNS.8. Nouns are inflected by adding to or changing the
end of the stem. The inflexion of nouns is called de-clension.The Latins used inflexions to distinguish(1) Two Numbers: the Singular when a word signifies
one thing, the Plural when it signifies more than one,(2) Six Cases : Nominative, Vocative, Accusative, Genitive,
Dative, Ablative.
(3) Three Genders: Masculine, Feminine, Neuter.
Note i. A distinct form for the Vocative case is only found in thesingular of masculine nouns of the second declension, and in somewords adopted from the Greek.A case called the Locative, found in some words, is always the samein form either as the genitive, the dative, or the ablative.
Note 2. Names of things which were thought of as having sex werel^Iasculine or Feminine ; others were Neuter (neither of the two}.

NOUNS. 59. Nouns are either Substantive or Adjective.
Substantives have inflexions of number and case, but arechiefly each of one gender only.
Adjectives have inflexions of number, case, and gender.
10. Certain case-endings are common to all nouns.

DEGREES OF NOUNS ADJECTIVE. 31
DEGREES OF NOUNS ADJECTIVE.27. The Adjective is a noun expressing quality.
In Latin many adjectives have three forms, denoting dif-ferent degrees of quality.The positive is the simple form of the adjective, as durus,
hard.
The comparative denotes :(1) A higher degree, when two persons or things are
compared, as durior, harder.
(2) A too high degree, as durior, too hard.The superlative denotes :
(1) A higher degree, when more than two persons orthings are compared, as durissimus, hardest.
(2) A very high degree, as durissimus, very hard.28. From the positive we may find the comparative by
adding -ior to the last consonant of the stem ; the superla-tive either by adding -issimus to the last consonant ofthe stem; or, by doubling the last consonant and adding-imus *.
* Nearly all the words of this form are given in 29 and note 29.

ter, chiefly from adjectives and participles with -i stems, asfeliciter, happily ; amanter, lovingly.
im, chiefly from past participles, assensim, gradually ; minutim, in small pieces.tiis, chiefly from substantives, as
fundi-tus,//^/?* the bottom; divmi-tus,from the gods.76. The neuter of adjectives is sometimes used ad-
verbially, asmultum, much ; ladle, easily.
77. Degrees of adverbs.The comparative is formed like the neuter of the com-
parative adjective.The superlative is formed like the neuter of the superla-
tive adjective.Note also,

CONJUNCTIONS AND PREPOSITIONS. 97
CONJUNCTIONS.80. Conjunctions are indeclinable words, connecting
names, sentences, or parts of sentences.They are often called co-ordinating conjunctions.Of these, et, -que, atque, ac, meaning and, are called
copulative, because they connect the meaning of words orsentences; sed, verum, autem, at, meaning but, are calledadversative, because they contrast the meaning; aut, vel, ve,meaning or, are called disjunctive, because they disconnectthe meaning.
PREPOSITIONS.8 1. The following words are used as prepositions with
the accusative case :ante
7/27/2019 First Latin grammar (1879).pdf

FEARS AND MONTHS. 113
APPENDIX III.THE ROMAN METHOD OF RECKONING TIME.
The Year.The Romans in referring to a past year frequently dis-
tinguished it by the name of the consuls who held office atthe time, and as being so many years before the beginningof some great war.As we date a year from that commonly assigned to thebirth of Christ, the Romans reckoned from the founding ofRome, which was supposed to have taken place in the year
called by us B.C. 753. Therefore the year B.C. 751 wouldbe known by them as annus urbis conditae tertius orA.U.C. in. It must be remembered that the Romans includedthe year, month, day, etc., from which they counted, so thatwhat we should call 2 years after 753, they counted as 3.In order therefore to find the year B. c. of any Roman dateA.U.C., subtract the number given from 754, adding i for the .inclusive reckoning. The same method will give the yearA.U.C. of any date B.C. ; e. g.
A.U.C. 710 = B.C. (7.54-710) -= B.C. 44.B.C. 44 = A.U.C. (754-44) = A.U.C. 710.
The lustrum was a period either of four or five years.The Months.
The Roman year originally contained ten, afterwardstwelve months, beginning with March.. These were calledmensis Martius (the month ofMars, the god of war), Aprflis(of sprouting, rt. aperi-, to open), Maius (ofgrowing, rt. mag.),Junius (of thriving, rt. juv.), Quintilis, Sexrllis, September,October, November, December (the fifth, sixth, seventh,eighth, ninth, and tenth months of the year), Januarius (ofopening farm labours, rt. Jan.), Februarlus (of cleansing, rt.ferv.). After B.C. 153 the year was considered to begin withJanuary. The name Quintilis was changed to Julius in
7/27/2019 First Latin grammar (1879).pdf
126/136
114 ROMAN METHOD OFB.C. 44 in honour of Caius Julius Caesar, whose birthday fellin that month; Sextilis became Augustus in B.C. 8, to cele-brate the triumphs, etc., of the first emperor.Before the reformation of the calendar by Julius Caesar(B.C. 46) the months March, May, July (then called Quintilis),and October contained 31 days, February 28, and the rest 29.To this year of 355 days an intercalary month (mensisintercalaris, but called by Greek writers Mercedonius, thelabour month) of 22 or 23 days was added every other year,probably after the 23rd of February.The calendar as reformed by Julius Caesar containedmonths of the same length as ours. Every fourth year the2 4th of February was reckoned twice, which was equivalentto our 2 Qth of February in leap-year.The month both before and after B.C. 46 was divided into\veeks, the first beginning on the first day or Calendae(proclamation day), on which the length of the first week wasin early days proclaimed to the people. The second week,of 8, or, according to Roman reckoning, 9 days, began onthe Nonae, which fell on the 5th of eight months in theyear, on the 7th of March, May, July, October, becausethey originally contained 31 days. The third week beganon the Idus (so called perhaps from (div-)ido, the divisionof the month, or from rt. id, to shine, the day of the full-moon) which fell on the 131)1 or i5th according as theNones fell on the 5th or 7th.The intervening days were reckoned backwards from these,the days between the Calends and the Nones as so many
before the Nones, those between the Nones and the Ides asso many before the Ides, those following the Ides as somany before the Calends of the next month.The day immediately preceding each of these three wascalled pridie (Nonas, Idus, Calendas), that next before antediem tertium (Nonas, Idus, Calendas), or a. d. Ill Won.Id. Kal, and so on. This expression was considered as oneword and might have a preposition before it, e. g. differrealiquid in ante diem XV Calendas Wovembres, to put off
Obs. 1 2. The first day of the fourth week was perhaps called nundlnae,nine days, and began 9 days before the end of the month.
7/27/2019 First Latin grammar (1879).pdf
127/136
RECKONING TIME. 115something to the i%th of October. As for the construction,ante seems to govern Calendas Novembres, the ordinalnumbers being attracted from the ablative (e. g. quindecimodie) and inserted between the preposition and its noun.The days of intercalary months were denoted in the sameway, the first day being called calendae intercalates, fromwhich the days between the Ides and the 23rd of Februarywere reckoned backwards.
After Caesar's reform, every fourth year the 24th ofFebruary, or a. d. VI Kal. Mart, priorem, was followed bya. d. VI Kal. Mart, posteriorem. Hence arose the nameannus bissextus (or in later Latin bissextilis).
The Day.The civil day began at midnight and was marked out into
24 hours. The natural day began at sunrise and ended atsunset. It was marked out into twelve hours (horae) ofequal length, counted from sunrise. As in midwinter atRome the day is only 9 hours long, while at midsummerit is rather more than 15, the length of horae dependedupon the time of year, and varied from three-quarters of anhour to an hour and a quarter. The seventh hour (horaseptima) always began at midday.The night was divided for military purposes into fourwatches (vigilia prima, etc.) of equal length, beginning atsunset.
The following table gives the days of the months as theywere named after B.C. 45. Before that date, March, May,July, October were the same as in the table ; in all the othersour 1 4th would be a. d. XVII Kal., and so on, and Prid.Kal. would fall on our 2pth.
Kalendae, Nonae, Idus, are feminine ; the names of themonths adjectives agreeing with these ; the date (e. g. on theCalends, etc.) is in the ablative case (Kalendis, Nonis, Idibus) :a. d. IV Won. Jan. is for ante diem quartum NonasJanuarias.

2. INTEREST ON MONEY.After 451 B. c. the legal rate of interest wasUnciarium fenus, interest of one-twelfth (see p. 1 1 2 (3))= 8-^
per cent. As the year contained 10 months, this was pro-bably equivalent to 10 per cent, per annum.
After 8 1 B.C. the legal rate of interest wasCentensima pars sortis, one-hundredthpart ofthe whole= 1 2
per cent. Interest being at this time reckoned monthly, thiswas equivalent to 12 per cent, per annum.This rate was taken as the unit, and lower rates represented
by fractions, e.g.:Usurae unciae= T^ of centensimae usurae=i per cent,
per annum.Higher rates by distributives, e. g. :Binae centensimae^=huice one-hundredth=. 24 per cent, per
annum.Or by combinations of distributives and fractions, e. g. :Usurae centensimae et unciae=i3 per cent, per annum.O6s. 13. For the other fractions of centensima see p. no. They are
in the plural number, having usurae in apposition.
