PREFACE.

The present text book is a new modeling and rewriting of Swinton's Word Analysis , first published in 1871. It has grown out of a large amount of testimony to the effect that the older book, while valuable as a manual of methods, in the hands of teachers, is deficient in practice work for pupils.

This testimony dictated a double procedure: first, to retain the old methods ; secondly, to add an adequate amount of new matter .

Accordingly, in the present manual, the few Latin roots and derivatives, with the exercises thereon, have been retained under "Part II.: The Latin Element" as simply a method of study .[1] There have then been added, in "Division II.: Abbreviated Latin Derivatives," no fewer than two hundred and twenty Latin root words with their most important English offshoots. In order to concentrate into the limited available space so large an amount of new matter, it was requisite to devise a novel mode of indicating the English derivatives... Continue reading book >>
