The Principal Roots of the Latin Language


Book Description

Excerpt from The Principal Roots of the Latin Language: Simplified by a Display of Their Incorporation Into the English Tongue; With Copious Notes A pupil, who has previously made himself master of the principal roots of the Latin language, has but little, if any, difficulty afterwards in tracing the derivation of words. There are, however, certain derivatives whose signification could not be clearly ascertained from a mere knowledge of the root a selection, therefore, of the most important of these has been made, and it will be found that, through the strong association afforded by their connexion with the roots, they can easily be acquired, and indelibly fixed in the mind.
