Charles E. Bennett’s New Latin Grammar is a concise and authoritative reference that has served students of Latin for over a century. It presents the sounds, forms, and syntax of classical Latin in a clear, systematic arrangement, distilling the essentials into a compact and reliable handbook.
Bennett, a Cornell professor, aimed at clarity and economy, and his grammar remains prized for its precision and convenient organization. Rather than overwhelming readers with exceptions, it lays out the core structures of the language with admirable order. It continues to be a standard companion for anyone reading classical authors or seeking a dependable Latin reference.
