...point at issue. This freedom, this off-hand manner, is the book's greatest charm, and one that will attract even the casual reader. As a guide for teachers no work could be more desirable; for it strives to suggest rather than to urge the system it describes.

The remainder of the field will be leveled, graded and put into good shape for athletic grounds...

His writings on classical subjects, however, have done most to make him known. The Allen and Greenough Latin Grammar has had a very wide use in schools. He has also edited editions of Caesar, Cicero, Virgil, Horace and Livy, and was an active contributor to various periodicals and to the proceedings of many learned societies. His other works include an Analysis of the Latin Subjunctive, privately issued in 1870, and frequent articles...
