Synopsis
Excerpt from Practical Hints on the Quantitative Pronunciation of Latin: For the Use of Classical Teachers and Linguists

Eventual success of this experiment; it can hardly be said as yet to have been adequately tried in schools, or properly seconded in the Universities. At Oxford, when I exam ined viva voce as Classical Moderator in 1872,'i was the only examiner who used the reformed pronunciation, and those who then came before me for examination did not generally seem familiar with it. Even now the old use predominates, and it is to be feared that even those trained by the Syllabus at school, e g., at Shrewsbury, Marlborough, Liverpool College, Christ's Hospital, Dul wich College and the City of London School, are in duced to give it up, or, at least to suppress it, when they proceed to the Universities. On one point there seems to be a very general agreement: wherever it has been introduced, it has been adopted without difficulty by students of all ages, even by the youngest boys, from ten years old upwards. It is obvious that if it is to be really successful, it should be taught alone at present the old pronunciation is allowed to linger on side by side with the new.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book, a practical guide to Latin pronunciation, sets out to teach readers the nuances of the language by focusing on syllabic length and pitch. It assists students in developing a rhythmic pronunciation through exercises and examples, and in doing so highlights the ways in which Latin pronunciation differs from its English counterpart. The author posits that the pronunciation of Latin taught in classrooms today is largely incorrect. They reason that by disregarding its inherent musicalityâ"as exemplified by Ciceroâ"Latin is reduced to mere gibberish. To remedy this, the author not only goes into great detail about the correct sounds and letter combinations but also provides a methodology for practicing them.
