Anmn/r, adv., lovingly. 

 Aniabili*, adj., lovable. 

 Amabiiiter, adr.. loruMy. 

 Amabtltfax, n., lovalleiiet*. 



foundation ; and at tho >ame time to lead you to some ao- 

 "|ii:iiiitun<v with the manner in which words are formed. Without 

 here entering into a learned discussion a* to which was the 

 original part of speech, I Khali take tho verb as containing the 

 primitive root, and aid you in deducing therefrom other forma. 

 In the course of the previous lessons you had tho verb amo, / 

 Now in becoming aware of the meaning of amo, you learnt 

 the import of all words derived from amo ; thua, taking am or 

 ama as the root, you are led to 



Am or ama, loin. 



Amo, v., I low. 



Auior, n., low. 



A motor, n., a male lover. 



Amatrix, n., a female lover. 

 Then with tho help of prepositions, and in, signifying not, yon 

 have 



Inamabilis. adj., not lovable. Deamo, I love greatly. 



Adamo, I begin to love. JBedamo, I love again. 



A careful inspection of the list will show yon how one word 

 ensues from another. Thus, amuhilitus comes immediately from 

 amabillter, which in its turn comes from amabilia ; and amabilis, 

 an adjective in bilis, is formed from the stem ama. The root 

 Ama, am, or ma, is also traceable in other languages, being tho 

 foundation of nyrrip (mee'-teer), mother, in Greek, whence comes 

 the Latin mater, which also means a mother. We must not, 

 however, diverge from our subject. Before you proceed to study 

 the following lists, you will do well to commit to memory this

Now from these instances you may infer what number of 

 words you have already come into contact with. If in thaM 

 lessons you have had 1,000 Latin words, you hare obtained a 

 clue to the import of some 10,000 Latin word*, and require 

 only a little reflection to aid you to a full perception of them 

 and of their signification. 



I advise you to prosecute your studies now on your own 

 basis, while at the same time you go forward with me. The 

 way in which you may assist yourself is this : procure a Latin 

 dictionary, and write out lists of connected words according to 

 the models just given. With a little care you will be able to find 

 tho words in the dictionary. If you use a good dictionary, you 

 will make few mistakes. Having made a list, commit it to 

 memory. Then make and learn others in succession. In this 

 way you will learn not only the Latin, but a good deal of philo- 

 logy, or the science of language ; and your progress will be 

 rapid as well as sure. 



You may perhaps bo thinking what dictionary to purchase. 

 The best and cheapest that you can buy is " Cassell's Latin- 

 English and English-Latin Dictionary," which contains an in- 

 credible amount of useful information. The price of this useful 

 volume is 3s. 6d.
