Excerpt from A Latin Grammar for the Use of Schools
The English method of pronouncing Latin is unquestion abfy at a wider remove from the ancient and genuine than the German or the French or the Italian method is. But the explanation Of that fact is to be found in this, that the pronunciation Of the English language itself has taken a freer and wider range than that of any continental nation. But to give up a method of pronouncing Latin which is gen orally received by two great nations, and is inwrought also into a large constituent part of their own language, - a method easily learned and easily retained, - and to adopt in its stead a method which is full either of Obvious or of probable errors, and which comes into constant con¿ict with English words Of Latin parts, is, to say the least, of doubtful expediency.
