This little work was commenced for the benefit of one of the authors children, who was entering on the study of the Latin language. It is now given to the pu Hic in the hope, that what has succeeded in a single instance, may prove generally useful; a hope which has been strengthened by the favorable reception experienced by a similar introduction to the Greek language, which was prepared on a like occasion, about three years since. The principle on which both these works proceed is this, that the grammar of a language can never be fully impressed upon the memory, except in the act oiparsing ;and that it is as useless, therefore, as it is tedious, for a child to spend three or four months upon the grammar, as a preparation for that which ought to be commenced at once. Most instructors have felt this, but have been Unable to pursue any other course, from the character of the books which are generally used in parsing. The first page of the Epitome Historiae Sacrse, for example, supposes in the learner an acquaintance with every part of the Latin grammar. All have witnessed the perplexity and discouragement which are felt by most young persons, from the extent of the field which is opened thus suddenly before them.

clergyman educator lexicographer
Goodrich Chauncey Allen was the son of Elizur Goodrich and Anne Willard Allen. He was born on October 23, 1790, in New Haven, Connecticut.
After graduating from Yale College in 1810 and from 1812 to 1814, Goodrich studied theology under President Timothy Dwight.
On September 27, 1814, Goodrich was licensed to preach by the New Haven Association of Ministers, and after supplying several churches he accepted a call to the Congregational church, Middletown, Connecticut, where on July 24, 1816, he was ordained and installed.
In 1817, however, his health having proved unequal to the demands of the ministry, he resigned to assume the duties of the newly founded professorship of rhetoric at Yale.
Religion still continued to be his major interest, and he was foremost among those who made possible the establishment of a theological department at Yale in 1822.
Purchasing the Christian Spectator in 1828, he edited it as the Quarterly Christian Spectator until 1836, making it the exponent of the “New Haven theology” as promulgated by Dr. Nathaniel Taylor, professor of didactic theology in the theological department.
In spite of his many duties and although not always in the best of health, he was able to do considerable writing and editing.
He published in 1852 Select British Eloquence, an octavo of nearly a thousand pages, containing speeches, biographical sketches and notes.
For years, he spent much time on Webster’s Dictionary, editing an abridgment in 1829 which had been prepared under his supervision by Dr. Joseph E. Worcester. Assisted by several colleagues, he made a thorough revision of the original Dictionary in 1847.
His death, occasioned by cerebral hemorrhage, occurred at New Haven in his seventieth year.
Among Goodrich's contributions to the work as a whole were the synonyms, a treatise on the principles of pronunciation, and a memoir of the author. Goodrich Street, a principal thoroughfare linking Prospect Street and Dixwell Avenue along the division between northern New Haven and southern Hamden in Connecticut, is named for him.

In 1838, Goodrich proposed the establishment of a professorship for the training of students in preaching and pastoral work, and gave $5, 000 for that purpose. The first appointee having declined, he himself was transferred to the office and served therein until his death.
By assisting Professor Eleazer Fitch in the pastoral work of the college, through weekly meetings for the students which he conducted, and as a consultant on spiritual matters, he exerted a notable influence on the religious character of the institution.
He was also a strong supporter of the temperance movement, and was prominent in organized missionary activity.
On October 1, 1816, Goodrich married Julia Frances, daughter of Noah Webster.
