Carey’s detailed views in 1836 advocating the universal study of Latin and Greek. Herein, he proposes a new system to prune and modify the old. Among Carey’s goals. “1. to acquire a knowledge of the Latin and Greek languages so as to be able not only to read and understand them correctly, but to write and speak them. 2. To relish their beauties. 3. To be incited by emulation to imitate the noble examples scattered through the histories of Greece and Rome: and, 4. to instill into the minds of youth the sublime principles of morality to be found in their poets.”
