DIVISION II.--ABBREVIATED LATIN DERIVATIVES.
NOTE--In Division II, the English derivatives from Latin roots are
given in abbreviated form, and are arranged in paragraphs under the
particular _radicals_, from which the several groups of derivatives are
formed. The radicals are printed at the left in bold-face type--thus.,
ACR-, ACERB-, etc. Derivatives not obviously connected with the Latin
roots are given in the last paragraph of each section. Pupils are
required to unite the prefixes and suffixes with the radicals, thus
forming the English derivatives, which may be given either orally or in
writing.
