"Latin Pronunciation: A Short Exposition of the Roman Method" by Harry Thurston Peck is a scholarly guidebook written in the late 19th century. This publication focuses on the rules and conventions of pronouncing Latin according to the Roman method, which aims to standardize the pronunciation that aligns with historical evidence from the Latin language as utilized during the Roman Empire. Peck's work serves as a resource for students and scholars interested in Latin pronunciation without delving into overly technical jargon. The book is structured to address the intricacies of Latin pronunciation systematically. It begins with an introduction to the Roman method, explaining its acceptance among scholars and academia. Peck explores the Latin alphabet, detailing the sounds associated with each letter and the corresponding diphthongs, referencing ancient writers and inscriptions to substantiate claims. The latter sections summarize various sources that inform contemporary understanding of Latin pronunciation and offer a bibliography for further reading. Throughout, Peck advocates for the Roman method as more pragmatic and harmonious than other systems, emphasizing its relevance for learners of Latin today.
