An Introduction to Latin Syntax was an influential Latin grammar by John Mair in Edinburgh in 1750. It saw many subsequent editions, the 8th printed in 1813.


It was cited by John Stuart Mill as evidence for his observation that "The only tolerable Latin grammars for school purposes that I know of, which had been produced in these islands until very lately, were written by Scotchmen" made in his Inaugural Address Delivered to the University of St. Andrews.[1]
