Excerpt from The Principles of Greek Grammar: Comprising the Substance of the Most Approved Greek Grammars Extant, for the Use of Schools and Colleges
Several excellent elementary works on Greek Grammar nave been published within the last ten years, by men eminent for talents and learning, and to whose labours I freely own myself under many obligations. But none of these, so far as known to me, have adopted to any great extent the plan just alluded to. T o carry out such a plan to a greater extent than has yet been done, has been chiefly aimed at, and it is hoped in some degree attained in the present work. But While the leading and fundamental parts have been reduced to rules brief and easy to be committed to memory by the younger student, a copious illustration of these principles, and of the exceptions and varieties of usage under them, with every thing important to aid the advanced student, has been inserted in its place in smaller type, in the form Of Observations and Notes, all of which are numbered for the sake of easy reference.
