Excerpt from A Grammar of the Greek LanguageWith the hope of remedying these faults the following work was undertaken, the extreme difficulty of which the compiler was by no means aware of, but he soon dis covered that', without a familiar acquaintance with the principal writers of the Greek language, and whatever has been published to elucidate them, no one could be qualified to compose a full, clear, and accurate system of its gram mar, wherein the rules and observations should be properly exemplified, and their respective importance attached to them and accordingly, with a labor to be appreciated by those only who are conversant with such studies (to say nothing of extraneous impediments of no ordinary character), he collected and perused every work which seemed likely to afford any thing of service to his undertaking.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
