Excerpt from Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament: Being Grimm's Wilke's Clavis Novi Testamenti, Translated, Revised and EnlargedBoth Professor Grimm and his publisher courteously gave me permission to make such changes in his work as might in my judgment the better adapt it to the needs of English speaking students. But the emphatic commendation it called out from all quarters, in a strain similar to the specimens just given, determined me to dismiss the thought of issuing a new book prepared on my predecessor's as a basis, and - alike in justice to him and for the satisfaction of students - to reproduce his second edition in its integrity (with only the silent correction of obvious oversights), and to introduce my additions in such a form as should render them distinguishable at once from Professor Grimm's work. (see [j in the list of Explanations and Abbreviations given below.) This decision has occasionally imposed on me some reserve and entailed some embarrassments. But notwithstanding all minor draw backs the procedure will, I am sure, commend itself in the end, not only on the score of justice to the independent claims and responsibility of both authors, but also on account of the increased assurance (or, at least, the broader outlook) thus afforded the student respect ing debatable matters, - whether of philology, of criticism, or of interpretation.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
