A Grammar of the Greek Language
The Greeks are justly called an artistic people, and the Greek language is the most ancient work of art which they have reared upon a very primitive basis. The student, who approaches the Greek after he has already gone through a considerable preparation by the study of Latin, ought to be impressed with the idea that the structure of this language is one of the most marvelous productions of the intellectual powers acting unconsciously. . . . The attempt, therefore, to connect in a still higher degree the practice of the school with the spirit of science, can here point to numerous precedents; and it is, no doubt, mainly owing to this circumstance that it has met with so favorable a reception. My object has been to produce a consistent system, a careful selection, and a clear and precise exposition, rather than an entirely new system. --from the Preface
Greek Tables for the Use of Students
The principles upon which the Tables of Paradigms have been constructed, are the following: I. To avoid needless repetition; II. To give the forms just as they appear upon the Greek page, that is, without abbreviation and without hyphens; III. To represent the language according to its actual use, and not according to the theories or fancies of the Alexandrine and Byzantine grammarians; IV. To distinguish between regular and irregular usage. --from the Preface Contents I. Tables of Orthography and Orthoepy II. Tables of Etymology III. Principal Rules of Syntax IV. Forms of Analysis and Parsing
