Syntax of the Greek Language, Especially of the Attic Dialect: For the Use of Schools - Couverture rigide
Présentation de l'éditeur
Those who are acquainted with Mr. Arnold s(larger) Greek Grammar, and the later editions of his Practical Introduction to Greek Prose Composition, will have observed how very highly he rated the authority of Dr. Madvig. On the first appearance of this Syntax of the Greek Language, my lamented friend promptly recognized its great merits, and by the use he has made of it in his own manuals, it may be said to have already materially aided in the instruction of the rising generation of scholars. His increasing sense of its importance prompted the wish to extend its usefulness, and he was persuaded that the work itself, in an English translation, could not fail to be welcomed as a most valuable addition to our school and college books. In this country, certainly, no national prejudices or animosities of the schools are opposed to a favourable reception of Dr. Madvig slabours. He lies under no imputation of regarding with an unfriendly eye the performances of English scholars; he has attacked no favourite theories of ours :that a Dane has remonstrated against what he conceived to be an excessive deference to the decisions of Hermann, can be borne by us without an effort of magnanimity; nor are we jealous lest a light from Copenhagen should obscure the lustre of German scholarship. With us, at least, his work will be appreciated by its own merits.
