Présentation de l'éditeur

Tms Grammar is partly a revised edition of theE lementary Greek Grammar published in 1870, and partly an independent work. The part which precedes the Inflection of the Verb contains the substance of the former edition revised and enlarged, with many additions to the Paradigms. The part relating to the Inflection of the Verb, 88 127, has been entirely re-written, and increased from fifty to one hundred pages. Part III., on the Formation of Words, is entirely new. The Syntax is in most parts substantially the same as in the j|: fformer edition; but some changes and numerous addiw tions have been made, the chief increase being in the sections on the Prepositions. Part V., on Versification, is ahnost entirely new, and is based to a great extent on the Rhythmic and Metric of J. H. H. Schmidt, which ;has just been published in anE nglish translation by Professor J. W. White. I have not followed Schmidt, #) however, in making aU iambic and anapaestic verses trochaic and dactylic; and I have followed the ancient authorities in recognizing cyclic anapaests as well as cyclic dactyls.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
