Présentation de l'éditeur

Pure verb as the typical one to commence vdth, affording, as it does, more easy discrimination of stem and personal endings, in preference to the complicated Labial verb (tutttci)), vhich used to be given as the norm in most of the older grammars, but which did not permit so ready dissection of those constituents as is desirable for teaching purposes in the verb first presented to the pupils view. The particular verb which has thus been chosen viz., iravco), has the unique advantage that, besides being at once remarkably regular and complete in other respects, it affords at the same time, better than any other pure verb that can be named, good extant models for the important group known as the second or Strong tenses. The only other verb that presents similar facihties is v(o, which is the favourite in French Greek grammars, but, apart from the circumstance that any attempts at second or Strong tenses would involve in this instance creation of forms purely fictitious or imaginary, the awkward change of quantity in its Perfects and Aorist Passive from that prevailing in the other tenses, renders it, as a model, doubly inconvenient, and inferior therefore for purposes of tuition. It is mainly the A ccidence, that is, the A ccidentia pertaining to the Greek tongue, that is here dealt with, and hence the absence, which many no doubt will regi-et, of any full treatment of the Syntax, which it has been found inadvisable to attempt on the same scale within the compass of the present volume.
