Synopsis

Excerpt from Deigma

In the third place, recent philological work has thrown so much clear light on many perplexing points in Greek that it seemed unfair, even to the beginner, not to allow him in the notes more frequent glimpses at the original meaning of the forms and their uses than was possible in the case of Latin. These notes are in smaller type and may be omitted on a first reading, save as the teacher may direct.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This First Greek Book is an attempt to meet a request which has reached us from many sources. I ts chief objects are parallel to those which we set before us in constructing Limen, viz.: 1. To bring the pupil as soon as possible to the stage of reading Greek authors; and therefore 2. To present the most important uses in Syntax side by side with the most important parts of A ccidence. 3. To use the chief results of recent inquiry in Historical Grammar, so as to simplify and enliven the harder forms of Accidence and rules of Syntax by indicating briefly how they grew up. Even less apology is needed, we think, in Greek than in Latin for the attempt to make possible rather more rapid progress than custom has hitherto allowed. Thanks to the influence of the younger Universities and the great development of secondary schools a much larger number of students are beginning the study of Greek outside the walls of the older public schools than ever before.
