Excerpt from An Introduction to Greek Prose Composition, Vol. 2: With Copious Explanatory Exercises, in Which All the Important Principles of Greek Syntax Are Fully Elucidated

Tun present work forms the concluding portion. Of the Greek Mssons, the first part of which has already been for some time before the public. The object of the editor, in publishing this volume, has been, to make the student more fully acquainted, than could be done in an ordinary grammar, with all the important principles of the Greek syntax. And, in order to impress these principles more fully upon the mind of the pupil, they are accompanied by exercises explanatory of the same; in other words, the theory is first given, and its practical application follows immediately after. This is the only mode of familiarizing the student with the niceties of Greek construction, and has, we believe, never been carried out to so full an extent in any similar work that has appeared in this country.

In preparing the present volume, free use has been made of all the valuable materials within the editor's reach, and espe cially of those furnished by the Greek Exercises of Ken rick. Numerous rules and examples illustrative of the same have, however, been added from other quarters, and every thing has been done, in fact, to make the book, what it pro fesses to be, a complete guide to Greek Prose Composition.
