Excerpt from A Brief Greek Syntax, and Hints on Greek Accidence: With Some Reference to Comparative Philology, and With Illustrations From Various Modern Languages
I trust that these improvements may secure for this Syntax a continuance of the approval with which it has been generally received. I have tried, even more than in the previous editions, to illustrate many of the more remarkable idioms of English Syntax by comparing them with similar idioms in the classical and other languages.
