AN ELEMENTARY GREEK GRAMMAR. BY WILLIAM W. GOODWIN, PH.D., LL.D., ELIOT PROFESSOR OF GREEK LITERATURE IN HARVARD COLLEGE. REVISED AND ENLARGED EDITION. BOSTON: PUBLISHED BY GINN, HEATH, & CO. PREFACE. THIS Grammar is partly a revised edition of the Elementary 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 former edition; but some changes and numerous additions have been made, the chief increase being in the sections on the Prepositions. Part V., on Versification, is almost 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 an English translation by Professor J. W. White. I have not followed Schmidt, however, in making all iambic and anapaestic verses trochaic and dactylic; and I have followed the ancient authorities in recognizing cyclic anapaests as well as cyclic dactyls. I have adopted the modern doctrine of logaoedic verses, which enlarges their dominion and reduces them to a uniform measure, thus avoiding DUP. EXCH. 23 JAN 1903 DREW THEOL SEM LIB |
