Ix compliance with the wishes of many of my former pupils, have determined to publish my Greek Syntax in parts. The framework was planned many years ago, and corresponds in its I

scheme of my Latin Grammar, the first edition which was published in 1867. In fact, the Latin Syntax was based on the MS of the Greek. Doubtless the syntactician of structure to the of

Like myself, Professor MILLER is thoroughly imbued with the conviction that the study of syntax is of the utmost importance for the appreciation of literary form, and we both believe that the presentation of the phenomena under the rubrics of the different

The plan has saved us from giving the usual medley of examples, it has forced us to rely largely on our own collections and to examine the texts for ourselves, and it will enable those
