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

such a work, for which a large staff of helpers would have been needed; but I have learned to renounce this ambitious scheme,

and even the present far more modest undertaking would have been impossible unless I had associated with myself a scholar who is acquainted with every detail of my syntactical work, published and unpublished, and who has brought to the task not only a hearty sympathy with my views and methods, but a clearness

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
