Excerpt from A Greek Grammar: For the Use of High Schools and Universities But the larger Grammar, in the course of its successive editions and enlargements, had become, to use the language Of the author himself, an intermediate thing between a school-book and a work of a higher scientific character. In support Of the Views and principles embodied in it, the'authcr had often felt it necessary to introduce critical discussions, which were foreign to the nature of such a work; and which contributed to swell its size, without adding to its value for those for whom it was more particularly de signed. Hence, so early as the year 1816, he had entered upon the compilation Of a more extensive and scientific grammatical work, a complete grammatical index or Thesaurus of the Greek language, which should embody the results of the labours of his life in a form adapted to the use of more advanced scholars. This is the us fu'hrliche Sprachlehre, the Copious or Complete Greek Grammar, so often referred to in the following pages. The first volume ap peered in 1819 the second, in two parts, in 1825 and 1827. The second volume! Contains also a supplement Of large additions and cor rections to the first; and a new edition of the first Volume, including these corrections, was commenced during the author's life, and fin ished in 1830 after his decease. This work, extensive as it is, em braces only the part of grammar relating to the Forms of Words; the Syntax Buttmann did not live to complete in the same full and scientific manner. This Thesaurus everywhere exhibits, Of course, critical discus sions and investigations, which could not have place in the preced ing work. Other similar discussions, which 'did not properly fall within the plan even of the Thesaurus, - particularly those relating to the signification of words, - the author collected and published in a separate treatise entitled: Lewilogus, or Illustrations of Greek words, chie y in Homer and Hesiod. The first volume was pub lished in 1818; and again, together with a second, in 1825. This is Often referred to in the following pages.
