NOTIC E.

THE old Eton Greek Grammar translated into our own language having been long and largely used in various Schools, no apology will be deemed necessary for a Greek-English edition of that now in use, including all the recent corrections and improvements, together with Bishop Wordsworth's Syntax, here first presented to the public in an English form.

In this Edition, the Accidence may be had separately.

Dr. Jelf's Appendix on the Accents, Dialects, and Anomalous Verbs, expressly compiled by the Author from his larger Work for the Eton Greek Grammar, may be had either separately, or bound up with this volume.
