PREFACE
In preparing a new edition of this grammar, I have
made use of the new material gathered by myself during
the intervening years,** and also of that gathered by others,
ec far-as it was accessible to me and fitted into my plan;
aad I have had the benefit of kind suggestions from various
Quarters for all of which I desire to return a grateful
acknowledgment. By such help, I have been able not only
te correct and repair certain errors and omissions of the
First edition. but also to speak with more definiteness upon
very many points relating to the material and usages of
the language.
In order not to impair the applicability of the referen-
ces already made to the work by various authors, its para-
graphing has been retained unchanged throughout; for in-
creased convenience of further reference, the subdivisions
of paragraphs have been more thoroughly marked, by letters
now and then changing a former lettering); and the par-
agraph-numbers have been set at the outer instead of the
inner edge of the upper margin.
My remoteness from the place of publication has for-
bidden me the reading of more than one proof; but the
kindness of Professor Lanman in adding his revision (ac-
companied by other timely suggestions; to mine, and the
care of the printers, will be found, I trust, to have aided
in securing a text disfigured by few errors of the press.
Circumstances beyond my control have delayed for a
year or two the completion of this revision, and have made
it in some parts less complete than I should have desired.
