Synopsis:

Excerpt from Greek Tables for the Use of Students<br/><br/>The principles upon which the Tables of Paradigms have been con structed, are the following: I. To avoid needless repetition. There is a certain ellipsis in gram matical, tables, as well as in discourse, which relieves not only the; material instruments of the mind, but the mind itself, and which as sists alike the understanding and the memory. When the student has leamed that, in the neuter gender, the nominative, accusative, and vocative are always the same, why, in each neuter paradigm that he studies, must his eye and mind be taxed with the examination of nine forms instead of three! Why, in his daily exercises in declension, must his tongue triple its labor, and more than triple the weariness of the teacher's ear! With the ellipses in the following tables, the par sdigms of neuter nouns contain only eight forms, instead of the twelve which are usually, and the fifteen which are sometimes, given; and the paradigms of participles and of adjectives similarly declined contain. Only twenty~two forms, instead of the usual thirty-sir or forty-five. See 1! 4.
