This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1903. Excerpt: ... Reprinted from the American Journal O Philology, Vol. XXin, No. 2. I.--PROBLEMS IN GREEK SYNTAX. II. The Art1cle. In its day Middleton's book, 'The Doctrine of the Greek Article', was a wonder for its ample treatment of a minute subject and was playfully cited in somewhat the same tone as the mythical three volumes on-di-do-dum. But nowadays grammatical treatises of similar bulk weigh down the domain of language everywhere like the mortgage pillars, of which Solon tells us, and a whole volume would be needed for a mere digest of the 'literature' on the subject of the Greek article. And yet, as we have seen under the head of the articular proper noun,1 the subject has not been exhausted, and even pressing practical problems have hardly been touched with the tips of the fingers. To be sure, every school grammar teaches the gradual evolution of the article from the demonstrative. Every beginner is warned to expect a different article in Homer from the article as it is found in Attic. Every novice knows the difference between the particular article and the generic. And yet the story is not always taught in the organic way, and the relation of the articular noun to the anarthrous noun is not always brought home to the feeling. With the genesis of the terminations of the noun this essay has nothing to do. To call-s in in-n-o-v pronominal may or may not be a rank heresy. This, however, is true: the article is the explicit expression of what lies implicit in the 1A. J. P. XXIII 9. noun; lirnos is not 'a horse' but' the horse', and the particular article reinforces whatever it is in the termination that fixes the floating action or quality in an individual.1 The particular article is felt to be more and more a necessity, and not, as Julius Caesar Scaliger called i...

(The first lecture, is given under the title, "The Channel...)
The first lecture, is given under the title, "The Channels of Life." After a brief introduction in which the lecturer made further reference to his former connection with the University of Virginia and the renewal of his service in the initiation of the Barbour-Page courses, which mark the beginning of more intimate relations between the University and her sister institutions, he said that his object was not to make a plea for the study of Greek. Living is the test of vitality, and all the pleading in the world will be vain if life is lost. The problem is not whether Greek is worthwhile; but, Greek being given, how to teach Greek, how to learn Greek so as to make it a part or recognize it as part of the moral and intellectual life of the times. In the second lecture, "Greek Language and Literature," illustrates of the theme as laid down in the first were drawn from the Greek language and the Greek literature. The laudation of the Greek language must be reserved for the intimate circle of those who know Greek. The attraction of a language as of a person lies in the physical charm, and the physical charm exists in the eye of the lover. So the present discourse turns on what might be called the social relations of the Greek language—its pervasiveness. The fact that the classical languages belong to the same stock as our own does not enter into our consciousness. Our monosyllabic language reduces so much to the state of radicals that the provenience of a word makes little difference. The study of origins, of etymologies, has very little to do with the practice of speaking and writing. The derivation of an English word from Greek or Latin may serve to guide the pen of the scholarly writer; it does not concern the masses that use the language. The third lecture, "Hellas and Hesperia," deals with what the lecturer once dared to call the American element in Greek life. In order to give vitality to our studies, ancient history has to be interpreted into terms of American experience, and many of the aspects of American life enable us to understand the ancients better than some of our European contemporaries. An audacious, inventive, ready-witted people, we Americans are in sympathy with the audacious, inventive, ready-witted Greeks. It is true that the poet who is regarded by some as the truest representative of American life, Walt Whitman, dismisses antiquity; but we cannot dismiss antiquity. The classical caravel is still seaworthy, and no Captain Courageous of Gloucester, Mass., is more popular than Odysseus of Ithaca. Our history has its analogues in Greek history. Hellenism like Americanism was the result of war. We are the latest offspring of modern times as they the latest of the ancient world; for we are still living the life of Rome. The microscopic Greek state is built on the same lines as ours. The physical surroundings are not unlike ours, and the difference of size is minimized by the facilities of modern intercourse. Greeks and Americans are republicans, nay democrats, to the core. Nothing gives a keener sense of kinship than a community of diseases, and we have the same political diseases. The Greek tyrant is the modern boss. The Americans have the same assimilative power as the Greeks. Pure Hellenic blood is a fancy. There were many strains in ancient Hellas—they are all one to us; and so the Americans, whatever their ancestry, are one to them that are without. The barriers between the different foreign nationalities in America are sure to be broken down, not only by the tide of affairs but by the impetuous winds of the American nationality, for the mobility and versatility of the American man rival the mobility and versatility of the Greek poetry in its intimate relations! — Alumni Bulletin, Volume 2, by University of Virginia

(I kresponse to the demand for aS horter Latin Grammar bas...)
I kresponse to the demand for aS horter Latin Grammar based on the Gildersleeve-L odge work of 1894 the following manual has been prepared. Historical detail and grammatical exposition intended for advanced students mainly have been discarded, and the phraseology has been simplified wherever it seemed possible without a sacrifice of scientific exactness. Still greater abridgment might have been more in accordance with methods that are in vogue just now; but a grammar that shall serve the average student throughout his course in school or college cannot be reduced to a skeleton, and we have not been able to gain our own consent to save space by limiting the illustrative examples to lean and meaningless sentences, holding as we do that the pupil ought to have something more to remember than a mere group of words. Much attention has been paid to the typography, and by retaining the old section-numbers (as has been done except in the list of verbs, 137-165) the parallel use of the larger and the smaller grammars has been facilitated. In conclusion, we desire to express our obligations toD r. W. Gordon McC abe, Headmaster of the University School, Richmond, Va., who has read the book in proof-sheets and has given us the advantage of his scholarly criticisms ;and toM r. Charles W. Bain, Headmaster of theS ewanee Grammar School in the University of theS outh, who has also read all the proof-sheets and given material assistance in adapting the book to the wants of younger students. By these criticisms and others that have reached us we have endeavored to profit, and it is hoped that a wider sphere of usefulness awaits this result of our joint labors. Basil L. Gildersleeve.
