Excerpt from Elements of the Greek Language: Taken From the Greek Grammar It has been presumed that, in general, the student would pass from the smaller to the larger Grammar, before entering on the study of Ionic or poetic writers. As this, however, may not always be convenient, it has seemed best to add, in an Appendix, a synopsis of the most important forms of dialect, and a brief account of the principal kinds of verse.

Hadley was born on March 10, 1821 in Fairfield, New York, where his father was professor of chemistry in Fairfield Medical College. At the age of nine, a knee injury left him lame for life.
Hadley graduated from Yale in 1842, having entered the Junior class in 1840; and studied in the Theological Department of Yale.
In 1844-1845 Hadley was a tutor in Middlebury College. He was tutor at Yale in 1845-1848, assistant professor of Greek in 1848-1851, and professor of Greek, succeeding President Woolsey, from 1851 until his death in Hew Haven on the 14th of November 1872. As an undergraduate he showed himself an able mathematician, but the influence of Edward Elbridge Salisbury, under whom Hadley and W. D. Whitney studied Sanskrit together, turned his attention toward the study of language. He knew Greek, Latin, Sanskrit, Hebrew, Arabic, Armenian, several Celtic languages and the languages of modern Europe; but he published little, and his scholarship found scant outlet in the college class-room. His most original written work was an essay on Greek accent, published in a German version in Curtius's Studien zur griechischen und lateinischen Grammatik. Hadley's Greek Grammar (1860; revised by Frederic de Forest Allen, 1884) was based on Curtius's Schulgrammatik (1852, 1855, 1857, 1859), and long held its place in American schools. Hadley contributed to Webster's dictionary an essay on the History of the English Language. In 1873 were published his Introduction to Roman Law and his Essays, Philological and Critical.
