page 313 note 1 The latest School Greek Grammar published in Germany, that by Weissenfels, has as its central idea a close parallelism of order, terminology, and wording of rules with the Latin Grammar of H. J. Müller.
page 314 note 1 ‘Sentence construction’ teaches how meanings are expressed in sentences and parts of sentences: ‘the doctrine of meanings’ relates to the meanings of forms, i.e. the various uses of the inflected forms of words.
page 314 note 2 In employing this tern I do not mean to imply that I accept the idea of ‘possibility’ as one of the fundamental meanings of the Latin Subjunctive or the Greek Optative with ἄν: on the contrary I regard the ‘may’ used in translating these moods as representing something different from ‘may possibly.’ So far I agree with Elmer. I hope to return to the subject hereafter.
page 315 note 1 I speak with a sense of liberation on this line, because I once wanted to write verrit for ferret—an emendation in which I am happy to say my friend Mr. H. Richards anticipated me in the Classical Review.
