Title
The Greek grammar; Or, A short, plain, critical, and comprehensive method of teaching and learning the Greek tongue:Wherein, for the greater ease of masters, and the more expeditious improvement of scholars, the common difficulties in the declensions, conjugations, contractions, accents, dialects, &c. are render'd clear and easy, and the usual obsecurities in syntaxis and Greek poetry entirely removed. The rules necessary to be committed to memory are distinguished by a larger character, and in Latin; the rest in a small letter, and in English. The whole methodiz'd on the principles of reason, and containing the substance of what has been taught by the best masters, both abroad and at home, viz. We..., Antesignanus, Clenard, Labra, Verwby, Golius, Korbir, Messieurs de Port Royal, Vossius, Dr. Busey, Bp. Wettenhall, Dr. Sam. Clark, Mr. Camden, Mr. Leeds, Mr. Lewis, Mr. Lowe, &c, to which is added a suitable vocabulary. By John Holmes, master of the publick grammar school, in Holt, Norfolk.
