Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from An Essay on the Pronunciation of the Greek Language
1. The Greek language is stamped by time, that great prover of men and things, as the most perfect whichever fell from the lips of man. Its strength and ?exibility, its sonorous cadence, its facility of combination, its variety of termination, making the boldest inversion consistent with clearness, its harmonious proportion between vowels and consonants, pleasing to the ear even in spite of mistakes in pronunciation, - all these.
