Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Anticipatory Subjunctive in Greek and Latin, Vol. 1
In a paper in the Classical Review for February, 1893, Pro fessor Sonnenschein discussed some of the Latin constructions mentioned above, treating them as prospective. He expressed himself as having held and taught this doctrine for a number of years. It gratified me to find his agreement with a doctrine which I also had taught, with the same proofs which I give here, for many years (at least, as notes in the possession of pupils show, since and which I had for some time been on the point of publishing; indeed, the present study, so far as concerns the constructions with which his paper dealt, has not been materially changed from the shape in which it already stood in writing at the time when the latter appeared. Professor Sonnenschein has anticipated me in publishing the doctrine. He has, however, divined, rather than established, the nature of these constructions; for, as I have said in the article cited, he has not supported his propositions with definite proof, such as the Greek might have afforded, if a study had been made of the significance of the presence or absence of the particle d'v (or He has left it for me, therefore, even in that part-of the field which he has touched.
