Excerpt from A Grammar of the New Testament Dialect Whoever will compare the present with the former edition of this work, will find the changes to be more numerous than could be well recounted. I would hope that they are for the better; but of this others must judge. A meagre skeleton of New Testament Grammar would not correspond viith my views of utility, although I am aware that there 18 a class of read ers who desire such a work. But the demands of sacred philology cannot be answered in this way, whoever may attempt so to satisfy them. Begin ners and hasty readers may complain, perhaps, of the copiousness of the present work; but those who are seriously bent upon the acquisition of a more enlarged knowledge of the New Testament idiom, will be the last to complain of its copiousness. Winer has occupied much more room with Syntax alone, than I have taken up with the whole compass of grammar. I do not complain of this in him; but I may repel criticism in respect to this subject which is not well grounded, by appeal to distinguished examples of much greater copiousness than my own. Of the importance of a New Testament Grammar for the purposes of sa cred criticism, it does not seem necessary to say any thing, at the present time. It 18 an encouraging circumstance, that our country is beginning to appreciate this subject In some degree as it deserves to be appreciated.
