Excerpt from The Theory of Conditional Sentences in Greek Latin: For the Use of Students This book is the fruit of nearly half a century's study of the subject of which it treats on the part of the writer; and if he thought that, notwithstanding that the nonus annus of the poet has long since come and gone, yet further delay would add substantial value to his work, he would not scruple to impose it upon himself. But he doubts any such policy of further hesitation. There is such a thing, as the Preacher warns us, as the "loosing of the silver cord" and the "breaking of the golden bowl." It has been remarked as a common "incident in artificers to be enamoured of their own works," which they are ever "still mending, never ending." It can be said of a writer, as Carlyle said of Schiller, that he "konnte nie fertig werden, never could get done."
