Excerpt from A Compendious System of Greek Grammar: In English and Greek; An Edition Literally Translated From the Latest and Most Approved Editions of Wettenhall's Grammar, and Published With a Particular View to Correctness in All the Examples and Variations

I think that not only the Greek, but all other grammars which we have occasion to use in our schools, should be in English: because it is certainly desirable, that whatever is to be commit ted to memory, should first be, if possible, perfectly understood; and because I am persuaded, that even the best of our scholars understand their native language better than any other.

If, in proposing to me this question, you have been influenced by any solicitude with respect to the demand which there may be for your translation of wettenhall, I am confident that it is wholly unnecessary; for, if I am not much mistaken, there will hereafter be little or no demand, in any part of the United States; for any other wettenhall than that with which you are now about to furnish us.
