 rtgard to the exceptions. My figures give this in Greek and 

 Latin for the noun and the verb, and with this short introduction 

 I leave them to speak, as a conspectus of classical accidence, on 

 the system, somewhat, of the parallel grammars, but in a highly 

 condensed form, from which the learner is intended to develop 

 himself the usual declensions and conjugations, but instead of 

 these apearing to him as disconnected puzzles, they will now have 

 a consistence which they had not before, and contribute to the 

 formation of that which would so greatly encourage taste for 

 lang^iage-learning, and provide ease therein — I mean, the philo- 

 logical sense, so far to seek amonc ns Britishers.

* ou for o[.s>']o, used also for the gen. of masc. — A nouns. 



t The character -Y or -I is here weakened to €. as also in G. (ew?), D. Sg. and in Dual. 



N.B. — A hyphen precedes the ending only when this absorbs the character of the stem. 

 Duals are omitted throughout out of regard to Latin. Also the Voc. as stem, and neut. sing. 

 IS stem, or {in O nouns) accus., and in plur. fern — A noun of multitude.
