ness. The earlier chapters are mainly founded on the great
work of G. Curtius on the Greek Verb. More recent writers
have cleared up some difficulties, especially in the phonology.
I have learned very much from M. de Saussure's
Mtmoire sur le systeme primitif des voyelles, and from several
articles by K. Brugmann and Joh. Schmidt, especially the last.
I would mention also, as valuable on single points, the papers
of J. Paech (Vratisl. 1861) and H. Stier (Curt. Stud. II)
on the
Subjunctive, B. Mangold
on the 'diectasis' of Verbs in -a&>
(Curt. Stud. VI), F. D. Allen on the same subject (Trans, of
the American Phil. Assoc. 1873), Leskien on o-crin the Fut. and
Aor. (Curt. Stud. II),
and K. Koch on the Augment (Brunsvici
1868). On the subject of Nominal Composition I
may name
a paper by W. Clemm in Curt. Stud. VII, which gives references
to the earlier literature of the subject, and one by F. Stolz
(Klagenfurt 1874). On the forms of the Personal Pronouns
there is a valuable dissertation by P. Cauer (Curt. Stud. VII) :
on the Numerals by Joh. Baunack (K. Z. :
XXV) on the Comparative
and Superlative by Fr. Weihrich (De Gradibus, &c.
Gissae 1869). Going on to the syntax of the Cases, I would
place first the dissertation of B. Delbruck, Ablativ Localis
Instrumental, &c. (Berlin 1867), and next the excellent work
of Hubschmann, Zur Casuslehre (Mlinchen 1875). On the
Accusative I have obtained the
greatest help from La Roche,
Der Accusativ im Homer (Wien 1861): on the Dual from
Bieber, De Duali Numero (Jena 1864). On the Prepositions
I have used the papers of C. A. J. Hoffmann (Luneburg 1857-
60, Clausthal 1858-59), T. Mommsen (see 221), Giseke, Die
allmdliche Entstehung der Gesdnge der Ilias (Gottingen 1853),
La Roche, especially on VTTO
(Wien 1861) and CTH (in the Z.f.
ost. Gymn.), Rau on -napd (Curt. Stud. Ill),
and the articles in
Ebeling's Lexicon. On this part of syntax the fourth volume
of Delbruck's Forschungen is especially instructive. Of the
literature on the Infinitive I would mention J. Jolly's Geschichte
des Infinitivs im Indogermanischen (Miinchen 1873), a^so a
paper by Albrecht (Curt. Stud. IV), and a note in Max
Mliller's Chips from a German Workshop (IV. p. 49 The
ff.).
use of the Participle has been admirably treated by Classen,
