WESTMINSTER GREEK.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SPECTATOR.
MR. SPECTATOR—I should be glad if any Westminster Scholar, who may see this, would point out the sources of the late discoveries in Greek exemplified in a new edition of the Westminster Greek Grammar pub- lished in 1830. I find, on a cursory examination, that the second persons of the dual number in the imperative and potential moods, and in the imperfectum and the aorists of the indicative mood, are all wrong !— that is, if Homer, Herodotus, and the Eton Grammar be right. For example, where we formerly read IXErroy, ye said, we find imyr,r,2.; for 7.sysror, say ye (two), myrcyd., &c. ; and this not once, but always. It is not perhaps of much importance that boys should learn Greek ; but if their parents pay well for it, they should be well taught. A4cc.
