Excerpt from A Short Treatise on the Greek Particles and Their Combinations: According to Attic Usage The present short Treatise is entirely original, and is under no obligation whatever to any work existing on the subject. It may.be objected, with some truth, that it is difficult to define what should be admitted under the strict definition of the term Particles. If, for instance, the uses of the conditional div and of the negatives of: and mi are included under this head, - and it does not seem reasonable to exclude them - it is not easy to write briefly on subjects involving so much variety in idiomatic usage. The best course is, perhaps, to lay down clearly the general principles only; for when these are well understood, then the details can be well filled up, like a picture completed from a good cartoon.
