Excerpt from A Short Comparative Grammar of Greek and Latin for Schools and Colleges "In Prof. Henry's Précis we have a much needed work. The revolution undergone by comparative philology during the last ten years has made the old manuals obsolete, more especially those in which it was called upon to explain the sounds and grammatical forms of Greek and Latin. "Prof. Henry has supplied an increasingly felt want. The work could not have been undertaken by better hands. The author has himself borne a prominent part in the researches and discoveries of the last few years, and his wide knowledge and sound judgment make his criticism of the theories of others exceptionally valuable." - Prof. Sayce in the "Academy." "No better introduction to classical etymology than this has yet appeared. Prof. Henry has the advantage of writing in a language of euch unrivalled lucidity, that in it the most abstruse subjects seem plain and simple; and he is himself a master in whose hands we may feel safe, who is conversant with the latest philological literature, and can take a connected view of his science." - Classical Review.
