Page 87 - In conditional sentences the clause containing the condition is called the protasis, and that containing the conclusion is called the apodosis. The protasis is introduced by some form of el, if.
Page v - I am not ashamed to admit that I cannot propose a definition comprehensive enough to include all the examples in § 1, § 2, or § 3, which shall still be limited enough to be called a definition.
Page i - Latin syntax is as well understood and clearly defined as the rules for addition and multiplication in Arithmetic, has not yet begun to learn. It is no disparagement of even the highest scholars, therefore, to say that they have left much of the most important work to be done by their successors.

Page 54 - In one use, it denotes that the action of the verb to which it is joined is dependent upon some condition, expressed or implied.
Page 224 - The genitive absolute is regularly used only when a new subject is introduced into the sentence (§ 110, 1), and not when the Participle can be joined with any substantive already belonging to the construction.
