CHAPTER III.
OF GRAMMATICAL SUCCESS AND FAME.
"Non is ego sum, cui aut jucundum, aut adeo opus sit, de aliis detrahere, et hac via ad famara contendere.

Melioribus artibus laudem parare didici.
Itaque non libenter dico, quod praesens institutum dicere cogit."-- Jo.
AUGUSTI ERNESTI _Praef.

ad Graecum Lexicon_, p.
