Excerpt from The Tyro's Greek and English Lexicon, or a Compendium in English of the Celebrated Lexicons of Damm, Sturze, Schleusner, Schweighæuser: Comprehending a Concise Yet Full and Accurate Explanation of All the Words Occurring in Those Works Which, for Their Superior Purity and Elegance, Are Read in Schools and Colleges
Latin, - espremes a re¿ex as well as a passive sense and it was through inatten tion to this double power of a passive verb that grammarians were led to feign the ex istence of a middle voice. This, however, is an idle distinction that 1 shall en tirely dissipate in my Analogic Greece. 1 have, therefore, throughout this Lexicon annexed to the puslve voice the re¿ex sense, as a sense inherent in it, and most appropriate to it. Sturze, whose admirable Lexicon has conferred great benefit on Greek literature, pursued an opposite come. On every occasion he expresses the middle voice distinctly from the other two, while he classes the passive under the active voice; thus widening rather than correcting the common error, which supposes the passive and the middle to be two distinct forms.
