Work
His most original written work was an essay on Greek accent, published in a German version in Georg Curtius's Sprachvergleichende Beiträge zur griechischen und lateinischen Grammatik. Hadley's A Greek Grammar for Schools and Colleges (New York, 1860; revised by Frederic de Forest Allen, 1884) was based on Curtius's Schulgrammatik (1852, 1855, 1857, 1859), and long held its place in American schools. He contributed to Webster's Dictionary a “Brief History of the English Language” (Springfield, 1864). He also wrote Elements of the Greek Language (New York, 1869). In 1873, after his death, his Introduction to Roman Law (twelve lectures; New York, edited by T.D. Woolsey) and his Essays, Philological and Critical (twenty altogether; New York, edited by William D. Whitney) were published.

Famous quotes containing the word work:
“Parenting can be established as a time-share job, but mothers are less good “switching off” their parent identity and turning to something else. Many women envy the father’s ability to set clear boundaries between home and work, between being an on-duty and an off-duty parent.... Women work very hard to maintain a closeness to their child. Father’s value intimacy with a child, but often do not know how to work to maintain it.”
—Terri Apter (20th century)
“Lazybones, sleepin’ in the sun, how you ‘spec’ to get your day’s work done?”
—Johnny Mercer (1909–1976)
“With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation’s wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow and his orphan, to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves, and with all nations.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
