Extract from the Preface 



In this book my chief endeavour has been to interest the 

 student in the wonderful riches of the Greek language, its 

 idioms and its vocabulary. I do not advocate the constant 

 use of the "English-Greek" in composition at school or at 

 the University... but I have found, in the course of a long 

 experience, that the entire absence of this aid often produces 

 a meagreness of language which is most discouraging to the 

 writer. It is a characteristic of the young student who has 

 any feeling for style to revel in fine words.

Athenaeum. The work of a sound scholar, and, as its 320 pages supply a 

 good grounding in vocabulary, separating verse and prose, it is likely to 

 be adopted for the use of young students. ...The Introduction is more 

 ' fitted for advanced Grecians than for beginners. It is, in fact, a sketch 

 of great interest, depending on fine scholarship, and affording an 

 admirable insight into the wonderful grace and variety of Greek.
