Excerpt from Exercises in Greek Prose Composition: With References to Hadley's, Goodwin's, and Taylor's K�hner's Greek Grammars; And a Full English-Greek Vocabulary

The exercises on the verb are placed before those on the cases, in order to introduce greater variety in the early part of the work, and especially to insure as much practice as possible in the construction of sentences that involve the different but common uses of the voices, modes, and tenses Wherever a statement of the desired principle is omitted from one of the grammars, it is copied from another, and inserted as a note. A few notes are also added upon points not included in either of the grammars. In the preparation of Lesson XX., on Indirect Discourse, Professor Goodwin's excellent work on Greek Modes and Tenses was freely used. A full english-greek Vocabulary is added, containing synonymes of many words. These were mostly taken from Yonge's Lexicon; To those who teach prose composition for the first time a suggestion is offered. Require the exercises of each ad vance lesson to be written before they are brought to reci tation. Let them be copied upon the blackboard and criticisms made in presence of the whole class. That corrections are made at the seats is not sufficient: they ought to be seen on the blackboard; the pupils should also be subjected to a careful questioning upon the principles involved In review practise reciting the exercises orally and as often as possible.
