Excerpt from Greek Lessons: Consisting of Selections From Xenophon's Anabasis, With a Vocabulary, Notes, Directions for the Study of the Grammar, Sentences for Translation Into Greek, and Suggestions for Greek Dialogue

The selections have been restricted to a single author and a single work for several reasons. It seems undesirable that the student, in his first attempts to read and write a language, should be distracted by diversities of style. In reading detached passages, one often wishes to examine the connection from which they have been taken. This can be done with case, when they have been all extracted from a single familiar work. For those who will pass from these Lessons to the Anabasis, there are special advan tages. They will come to the reading of that charm ing work no strangers, but having already a familiarity with its vocabulary, and some degree of acquaintance with its style and subject-matter. And, as they read sentence after sentence upon its attractive pages, they will recognize many an old friend; and will now obtain that intimacy of acquaintance which, with sentences as with men, can only be got at theirrun you.
