Riassunto

Excerpt from A Series of First Lessons in Greek: Adapted to the Second Edition of Goodwin's Greek Grammar, and Designed as an Introduction Either to Goodwin's Greek Reader, or to Goodwin and White's Selections From Xenophon and Herodotus, or to the Anabasis of Xenophon

In introducing the syntax, all idioms peculiar to Greek have been carefully explained on their first occurrence, and this explanation has often been subsequently again referred to in the notes; but idioms identical with the English, as e. G. The infinitive not in indirect discourse, have been freely employed from the first. The first year's knowledge of Latin also has been assumed in introducing constructions. The last twenty lessons are intended to give a drill on the general principles of syntax, and only the largest print of the sections in the grammar cited at the head of the lessons is to be learned. If under any particular construction there is a special fact of unusual difficulty or importance, attention is called to it in the notes. It is recommended that these lessons be taken at the rate of one or two a week in connection with the author whom the class shall have taken up on finishing Lesson LX. It should be added that the English parts of the exercises of these twenty lessons are not designed as a systematic course in Greek Composition. To meet this want, an American edition of Mr. Arthur Sidgwick's First Greek Writer is about to be published, and so the promise of four years ago at length fulfilled.
