Excerpt from A Series of First Lessons in Greek, Vol. 9: Adapted to Goodwin's Greek Grammar, and Designed as an Introduction Either to Goodwin's Greek Reader, or to His Selections From Xenophon and Herodotus, or to the Anabasis of Xenophon In introducing the syntax, care has been taken that any idiom peculiar to Greek should be explained on its first occur rence, and the explanation subsequently repeated; but idioms identical with the English, as e. G. The infinitive not in indi rect discourse, have been freely employed from the first. The first year's knowledge of Latin also has been assumed in in troducing 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 likely to occur often, atten tion 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 connec tion with the author whom the class shall have taken up on finishing Lesson LV. 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, another book is in preparation to be taken by third year classes.
