Excerpt from Demonstrations in Greek Iambic Verse Hese Demonstrations are not printed With any idea of entering into competition with the masters of verse writing. I believe they contain no blunders, and they are as good as I can make them; but my aim is practical, namely, to teach those who know little about verses how they may learn more. In games we often learn more from those who are just good enough to beat us, than we could learn from professional players; and so I trust that if these verses are only a little better than the learner can make, he Will learn from them none the less.
