Excerpt from Easy Selections Adapted From Xenophon: With a Vocabulary, Notes, and Map Adapted from which has now reached a third edition. Since those Selections' were published I have been so much engaged with other work that I should never have been able to complete this Preliminary Part without the welcome assistance of Mr. Jerram, who I found had already prepared an edition of the Anabasis on his own account. At my suggestion he kindly gave up this for an 'adapted' edition, to act as a First Greek construing-book. Besides his knowledge of the Anabasis, he brought to the work the freshest acquaintance with the actual wants of boys beginning Greek, from his experience in directing the classical teaching of a large preparatory school. Though I am responsible for the plan of the book, the main burden of the work has fallen on his shoulders, and if these Easy Selections' should in any way meet the wants of teachers, I hope the credit will be given where it is due. We owe thanks to Mr. Beuttler for preparing the first draught of the Vocabulary. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
