Book Description
Excerpt from The Study of Greek Now more than ever science, whether about things mental or material, needs the fineness of touch, which no other language has in the same degree, for her multifarious work of defining, sorting, analyzing. Now, more than even in the century of the Renaissance, the culture in which ancient Greece still stands unrivalled is almost deified. Now the specialty of our studies is to exhume the records of the past. Now the atten tion of religious people is turned, as in the days of Casaubon, to the investigation of old manu scripts. And yet now is the time chosen for a vehement assault on the study of the language, history, literature of the Hellenic race. It might be added, that the disparagement of Greek is all the more strange at a time when the athletics, in which Hellas has excelled all nations, are ex alted in England to the dignity of an art, a science, almost a religion.

Book Description
Excerpt from Elementary Greek an Introduction to the Study, of Attic Greek The tendency of instruction in Greek in America during the past few years has been more and more to require that the introductory book should be in the simplest and briefest form consistent with thoroughness. In recognition of this demand the authors of Elementary Greek have aimed to include only the facts that are essential to a book with such a purpose, and they hope that this book will prove a natural, simple, and yet thorough introduction to Attic Greek.

Book Description
Excerpt from Introductions to the Study of the Greek Classic Poets: Designed Principally for the Use of Young Persons at School and College In submitting this work to the public, I trust I may justify myself against any charge of individual presumption, by alleging the apparent usefulness of the undertaking, if well executed, and also that the matter itself is principally, though not exclusively, intended for young persons. It is possible, indeed, that a perusal of these introductions may not be unserviceable to many well educated readers of any age, and of either sex; but I do not directly address myself to graduates of any degree. By those who are still called boys, I hope the teaching of him, who has ceased to be one, will be as kindly received as it is affectionately given. My wish is to enable youthful student to form a more just and liberal judgement of the characters and merits of the Greek poets than he has commonly an opportunity of doing at school; and for that purpose to habituate his mind to sound principles of literary criticism.

Book Description
This book provides a clear and informed account of aesthetic and callistic concepts as they occur in the works of Plato and Aristotle. The author illustrates their ideas on art and beauty by close reference to their texts and finds a profound similarity which unites them, revealing many of their differences to be complementary aspects of an essentially similar viewpoint. He also shows how Greek notions of art and beauty are not merely primitive steps in the advance to modern ideas but have a direct relevance to modern critical controversies.

Book Description
Excerpt from Greek Prose Composition Part I contains, in graded lessons, the principal points of Greek syntax, the unusual and non-essential being purposely omitted. These lessons are designed for use at the beginning of the second year's study of Greek, thereby serving as a partial review of the first year's work and as an introduction to the composition work in connection with the reading of Xenophon's Anabasis. Part II contains short, simple English sentences, based on Books I - IV of the Anabasis. These should be used daily in connection with the reading of the text. Part III contains connected English prose, based on Books I - IV of the Anabasis. This is carefully graded, so that the stu dent who performs faithfully the work outlined here will be able to pass the entrance examination of any of the American colleges. The method of writing Greek at sight used in this book needs a word of explanation. It is the outgrowth of the author's personal experience in the classroom, and his belief that the best results can be obtained only by systematic practice in connection with the regular work.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Claims of Greek We have heard so much about letting the classics go. But that is not the question. We ought rather to ask, Will they let us go We cannot tear ourselves from Greece and Rome if we wish. The present strikes its roots deep into the soil of the past and draws its nourishment therefrom. We could not have a family quarrel and separate from our loftier brothers of antiquity if we would. The best minds of today, they who are really competent to judge of the question, are becoming more and more united in saying, We would not if we could. The teachers in the schools of the east tell us that statistics prove the study of Greek is on the in crease that a greater number take it every year. There they are recognizing as never before the paramount importance of classics as the foundation for any line of intellectual activity. The classic languages, literatures, histories, are the life of our life; the very blood of our blood. Athens is far more to us than Theseus ever was to her, Rome means far more to us than Romulus did to the.
