Description

Excerpt from A First Greek Reading Book: Containing Short Tales, Anecdotes, Fables, Mythology, and Grecian History

This Reading Book is intended to be used with the First A part of the Initia Graeca. Its use will have to begin as soon as the learner has acquired a fair knowledge of the Regular Verbs.

The first requisite having been secured, that of fixing the bizarre forms of Nouns and Verbs securely in the learner’s memory, he cannot be too soon introduced to pas sages written by the Greek authors themselves, and con taining a complete sense. His mind should be interested in the subject matter, whilst he learns the meaning of the forms already committed to memory by seeing them in their proper connections. No learner, of the youngest age at which Greek is frequently begun, will also be insensible to the new power’ he begins to gain by reading the elements which lie at the basis of all polite learning in the words of those writers who have given the pattern of all literature.
