FIRST GREEK CONSTRUING BOOK. ·BOD BY GEORGE RENAUD, M.A. LATE FELLOW OF CORPUS CHRISTI COLLEGE, OXFORD. LONDON: SIMPKIN, MARSHALL, & CO. STATIONERS' HALL COURT. ADVERTISEMENT. THIS little book is partly on the plan of "Cæsar for beginners," published by Taylor and Walton, the use of which, with the Author's pupils, suggested the desideratum of a similar one in Greek. A slight acquaintance with the nouns and verbs will enable the pupil to proceed slowly with it. The gradual introduction of accents is an experiment, of course worth no more than any similar experiment, but perhaps deserving of a trial: if any, however, think otherwise, it will be easy to use the book without them; and indulgence is requested for a few anticipations and similar errors difficult to avoid. It may be added, that this little volume possesses the humble but obvious recommendation of introducing the beginner to genuine Greek, instead of the short, unconnected, made-up sentences, of which Delectuses are generally composed, and is likely to be of more permanent use in supplying him, as far as it goes, with a Vocabulary.
