BASED ON Thucydides, Xenophon, Demosthenes, Plato
From the Author's Preface:
As to possible uses of the book,Ñit may be used (_) as a reference-book when writing Greek proseÑe.g., before translating a description of a siege, the whole section on sieges (pp. 64-68) might be read through carefully. (_) It may be used as an enlarged vocabulary-book, selected phrases being learned by heart. (_) As a substitute for an English-Greek lexicon it may have its uses, especially as such a use of it necessitates a boy thinking. The index refers him to a page on which the word or similar ideas occur : he must select from the context according to his needs.
This is a re-typeset edition of the 1899 original. Many typos have been corrected to the best of my ability. If you find more, please let me know and I will correct them in future editions.
