ARRANGED BT JOHN B. KENDRICK, B.A. (Yale). o»io BOSTON: PUBLISHED BY GINN, HEATH, & COMPAQ 1885. RNE UNIVERSITY LiBRARV 'J Entered, according to Act of Congress, in the year 1885, by JOHN B. KENDBICK, in the Office of the Librarian of Congress, at Washington. J. 8. CnsBiso & Co., Pbihtebb, 115 High Street, Boston. PKEFACE. It is suggested that for use in the class-room the Greek of the passage be read carefully and aloud by the pupils twice before the teacher calls for the translation. Sometimes well-chosen remarks by the teacher about the selection to be read, or about its author, are of real benefit. It is believed that the extracts are in them- selves well worth reading, aside from the linguistic purposes. I think that the use of such passages brightens and quicken's a class, gives variety and life to the routine of hard work, and is a real help to the student of Greek. J. B. K. New Haven, Conn.
