Greek Prose Phrase Book: Based on Thucydides, Xenophon, Demosthenes and Plato

By H W Auden

From the Preface. . . . This book does not profess to contain everything . . . its object being rather to stimulate a boy's own activity and suggest that he should add more phrases from his own reading, it is for this purpose that the book has been interleaved. Boys ought to do something for themselves towards scholarship. They nowadays expect to have everything done for them. As to possible uses of the book,--it may be used (a) as a reference book when writing Greek prose-e.g., before translating a description of a siege, the whole section on sieges (pp. 64-68) might be read through carefully, (b) It may be used as an enlarged vocabulary book, selected phrases being learned by heart. (c) As a substitute for an English-Greek lexicon, it may have its uses, especially as such a use of it necessitates a boy's 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. H. W. AUDEN. [This book is a reprint of a quality scanned copy.]
