Rules of accents are presented in Lesson 3. This lesson is a model of clarity and comprehensiveness, and as such it is a good representative of the book as a whole. Each section is a clear outline of the general rule, and the whole is followed by a summary in the form of a simple chart. Grammatical and syntactical points are presented and practiced with equal clarity. Charts and synopses are nicely laid out throughout, and reproducible paradigms are provided at the end of the book, followed by a list of the principal parts of 98 verbs, in alphabetical order.

The cultural readings, scattered throughout the textbook, provide breaks from grammar and introduce the student to many aspects of Greek culture, literature, and philosophy. This is an accurate description.
