OF the Greek Grammar by C.. \. Goodrich, Professor
OF rhetoric and oratory in Yale College.
RECOMMEND ATOMS.
From Mr.. Stoddar teacher of Greek in the New la
ven Gymnasium.
Mcssrs. Durrie and Peck--In compliance with YOUR
request, Ihavc examined Lessons in Greek Parsnp
and cheerfuy express my decided appreciation of
the plan and execution of the work. Combining the
outlines of Greek and Grammar, with appropriate
exercises upon the various reflections, il fail to
increase the interest, and facilitate the progress of
learners, in acquiring the elements of the language.
In this view, regard it valuable introduction TO the
study Of Greek--preferable to any other with which
! am acquainted. Yours, etc.

and agree with Mr.. stoddard in his opinion of this
work. J. L. KINGSLEY
Yale College, August 18th 1920.
The Principal Of the Utica Academy writes as fol.
lows: "A work of this kind has long been wauted in
our schools; and it is believed that the present little
volume will supply the deficiency. The plan Of the
work is such as every teacher must approve IL be-
gins with the pupil, by parsng in easy sentences the
different parts of speech separately, he learns their
injections, and leads him by an easy progress of ap.
plying each rule Of etymoogy and syntax, as he adj.
yances TO familiar and thorough knowledge of the
grammar. The exercise in mutual translation add
much to the value Of the work; experience abund
ahty proves that these exercises cannot be ntrodu
ccd at too early period in learning the language"
