Sidgwick Arthur. A First Greek Writer With Exercises and Vocabularies

Rivingtons, 1881. - 243 p.The object of this little book is to help those who are beginning Greek to leam from the first to write the language as well as read it. There is among many teachers a strong belief (which I am inclined, to share) that Greek is mastered much more effectively if a little writing be combined with the reading, even from the earliest stages. The great inferiority of the knowledge of Greek acquired at schools, as compared with Latin, is partly, no doubt, due to the language being harder and begun later, but partly also to the fact that Latin writing is cultivated from the first, while Greek writing is so commonly neglected.
