GREEK ACCIDENCE

BY

H. G. UNDERHILL, M.A.

ASSISTANT MASTER ST. PAUL'S PREPARATORY SCHOOL

"The aim of this book is to supply a 'drill ground' for exercise in the nouns, adjectives, and the Active Voice of regular verbs in . The exercises were written for boys using Mr. Rutherford's First Greek Grammar, and they follow the arrangement of that book. I have, however, at Mr. Rutherford's suggestion, given the true form of the Pluperfect instead of that usually given in the grammars, and have also omitted all uncontracted forms, such as λóos. Parts I. and II. are quite independent of each other. Younger boys should first work through Part I., and afterwards proceed to Part II.; but for older boys the Second Part will generally afford sufficient practice in Greek Accidence so far as it is dealt with here.

"Most teachers will use a book in their own way, but the suggestion of a plan, which experience has shown to produce satisfactory results, may be of service to some. The form should first be made to learn a vocabulary by heart, and then to go through all the nouns, adjectives, and verbs it contains before touching the exercise. Then, after they have translated the Greek sentences viva voce, they may be given a set of the English to turn into Greek on paper. In revising, I use the English sentences for viva voce work, and more or less discard the Greek. The book is so printed that a boy when translating an exercise viva voce, will not have the corresponding vocabulary before him, but will be compelled to rely upon his memory."-From the Preface.

Cambridge Review "Useful if rapidly used. If a boy has time to learn the vocabularies and get the work up as suggested by the author, he will be fortunate in having more time for this subject in the lower forms than is now generally the case. The work is started on the right basis with the regular verb from the first, and as the vocabularies are well selected it will have admirers."

Journal of Education-"This book is adapted to Mr. Rutherford's Grammar. The exercises advance slowly through the elementary accidence, stopping short of the verbs in -μ (except eiμl) and excluding the pronouns. A good feature of the book is that the -w verbs are classified according to their stems, and the formation of the future and weak aorist in each class is carefully insisted on. The book is a good one for boys who begin Greek young."

GREEK EXERCISE BOOK

BY

REV. W. A. HEARD, M.A.

HEAD-MASTER OF FETTES COLLEGE, EDINBURGH

"This Exercise Book is supplementary to the first exercise book of the series, and deals mainly with the verb. It is based on Dr. Rutherford's First Greek Grammar, and should be used in connexion with it, The methods of forming the tenses in verbs of the normal type, and the special forms of particular verbs, should be learnt from the Grammar. The Greek exercises are intended to familiarise the eye with these forms, and the English exercises to afford practice in the use of them. As the English exercises are for the most part constructed with special reference to the Greek exercises that precede them, the two ought always to be taken together. The aim has been to use only those parts of the verb which are found in Attic Greek, and, without specifying the limitations of Attic usage, to accustom the eye and mind to the forms that are met with in the best Attic authors."-From the Preface.

Schoolmaster-"These exercises carry out a good educational idea. They consist of, first, a translation of easy Greek sentences, and then follow English sentences to be turned into Greek, upon the model of the preceding lesson. There are a large selection to go over, and are all comparatively easy."

Educational Times-"This Exercise Book, of about one hundred and fifty pages, is supplementary to the First Exercise Book of Macmillan's 'Greek Course,' and deals mainly with the verb. It is based on Dr. Rutherford's First Greek Grammar, and should be used in connexion with it. It contains over two hundred well-graded exercises, each of ten sentences, numerous grammatical notes, and vocabularies. We recommend it to the careful attention of schoolmasters."

GREEK SYNTAX

BY

REV. G. H. NALL, M.A.

"The great success of Mr. Rutherford's First Greek Syntax has induced the publishers to add to their 'Greek Course' an Exercise Book prepared specially to accompany this Syntax. The book is divided into chapters and sections corresponding precisely with the divisions in the Syntax. The Greek examples given in the Syntax are collected (with a few unimportant changes) either at the beginning of each chapter, or at the beginning of each sub-division of a chapter; and then a series of exercises follows, based very closely upon these examples.

"The plan of the book supposes that the pupil will first read carefully a certain portion of the Syntax, endeavouring to master the rules and to understand the examples which are there translated and explained. He will then turn to the Exercise Book and read over again the collected examples, translating them into English. When these have been mastered, and the rules which they illustrate have been discussed, he will proceed to the exercises. The earlier exercises in each division follow closely the words and constructions of the Greek examples; the later ones are more varied. On the more difficult portions of the Syntax, e.g. the Conditional Sentences, a large number of very easy exercises are given. It is hoped that this will make the book useful for quite young boys as well as for more advanced pupils."—From the Preface.

Scottish Leader-"The exercises and vocabularies in both Greek and English are carefully prepared, and seem well adapted to take young pupils through the more elementary part of Greek syntax; the large number and variety of examples on the more difficult portions, such as the Conditional Sentence, makes the book useful for beginners as well as more advanced pupils."
