Euphranor : a Dialogue on Youth, by Edward FitzGerald, is

Vol. XV. of the "New Pocket Library" (John Lane, is. net).

Surely that edition did not contain so many blunders in the Greek. There are some sixty Greek words and more than twenty mistakes, accents omitted or wrongly placed, breathings omitted, and one particularly atrocious, —6 yeterytxos.
