nposaua EAxavata : Prooemia Grceca 3 a Book of Easy
and Entertain- ing Extracts in Attic Greek, Introductory to the Fuller Study of the Greek Authors. With Notes and Complete Vocabularies. By Alexander Waugh Young, M.A. (Simpkin, Marshall, and Co.) —We are not very favourably impressed with the plan of this book. The vocabularies explain the most elementary diffi- culties up to the last, a method which we do not think conducive to progress. At the same time, and while the extracts are expressly stated to be intended for beginners, the book commences with an elaborate table of prepositions extending over twelve pages. This is certainly not in harmony with the vocabularies, nor is the table likely to be appreciated by beginners. The extracts are good, and the vocabularies careful and correct; but we do not think there is
any dearth of books of this class. 47 Jr M4X7.1 taX71, 13- 37: is, we suppose, a misprint as a translation of "The Battle of Hastings."
