THE STUDY OF GREEK.

[To THE EDITOR OF THE " SPECTATOR."] Sm,—In your issue of September 2nd, under the heading " The Study of Greek," " Recluse " -mentions Bishop Caldwell's acknowledgment of " a serious disadvantage in his early education." I too am a victim of the same disadvantage, and had commenced to study Greek out hero some time before the correspondence on the subject first appeared in the Spectator. I am still endeavouring to master the language, but rather under difficulties. I want to know if you can tell me whether there is any one who would undertake to send me test papers out. I would gladly pay a certain sum for any assistance. If you would kindly help me in any way I should be deeply grateful—I am, Sir, he.,

R. BERTRAM TASKER, Lieut. R.E.
