Excerpt from Preparatory Greek Course in English

The chapter following, entitled Our Aim, has left very little requiring to be said in a preface.

The usage of the schools has generally given Latin chron ological precedence of Greek in a course of classical train ing. There is some reason to doubt whether this customary order is best. At any rate, we here have reversed it, choos ing to commence with the Greek. Whatever considerations mav favor the traditional order, for the case of the learner who aims at mastery of the languages themselves, as well as at acquaintance with the literatures of the languages, there is, perhaps, no serious consideration looking in the same direction, for the case of the student who aims only at know ing of Latin and Greek what may be learned through English alone.

The next book of the series herewith begun, will be the counterpart of this, that is, it will seek to do for Latin what this has sought to do for Greek.
