Excerpt from Greek Reader: Consisting of Selections From Xenophon, Plato, Herodotus, and Thucydides; With Notes Adapted to the Revised and Enlarged Edition of Goodwin's Greek Grammar, and Copperplate Maps

This Reader is designed to supply an equivalent for Xenophon's Anabasis, which is now almost universally read in preparation for American colleges. It surely needs no argument to show that a better knowledge even of the elements of a language is gained from a variety of styles than from a single author, or that even the briefest course of reading is the better for exhibiting the higher qualities of the literature which it represents. The fact that the Anabasis is accessible in carefully prepared editions has given it a prominence in our schools which neither its literary merit nor its historic importance could justly claim; and its exclusive reign has not been without its injurious effect on our scholarship.
