Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a series of lectures on the subject of Greek prose composition. It is intended for the use of students who have already mastered the elements of the language, and are now desirous of acquiring a practical acquaintance with the art of writing Greek prose. The author has endeavored to supply a want which he believes to be extensively felt by teachers and students of Greek, by providing a systematic and thorough course of instruction in this important branch of classical study. The work is divided into four parts, which treat respectively of narrative, oratorical, philosophical, and Platonic Greek. In each part the author begins by laying down the general principles of the style in question, and then proceeds to illustrate these principles by a careful examination of a number of passages selected from the best Greek writers. The book is thus not only a valuable aid to the student in the actual practice of composition, but also a useful introduction to the study of Greek literature. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…
