This book provides a profound analysis of Greek scholarship and its impact on general culture. The author argues that a decline in the study of the Greek language leads to a decline in other areas of learning, especially history and philosophy. Greek is seen as the foundation of Western thought and culture and its influence can be seen in modern literature, science, and political systems. The book explores the history of classical education and examines the reasons why Greek has been neglected in recent times. The author makes a case for the continued importance of Greek scholarship, arguing that it is essential for a well-rounded education and for understanding the development of Western civilization. The book concludes by offering practical suggestions for how to improve the teaching of Greek in schools and universities.

Excerpt from Greek and What Next? An Address: Solomos' Hymn to Liberty, a Poem, Read Before the Alumni Association of Brown University, June 17, 1884

Roman emperors, the influence of whose intellectual work on the after history of Europe has been greater than that of all the rest of the Latin writers put together. Every school boy is familiar with the names of Cicer'o and Horatius and Tacitus, but he hears little of the debt which he owes to Gains~ and Paulus and Ulpianus, to Modestinus and the great Papinianus.

"A decline in the state of Greek scholarship implies even more than the failure of esteem for the most valuable and influential of all languages; it involves with it a gradual but certain decay of general culture, the sacrifice of learning to science, the neglect of the history of man and of thought for the sake of facts relating to the external world." - Isaac Todhunter, Conflict, of Studies, p. 135.
