Excerpt from Greek Ollendorff: Being a Progressive Exhibition of the Principles of the Greek Grammar; Designed for Beginners in Greek, and as a Book of Exercises for Academies and Colleges

Another object of this work is to furnish students with a book of Exercises to accompany the Grammar in any stage of their Greek studies. It was in the oral Exercises, which the Author has been in the habit of holding with his classes in College, that the conception of this work originated; and no time, he believes, could be more profitably employed by the Greek stu dent, than that spent in going thoroughly, with or without writing, over the entire body of Exercises con tained in this work, and such others of like character as the teacher may originate at the time. The absence of any peculiar grammatical nomenclature will enable the work to be used in connection with any Grammar; and the number of words introduced is purposely very small, in order that the pupil's attention may not be diverted from the principles of construction by an effort to remember unfamiliar words. It is, in fact, a marked feature of this book that it aims to present the leading principles of the Greek language through the medium of a very small number of words, and those words, in almost all cases, the names of very familiar, and through all the earlier part of the book, physical objects. Hence.
