Excerpt from A Greek Reader, Containing Selections From Various Authors: Adapted to Sophocles's and Kuhner's Grammars, With Notes and a Lexicon; For the Use of Schools and Academies The Text appears in the newly imported type called the Perso nian, which has been received with great favor in some of the recent publications of the editor. The beautiful proportion and bold outline of the letters, make it far more attractive, than any other specimen of Greek type which has yet appeared. A gener ous spacing has been observed between the lines and words, in order that the page may not appear crowded, but open, and clear to the eye. This in the opinion of the editor is of no small impor tance, in a work designed for those who are just commencing the study of the Greek language, and who are not yet very familiar with the characters in which it is written.
