Excerpt from Greek Prose Composition Part I contains, in graded lessons, the principal points of Greek syntax, the unusual and non-essential being purposely omitted. These lessons are designed for use at the beginning of the second year's study of Greek, thereby serving as a partial review of the first year's work and as an introduction to the composition work in connection with the reading of Xenophon's Anabasis. Part II contains short, simple English sentences, based on Books I - IV of the Anabasis. These should be used daily in connection with the reading of the text. Part III contains connected English prose, based on Books I - IV of the Anabasis. This is carefully graded, so that the stu dent who performs faithfully the work outlined here will be able to pass the entrance examination of any of the American colleges. The method of writing Greek at sight used in this book needs a word of explanation. It is the outgrowth of the author's personal experience in the classroom, and his belief that the best results can be obtained only by systematic practice in connection with the regular work.

Excerpt from Bits of Verse and Prose There was a what-not in that little parlor, and there, on one Christmas day, she put her only gift, a highly colored candy rooster. She could not sleep that night for wondering if the candy rooster would still be there in the morning. Every day she would steal into the room to fondle the bit of brightly painted sugar, and would allow herself only the privilege of sucking just a wee taste ofi the base. But one awful day a little boy named Joe slipped into the parlor unseen, and there he found the candy rooster and heartlessly devoured it.

Excerpt from Prose and Verse, From the Port Folio of an Editor His thoughts and his beliefs were his mind's communion spirits, and it is no hap-hazard presumption to suppose that his approach to the veil, which separates the mortal from the spiritual world, was so near that, through the interstices - for the veil is not so closely knit as some imagine - he beheld some of those sights which flesh is not commonly heir to! Gustavus Kutzen, his friend, who, like Von Stautnan, often analyzed the mysteries of the mind, and who studied to detect the gossamer threads of the intricately woven garb of nature, had been to him the sun of his happiness, and the mutual thoughts, which their souls made known to them, were as stars in the zone of their destined and endless existences. They poured out their minds to each other, as if they had but one being: - their hearts, too, grew together, Like violet-bells upon the self-same stem, Pouring the dewy odors of life's spring Into each other's bosom - and year after year they lived on 'giving and taking strength reciprocal!' Von Stautnan had no love for the world - its follies, or vexations - nor did he court the applause of its thronging multitude. Nevertheless, his daughter was a being, whom he loved with an affection pure and priceless! Through sunshine and storm, he hung over her with a paternal fondness, and his prayers secret and ceaseless, were, that they might meet after death in the paradise of spirits, - there to be joined by a mother, of whom she was the accurate 'presentment, ' and whom Von Stautnan had formerly cherished, as the breath of his life.

Excerpt from A Study of Prose Fiction Tunaim ofthis book istodiscussthe out lines of the art of prose fiction. It was first published in 1902, and has been reprinted so often that I have no excuse for any errors of fact which it may still contain.

Still unwritten. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
