PREFACE.

THE Series of which this is the first volume to appear will

be published in four Parts. Part I. will contain extracts from

simple Attic prose writers, and Part II. extracts from Herodotus

and Homer. These two volumes are designed for use in Schools,

and will be adapted to the needs of boys preparing for admis-

sion to Harvard College. Part III. will contain one hundred

and fifty extracts from Lysias, Demosthenes, Plato, Homer,

Euripides and Aristophanes. Part IV. contains the same num-

ber of extracts from Demosthenes, Plato, Xenophon, Herodotus,

Thucydides, Homer, Euripides, Sophocles, Aristophanes and

Aeschylus. These two volumes are designed for use in Colleges,

and present the authors from whose works passages are set each

year at Harvard College, in the examinations for Second-Year

Honors in Classics, for the purpose of testing the candidate's

ability to translate Greek at sight. Elementary directions for

reading at sight will be given in Parts I. and II., and Parts III.

and IV. will contain in common a brief but more advanced dis-

cussion of the same subject. Each Part will be published also

in a "Teachers' Edition," containing notes on the passages

selected, to be dictated by teachers at their discretion to their

classes. Teachers are referred to these editions for suggestions

in regard to the best method of using the books and for brief

bibliographical information.

VI PREFACE.

The passages contained in the present volume are adaptedto the use of Sophomores in Harvard College who are candi-

dates for Second-Year Honors in Classics. The special exami-

nation for these Honors was first held in 1872. The special

examination of Seniors for Final Honors in Classics was first

held in 1871. A part of each of these examinations is the test

of the candidate's facility in translating Greek and Latin at sight.

The ability of candidates to meet this test has steadily improvedsince the examinations were instituted. Sophomores are now

able, at the end of the year, when the examinations are held, to

translate passages formerly given to Seniors. About one quar-

ter of the extracts in this book are passages which have been

set in previous years in the Final Honor examinations. About

one third are passages which have been set in the Second-Year

Honor examinations. The rest have been specially selected.

The phrase' translation at sight

'

in the title of the volumes

in this Series was chosen advisedly. The books are designedfor use in the class-room, and it is intended that the teacher

shall make translation the final test of the accuracy with which

the student has read. But the processes of reading and trans-

lation should not be confused. It is the fatal defect of a

method widely in vogue that the pupil translates in order to

get the meaning, whereas he should get the meaning first by

reading the passage as a Greek would have read it, so far as is

possible, and translate afterwards only to show whether or not

he has read correctly. The method outlined in the following

Introduction requires the passage to be read without translating ;

and, if the passage is properly adapted to the pupil's stage of

advancement, it will be found entirely practicable in the class-

PREFACE. Vii

room, where he is reading under the direction of the teacher,

to avoid translation altogether while the passage is under dis-

cussion. Difficulties, of course, must be discussed, and facts

may be stated and suggestions given by the teacher. When,

however, the passage has been read in the manner outlined, and

read repeatedly if necessary, translations into good, terse Eng-lish should be made the final test of accuracy. Otherwise

teacher and pupil will be alike uncertain as to results. We mayconfidently hope that the time will come when our pupils will

not need to translate the easier Greek authors whom they are

reading in large amounts, but will apprehend the thought rapidly,

clearly and accurately, as did the Greek to whom it was origi-

nally addressed, without the intervention of a foreign tongue.

But the ability to read any Greek author in this manner is

acquired only by practice, and the possession of this ability

should not be taken for granted too early. Only when repeated

tests have proved conclusively that the pupil possesses it, maytranslation safely be omitted.

INTRODUCTION.

FRIEDRICH RITSCHL, one of the greatest scholars and teachers

that this century has produced, used to urge upon the eager

learners who gathered about him the golden precept quoted on

the title-page of this book. He spoke from full experience and

with deep conviction. From the height of his own achieve-

ments, he pointed out in these words the way to scholarship.

The classical philologist, he said, must know the ancient lan-

guages thoroughly ;and the only way in which to acquire this

knowledge is to read these languages persistently.*

Teachers of the classics in this country have felt during the

last twenty years a growing conviction that the ability to read

with rapidity and ease is of prime necessity. The larger the

teacher's personal experience, the more clearly he sees that, as

on the one hand the Greek and Latin literatures are open only

to those who can read the Greek and Latin languages with

facility, so also the ability to read these languages in this man-

* " Immer bleibt die griindliche Kenntniss der alien Sprachen was den

Philologen macht und vom blossen Antiquar oder Historiker der nach

Uebersetzungen arbeitet, unterscheidet. Lesen, viel lesen, sehr viel lesen,

The fifth of the amusing but instructive "Zehngebote fur classische

Philologen," formulated by Lehrs and Ritschl when they were both old

men, reads " Du sollst lesen lernen !"

X INTRODUCTION.

~ner is the necessary condition to that study of ancient Greek

and Roman life, in all its multitudinous aspects, which marks

the scholar. Teachers have come to believe that, whether

their pupils are to be simply cultivated men and women, or

are to become profound classical scholars, their duty is to

give them first a real command over the languages of the

two great peoples whose civilization has so deeply impressed

modern life.

We may sorely hamper ourselves by bad methods in reading.

The function of the volumes in this series is to encourage and

aid the use of a proper method. The passages here presented

furnish the means for practice in reading and translation at

sight. But the fundamental principle of the method employedin reading these passages should be applied to all the reading

that the student does. The chief advantage of reading short

extracts is that the reader is less likely to yield to the tempta-

tion that besets the classical student on all sides, from the very

fulness of his apparatus, to avail himself of undue help. Our

lexicons, notes, and translations should be a blessing. But

they frequently prove to be a curse, enfeebling the memoryand weakening the powers of observation and of independent

judgment.To state the principle briefly, the reader should depend upon

himself. Whether his knowledge of Greek forms and idioms,

of Greek words, and of the facts of ancient Greek life, be large

or small, he should always first make honest use of his own

resources. Then comes the legitimate and inevitable use of

lexicon, notes, and manuals. Reading at sight does not imply

the ability to read with perfect understanding at the first glance

THE ART OF READING AT SIGHT. XI

the text of a work which we have never before seen. It means

rather the power to read without aid. The process may be

slow at first. The rate is not a matter of essential importance,

and necessarily varies with different persons, and with the same

person at different stages of his study. But it is of the greatest

importance that the reader should tax his memory for knowl-

edge once acquired, that his powers of observation should be

alert, and that he should make up his own mind about points

of difficulty.

The ease and rapidity with which we read Greek will dependon our command of the forms and idioms of the language, on

our acquaintance with the meanings of Greek words, on our

knowledge of ancient Greek life, and on the amount of practice

which we have had. Persons who can profitably use the pres-

ent book of extracts will long since have trained themselves in

the elementary processes. A full statement, dealing mainly with

forms, idioms, and vocabulary, of the principles by which those

who are beginning the language should be guided will be madein the introduction to the first two books in the series

; but

these principles are so important as to demand brief considera-

tion here also.

In order to read, we must have a trustworthy working knowl-

edge of the grammar of the language. This is absolutely nec-

essary, and there is no royal road to its acquisition. The first

year's study of Greek is the hard year, even if our aim be, as it

should be, the acquisition of purely practical knowledge. Wemust be able to recognize forms accurately at sight, and must

have a clear understanding of Greek laws of construction. But

such knowledge is a growth. If a form or idiom occurs in our

Xll INTRODUCTION.

reading with which we are not acquainted, or if, as is more

likely, a form or an idiom occurs which we once knew but have

now forgotten, we must patiently turn to our grammars. But

this resort to the grammar should not be had until our inde-

pendent study of the passage has been completed. Then the

new fact, or the forgotten fact, should be made a permanent

possession against future as well as present needs.

In order to read, we must have also a knowledge of the

meanings of Greek words. The acquisition of a vocabulary is

necessarily a process of growth. The lexicon must be used

constantly, especially in the first years of our reading, but it

should never be resorted to until we have made every effort,

depending solely on ourselves, to recall or arrive at the mean-

ing of the word that eludes us. A stubborn effort of memory,with the aid of the context, will often restore to our recollec-

tion the apparently forgotten meanings of words. The meaningof new words we should endeavour to determine by analysis,

that is, we should discover, if possible, the intermediate stems

and ultimately the roots from which they are derived. In

Greek the derived and compounded words largely outnumber

the so-called root-words. Words naturally group themselves in

families. To commit words to memory as separate units with-

out regard to their relationship is sheer waste of time. To

group them according to their genetic connexion greatly re-

duces the strain upon the memory. The mnemonic value of

association on the lines of form and meaning, the two tests ap-

plied in etymologizing, is great. If, however, the meaning of a

word cannot be recalled, or be determined by analysis, it should

be inferred if possible from the context. When the indepen-

THE ART OF READING AT SIGHT. Xlll

dent study of the passage has been completed, the lexicon

should be diligently used and a list made of all words that

have given difficulty. These, properly placed in the groups to

which they genetically belong, should then be committed to

memory.But knowledge of forms and idioms, and of the meanings of

words, however extensive, is not alone sufficient to enable us

to read with true understanding. We must in addition have

knowledge of Greek literary and political history, geography,

biography, mythology, and antiquities. We must place our-

selves as nearly as possible in the position of the ancient

hearers or readers of the orators, historians, and poets of

Greece whom we are reading. The larger this knowledge,the truer will be our comprehension of what they said and

wrote ;without this knowledge we shall in part fail to under-

stand them, and in part fantastically distort the picture they

give us by unconsciously using modern associations and ideas

in explaining that ancient and in many respects alien civiliza-

tion.

Whatever knowledge of this sort we possess we must apply.

And we must make the utmost effort to recall facts once known.

What we need, but do not possess, we must thoroughly acquire.

We must haye manuals within reach to which to refer. These

we need no less than grammar and lexicon. Unfortunately

trustworthy manuals in English on some of the subjects named,

especially on antiquities, are as yet lacking.

We shall be assisted in reading the extracts in this book if

we have some knowledge of the author, of his life, of the times

in which he wrote, of the field of his literary activity, and of

XIV INTRODUCTION.

his works. These facts can be learned from Jebb's Primer

of Greek Literature (an excellent little book), Mahaffy's His-

tory of Classical Greek Literature, Miiller and Donaldson's

History of the Literature of Ancient Greece, or Collins's Series

of Ancient Classics for English Readers. The dictionaries of

biography and the political histories can also be drawn upon.

If, moreover, in the analysis that precedes the passage, or in

the designation of the work from which it is taken, there is a

reference to an historical or mythological personage, to a place

or people, or to an historical event, the dictionaries of biog-

raphy, mythology, and geography, or the political histories

should be consulted. These facts should be recalled or learnt

before we begin to read. We should not deprive ourselves of

the advantage of knowing the setting of the extract which we

are about to undertake.

When our independent study of the extract according to the

directions given below has been completed, certain matters

may still be in doubt which will need investigation. For the

facts of political history we may consult Smith's Student's

History of Greece, or the histories of Grote, Curtius, or Abbott ;

for geography, Smith's Dictionaries or Kiepert's Manual, and

Kiepert's Ancient Atlas or Johnston's Classical Atlas;for biog-

raphy, Smith's Dictionaries;and for mythology, Smith's Dic-

tionaries, Murray's Manual of Mythology, or Seemann's Classi-

cal Mythology ;for antiquities, Smith's Dictionaries (not always

trustworthy), Gow's Companion to School Classics (an excel-

lent book), or Rich's Dictionary (well illustrated) ;and for

special departments, Schoemann's Antiquities of Greece for

political antiquities, and Guhl and Koner's Life of the Greeks

THE ART OF READING AT SIGHT. XV

and Romans or Becker's Charicles for the antiquities of private

life.*

When any person is sufficiently advanced in his Greek

studies properly to undertake the reading of the passages col-

lected in this book, he will have a good knowledge of Greek

grammar, the command of an extensive vocabulary, and a con-

siderable acquaintance with the facts of Greek life. Thus

equipped he should make the independent study to which

reference has above been repeatedly made according to the

following directions. These directions are formulated from an

extended experience. But when any person has reached this

stage of advancement, he will have settled for himself manydetails in his mode of reading. The important thing for him

to do is to read independently of extraneous aid. The reader,

as has been said above, before he undertakes any passage

should know the principal facts in the life of its author and

the general character of the work from which it is taken,

and should read carefully the analysis prefixed to the extract.

* The following is a list of small and inexpensive books which would

serve the student fairly well as manuals to which to refer for the facts

both of literary history and of the other subjects : Jebb's Primer of Greek

Literature, Appleton & Co., N.Y., 45 cts. (or Mahaffy's History of Classical

Greek Literature, two vols., Harper & Bros., N.Y., $4.00); Smith's Stu-

dent's History of Greece, Harper & Bros., N.Y., $1.25; Smith's Student's

Classical Dictionary of Biography, Mythology, and Geography, Harper &Bros., X.V., 51.25; Johnston's Classical Atlas, Ginn & Company, Boston,

$2.00; Gow's Companion to School Class'ics, Macmillan & Co., N.Y., $1.50;Smith's School Dictionary of Greek and Roman Antiquities, Harper & Bros.,

N.Y., $1.00 (not always trustworthy). A valuable addition would be Guhl

and Koner's Life of the Greeks and Romans, Appleton & Co., N.Y., $2.00.

XVI INTRODUCTION.

DIRECTIONS FOR READING AT SIGHT.

Read the passage aloud in the original, that is, without trans-

lating.

Repeat the reading, if the thought of the passage is not per-

fectly clear, dealing with the difficulties that arise sentence by

sentence, without help from grammars or dictionaries.

Read the passage again rapidly, aloud, in the original.

In reading :

Observe sharply theforms of words.

Determine the meaning of new words by analysis.

Determine the shade of meaning of any doubtful word fromthe context, startingfrom itsfundamental idea.

Make the utmost effort of memory to recallfacts in history,

geography, biography, mythology, or antiquities, that have been

previously learnt.

Follow the Greek order strictly in arriving at the thought.

We must read aloud. The appeal made to the ear in reading

aloud is of great value, "since it sharply defines words, phrases,

and sentences. It is, moreover, an important aid in etymologiz-

ing. The underlying stems of a word are more quickly perceived

when it is distinctly pronounced than when it is merely read

silently. The rhythm of the sentence also is an important aid

in determining its meaning. In reading enunciate distinctly.

The directions in italics must be followed in every reading.

But if a second reading of the passage proves to be necessary,

the application of the principles embodied in the directions

will be more deliberate. This reading may be slow. The pas-

sage should now be dealt with sentence by sentence, and the

THE ART OF READING AT SIGHT.

sentences that give difficulty should, if necessary, be read re-

peatedly. While reaching all conclusions that are certain in

regard to the mutual relations of parts of the sentence and to

the meanings of words, and while making special effort to re-

call clearly facts in history and the other subjects named above,

suspend judgment on doubtful points until all the obtainable

elements that are necessary to a decision have been recalled

or discovered. If the means of decision are reached, the mind

will settle doubtful cases in the order of their difficulty with

great rapidity. An illegitimate inference drawn in the middle

of a sentence will often prove a complete bar to arriving at its

correct meaning. In determining the exact shade of meaningof a doubtful word, start from its fundamental idea, which

will commonly have a physical application, and be guided

by the context. Further, in striving to reach the thought of

the sentence, do not painfully piece subject, verb, and modifiers

together as if in a puzzle. This method, although still recom-

mended in some manuals, is pernicious. If we are to learn to

read with rapidity and ease, we must approach the thought pre-

cisely as the Greek reader or hearer did. We must, therefore,

follow the Greek order strictly, and absolutely refuse to arrive

at the thought in any other manner. Thus it will appeal to our

mental consciousness as it did to that of the Greeks to whomit was originally addressed, and have in our minds exactly the

development that it had in theirs, the words grouping them-

selves in phrases, and the phrases succeeding one another in

natural order, until the thought is completely evolved.

A single reading of the passage may prove to be sufficient.

But if i second more deliberate reading is found to be neces-

XV111 INTRODUCTION.

sary, it should be followed by a third rapid reading. The

first reading reveals the thought of the passage more or less

clearly, and shows the difficulties to be overcome. The second

attempts the independent solution of these difficulties. If this

is successful, the third furnishes a connected and continuous

exposition of the thought, now completely comprehended. If

the second reading is not successful, the third will be a final

concentrated effort to master unaided the difficulties which pre-

vent our perfect apprehension of the author's meaning. Now,when all has been done that can be done without aid, resort

should be had, if necessary, to grammar, lexicon, and manuals.

woes abide.

GREEK TEXT-BOOKS.

Goodwin's Greek Grammar.

By WILLIAM W. GOODWIN, Ph.D., Eliot Professor of Greek Literature

in Harvard College. Revised and Enlarged Edition. Published in

December, 1879. 12mo. Half morocco. 425 pages. Mailing Price.

$1.65; Introduction, $1.50; Allowance for old book, 50 cents.

rPHE object of this Grammar is to state general principles clearly" and distinctly, with special regard to those who are preparing

for college.

In the new edition many important changes have been made.

The part relating to the inflection of the Verb has been entirely

rewritten, and increased from fifty to one hundred pages. Part

III., on the Formation of Words, has been added in this edition.

Part V., on Versification, is almost entirely new, and follows to a

great extent the principles of J. H. H. Schmidt's Rhythmic and

Metric. The other parts, especially the Syntax, have been thor-

oughly revised, and numerous additions have been made. The

Catalogue of Verbs has been greatly enlarged, and each verb is

now referred to its proper class in the classification of G. Curtius,

which is adopted in the Grammar itself. The sections on the Syntaxof the Verb are generally condensed from the author's larger work

on the Greek Moods and Tenses, to which advanced students, and

especially teachers, are referred for a fuller exposition of manymatters which are merely hinted at in the Elementary Grammar.

This new edition has been published also by Macmillan & Co. in

London, and is commended by British authorities as "the best

Greek Grammar of its size in the English language."

Martin L. D'Ooge, Professor of and clearly. Its treatment of the in-

Greek in the Un iuersity ofMichigan: flection of the verb is especially skil-

The Grammar, it seems to me, hits ful and clear. I know of no Greekthe exact mean between a book of grammar for English-speaking stu-

reference and a bare outline. It dents that combines so many merits

gives results concisely and yet fully in so attractive a form.

White's First Lessons in Greek.

Prepared to accompany Goodwin's Greek Grammar, and designed as anIntroduction either to his Greek Reader or to his Selections from Xeno-phon and Herodotus, or to the Anabasis of Xenophon. By*JOHN WIL-LIAMS WHITE, Ph.D., Professor of Greek in Harvard University. 12mo.Half-morocco. x + 286 pages. Mailing Price, $1.30; Introduction, $1.20;Allowance for old book, 25 cents.

A SERIES of eighty lessons, with progressive Greek-Englishand English-Greek Exercises, taken mainly from the first four

books of Xenophon's Anabasis. The Exercises consist wholly of

complete sentences, followed by a series of Additional Exercises

on Forms, and complete Vocabularies. These lessons are care-

fully graded, and do not follow the order of arrangement of the

Grammar, but begin the study of the verb with the second lesson,

and then pursue it alternately with that of the remaining parts of

speech.

Alexander Kerr, Prof, of Greek,

University of Wisconsin : The best

book for beginners which I have ever

examined.

E. H. Wilson, Prin. ofHigh School,

Middletown, Conn. : It is the best

book for beginners in Greek I haveever used.

Companion of Parallel References to Hartley andAllen's Greek Grammar.

Designed to accompany the second edition of A Series of First Lessonsin Greek. By JOHN WILLIAMS WHITE, Ph.D. iv + 45 pages. Thispamphlet accompanies all copies of White's First Lessons in Greek freeof charge, when so ordered, and thoroughly adapts the First Lessons inGreek to use with Hadley & Allen's Grammar. Exact parallels havebeen found to almost all the references in the Lessons, and the newreferences are more than simple parallels : they are made to present theparticular point or subject fully and completely.

Leighton's New Greek Lessons.With references to Hadley's Greek Grammar as well as to Goodwin'sNew Greek Grammar. Intended as an Introduction to Xenophon 's

A BOUT seventy easy and well-graded lessons, both Greek and

English, introduce the pupil to the first book of Xenophon'sAnabasis, from which the Exercises and Vocabularies are mainlyselected. The amount of matter to be translated into Greek is

sufficient to prepare a student for most American colleges.

58 GREEK TEXT-BOOKS.

COLLEGE SERIES OF GREEK AUTHORS.

EDITED BY

PROFESSOR JOHN WILLIAMS WHITE AND

PROFESSOR THOMAS D. SEYMOUR.

rjlHISseries will include the works either entire or selected of

all the Greek authors suitable to be read in American colleges.

The volumes contain uniformly an Introduction, Text, Notes,

Rhythmical Schemes where necessary, an Appendix including a

brief bibliography and critical notes, and a full Index. In accord-

ance with the prevailing desire of teachers, the notes are placed

below the text, but to accommodate all, and, in particular, to

provide for examinations, the text is printed and bound separately,

and sold at the nominal price of twenty cents. In form the volumes

are a square octavo. All except text editions are bound both in

cloth and in paper. Large Porson type, and clear, diacritical marks

emphasize distinctions and minimize the strain upon the student's

eyes. As the names of the editors are a sufficient guaranty of their

work, and as the volumes thus far issued have been received with

uniform favor, the Publishers have thought it unnecessary to pub-lish recommendations. See also the Announcements.

The Clouds of Aristophanes.

the place of Aristophanes in American Colleges is not'

definitely fixed, the Commentary is adapted to a tolerably wide

range of preparation.

The Protagoras of Plato.

Edition : 69 pages. Paper: Mailing Price, 25 centsj Introduction, 20 cents.

rpHE Protagoras is perhaps the liveliest of the dialogues of Plato.

In few dialogues is the dramatic form so skilfully maintained

without being overborne by the philosophical development. By the

changing scenes, the variety in the treatment of the theme, and the

repeated participation of the bystanders, the representation of a

scene from real life is vivaciously sustained.

Noticeable, too, is the number of vividly elaborated characters :

Socrates, ever genial, ready for a contest, and toying with his oppo-nents. Protagoras, disdainful toward the other sophists, conde-

scending toward Socrates. Prodicus, surcharged with synonymicwisdom. Hippias, pretentious and imposing. The impetuousAlcibiades and the tranquil Critias.

Herr Geheim-Rath Sauppe is the Nestor of German philologists,

and his Introduction and Commentary have been accepted as

models by scholars.

The Antigone of Sophocles.Edited on the basis of Wolff's edition. By MARTIN L. D'OoGE, Ph.D.,Professor of Greek in the University of Michigan. Square 8vo. I'.KJ

pages. Cloth : Mailing Price, $1.50 ; Introduction, $1.40. Paper: $1.20and $1.10. Text Edition: 59 pages. Paper: Mailing Price, 25 cents;Introduction, 20 cents.

rPHE Commentary has been adapted to the needs of that largenumber of students who begin their study of Greek tragedy

with this play. The Appendix furnishes sufficient material for an

intelligent appreciation of the most important problems in the

textual criticism of the play. The rejected readings of Wolff are

placed just under the text. The rhythmical schemes are based

upon those of J. H. Heinrich Schmidt.

Thucydides, Booh I.

Thucydides, Book VII.

rpHE main object of these editions of Books I., V., and VII. of

Thucydides is to render Classen's Commentary accessible to

English-speaking students. His text has been followed with few

exceptions. The greater part of his notes, both exegetical and

critical, are translated in full. But all the best commentaries on

Thucydides, and the literature of the subject generally, have been

carefully studied to secure the best and latest results of Thucy-didean research. Frequent reference is made not only to the

standard grammars published in the United States, but also to

the larger works of Kriiger and Kiihner. Each volume is provided

with a full index.

Xenophon, Hellenica, Boohs I. -IV.

Edited on the basis of the edition of Biichseuschiitz, by IRVING J.

MANATT, Ph.D., LL.D., Chancellor of the University of Nebraska.

Square 8vo. 300 pages. Cloth: Mailing Price, 81.75; Introduction,81.65. Paper: 81.45 aud 81.35. Text Edition : 138 pages. Paper: Mail-

ing Price, 25 cents; Introduction, 20 cents.

rpHIS work, treating of an extremely interesting period of Greek

history, is admirably adapted to classes in rapid reading. The

Commentary deals largely with the history and antiquities of the

period, but provides grammatical information and suggestion for

those who desire to use this book for the review and inculcation

of grammatical principles. Very full indexes are added.

MATHEMATICS.

WENTWORTH'S SERIES.

rpHE publishers only follow the declared sentiment of the educa-

tional public in believing that Wentworth's mathematics have

proved a remarkable and unqualified success." The most popular text-books issued within the last decade "

appears to be the verdict generally agreed upon.The secret of their excellence, as of genuine excellence and value

in everything, seems easily stated, even if not easily analyzed. All

the books give evidence not only of the expert mathematician, but

of the practical teacher. At every step both instructor and student

find their difficulties anticipated and their needs provided for.

The method aims to secure mastery of the subject, and to imparta skill that will be of far more practical service than mere com-

prehension of the principles. The illustrative problems are there-

fore as varied and ingenious as possible, besides being carefully

graded and supplied in ample quantity. Clearness, directness of

method, the elimination of all superfluous matter, and that economyof mental force which is nowadays so essential, are distinguishing

features, and the author's work is so thorough and finished in all

parts that the books are found to wear with the minimum of

friction, and remain long where they have been introduced.

According to the most accurate figures that could be obtained3

March 1, 1888, there were in the United States about 175 colleges

and 3000 schools which use either the Algebra, the Geometry, or the

Trigonometry. Probably, on the average, two of the books are to

be found in each of these institutions.

In addition to their general adoption in the United States,

Wentworth's Mathematics are known to be used in leading institu-

tions in Canada, Great Britain, Turkey, Syria, India, Japan, and

the Hawaiian Islands.

Teachers are invited to send for circulars giving a full descrir>

tion of this series.
