Excerpt from Epitome of Greek and Roman Mythology: With Explanatory Notes and a VocabularyIt is recommended, accordingly, that the student, after having gone through the book as an exercise in translation and grammar, should then study it as he would study history, or any book of that kind: that is, that he should prepare himself to answer questions in regard to the facts stated in the several chapters. To facilitate an exercise of this kind, questions have been placed at the bottom of the page. Notes, explanatory of poetical and historical allusions, and of grammatical forms and idioms, are also given, but are put by themselves, at the end of the volume. This method has been found better to subserve the business of instruction, than to insert the notes at the bottom of each page and im mediately adjacent to the text. In preparing the voca bulary, much care has been bestowed upon the deriva tion of the words, as well as upon the meaning, and both have been given in a form that, it is believed, will be striking to the eye and easy of reference. The quantity of the vowels has been carefully marked both in the text and in the vocabulary. Also, in the English translation of the proper names, the accented syllable has been marked. The tables of grammatical forms, in the beginning of the book, it is believed, will be a valuable aid in parsing.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
