Excerpt from Passages for Practice in Translation at Sight, Vol. 4: GreekThe passages contained in the present volume are adapted to 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 improved since 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.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
