Excerpt from Exercises on the Syntax of the Greek Language: To Which Are Subjoined, Exercises in Metaphrasis, Paraphrasis, Dialects, and Prosody From a strange misconception of the true mode 0 education, an edition of the Exercises made its appear ance in this country some years back, with a key actu ally annexed, and thus the good effects of a work which would otherwise have proved so useful an auxiliary to the student, became in an instant completely neutral ized. The consequence has been, that the Greek Ex croises of Dr. Neilson have gradually been disused and are, it is believed, retained at the present day by few of our preceptors. The peculiar and lasting ad vantages which result from the practice of Greek and Latin composition, in giving: closer and more accurate view of the grammatical forms of these languages, must be conceded by all; and it is therefore a subject 01 deep regret, that a most valuable branch of classical instruction should have been for a long time rendered so utterly unproductive.
