PREFACE.

interlinear edition of the Anabasis of Xenophon has been carefully translated by the editor of the Latin and Greek series of interlinear classics. His plan is somewhat peculiar, being intermediate between the systems of Hamilton and Locke. The uncouth and frequently unintelligible sentences of Hamilton are avoided, while on the other hand the verbal and grammatical meanings are given with an accuracy fully equal to his, if not surpassing it. By this plan the sense of the text is also conveyed more precisely than is done either by the plan of Hamilton or that of Locke—every idiomatic and grammatical difficulty being completely overcome. THIS

The work will be found of great service to the student of the Greek language, as it removes many of the difficulties so perplexing in its study. The use of a few signs and characters, explained on another page, has, in a measure, enabled the author to accomplish what he has above set forth. THOMAS CLARK. (iii)
