In
the
Exercises
(pp.
67-89),
a
few
words
are
printed
in
Italics,
to
show
that
they
are
to
be
omitted
in
the
Greek
;
a
few
are
inclosed
in
brackets
[
],
to
show
that
they
are
to
be
inserted
in
the

;
and
a
few
are

in

in

vil
arrangement
of
words;
and
their
position
depends,
in
no
small
degree,
upon
their
comparative
emphasis,
and
upon
the
effect
produced
on
the
ear.
In
general,
the
first
place
in
a
clause
is
the
most
emphatic,
and
the
last
place
the
next
so.
The
student
will
observe
carefully
the
special
precepts
upon
the
position
of
words,
which
he
finds
either
here
or
in
the
Grammar
;
and,
‘in
all
doubtful
cases,
will
be
wise
in
adhering
closely
to
the
order
of
his
models
in
the
Greek
text,

In
the
Vocabulary,
the
words
inclosed
in
parentheses
to
mark
derivation
or
composition
are
translated,
except
when
they
also
occur
in
the
alphabetical
arrangement
;
and
a
few
words
not
belonging
to
the
text
are
inserted
in
brackets
to
avoid
repeated
translation.
Some
English
words
derived
frgm
Greek
words,
or
cognate
with
them,
are
inserted
in
small
capitals,
chiefly
as
aids
to
the
memory.
The
gender
of
nouns
has
been
marked
in
the
usual
way,
except
when
general
rules
rendered
it
needless
(§§
74.
B,
75,
76).

Let
the
student,
amid
those
introductory
difficulties
and
toils
from
which
no
worthy
pursuit
is
wholly
exempt,
cheer
himself
with
the
assurance,
that
the
saying
of
old
Hesiod,
The
beginning
is
half
of
the
whole
work,
applies
to
nothing
with
greater
force
than
to
the
learning
of
a
language
;
nor
let
him
forget
that
other
proverb,

Your
Suture
course
will
be
pros-
perous,
if
your
present
work
be
well
done.
Especially,
let
him
bear
in
mind,
that
he
is
studying
the
language
which
has
been
the
most
celebrated
of
all
for
beauty
and
perfection
of
structure
;
—
the
lan-
guage
in
which
are
enshrined,
as
jewels
in
a
casket
of
gold,
the
most
wonderful
monuments
of
ancient
genius,
and
the
priceless
treasures
of
the
Christian
revelation
;
—
the
language
in
which
Homer
sung,
Socrates
conversed,
Demosthenes
harangued,
Paul
wrote,
and,
highest
honor
of
all,
the
words
of
Him
who
spake
as
never
man
spake
were
recorded.
