 PREFACE 
 
 In preparing the Classic Series of Interlinear Transla- 
 tions the publishers have insisted upon a faithful adher- 
 ence to two obvious essentials ; the reduction of the original 
 text to the natural order, and, as far as possible, a strictly 
 literal version. 
 
 In all cases, however, where the meaning as thus 
 literally rendered is not sufficiently intelligible, explanatory 
 words or phrases have been added. 
 
 It is hoped that the plan will be appreciated of insert- 
 ing all explanatory words and phrases, by means of brackets, 
 in immediate conjiiDCtion with JtbQ t^e^t^thus obviating the 
 annoyance and the seKbus loss* ot Ifrwi^that attend frequent 
 reference to notes |)yAiiimljef.e9.f garagraphs:in an appendix. 
 
 The superiority is readily apparent of the interlinear 
 over other translations, not only in the saving of time,but also 
 for all purposes of careful study ; making possible as well 
 as convenient and easy, a correct solution of idioms, a quick 
 insight into the sense, a facile and lucid re-arrangement of 
 the context in the English order, and a practical comparison 
 of both the similarities and the contrasts of construction.

 Dealing as we do exclusively in School and College 
 Books, we have discovered a wide demand from 
 Teachers and the Student Public for a series of dic-

 contents, authoritative while modem as regards 
 scholarship, instantly accessible in respect to arrange- 
 ment, of best quality as to typography and paper, and 
 in a l)inding at once elegant and durable. That the 
 volumes in this series are the best in all these respects^ 
 is attested by their adoption and continued use by 
 hundreds of the influential colleges and preparatory 
 schools of this country and Canada.

 fully. I am surprised that a book so complete and so well 
 made can be sold for the price. I shall speak a good word 
 for it to my pupils.

SmStlhi's New 
 
 Class Register. . 
 
 By an ingenious device the 
 pages are ^o arranged that the 
 overworked teacher can keep a 
 complete record for each pupil 
 for every day during a whole 
 quarter, also weekly and monthly 
 average (if desired), and yet have 
 to write the pupils' names only 
 once for the whole period. Plenty 
 of space for attendance, deport- 
 ment, scholarship, etc. Of con- 
 venient size to carry to and from 
 school in the pocket. 
 
 ONE OF MANY. 
 
 J. H. Blanchard, Su/i Schools, 
 WatervilU,Me, I consider Smith's 
 New Class Register the most con- 
 venient of any that I have ever 
 seen. It gives, at a single glance, 
 all the necessary data concerning 
 pupils' records. My teachers all 
 speak of it in the highest terms of 
 praise.

In the First Greek Lessons the authqr has drawn largely from 
 the Bible for illustrative sentences, so that after goin^ through the 
 Lessons the student will have little difficulty in reading the 
 New Testa?nent in the Greek.
