This revised edition adds concise sections on grammar that will be of immense aid to the student who has not previously learned Latin grammar. With a judicious hand Wright has removed some extraneous commentary on the Iliad, but the essence of Pharr’s text–which has stood the test of time–has been left untouched.Pharr explains in his eloquent introduction why the ideal approach to the language is with Homer rather than with the writers of Attic Greek. The Homeric method has, indeed, met with remarkable success; Wright’s newly revised text will undoubtedly spark fresh enthusiasm in both students and professors of Greek.While this book contains more than the first-year student could easily master, it does not attempt to catalog “every stray Homeric form…. Its first object is to teach beginners to read Greek intelligently and with pleasure.”

    The author analyzes the theology and function of the three divisions of the Hebrew Bible: Torah, Prophets, and Writings.

    This time he's been to Boston to see The Hub of the Universe through quiet and observant eyes: to look at the Common and the Athenaeum; to walk east and west on Beacon Street; to look at Boston noses, Boston ears, and even Boston ghosts.Chiang Yee, distinguished Chinese author, artist and poet combines his talents in this delightful new view of an old city, filed with unexpected and unsuspected pleasures. As in his previous books, The Silent traveller presents a city which is both fresh and familiar. The reader who knows all about Boston will discover new charms as he walks with Chiange Yee. The reader who knows all about Boston will discover new charms as he walks with Chiang Yee. The reader who knows only a little about Boston will find The Silent Traveller an urbane guide with a warm regard for the traditional and a refreshing interest in the human side of the city's past and present.Again Mr. Chiang achieves a remarkable fusion of text and illustration, symbolized by his twenty Chinese poems, which are themselves both text and illustration. The glory of the book, however, lies in its sixteen magnificent full color paintings, supplemented by sixty black and white drawings which further enhance the beauty of the book.
