SynopsisExcerpt from A Homeric Dictionary: For Use in Schools and Colleges It was the test of actual use which suggested to the editor the idea of translating this book. With it in his hand he read, first the Odyssey, then the Iliad. Tried by this test, it seemed to com bine so many excellences that the wish arose in his mind that the work might be made generally accessible to students in America and in England. From the time when he decided to undertake the translation to the present date he has been in frequent corre spondence with the author, calling his attention to articles which seemed obscure, and receiving from him the corrections and changes which have been incorporated into the second German edition. The number of additions made by the editor himself is considerable, and many articles have been entirely rewritten, as a comparison of the present with the German edition will show.

A certain baldness and inadequateness in the treatment of many words must, indeed, be a characteristic of such a dictionary. The test of the book, however, is its practi cal adaptation to the ends it is intended to serve. The writer's own experience has led him to believe that it is well adapted to meet the wants 'of the young student, as well as to be a com panion in the reading of those professional men who have un willingly let their acquaintance with Homer drop because of the inconvenience of carrying with them on a journey or to the sea shore a cumbrous lexicon. It is his earnest hope that this book - se attractive in form, and procurable at so low a price - will render possible, alike in our secondary schools and in our col leges, the reading of a considerably larger portion of Homer than has heretofore been attempted. The following suggestions as to the use of the book may be found serviceable. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
