Excerpt from The First Six Books of Homer's Iliad: With Explanatory Notes, Intended for Beginners in the Epic Dialect Tms work was undertaken at the suggestion and request of several eminent teachers in different parts of the country. It is on the same general plan with the First Three Books of the Anabasis of Xenophon, published some years ago. The wants of beginners in the Epic dialect have been kept constantly in view.
