Author Description

Excerpt from Questions Adapted to Mitford's History of Greece, to Which Are Appended a Chronological Synopsis of Events, Miscellaneous Questions Proposed at Examinations in the University of Cambridge, and a Compendious Table of the Principal Battles, Arranged And section of the History, will, it is hoped, enable them to ascertain by self-examination, with the greatest certainty and satisfaction, to what extent their reading may have proved effective, and on what points renewed diligence and consideration may be requisite. By those engaged in tuition also, it may be presumed, that the same body of Questions will be found in.some degree available, as a means of awa kening the intellect, quickening the observation, and estimating the proficiency of their pupils in this essential branch of classical learning. The Chronological Synopsis of Events consists of a collection and orderly arrangement of the dates dispersed throughout the work, aecom panied with notices of the corresponding events given as nearly as brevity would permit in the words of the Historian, with references, for the convenience of the reader, to the Volume and the page. Some Miscellaneous Questions have next been appended, selected from Papers pro posed at the Classical Examinations in the Uni versity of Cambridge, from which those who are awaiting similar trials may form a judgment of the research and accuracy which is expected.
