Hints and Cautions on Attic Greek Prose Composition, written by Francis St. John Thackeray and published in 1876, is a guidebook for students of ancient Greek who wish to improve their skills in writing prose. The book is designed to help students overcome common difficulties in composing Greek prose, such as choosing appropriate vocabulary, constructing sentences, and using idiomatic expressions. The guidebook is divided into two parts. The first part provides general advice on how to approach the task of composition, including tips on how to read and analyze Greek texts, how to organize ideas, and how to use reference works. The second part of the book focuses on specific aspects of Greek prose composition, such as the use of participles, the construction of complex sentences, and the use of rhetorical devices. Throughout the book, Thackeray emphasizes the importance of careful reading and attention to detail, as well as the need to develop a deep understanding of the Greek language and its literary traditions. The book includes numerous examples of Greek prose, both classical and contemporary, as well as exercises and practice passages for students to work on. Overall, Hints and Cautions on Attic Greek Prose Composition is a valuable resource for students of ancient Greek who are looking to improve their writing skills and gain a deeper understanding of the language and its literary traditions.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
