Learn Greek with this classic Greek Prose Composition key by Arthur Sidwick. The key, in Classical Greek, can be used to check your work against the lessons presented in Sidgwick’s Greek Prose Composition.

In preparing this Key, I have attempted in the earlier exercises to be as literal as possible, in order to do more good to those learners to whom the versions are given as a model. This has been the easier to do, as they were written with a view to being so translated. In the later exercises, where the English is more thoroughly idiomatic, it is plainly neither desirable nor possible to be quite literal. I have ventured to add a very few notes at the end of the book, which perhaps may be of use to some teachers, though of course to many they will be superfluous. I am well aware that there must be many errors and oversights in 100 pages of Greek prose, written in the scanty leisure of a somewhat engrossing profession. I can only appeal to the kindness of those who may use the book to excuse such errors ; and I shall be most grateful to any one who will be kind enough to send me any criticisms that may occur to him in using it.
