PREFACE

In preparing the Classic Series of Interlinear Transla-

tions the publishers have insisted upon a faithful adher-

ence to two obvious essentials ;the reduction of the original

text to the natural order, and, as far as possible, a strictly

literal version.

In all cases, however, where the meaning as thus

literally rendered is not sufficiently intelligible, explanatory

words or phrases have been added.

It is hoped that the plan will be appreciated of insert-

ing all explanatory words and phrases, by means of brackets,

in immediate conjiiDCtion with JtbQ t^e^t^thus obviating the

annoyance and the seKbus loss* ot Ifrwi^that attend frequent

reference to notes |)yAiiimljef.e9.f garagraphs:in an appendix.

The superiority is readily apparent of the interlinear

over other translations, not only in the saving oftime,but also

for all purposes of careful study ; making possible as well

as convenient and easy, a correct solution of idioms, a quick

insight into the sense, a facile and lucid re-arrangement of

the context in the English order, and a practical comparison

of both the similarities and the contrasts of construction.
