Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Greek Prose Composition Part I contains, in graded lessons, the principal points of Greek syntax, the unusual and non-essential being purposely omitted. These lessons are designed for use at the beginning of the second year's study of Greek, thereby serving as a partial review of the first year's work and as an introduction to the composition work in connection with the reading of Xenophon's Anabasis. Part II contains short, simple English sentences, based on Books I - IV of the Anabasis. These should be used daily in connection with the reading of the text. Part III contains connected English prose, based on Books I - IV of the Anabasis. This is carefully graded, so that the stu dent who performs faithfully the work outlined here will be able to pass the entrance examination of any of the American colleges. The method of writing Greek at sight used in this book needs a word of explanation. It is the outgrowth of the author's personal experience in the classroom, and his belief that the best results can be obtained only by systematic practice in connection with the regular work.

Download or read book Brave Genius written by Sean B. Carroll and published by Crown. This book was released on 2014-09-23 with total page 594 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The never-before-told account of the intersection of some of the most insightful minds of the 20th century, and a fascinating look at how war, resistance, and friendship can catalyze genius. In the spring of 1940, the aspiring but unknown writer Albert Camus and budding scientist Jacques Monod were quietly pursuing ordinary, separate lives in Paris. After the German invasion and occupation of France, each joined the Resistance to help liberate the country from the Nazis and ascended to prominent, dangerous roles. After the war and through twists of circumstance, they became friends, and through their passionate determination and rare talent they emerged as leading voices of modern literature and biology, each receiving the Nobel Prize in their respective fields. Drawing upon a wealth of previously unpublished and unknown material gathered over several years of research, Brave Genius tells the story of how each man endured the most terrible episode of the twentieth century and then blossomed into extraordinarily creative and engaged individuals. It is a story of the transformation of ordinary lives into exceptional lives by extraordinary events--of courage in the face of overwhelming adversity, the flowering of creative genius, deep friendship, and of profound concern for and insight into the human condition.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Dr. Pick's Method Applied to Acquiring the French Language Strong ideas expel weaker ones from the mind. This) is shown in the fact that if one thing attracts our atten tion all other ideas disappear from the mind, because they have been expelled from it by a stronger idea. Strong ideas do not even admit weaker ones to the mind, ' they repel them. This is shown in the fact that if one thing preoccupies us, we neither hear nor see anything going on around us, though our ears and eyes are in the same condition as they were before. Whatever tries to come into'the mind is immediately repelled by the strong ideas present. But ideas of equal strength will blend together. This blending of two ideas of equal strength is called association of ideas. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book English Into French written by D. N. Samson and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-04 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from English Into French: Five Thousand English Locutions, Rendered Into Idiomatic French It would be interesting to know, if it were possible to discover, how many of the 'uncensussed' thousands of English-speaking men and women throughout the world who can read French with pleasure and with ease, can speak and write idiomatic French with fluency and correctness. The reasonable presumption is that the number is relatively small. It would be extraordinary if it were otherwise. For it is given to very few of us to live long enough in France to make of French a second language as every educated foreigner makes of France a second country, or to be able to devote to the study of French sufficient time to master the difficulties, the intricacies, and the genius ot the language, ith the aid of the imperfect instruments available for the purpose. Bearing in mind the fundamental fact that English-speaking people think in English, and confining attention solely to the speaking and writing by them of idiomatic French, it must be said that existing English-French dictionaries, i. e. dictionaries in which English is the first language, as opposed to French-English dictionaries, in which French comes first, are of little use. In saying this, there is not the slightest intention to derogate from the merits of those works, whatever their merits may be. All that is meant is, that if judged by their size, they are inadequate; if judged by their economy, they stand condemned. It is needless to say that this condemnation does not and cannot apply to the disposition of single words in the nomenclature. They are arranged in strictly alphabetical order, like the single words in any other dictionaries, whether bilingual or unilingual. The remark applies therefore to locutions and to locutions alone, the word 'locution' being used in the sense of a chain of words having the force of a single word, or, by extension, expressiug a complete idea. And here lies all the trouble. Open an English-French dictionary in search of the French equivalent of an English locution, you are at once faced with the problem of deciding under which word to look for the desired locution.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A French Grammar: Containing, Besides the Rules of the Language, a Complete Treatise on Prepositions Since so many men of talent and experience have presented to the public the results of their labors in numerous volumes for the assistance of foreigners in the study of the French Language, it would seem that a teacher ought to be able to select from among these a sure guide for his pupils. It might be pre sumed that we had all the means that could be of any use to the student in the acquisition of the lan guage, and that ambition only, -and the vain desire of introducing one's name to the public, could in duce any one to attempt anew publication on the subject. But, unfortunately, such is not the case; new efforts are necessary to assist teachers and pupils, more especially because so many Englishmen and Americans are undertaking to teach a language which is not their own. A work is required which shall enter into a thorough investigation of the prin ciples of our language, and enable the student to understand and appreciate fully its genius and its beauties.

The thought of having saddened the old age of that tender and religious parent who had borne him in her womb, overwhelmed him with confusion; the tears gushed from his eyes, and the Christian sentiments in which he had been educated returned under the impulses of a generous and affectionate heart: I wept and I believed. But the trouble which harassed his mind did not entirely vanish, until he had formed the plan of redeeming his first publications by the consecration of his splendid abilities to the honor of religion.
