This review is from: Sidgwick's Greek Prose Composition (Focus Classical Reprints) (Paperback)
This is the traditional prose composition text. This is how my professors learned, and how their professors learned, and their professors learned, etc. That's fine, but it doesn't mean this is the best prose comp text. Today's American student has to translate Sidgwick's 19th cent English into modern English before even attempting to translate anything into Greek. The "notes" are poorly organized and difficult to understand, the grammar terms are outdated, and frequently it is more frustrating to understand Sidgwick's own prose than any of the Greek. What are very useful, however, are his tables of particles and prepositions at the end, as well as the English-Greek glossary.
