Excerpt from The Iliad of Homer, Books I-Vi: With an Introduction and Notes In the judgment of the editor, the thorough acquisition by the pupil of all the introductory matter just referred to Intro duction, Essay on Scanning, Sketch of Dialect (excepting perhaps the latter sections) - should be insisted upon.
