Abstract

en_US Preceded by Talks on the Natural Method. This is a curious book. First, I am surprised that I have not run into it before, because I have had my eye out for books that use Aesop to teach. This book does exactly that. At the core of the book, from 1 to 108, are 232 Attic prose fables. My first question is naturally From whom? and I do not find an answer here. Which edition might the author have followed? The fables are followed by notes and a Greek-English vocabulary. A surprising feature of the book comes just after the preface: a 64-page set of about fifteen Greek dialogues. They seem offhand to be expanded fables. Are these the Talks on the Natural Method? At any rate, the book confuses by thus having two different sets of pages 5 to 64. The lack of a T of C hurts at least this reader's efforts to understand what this book offers. I chuckle to read that in 1879 language teachers were enthusiastic about a new and natural method of learning languages. How many times over has this field of knowledge experienced that turn to the new and natural?
