A compact and well-preserved 1828 school edition of Dr. Goldsmith’s History of Greece, adapted for classroom use by educator John Dymock. This stereotype edition was designed to make classical history more accessible to students, incorporating accent-marked Greek and Latin names to aid pronunciation and comprehension. Based on the work of Oliver Goldsmith, the volume condenses Greek history into a readable narrative suitable for early 19th-century education. Dymock’s appended exercises further enhance its utility as a learning tool, reflecting period methods of classical instruction. An appealing example in its original full speckled calf binding.
