To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
When Eliz- abeth was Queen of England the languages were an essential element of a lady's educa- tion. The daughters of Sir Anthony Cooke, to whom was committed the instruction of the young Edward VI., were thoroughly trained in both ancient and modern languages, and in the literatures of many lands and ages. One of those gifted women wrote Latin verses of great beauty ; another was, according to Roger Ascham, one of the best Greek schol- ars of the age, with the single exception of Lady Jane G...rey ; still another was an accom- plished theologian who corresponded in Greek with Bishop Jewell. The distinguished Reiske affixed his wife's portrait to his ex- cellent and famous edition of "The Greek Orators." And in the preface to that work he acknowledged his great indebtedness to her learning and industry. So well acquainted was she with the language and literature of ancient Greece, that she shared with her hus- band his most profound investigations, and read for him, correcting as she read, the proof-sheets of his book as they came &om the press.
