Praelections Delivered before the Senate of the University of Cambridge

Originally published in 1906, this volume gathers together the candidate praelections for the Regius Professorship of Greek at the University of Cambridge, given during January 1906 at the Senate House. Each candidate was required to provide a one-hour lecture on a passage of Ancient Greek assigned by the Electors of the post. A chapter is given to each candidate as follows: Henry Jackson on Plato, Cratylus, chapters 42–44; James Adam on Pindar, fragment, 131; A. W. Verrall on Aeschylus, Eumenides, 734–743; Walter Headlam on Aeschylus, Agamemnon, second Chorus; William Ridgeway on Aeschylus, Supplices, 304 sqq.
