186 The teacher would add to it from another grammar book whatever was needed. When I left the house of the priests, I studied another grammar book with Monsieur Chevalier, and with another teacher, I studied two grammar books. In both houses, meaning the house of the priests and the teacher's house, I worked on grammatical parsing and logical parsing, meaning applying speech to the rules of grammar and logic, and on spelling and composition and reading. I continued this for three years. (History) We began in the house of the priests, when we were together, with the book "Lives of the Greek Philosophers." We read it and completed it. Then we began a general, concise history book that included the lives of the ancient Egyptians, Iraqis, Syrians, Greeks, ancient Persians, Romans, and Indians. At the end, there was a brief section on mythology, meaning the study of Greek paganism and their myths. Then, with Monsieur Chevalier, I read a book called "The Delights of History," which contained stories, tales, and anecdotes. After that, I read a book called "The Lives of Nations, Their Customs, and Their Manners." Then "The History of the Cause of the Greatness of the Roman Empire and its Expansion." Then the book "The Journey of Xenophon the Younger to the Lands of Greece." Then I read Savary's book on general history, then the biography of Thucydides, then a book on the science of histories and genealogies, then a book called "Panorama of the World," meaning "The Mirror of the World," then a journey described by some travelers in the lands of the Ottoman Empire, then a journey in the lands of Algeria. Arithmetic and Geometry In arithmetic, I read Buzot's book, and in geometry, the first four articles of Legendre's book.
