[B-Greek] Mounce vs. Croy

Textkit includes free pdf versions of several Greek composition textbooks as
well as their answer keys. See http://www.textkit.com/greek_grammar.php.
North and Hillard seem to be keyed to Xenophon's Anabasis, so you'll have
lots of military vocabulary, and the exercises consist of individual
sentences. I don't know which texts Sidgwick has drawn his chosen vocabulary
from, but it seems significantly different from North and Hillard's--perhaps
there is more Herodotus in there? I'm not quite sure--and he focuses upon
writing short narratives or paragraphs rather than sentences.
