F. LEIGHTON, former Master of Melrose High School. Revised Edition. 12mo. Half morocco. 352 pages This work presents a progressive series of exercises (both Latin and English) in about eighty Lessons, illustrating the grammatical forms and the simpler principles of syntax. Synonymes and Rules of Quantity are introduced from the first. The amount of illustrative matter in exercises for reading and writing or oral practice is very large, including portions of VIRI ROME, and Woodford's Epitome of the First Book of Cæsar. Full Vocabularies (prepared by R. F. PENNELL) accompany the book, with questions for examination and review of the grammar. The Lessons have been entirely rewritten, considerably simplified, and more carefully graded. With each lesson, definite directions have been given in regard to the amount of the grammar to be learned. By decreasing the exercises to be translated into English, space has been given to increase correspondingly the amount to be put into Latin. Some instruction on the formation of words has been given, and the references to the grammar on that subject largely increased. The vocabularies have also been carefully revised.

The Latin words and phrases are in all cases followed by the name of some standard Latin writer, as a guaranty of their authority; and as the work is of a strictly elementary character, the conjugation of the verbs and the genders and genitive cases of the substantives are uniformly added. In the preparation of this portion of the book, DR. WHITE has had the assistance of some of the best scholars both of Oxford and Cambridge."- Guardian.

The volumes of this series have undergone constant revision in the class-room; and all corrections or improvements suggested by experience have been and will continue to be introduced in the successive editions. A. Elementary Course. By J. H. ALLEN and J. B. Greenough. 1. LATIN GRAMMAR: a Latin Grammar for schools and colleges, founded on Comparative Grammar. pp. 274 (including supplementary Outlines of Syntax, with new and greatly enlarged Index). $1.25 $1.56 The features of this grammar to which we invite attention, are: 1. The scientific form of statement in the Etymology, corresponding to the most advanced views of comparative philologists; 2. The comparison with kindred languages suggested throughout, especially in numerous brief philological notes, and in references to the syntax of Goodwin's Greek Grammar; 3. Grouping and subordination of topics in the Syntax,-which contains nearly 200 cross-references, with upwards of 1,000 citations from classic authors, so that unusual brevity is attained without sacrifice of completeness. The arrangement of Sections is throughout by general topics rather than minuter subdivisions; the sub-sections in larger type containing of themselves a sufficient outline of grammar for elementary study, while the details in smaller type are designed to be studied only as they occur in reading or composition. Several portions -as of the sections on the Alphabet, Inflection, Verb-Forms, and Derivation of Words are not designed for school study, but are prepared with a view to lay a foundation for the later scientific study of Philology, through suggestions by the teacher. 2. LATIN METHOD: a Method of Instruction in Latin; being a companion and guide in the study of Latin Grammar. With elementary instruction in Reading at Sight, Exercises in Translation and Writing, Notes, and Vocabularies; also "Outlines of Syntax," taken from the Latin Grammar. By the authors of the Grammar. .80 3. NEW LATIN METHOD: A Manual of Instruction in Latin, prepared on the basis of the above, by J. H. ALLEN. 244 pages. 1.20 The design of the MANUAL is "to provide a full year's course in Latin which can be studied without the grammar." It includes: 1. Thirty ELEMENTARY LESSONS on the forms of the language, and the constructions suggested by the definitions of cases, moods, &c., accompanied by full Paradigms and a course of Parallel Exercises in Latin and English, with partial vocabularies. This portion of the book can be used independent of the Grammar; and, with the easier lessons in reading, may be sufficient for a year's study. — 2.

Exercises in Translation. By the authors of the Grammar $1.20 $1.50 Part First (which is published separately) consists of thirty progressive Lessons, with full instructions, exercises, and vocabulary; and is designed "to furnish a sufficient amount of study and practice in Latin composition during the last year of preparation for college, or the first of a college course." Part Second consists of about forty exercises in translation, chiefly narrative, adapted to the use of advanced or college classes; with annotated references to the Lessons of Part I., and to the sections of a special Introduction on the Choice of Words, the Form of the Sentence, and Idiomatic Usages. The special feature of the "Composition" is, that its instructions are given throughout from the English point of view. The "Constructions of Syntax" are not a reproduction of the Latin Grammar, with illustrations from Latin authors to be retranslated to the original form, but are an attempt to meet the question, How may good common English be best expressed in Latin? The Exercises, with very few exceptions, are taken wholly from English authors; and, after the first few lessons, consist chiefly of "continuous paragraphs or narratives, which, we believe, are not only more interesting in themselves, but will be found easier in practice than detached sentences, besides the advantage of exhibiting the rarer constructions in situ, and not as mere isolated puzzles." B. Classical Course. Edited by J. H. and W. F. ALLEN, and J. B. GREEnough. This series has been prepared especially to meet the present conditions for admission to Harvard College (see Catalogue).

With Historical 1.20 1.50 1.00 1.25 The text of this edition is that of Nipperdey, important variations being noticed. The notes are unusually full in historical illustration, derived largely from Mommsen, Long, Merivale, the "History of Julius Cæsar" by Napoleon III., and the excellent school edition of Moberly. In the earlier portions they are especially designed to guide in a systematic and careful study of Latin syntax. 2. SALLUST: The Conspiracy of Catiline as related by Sallust. With Introduction and Notes explanatory and historical. pp. 84 .80 1.00 3. CICERO: Select Orations of Cicero, chronologically arranged, covering the entire period of his public life.

With this view, the selection includes the earliest and the latest of his public orations, while the special Introductions cover very fully the intervening political history. Besides the orations more commonly read in schools, are given the Roscius and Sestius (abridged), with the first against Verres and the last Philippic,- - thirteen in all, with one or two short passages of special celebrity, for practice in reading at sight. Especial care has been taken in the department of Antiquities, which has been treated in numerous notes (in smaller type), some of themas that on the Roman Aristocracy-being brief essays on the several topics. The Introduction contains a classified list of all the works of Cicero, with the occasions and topics of all of his orations. 4. CATO MAJOR: Cicero De Senectute, a Dialogue on Old Age.

The following are published in single volumes: - Course No. I. A Full Preparatory Course of Latin Prose; consisting of Four Books of Cæsar's Gallic War, Sallust's Conspiracy of Catiline, Eight Orations of Cicero, and DE SENECTUTE (Cato Major) 2.00 Course No. II.
