J. O. Notestein, Prof. of Latin, Wooster University, Wooster, O.: I am pleased with the changes and additions. . . . I think the new Grammar decidedly the best manual we have for Latin study. The new edition will be used with our next Freshman class. (Feb., 1889.)

D. Y. Comstock, Teacher of Latin, | make as perfect a book as possible, Phillips Academy, Andover, Mass.: has been realized fully. Allen and Greenough's Latin Gram- (Feb. 4, 1889.) mar has, in my opinion, now attained a degree of excellence which not only places it in the front rank of manuals in this department intended for the practical use of students, but makes it facile princeps among its rivals. I observe many very marked improvements; the form of statement employed in the presentation of general principles, the increased number of examples (all good), the fuller treatment in many departments, all these points mark a distinct advance and give a new worth to the book. We shall continue to use it in the academy. (Feb. 13, 1889.)

F. W. Tilton, Prin. of High School, Newport, R.I.: I have known the value of the older edition, and this is in many respects an improvement even upon that. Another very important feature of the book is the clearness with which the principles are stated. (Jan. 24, 1889.)

A. G. Hopkins, Prof. of Latin, Hamilton College, Clinton, N.Y.: In its previous form I found it a most valuable book; but the new Grammar is a marked advance. In mechanical execution, in clearness and fulness, I do not see that it leaves anything to be desired. (Jan. 21, 1889.)

A. E. Colgrove, Prof. of Latin, Allegheny College, Meadville, Pa.: It is as near perfect as such a book can be. So far as my observation reaches, it is the most attractive Latin Grammar published. (Jan. 12. 1889.)

C. L. Baker, Prof. of Latin, St. Lawrence University, Canton, N. Y.: I most heartily agree that every change made in the book has been an improvement, and think the aim of the editors and publishers, viz., to

J. H. Kirkland, Prof. of Latin, Vanderbilt University, Nashville, Tenn.: So far as my examination has extended, I have been highly delighted with it, and have found it a decided advance over the old edition. The authors have succeeded in mak

ing a work at once full enough for all college purposes, and yet so lucid in expression and simple in arrangement that even the beginner may read and understand. (Jan. 29, 1889.)

J. L. Lampson, Prof. of Latin, State Normal College, Nashville, Tenn. I like the new book very much. I am sure it will be the school Latin Grammar. (Feb. 8, 1889.)

Walter Miller, Asst. Prof.of Latin, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Mich.: It seems to be a most admirable piece of work now. (Jan. 29, 1889.)

J. G. Pattengill, Prin. of High School, Ann Arbor, Mich.: It seems to me that the revision has been thoroughly done, and that every change has been a real improvement and not simply a change.

J. D. Crawford, Prof. of Ancient Languages, University of Illinois, Champaign, Ill.: I counted the former edition the best Latin Grammar, and this new edition has many excellences not found in the old. I congratulate you on the perfection of the whole work. (Jan. 12, 1889.)

The Beginner's Latin Book.

Complete with Grammar, Exercises, Selections for Translation, and Vocabulary.

By WM. C. COLLAR, A.M., Head Master Roxbury Latin School, and M. GRANT DANIELL, A.M., Principal Chauncy-Hall School, Boston. 12mo. Cloth. xii + 283 pages. Mailing Price, $1.10; for Introduction, $1.00. Allowance for an old book in exchange, 35 cents.

THE aim of this book is to serve as a preparation for reading, writing, and (to a less degree) for speaking Latin, and to effect this object by grounding the learner thoroughly in the elements through abundant and varied exercises on the forms and more important constructions of the language.

The idea determining and controlling the plan is the maximum of practice with the minimum of theory, on the principle that the thorough acquisition of the elements of Latin by the young learner must be more art than science, more the work of observation, comparison, and imitation, than the mechanical following of rules, or the exercise of analysis and conscious inductive reasoning.

An effort has been made, while following a rigorously scientific method in the development of the successive subjects, to impart something of attractiveness, interest, freshness, and variety to the study of the elements of Latin. Means to this end are the colloquia (simple Latin Dialogues), the choice of extracts for translation, introduced as early as possible, and the mode of treatment in every part, extending even to the choice of Latin words and to the construction of the exercises.

This book can be completed and reviewed by the average learner in a year, and may be followed by any Latin Reader, by Viri Romae, or by Nepos or Cæsar.

It supplies, by means of the Colloquia and Glossarium Grammaticum, precisely the kind of help that teachers need who desire to make some practical use of Latin in oral teaching.

Over two-thirds of the words used belong to the vocabulary of Cæsar's Gallic War; little less than two-thirds to the vocabulary of Nepos.

The book is pronounced a well-nigh perfect combination of scholarship and teachableness. Only a very few testimonials are presented here.

THIS is an introductory Latin book, suitable for those who begin
at an early age and with an imperfect knowledge of English.
It opens with a short and easy review of English grammar. In
the lessons, the changes in the forms, uses, and relations of words
are explained and illustrated, so far as is practicable, from English.
Special attention is given to order and arrangement. The sim-
ple verb-forms, which are easier than nouns, and open the way
a wide range of expression, are presented first. Sentences are given
from the start, with both questions and answers, in natural and
easy succession.

The vocabulary and the examples to illustrate the rules of Syntax are mostly drawn from the first book of Cæsar.

Exercises for sight-reading are introduced early in the course.

Charles Fish, Prin. of High School, Brunswick, Me.: In my judgment it is an admirable book for the first year in Latin, and ought to have a wide circulation. (March 29, 1886.)

Six Weeks' Preparation for Reading Cæsar.

A New Edition. Designed to accompany a Grammar, and to prepare pupils for reading at sight. Adapted to Allen & Greenough's, Gildersleeve's, and Harkness' Grammars. By JAMES M. WHITON, formerly Principal of Williston Seminary. 18mo. Cloth. 107 pages. Mailing Price, 45 cents; Introduction, 40 cents. Allowance for old book, 15 cents. THE special object pursued is that early familiarity with the

inflections and common concords of the Latin, which is at the foundation of all accurate scholarship. Everything for which a grammar needs to be consulted, except the paradigms, is put before eye in connection with the lesson. The method is based upon a long and successful experience.
