GRAMMAR SCHOOL CLASSICS;

A SERIES OF GREEK AND LATIN AUTHORS, NEWLY EDITED, WITH ENGLISH NOTES.

THE ANABASIS OF XENOPHON, based upon the Text of BORNEMANN: with Introduction, Geographical and other Notes, Itinerary, and Three Maps compiled from Recent Surveys and other Authentic Documents. By the Rev. J. F. MACMICHAEL, B.A., Trinity College, Cambridge, Head Master of the Grammar School, Ripon. New Edition, revised, price 5s., cloth.

"No source has been neglected or overlooked from which light can be obtained; and the book will be found equally instructive to young teachers as to students. We have examined the notes in various parts of the book, and have throughout found them precise and accurate. We can confidently recommend Mr. Macmichael's edition of the Anabasis as the best school edition that exists in the English language, and we feel certain that it will satisfy every reasonable demand that can be made."-Classical Museum.

M. TULLII CICERONIS CATO MAJOR SIVE DE SENECTUTE, LAELIUS SIVE DE AMICITIA, ET EPISTOLAE SELECTAE. With English Notes and an Index. By GEORGE LONG, Esq., M.A. Price 48. 6d. cloth.

"Every page affords examples of accurate knowledge aptly applied, and proves that the editor was thinking about what the reader would be most likely to need, not about how he could display his own learning. Above all, Mr. Long has been careful to make his notes subordinate to what ought to be the chief object in studying any book-the perfect comprehension of the author's meaning, without which it is manifest that a correct knowledge of the signification of individual words or phrases is impossible."-English Journal of Education.

"The notes are brief, clear, and instructive; the selections judiciously made; the text carefully revised, and admirably punctuated; and the entire volume is one which the schoolboy will find invaluable, and from which even the advanced scholar may learn something."-Weekly News,

J. CAESARIS COMMENTARII DE BELLO GALLICO. With Notes, Preface, Introduction, &c. By GEORGE LONG, Esq., M.A. Price 5s. 6d. cloth.

"Mr. Long's name stands deservedly so high, that those who feel any inte rest in a work like this will need nothing more than the above brief announcement to assure them that we are likely to have here an edition of Cæsar surpassing and superseding any one that has previously appeared in this country. Mr. Long's connection with the work is something more than nominal. It is a bona fide production of his hand-not a mere make-up from foreign and other sources, labelled with his name. From first to last it bears

the impress of his vigorous and well-stored mind. We scarcely know which more to admire, the ability with which important matters are handled, or the honest pains-taking care which has been bestowed on the minutest points,points which, though essential to accuracy, many an editor would consider beneath his notice. In the preparation of the text, Mr. Long-without compromising his own independence of mind-has availed himself of the labours of Schneider, Elberling, Herzog, Oudendorp, Clarke, Oberlin, and others. The preface contains some judicious remarks on Cæsar and his Commentaries. It is followed by an introduction intended to give to both teachers and students correct ideas of the physical character and previous history of Gallia. The notes are all that could be desired; containing valuable critical observations on various readings, explanations of difficulties, an abundance of grammatical information, illustrations from other authors, and whatever geographical, historical, and archæological knowledge is necessary for the complete elucidation of the text. And, what is often wanting in such works, there is a vein of strong sense-the very reverse of twaddling pedantry-running through the whole, and displaying itself in the manly simplicity and force of the style. The healthy moral tone in which Mr. Long writes-his freedom from every approach to affectation, and his frank confession of difficulty-are calculated to confer scarcely less benefit on the youthful reader than the vast amount of knowledge contained in these pages.' -Athenæum.

QUINTI HORATII FLACCI OPERA OMNIA.

With English Notes, by the Rev. A. J. MACLEANE, M.A., Head Master of King Edward's School, Bath. Price 68. 6d. cloth.

"An abridged or rather a recast edition of Mr. Macleane's larger edition of Horace. This volume is designed for schools, and contains the broadest features of the previous edition, intended for deeper and more refined study than schoolboys will or perhaps can give. So far as regards the object of the poet, the scope of particular pieces, or the explanation of particular passages, this cheaper edition leaves nothing to be desired, as respects the understanding of Horace."-Spectator, Sept. 10, 1853.

XENOPHONTIS

CYROPÆDIA.

With English Notes,

by the Rev. G. M. Gorham, Fellow of Trin. Coll., Camb. Preparing. P. OVIDII NASONIS FASTORUM LIBRI SEX. With English Notes. By F. A. PALEY, Editor of "ÆSCHYLUS" and "PROPERTIUS." Price 58. cloth.

"An excellent edition, founded on that of Merkel, though the editor has also availed himself of Gierig's and Keightley's. There is a good supply of Notes, which abound in critical, explanatory, and illustrative observations of a very superior cast. Mr. Paley has a strong opinion of the importance of Latin, and his mode of editing the Classical works in that language is well calculated to promote the study of it."-Athenæum.

THE NEW TESTAMENT IN GREEK; based on the Text of SCHOLZ. With English Notes and Prefaces; a Synopsis of the Four Gospels; and Chronological Tables, illustrating the Gospel Narrative. Edited by the Rev. J. F. MACMICHAEL, B.A. Uniform with the "Grammar School Classics." 730 pages. Price 78. 6d.cloth. "The text of Scholz has been generally followed, and great care has been taken to avoid typographical errors. It is a nicely printed volume. The Notes and Prefaces in English are short, and almost entirely exegetical. Controverted passages are, for the most part, left alone, but a great deal of real help is afforded towards the reading of the New Testament."-Guardian

AN ATLAS OF CLASSICAL GEOGRAPHY, containing 22 Maps, Engraved by W. HUGHES. Edited by GEORGE LONG. With an Index. Imperial 8vo., half-bound, price 12s. 6d.

"In the preface to his edition of Cæsar, Mr. Long has exhibited so complete a mastery of the geography of his subject, that, on reading his author, we always wished for his own map of the scene of operations, and our wish has now been gratified by the present publication, which, amongst others, contains of course a map of Ancient Gaul. We will not pretend that we have diligently examined every map; but we have examined quite enough to be fully justified in declaring these maps what we are conscientiously persuaded of their being-the very best of the sort that have been published in England. They are also beautifully executed, and published at a moderate price for so elaborate a work. We very earnestly recommend this book of maps to every student who desires to study ancient literature with full advantage." -Standard.

A GRAMMAR SCHOOL ATLAS, adapted for Junior Boys, containing 10 Maps, selected from the above. Price 58.

THE WORKS OF VIRGIL, closely rendered into English Rhythm, and illustrated from British Poets of the 16th, 17th, and 18th centuries. By the Rev. ROBERT CORBET SINGLETON, M.A., Late Warden of St. Peter's College, Radley. In Two Volumes. Vol. I., just published, price 98.

"For the scholastic uses, designed by Mr. Singleton, his translation is well adapted. Masters and tutors will find it useful for reference, and as a groundwork for their comments and prelections. To the general reader the most acceptable part of the book will be found in the illustrative extracts of the English poets. There are in the first volume about ninety quotations from Shakspeare, and above a hundred from Spenser and many others, from Chaucer down to Thomson."-Literary Gazette.

SABRINAE COROLLA: a Volume of Classical Translations and Original Compositions, contributed by Gentlemen educated at Shrewsbury School. With Nine Illustrations. 8vo., cloth, 158. Also handsomely bound in various styles.

"We cannot close this article without congratulations to the lovers of Latin scholarship on the publication of that elegant and tasteful volume, the 'Sabrinae Corolla.' It has happily been the means of calling forth from privacy many of Dr. Kennedy's effusions, a scholar in competition with whom no contemporary, we believe, will presume to enter the lists of classical composition. We cannot, within our limited space, attempt to do justice to the manifold beauties of his style and his extraordinary command utriusque linguæ."-Blackwood's Magazine, November.

SELECTIONS FROM OVID: Amores, Tristia, Heroides, Metamorphoses; with Prefatory Remarks. 12mo., 28. 6d. cloth.

This Selection is intended to afford an introduction, at once easy and unobjectionable, to a knowledge of the Latin language, after a boy has become well acquainted with the declension of nouns and pronouns, and the ordinary forms of verbs.

SELECTIONS FROM HERRICK, for Translation into Latin Verse, with a short Preface. By the Rev. A. J. MACLEANE, M.A., Trinity College, Cambridge. 12mo., 2s. 6d., cloth.

"The design of the compiler of this collection apparently is, to suggest modes of thought, and to supply the means of legitimate appropriation of ideas, to young students of Latin Verse composition. Of all our English poets there is, perhaps, no one whose poetry is so much imbued with the spirit of Horace and his contemporaries as Herrick. This is a judicious selection of the pieces best suited for the purpose in view, and it is prefaced with some remarks of a general nature on versification, well calculated to assist in forming the taste and style of a learner."-English Journal of Education.

FLORILEGIUM POETICUM ANGLICANUM;

or, Selections from English Poetry, for the use of Classical Schools, 12mo., price 38. 6d. cloth.

"The appearance of this volume is owing to the want, which has been often and vexatiously felt, of some collection of Classical English Poetry which might furnish the younger boys of our Grammar Schools with subjects for repetition, and the elder ones with materials for translation into Latin and Greek verse."-Preface.
