THE BACCHAE OF EURIPIDES.

II

with Introduction, Critical Notes, and Archæological Illustrations, by J. E. SANDYS, M.A., Fellow and Tutor of St John's College, Cambridge, and Public Orator. Crown 8vo cloth.

"Of the present edition of the Baccha by Mr Sandys we may safely say that never before has a Greek play, in England at least, had fuller justice done to its criticism, interpretation, and archæological il-. lustration, whether for the young student or the more advanced scholar. The Cambridge Public Orator may be said to have taken the lead in issuing a complete edition of a Greek play, which is destined perhaps to gain redoubled favour now that the study of ancient monuments has been applied to its illustration." Saturday Review.

"Mr Sandys has done well by his poet and by his University. He has given a most welcome gift to scholars both at home and abroad. The illustrations are aptly chosen and delicately executed, and the apparatus criticus, in the way both of notes and indices is very complete."-Notes and Queries.

"The volume is interspersed with wellexecuted woodcuts, and its general attractiveness of form reflects great credit on the University Press. In the notes Mr Sandys has more than sustained his well-earned reputation as a careful and learned editor, and shows considerable advance in freedom and lightness of style. Under such cir

cumstances it is superfluous to say that for the purposes of teachers and advanced students this handsome edition far surpasses all its predecessors. The volume will add to the already wide popularity of a unique drama, and must be reckoned among the most im

portant classical publications of the year."Athenæum.

"This edition of a Greek play deserves more than the passing notice accorded to ordinary school editions of the classics. It has not, like so many such books, been hastily produced to meet the momentary need of some particular examination; but it has employed for some years the labour and thought of a highly finished scholar, whose aim seems to have been that his book should go forth totus teres atque rotundus, armed at all points with all that may throw light upon its subject. The result is a work which will not only assist the schoolboy or undergraduate in his tasks, but will adorn the library of the scholar." "The description of the woodcuts abounds in interesting and suggestive information upon various points of ancient art, and is a further instance of the very thorough as well as scholarlike manner in which Mr Sandys deals with his subject at every point. The commentary (pp. 87-240) bears the same stamp of thoroughness and high finish as the rest of the work. While questions of technical grammar receive due attention, textual criticism, philology, history, antiquities, and art are in turn laid under contribution for the elucidation of the poet's meaning. We must leave our readers to use and appreciate for themselves Mr Sandys' assistance."-The Guardian.

ARISTOTLE.

THE RHETORIC. With a Commentary by the late E. M. COPE, Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge, revised and edited by J. E. SANDYS, M.A., Fellow and Tutor of St John's College, Cambridge, and Public Orator. With a biographical Memoir by H. A. J. MUNRO, M.A. Three Volumes, Demy 8vo.

"This work is in many ways creditable to the University of Cambridge. The solid and extensive erudition of Mr Cope himself bears none the less speaking evidence to the value of the tradition which he continued, if it is not equally accompanied by those qualities of speculative originality and independent judgment which belong more to the individual writer than to his school. And while it must ever be regretted that a work so laborious should not have received the last touches of its author, the warmest admiration is due to Mr Sandys, for the manly, unselfish, and unflinching spirit in which he has performed his most difficult and delicate task. If an English student wishes to have a full conception of what is contained in the Rhetoric of Aris

totle, to Mr Cope's edition he must go."Academy.

"Mr Sandys has performed his arduous duties with marked ability and admirable tact. When the original Commentary stops abruptly three chapters before the end of the third book, Mr Sandys carefully supplies the deficiency, following Mr Cope's general plan and the slightest available indications of his intended treatment. In Appendices he has reprinted from classical journals several articles of Mr Cope's; and, what is better, he has given the best of the late Mr Shilleto's 'Adversaria.' In every part of his work-revising, supplementing, and completing-he has done exceedingly well."-Examiner.

"Dr Holden has issued an edition of what is perhaps the easiest and most popular of Cicero's philosophical works, the de Officiis, which, especially in the form which it has now assumed after two most thorough revisions, leaves little or nothing to be desired in the fullness and accuracy of its treatment alike of the matter and the language."-Academy.

By Professors Sir W. THOMSON and P. G. TAIT. Part I. Demy 8vo. cloth. Second Edition. 9s.

"This work is designed especially for the use of schools and junior classes in the Universities, the mathematical methods being limited almost without exception to those of the most elementary geometry, algebra, and

trigonometry. Tiros in Natural Philosophy cannot be better directed than by being told to give their diligent attention to an intelligent digestion of the contents of this excellent vade mecum."-Iron.

This able and comprehensive treatise will be welcomed by the student as bringing within his reach the results of many important researches on this subject which have hitherto been for the most part inaccessible to him. . . . . It would be presumptuous on the part of any one less learned in the litera

ture of the subject than Mr Scott to express an opinion as to the amount of his own research contained in this work, but all will appreciate the skill with which the results of his industrious reading have been arranged into this interesting treatise."-- Athenæum.

"It is time that Fourier's masterpiece, The Analytical Theory of Heat, translated by Mr Alex. Freeman, should be introduced to those English students of Mathematics who do not follow with freedom a treatise in any language but their own. It is a model of mathematical reasoning applied to physical phenomena, and is remarkable for the ingenuity of the analytical process employed by the author. Contemporary Review, October, 1878.

"There cannot be two opinions as to the

value and importance of the Théorie de la Chaleur. It has been called 'an exquisite mathematical poem,' not once but many times, independently, by mathematicians of different schools. Many of the very greatest of modern mathematicians regard it, justly, as the key which first opened to them the treasurehouse of mathematical physics. It is still the text-book of Heat Conduction, and there seems little present prospect of its being superseded, though it is already more than half a century old."-Nature.

A SELECTION OF THE STATE TRIALS.

By J. W. WILLIS-BUND, M.A., LL.B., Barrister-at-Law, Professor of Constitutional Law and History, University College, London. Vol. I. Trials for Treason (1327—1660). Crown 8vo. cloth, 18s.

"A great and good service has been done to all students of history, and especially to those of them who look to it in a legal aspect, by Prof. J. W. Willis-Bund in the publica tion of a Selection of Cases from the State Trials.... Professor Willis-Bund has been very careful to give such selections from the State Trials as will best illustrate those points in what may be called the growth of the Law of Treason which he wishes to bring clearly under the notice of the student, and the result is, that there is not a page in the book which has not its own lesson. In all respects, so far as we have been able to test it, this book is admirably done."Scotsman.

"Mr Willis-Bund has edited 'A Selection of Cases from the State Trials' which is likely to form a very valuable addition to the standard literature. There can

be no doubt, therefore, of the interest that can be found in the State trials. But they are large and unwieldy, and it is impossible for the general reader to come across them. Mr Willis-Bund has therefore done good service in making a selection that is in the first volume reduced to a commodious form." -The Examiner.

"Every one engaged, either in teaching or in historical inquiry, must have felt the want of such a book, taken from the unwieldy volumes of the State Trials."-Contemporary Review.

"This work is a very useful contribution to that important branch of the constitutional history of England which is concerned with the growth and development of the law of

Vol. II.

treason, as it may be gathered from trials before the ordinary courts. The author has very wisely distinguished these cases from those of impeachment for treason before Parliament, which he proposes to treat in a future volume under the general head 'Proceedings in Parliament.""The Academy.

"This is a work of such obvious utility that the only wonder is that no one should have undertaken it before.... In many respects therefore, although the trials are more or less abridged, this is for the ordinary student's purpose not only a more handy, but a more useful work than Howell's."Saturday Review.

"Within the boards of this useful and

handy book the student will find everything he can desire in the way of lists of cases given at length or referred to, and the statutes bearing on the text arranged chronologically. The work of selecting from Howell's bulky series of volumes has been done with much judgment, merely curious cases being excluded, and all included so treated as to illustrate some important point of constitutional law."-Glasgow Herald.

"Mr Bund's object is not the romance, but the constitutional and legal bearings of that great series of causes célèbres which is unfortunately not within easy reach of readers not happy enough to possess valuable libraries. Of the importance of this subject, or of the want of a book of this kind, referring not vaguely but precisely to the grounds of constitutional doctrines, both of past and present times, no reader of history can feel any doubt."-Daily News.

THE FRAGMENTS OF THE PERPETUAL

EDICT OF SALVIUS JULIANUS,

collected, arranged, and annotated by BRYAN WALKER, M.A. LL.D., Law Lecturer of St John's College, and late Fellow of Corpus Christi College, Cambridge. Crown 8vo., Cloth, Price 6s.

"This is one of the latest, we believe quite the latest, of the contributions made to legal scholarship by that revived study of the Roman Law at Cambridge which is now so marked a feature in the industrial life of the University.. In the present book we have the fruits of the same kind of thorough and well-ordered study which was brought to bear upon the notes to the Com

mentaries and the Institutes. . . Hitherto the Edict has been almost inaccessible to the ordinary English student, and such a student will be interested as well as perhaps surprised to find how abundantly the extant fragments illustrate and clear up points which have attracted his attention in the Commentaries, or the Institutes, or the Digest."Law Times.
