This Lexicon, projected by the late THOMAS KERCHEVER ARNOLD, in conjunction with DR. FRÄDERSDORFF, has occupied not less than seven years in its preparation, and more than four in its progress through the press. *** The materials collected from Rost have been collated with the German-Greek Lexicon of DR. JOн. FRANZ (1838, 2 vols. 8vo, 1419 and 1185 columns), and the present Lexicon has profited by the very great improvements, in copiousness of matter, critical accuracy, and scientific method, by which the work of that eminent scholar and accomplished writer and speaker of Greek is distinguished from that of his predecessor. The more compendious manual of DR. W. PAPE (1845, 8vo, pp. 818), based on the works of Rost and Franz, and on his own Greek-German Lexicon, has been also used with advantage. And the FrenchGreek Dictionary of M. OZANEAUX (1847, 8vo, pp. 1204) has been eminently serviceable, especially in those parts of our vocabulary and phraseology which are common to us with the French. The earlier work of MM. Alexandre, Planche, and Defauconpret, which is the French-Greek Dictionary "authorized by the Council of Public Instruction," had passed through several editions before that of 1849, pp. 997; it is, however, by no means equal to that of M. Ozaneaux, and little use has been made of it in these pages. To the materials obtained from the sources which have been indicated, much has been added from collections, made for the purposes of this work by the present Editor, as also from good English translations of the classical authors, and, above all, from the GreekEnglish Lexicon of LIDDELL and SCOTT, to which indeed he has so constantly referred, that, besides the check upon renderings derived through the German or French, the present volume, it is hoped, will serve as a tolerably complete Index to that invaluable work, and, in fact, may be said to be based upon it at least as much as upon the foreign lexicons which have been mentioned. It remains to be observed, that numerous articles have been written quite independently of works already in existence. This has been done, frequently, in those words of most common use and extensive signification in which the characteristic idioms of our language are most conspicuous; always, in the so-called "relational" or "form-words," whether verbs auxiliary of tense and mood, or pronouns and pronominal words, conjunctions, negative and other adverbial particles, and prepositions. If in some of these articles the length to which they have been carried may seem more suitable to a Grammar or Manual of Greek Composition than to a Lexicon, the Writer can only plead his desire to make this work as practically useful as possible. 3, Waterloo Place, Pall Mall, London Rivington's School and College List The First French Book; on the plan of "Henry's First Latin Book."

"We may congratulate Mr. Girdlestone on having produced a thoroughly philosophical book on this most useful subject. It appears to be especially suited for older students, who, having been taught imperfectly and irrationally in the earlier part of their school career, desire to go over the whole ground again from the beginning; but in the hands of an intelligent and discriminating teacher it may also be perfectly adapted to the comprehension of young boys."Times. "This work might be well termed a compendious system of Arithmetic ; that is, one, the operations of which are effected by the shortest of methods; but these methods are not those which have been taught by the generality of our schools. Such a system, however, implies a thorough comprehension and application of the powers of numbers and their component parts. Thus the author's results are obtained by processes marvellously less than those usually employed. The author is no less happy in dealing with fractions, both vulgar and decimal, and conducts his pupil in the same style through all the branches of his subject, including the square and cube roots... Throughout his progress, the author is careful to explain his reasonings to the pupil, providing him with detailed examples in each branch as he proceeds, and leaving him with a selection of them for his exercise as he concludes it; completing the whole with a tolerable collection from the Examination Papers of our Universities and Civil Service Commissions, along with an Appendix containing answers to the whole. We must content ourselves with this brief general notice of the work, which we consider one of the highest order of its kind, far, very far superior to those of former days. Assuredly, if brevity (as it is considered) be the soul of wit, so must it be that of Arithmetic, when its object is equally attained by it, as by a roundabout method; and on this account alone it commends itself to the attention of the rising generation, who might go to work with it in selfinstruction without the superintendence of a teacher. But with or without such assistance, the élève who masters the contents of the work before us in all its parts may well be considered a finished accountant."-Nautical Magazine. 3, Waterloo Place, Pall Mall, London Rivington's School and College List 13 A Manual of Confirmation; com prising-1.
