Edited by John Edwin Sandys, B.A., Fellow and Lecturer of St. John's College, and Lecturer at Jesus College, Cambridge. Part I. Ad Demonicum et Panegyricus. Crown 8vo. "This is one of the most excellent Works of that excellent series, the Catena Classicorum. Isocrates has not received the attention to which the simplicity of his style and the purity of his Attic language entitle him as a means of education. Now that we have so admirable an edition of two of his Works best adapted for such a purpose, there will no longer be any excuse for this neglect. For carefulness and thoroughness of editing, it will bear comparison with the best, whether English or foreign. Besides an ample supply of exhaustive notes of rare excellence, we find in it valuable remarks on the style of Isocrates and the state of the text, a table of various readings, a list of editions, and a special introduction to each piece. As in other editions of this series, short summaries of the argument are inserted in suitable places, and will be found of great service to the student. The commentary embraces explanations of diffi cult passages, with instructive remarks on grammatical usages, and the derivation and meanings of words illustrated by quotations and references. Occasionally the student's attention is called to the moral sentiment expressed or implied in the text. With all this abundance of annotation, founded on a diligent study of the best and latest authorities, there is no excess of matter and no waste of words. The elegance of the exterior is in harmony with the intrinsic worth of the volume."-Athe паит. 4s. 6d. "This Work deserves the warmest welcome for several reasons. In the first place, it is an attempt to introduce Isocrates into our schools, and this attempt deserves encouragement. The Ad Demonicum is very easy Greek. It is good Greek. And it is reading of a healthy nature for boys. The practical wisdom of the Greeks is in many respects fitted to the capacities of boys; and if books containing this wisdom are read in schools, along with others of a historical and poetical nature, they will be felt to be far from dry. Then the Editor has done every thing that an editor should do. We have a series of short introductory essays; on the style of Isocrates, on the text, on the Ad Demonicum, and on the Panegyricus. These are characterized by sound sense, wide and thorough learning, and the capability of presenting thoughts clearly and well."-Museum. 66 . By editing Isocrates Mr. Sandys does good service to students and teachers of Greek Prose. He places in our hands in a convenient form an author who will be found of great use in public schools, where he has been hitherto almost unknown. Mr. Sandys worthily sustains as a commentator the name which he has already won. The historical notes are good, clear, and concise; the grammatical notes scholar-like and practically useful. Many will be welcome alike to master and pupil."-Cambridge University Gazette. 3, Waterloo Place, Pall Mall, London Rivington's School and College List 17 A Practical Introduction to Latin Prose Composition: Part I. By Thomas Kerchever Arnold, M. A. Fifteenth Edition. 8vo. 6s. 6d. Tutor's Key, 1s. 6d. In this Work the rules for the government and arrangement of words, and the Idioms of the Latin language are given in short lessons, and illustrated by examples from the best authors: the exercises that follow, are so arranged, that the rules are impressed on the memory by very fre quent repetition. Much attention has been paid to Synonymes and to the use of the Subjunctive. Throughout the book one object is steadily kept in view, that of making the general construction of sentences of more importance than the mere government of cases.
