THE want of an Annotated Edition of the BIBLE, in handy portions, suitable for School use, has long been felt.

In order to provide Text-books for School and Examination purposes, the CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY PRESS has arranged to publish the several books of the BIBLE in separate portions at a moderate price, with introductions and explanatory notes.

The Very Reverend J. J. S. PEROWNE, D.D., Dean of Peterborough, has undertaken the general editorial supervision of the work, and will be assisted by a staff of eminent coadjutors.

Price 2s. each.

"This little volume (III.) is on every account well suited, either for schools or for the Local Examinations."-- Times.

"Mr. Pretor's Anabasis of Xenophon, Book IV.' displays a union of accurate Cambridge scholarship, with experience of what is required by learners gained in examining middle-class schools. The text is large and clearly printed, and the notes explain all difficulties. Mr Pretor's notes seem to be all that could be wished as regards grammar, geography, and other matters."-The Academy.

"It is an admirable specimen of careful editing. An Introduction tells us everything we could wish to know about Archias, about Cicero's connexion with him, about the merits of the trial, and the genuineness of the speech. The text is well and carefully printed. The notes are clear and scholar-like.... No boy can master this little volume without feeling that he has advanced a long step in scholarship."-The Academy.

PITT PRESS SERIES (continued).

M. T. CICERONIS PRO L. CORNELIO BALBO ORATIO. Edited by J. S. REID, M.L. late Fellow of Christ's College, Cambridge. Price 1s. 6d.

"Mr Reid's Orations for Archias and for Balbus profess to keep in mind the training of the student's eye for the finer and more delicate matters of scholarship no less than for the more obvious; and not only deal with the commonplace notabilia of a Latin oration as they serve the needs of a commonplace student, but also point out the specialities of Cicero's subject-matter and modes of expression. . . We are bound to recognize the pains devoted in the annotation of these two orations to the minute and thorough study of their Latinity, both in the ordinary notes and in the textual appendices.' "-Saturday Review.

"Mr Reid's Pro Balbo is marked by the same qualities as his edition of the Pro Archia."-The Academy.

P. OVIDII NASONIS FASTORUM LIBER VI. With a Plan of Rome and Notes by A. SIDGWICK, M.A. late Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge, and Assistant Master in Rugby School. Price 1s. 6d.

"Mr Sidgwick's editing of the Sixth Book of Ovid's Fasti furnishes a careful and serviceable volume for average students. It eschews 'construes' which supersede the use of the dictionary, but gives full explanation of grammatical usages and historical and mythical allusions, besides illustrating peculiarities of style, true and false derivations, and the more remarkable variations of the text."-Saturday Review.

"It is eminently good and useful. . . . The Introduction is singularly clear on the astronomy of Ovid, which is properly shown to be ignorant and confused; there is an excellent little map of Rome, giving just the places mentioned in the text and no more; the notes are evidently written by a practical schoolmaster.”—The Academy. GAI IULI CAESARIS DE BELLO GALLICO

COMMENTARIUS SEPTIMUS. With two Plans and English
Notes by A. G. PESKETT, B.A. Fellow of Magdalene College,
Cambridge. Price 2s.

"In an unusually succinct introduction he gives all the preliminary and collateral information that is likely to be useful to a young student; and, wherever we have examined his notes, we have found them eminently practical and satisfying... The book may well be recommended for careful study in school or college.”—Saturday Review.

M.A., Professor of Latin, and J. R. LUMBY, D.D., Fellow of
St Catharine's College. Price 7s. 6d.

"To young students of English History the illustrative notes will be of great service, while the study of the texts will be a good introduction to Medieval Latin.” -The Nonconformist.

P. VERGILI MARONIS AENEIDOS LIBER VI. Edited with Notes by A. SIDGWICK, M.A. (late Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge, Assistant Master in Rugby School). Cloth, extra fcap. 8vo. Price is. 6d.

BOOKS X., XI., XII. by the same Editor. Is. 6d. each.

"Mr Arthur Sidgwick's 'Vergil, Aeneid, Book XII.' is worthy of his reputation, and is distinguished by the same acuteness and accuracy of knowledge, appreciation of a boy's difficulties and ingenuity and resource in meeting them, which we have on other occasions had reason to praise in these pages."-The Academy.

"As masterly in its clearly divided preface and appendices as in the sound and independent character of its annotations.... There is a great deal more in the notes than mere compilation and suggestion.... No difficulty is left unnoticed or unhandled."-Saturday Review.

BOOKS X., XI., XII. in one volume. Price 3s. 6d.

Small 8vo. Price 35. "Those students are to be deemed fortunate who have to read Cicero's lively and brilliant oration for L. Murena with Mr Heitland's handy edition, which may be pronounced four-square' in point of equipment, and which has, not without good reason, attained the honours of a second edition."—Saturday Review.

SMYTH PURTON, B.D., late President and Tutor of St Catharine's
College. Cloth, small crown 8vo. Price 2s. 6d.

"The editorial work is excellently done, but the book contains more than is re quired for University Local Examinations, and is rather suited to the higher forms of public schools."-The Academy.

"A careful and scholarlike production.”—Times.

"In nice parallels of Lucan from Latin poets and from Shakspeare, Mr Haskins and Mr Heitland deserve praise.”—Saturday Review.

"Prussia under Frederick the Great, and France under the Directory, bring us face to face respectively with periods of history which it is right should be known thoroughly, and which are well treated in the Pitt Press volumes. The latter in particular, an extract from the world-known work of Madame de Staël on the French Revolution, is beyond all praise for the excellence both of its style and of its matter.”—Times.

"The choice made by M. Masson of the second book of the Memoirs of Madame de Staël appears specially felicitous. . . . This is likely to be one of the most favoured of M. Masson's editions, and deservedly so."—Academy.
