"By numberless other like happy and weighty helps to a coherent and consistent text and interpretation, Dr Kennedy has approved himself a guide to Aeschylus of certainly peerless calibre."-Contemp. Rev.

"Let me say that I think it a most admirable piece of the highest criticism.... I like your Preface extremely; it is just to the point."-Professor PALEY.

"Professor Kennedy has conferred a boon on all teachers of the Greek classics, by causing the substance of his lectures at Cambridge on the Agamemnon of Eschylus to be published...This edition of the Agamemnon is one which no classical master should be without."-Examiner.

PRIVATE ORATIONS OF DEMOSTHENES,

with Introductions and English Notes, by F. A. PALEY, M.A. Editor of Aeschylus, etc. and J. E. SANDYS, M.A. Fellow and Tutor of St John's College, and Public Orator in the University of Cambridge.

PART I. Contra Phormionem, Lacritum, Pantaenetum, Boeotum de Nomine, Boeotum de Dote, Dionysodorum. Crown Octavo, cloth. 6s.

"Mr Paley's scholarship is sound and accurate, his experience of editing wide, and if he is content to devote his learning and abilities to the production of such manuals as these, they will be received with gratitude throughout the higher schools of the country. Mr Sandys is deeply read in the German

literature which bears upon his author, and the elucidation of matters of daily life, in the delineation of which Demosthenes is so rich, obtains full justice at his hands. . . . . We hope this edition may lead the way to a more general study of these speeches in schools than has hitherto been possible.-Academy.

PART II. Pro Phormione, Contra Stephanum I. II.; Nicostratum, Cononem, Calliclem. 7s. 6d.

"To give even a brief sketch of these speeches [Pro Phormione and Contra Stephanum] would be incompatible with our limits, though we can hardly conceive a task more useful to the classical or professional scholar than to make one for himself.. It is a great boon to those who set themselves to unravel the thread of arguments pro and con to have the aid of Mr Sandys's excellent running commentary.... and no can say that he is ever deficient

With Notes Explanatory

and Critical, Introductions and Introductory Essays.

Edited by

C. A. M. FENNELL, M.A., late Fellow of Jesus College. Crown Octavo, cloth. 95.

"Mr Fennell deserves the thanks of all classical students for his careful and scholarly edition of the Olympian and Pythian odes. He brings to his task the necessary enthu siasm for his author, great industry, a sound judgment, and, in particular, copious and minute learning in comparative philology. To his qualifications in this last respect every page bears witness."-Athenæum.

But

"Considered simply as a contribution to the study and criticism of Pindar, Mr Fennell's edition is a work of great merit. it has a wider interest, as exemplifying the change which has come over the methods and aims of Cambridge scholarship within the last ten or twelve years. . . . The short introductions and arguments to the Odes, which for so discursive an author as Pindar are all but a necessity, are both careful and acute... Altogether, this edition is a welcome and wholesome sign of the vitality and de

velopment of Cambridge scholarship, and we are glad to see that it is to be continued."Saturday Review.

"There are many reasons why Mr C. A. M. Fennell's edition of 'Pindar's Olympian and Pythian Odes;' should not go unnoticed, even though our space forbids doing it full justice; as a helpful complement and often corrective of preceding editions, both in its insight into comparative philology, its critical acumen, and its general sobriety of editing. In etymology especially the volume marks a generation later than Donaldson's, though holding in respect his brilliant authority. Most helpful, too, is the introductory essay on Pindar's style and dialect, while the chronological sequence of the Odes (pp. xxxi.-xxxii.), and the 'Metrical Schemes," which immediately precede the text and commentary, leave nothing to be desiderated."Contemporary Review.

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 Octavo, 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 illustration, 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 iliustration."-Saturday Review.

"Thirty-two beautifully executed wood engravings of ancient artistic productions, all of which, as well as others not included in the selection, are briefly but intelligibly described, lend an additional interest to this portion of the book. A careful examination of Mr Sandys' emendations and of the reasons given in support of them must satisfy every scholar that this department of the work has been judiciously and ingeniously managed. The explanatory notes are a mine rich in the results of careful study, varied learning and

accurate research."- The Scotsman.

"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 circumstances 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 important classical publications of the year."Athenæum.

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 Octavo. £1. 11s. 6d.

"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 judg ment 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 Aristotle, to Mr Cope's edition he must go."Academy.

"Mr Sandys has performed his arduous

duties with marked ability and admirable 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.

that all points of syntax or of Ciceronian usage which present themselves have been treated with full mastery. . . . . The thanks of many students will doubtless be given to Prof. Mayor for the amount of historical and biographical information afforded in the commentary, which is, as it should be, supplemented and not replaced by references to the usual authorities."-Academy.

"Such editions as that of which Prof. Mayor has given us the first instalment will doubtless do much to remedy this undeserved neglect. It is one on which great pains and much learning have evidently been expended, and is in every way admirably suited to meet the needs of the student. . . . . The notes of the editor are all that could be expected from his well-known learning and scholarship..... It is needless, therefore, to say M. T. CICERONIS DE OFFICIIS LIBRI TRES, with Marginal Analysis, an English Commentary, and copious Indices, by H. A. HOLDEN, LL.D. Head Master of Ipswich School, late Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge, Classical Examiner to the University of London. Third Edition. Revised and considerably enlarged. Crown Octavo. 9s.

"Dr Holden truly states that 'Text, Analysis, and Commentary in this third edi tion have been again subjected to a thorough revision.' It is now certainly the best edition extant. A sufficient apparatus of various readings is placed under the text, and a very careful summary in the margin. The Introduction (after Heine) and notes leave nothing to be desired in point of fulness, accuracy, and neatness; the typographical execution will satisfy the most fastidious eye. A careful

index of twenty-four pages makes it easy to use the book as a storehouse of information on points of grammar, history, and philo sophy. This edition of the Offices, Mr Reid's Academics, Lælius, and Cato, with the forthcoming editions of the De Finibus and the De Natura Deorum will do much to maintain the study of Cicero's philosophy in Roger Ascham's university."- Notes and Queries.

It would be presumptuous on the part of any one less learned in the litera

THE ANALYTICAL THEORY OF HEAT, By JOSEPH FOURIER. Translated, with Notes, by A. FREEMAN, M.A. Fellow of St John's College, Cambridge. "Fourier's treatise is one of the very few scientific books which can never be rendered antiquated by the progress of science. It is not only the first and the greatest book on the physical subject of the conduction of Heat, but in every Chapter new views are opened up into vast fields of mathematical speculation."

"Whatever text-books may be written, giving, perhaps, more succinct proofs of Fourier's different equations, Fourier himself will in all time coming retain his unique prerogative of being the guide of his reader into regions inaccessible to meaner men, however expert."-Extract from letter of Professor Clerk Maxwell.

"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 Mathe

matics who do not follow with freedom a
treatise in any language but their own.
is a model of mathematical reasoning applied
to physical phenomena, and is remarkable for
the ingenuity of the analytical process em-
ployed 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 mo dern 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.
