MACMILLAN AND CO'S

CATULLUS.-CATULLI VERONENSIS LIBER, edited by R. ELLIS, Fellow of Trinity College, Oxford. 18mo. 35. 6d.

"It is little to say that no edition of Catullus at once so scholarlike has ever appeared in England."-Athenæum.

"Rarely have we read a classic author with so reliable, acute, and safe a guide."-Saturday Review.

CICERO.-THE SECOND PHILIPPIC ORATION. Introduction and Notes, translated from the German of KARL HALM. Edited, with Corrections and Additions, by JOHN E. B. MAYOR, M.A., Fellow and Classical Lecturer of St. John's College, Cambridge. Third Edition, revised. Fcap. 8vo. 5s.

"A very valuable edition, from which the student may gather much both in the way of information directly communicated, and directions to other sources of knowledge."-Athenæum.

DEMOSTHENES.-DEMOSTHENES on the CROWN. The Greek Text with English Notes. By B. DRAKE, M.A., late Fellow of King's College, Cambridge. Third Edition, to which is prefixed ÆSCHINES AGAINST CTESIPHON, with English Notes. Fcap. 8vo. 5s.

The terseness and felicity of Mr. Drake's translations constitute perhaps the chief value of his edition, and the historical and archæological details necessary to understanding the De Corona have in some measure been anticipated in the notes on the Oration of Eschines. In both, the text adopted in the Zurich edition of 1851, and taken from the Parisian MS., has been adhered to without any variation. Where the readings of Bekker, Dissen, and others appear preferable, they are subjoined in the

notes.

HODGSON-MYTHOLOGY FOR LATIN VERSIFICATION. A Brief Sketch of the Fables of the Ancients, prepared to be rendered into Latin Verse for Schools. By F. HODGSON, B.D., late Provost of Eton. New Edition, revised by F. C. HODGSON, M.A. 18mo. 35.

Intending the little book to be entirely elementary, the Author has made it as easy as he could, without too largely superseding the use of the Dictionary and Gradus. By the facilities here afforded, it will be possible, in many cases, for a boy to get rapidly through these preparatory exercises; and thus, having mastered the first difficulties, he may advance with better hopes of improvement to subjects of higher character, and verses of more difficult composition.

"A School edition of Juvenal, which, for really ripe scholarship, extensive acquaintance with Latin literature, and familiar knowledge of Continental criticism, ancient and modern, is unsurpassed, we do not say among English School-books, but among English editions generally."-Edinburgh Review.

By H. J. [In the Press.

"It contains an amount of accurate and well-digested knowledge such as is often found wanting in works of much greater pretensions. We know no book which in so small a compass, and with so little parade, contains more sound knowledge of Latin."-Spectator.

SALLUST.-CAII SALLUSTII CRISPI Catilina et Jugurtha. For use in Schools (with copious Notes). By C. MERIVALE, B.D. (In the present Edition the Notes have been carefully revised, and a few remarks and explanations added.) Second Edition. Fcap.

8vo. 4s. 6d.

The Jugurtha and the Catilina may be had separately, price 2s. 6d. each.

TACITUS. THE HISTORY OF TACITUS translated into ENGLISH. By A. J. CHURCH, M.A., and W. J. BRODRIBB, M. A. With Notes and a Map. 8vo. 10s. 6d.

The translators have endeavoured to adhere as closely to the original as was thought consistent with a proper observance of English idiom. At the same time it has been their aim to reproduce the precise expressions of the author. The campaign of Civilis is elucidated in a note of some length which is illustrated by a map, containing only the names of places and of tribes occurring in the work.

THRING.—Works by Edward Thring, M.A., Head Master of Uppingham School :

A CONSTRUING BOOK. Fcap. 8vo. 2s. 6d.

This Construing Book is drawn up on the same sort of graduated scale as the
Author's English Grammar. Passages out of the best Latin Poets are
gradually built up into their perfect shape. The few words altered, or in-
serted as the passages go on, are printed in Italics. It is hoped by this
plan that the learner, whilst acquiring the rudiments of language, may
store his mind with good poetry and a good vocabulary.

A LATIN GRADUAL. A First Latin Construing Book for
Beginners. Fcap. 8vo. 2s. 6d.

The main plan of this little work has been well tested.

The intention is to supply by easy steps a knowledge of Grammar, combined with a good vocabulary; in a word, a book which will not require to be forgotten again as the learner advances.

A short practical manual of common Mood constructions, with their English equivalents, form the second part.

A MANUAL of MOOD CONSTRUCTIONS.

This edition is mainly a grammatical one. Attention is called to the force of compound verbs, and the exact meaning of the various tenses employed.

WRIGHT-Works by J. Wright, M.A., late Head Master of
Sutton Coldfield School :-

HELLENICA; Or, a HISTORY of GREECE in GREEK,
as related by Diodorus and Thucydides, being a First Greek
Reading Book, with Explanatory Notes Critical and Historical.
Second Edition, with a Vocabulary. 12mo. 3s. 6d.

In the last twenty chapters of this volume, Thucydides sketches the rise and
progress of the Athenian Empire in so clear a style and in such simple
language, that the author doubts whether any easier or more instructive
passages can be selected for the use of the pupil who is commencing
Greek.

IA HELP TO LATIN GRAMMAR; Or, the Form and Use of Words in Latin, with Progressive Exercises. Crown 8vo. 4s. 6d.

"Never was there a better aid offered alike to teacher and scholar in that arduous pass. The style is at once familiar and strikingly simple and lucid; and the explanations precisely hit the difficulties, and thoroughly explain them."-English Journal of Education.

THE SEVEN KINGS OF ROME. An Easy Narrative, abridged from the First Book of Livy by the omission of difficult passages, being a First Latin Reading Book, with Grammatical. Notes. Fcap. 8vo. 3s.

This work is intended to supply the pupil with an easy Construing-book, which may at the same time be made the vehicle for instructing him in the rules of grammar and principles of composition. Here Livy tells his own pleasant stories in his own pleasant words. Let Livy be the master to teach a boy Latin, not some English collector of sentences, and he will not be found a dull one.

- A VOCABULARY AND EXERCISES on the "SEVEN KINGS OF ROME." Fcap. 8vo. 2s. 6d.

The Vocabulary and Exercises may also be had bound up with "The Seven Kings of Rome."

ELEMENTARY TREATISE ON PARTIAL DIFFEREN-
TIAL EQUATIONS. Designed for the use of Students in the
University. With Diagrams. Crown 8vo. cloth, 5s. 6d.

It is hoped that the methods of solution here explained, and the instances
exhibited, will be found sufficient for application to nearly all the important
problems of Physical Science, which require for their complete investiga-
tion the aid of partial differential equations.

"Popular Astronomy in general has many manuals; but none of them supersede the Six Lectures of the Astronomer Royal under that title. speciality is the direct way in which every step is referred to the observatory, and in which the methods and instruments by which every observation is made are fully described. This gives a sense of solidity and substance to astronomical statements which is obtainable in no other way."-Guardian.

BEASLEY-AN ELEMENTARY TREATISE ON PLANE TRIGONOMETRY. With Examples. By R. D. BEAsley, M.A., Head Master of Grantham Grammar School. Second Edition, revised and enlarged. Crown 8vo. cloth, 3s. 6d.

This Treatise is specially intended for use in Schools. The choice of matter has been chiefly guided by the requirements of the three days' Examination at Cambridge, with the exception of proportional parts in Logarithms, which have been omitted. About Four hundred Examples have been added, mainly collected from the Examination Papers of the last ten years, and great pains have been taken to exclude from the body of the work any which might dishearten a beginner by their difficulty.

A TREATISE ON DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS. New and Revised Edition. Edited by I. TODHUNTER. Crown 8vo. cloth, 14s.

The author has endeavoured in this Treatise to convey as complete an account of the present state of knowledge on the subject of Differential Equations, as was consistent with the idea of a work intended primarily for elementary instruction. The earlier sections of each chapter contain that kind of matter which has usually been thought suitable to the beginner, while the later ones are devoted either to an account of recent discovery, or the discussion of such deeper questions of principle as are likely to present themselves to the reflective student in connexion with the methods and processes of his previous course.
