CLASSICAL BOOKS.

ÆSCHYLUS.-ÆSCHYLI EUMENIDES. The Greek Text, with English Notes, and English Verse Translation and an Introduction. By BERNARD DRAKE, M.A., late Fellow of King's College, Cambridge. 8vo. 7s. 6d.

The Greek Text adopted in this Edition is based upon that of Wellauer, which may be said in general terms to represent that of the best manuscripts. But in correcting the Text, and in the Notes, advantage has been taken of the suggestions of Hermann, Paley, Linwood, and other commentators.

ARISTOTLE.-ARISTOTLE ON FALLACIES; OR, THE SOPHISTICI ELENCHI. With a Translation and Notes by EDWARD POSTE, M.A., Fellow of Oriel College, Oxford. 8vo. 8s. 6d.

Besides the doctrine of Fallacies, Aristotle offers either in this treatise, or in other passages quoted in the commentary, various glances over the world of science and opinion, various suggestions on problems which are still agitated, and a vivid picture of the ancient system of dialectics, which it is hoped may be found both interesting and instructive.

"It is not only scholarlike and careful; it is also perspicuous."-Guardian. ARISTOTLE.-AN

INTRODUCTION

TO

ARISTOTLE'S
RHETORIC. With Analysis, Notes, and Appendices. By
E. M. COPE, Senior Fellow and Tutor of Trinity College, Cam-
bridge. 8vo. 145.

This work is introductory to an edition of the Greek Text of Aristotle's
Rhetoric, which is in course of preparation.

"Mr. Cope has given a very useful appendage to the promised Greek Text;
but also a work of so much independent use that he is quite justified in his
separate publication. All who have the Greek Text will find themselves
supplied with a comment; and those who have not will find an analysis of
the work."-Athenæum.

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.

With an

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.

The

DEMOSTHENES.-DEMOSTHENES on the CROWN.
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 Coronâ 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.

JESSOPP.-A MANUAL OF THE GREEK ACCIDENCE FOR THE USE OF BEGINNERS. By AUGUSTUS JESSOPP, M. A., Head Master of King Edward the Sixth School, Norwich. Fcap. 8vo. 3s. 6d.

JUVENAL.-JUVENAL, FOR SCHOOLS. With English Notes. By J. E. B. MAYOR, M.A. New and Cheaper Edition. Crown [In the Press.

8vo.

"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.

LYTTELTON. THE COMUS of MILTON rendered into Greek Verse. By LORD LYTTELTON. Extra fcap. 8vo. Second Edition. 5s.

ROBY.-AN ELEMENTARY LATIN GRAMMAR.
ROBY, M.A.

New Edition. 18mo.

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.

MACMILLAN AND CO'S

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 :

[ocr errors]

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 inserted 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.
8vo. Is. 6d.

THUCYDIDES.-THE SICILIAN EXPEDITION. Being Books VI. and VII. of Thucydides, with Notes. A New Edition, revised and enlarged, with a Map. By the Rev. PERCIVAL FROST, M. A., late Fellow of St. John's College, Cambridge. Fcap. 8vo. 5s.

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.

A 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.
