ATLAS of EUROPE. GLOBE EDITION. Uniform in size with Macmillan's Globe Series, containing 48 Coloured Maps, on the same scale Plans of London and Paris, and a copious Index, strongly bound in half-morocco, with flexible back. 95.

NOTICE. This Atlas includes all the Countries of Europe in a Series of
Forty-eight Maps, drawn on the same scale, with an Alphabetical Index to
the situation of more than 10,000 Places; and the relation of the various
Maps and Countries to each other is defined in a general Key-Map.
The identity of scale in all the Maps facilitates the comparison of extent and
distance, and conveys a just impression of the magnitude of different
Countries. The size suffices to show the Provincial Divisions, the Rail-
ways and Main Roads, the Principal Rivers and Mountain Ranges. As
a book it can be opened without the inconvenience which attends the use
of a folding map.

"In the series of works which Messrs. Macmillan and Co. are publishing
under this general title (Globe Series) they have combined portableness
with scholarly accuracy and typographical beauty, to a degree that is
almost unprecedented. Happily they are not alone in employing the
highest available scholarship in the preparation of the most elementary
educational works; but their exquisite taste and large resources secure an
artistic result which puts them almost beyond competition. This little
atlas will be an invaluable boon for the school, the desk, or the traveller's
portmanteau."-British Quarterly Review.

EARLY EGYPTIAN HISTORY for the Young. With Descriptions of the Tombs and Monuments. New Edition, with Frontispiece. Fcap. 8vo. 5s.

"Written with liveliness and perspicuity."-Guardian.

"Artistic appreciation of the picturesque, lively humour, unusual aptitude for handling the childish intellect, a pleasant style, and sufficient learning, altogether free from pedantic parade, are among the good qualities of this volume, which we cordially recommend to the parents of inquiring and book-loving boys and girls."-Athenæum.

"This is one of the most perfect books for the young that we have ever seen. We know something of Herodotus and Rawlinson, and the subject is certainly not new to us; yet we read on, not because it is our duty, but for very pleasure. The author has hit the best possible way of interesting any one young or old."-Literary Churchman.

For the use of Colleges and Schools. Containing a Graduated Selection from Modern Authors in Prose and Verse; and copious Notes, chiefly Etymological. By EDWARD A. OPPEN. Fcap. 8vo. cloth, 4s. 6d.

"Mr. Oppen has produced a French Reader, which is at once moderate yet full, informing yet interesting, which in its selections balances the moderns fairly against the ancients. . . . . The examples are chosen with taste and skill, and are so arranged as to form a most agreeable course of French reading. An etymological and biographical appendix constitutes a very valuable feature of the work."-Birmingham Daily Post.

18mo. 2s.

THE CHILD'S GRAMMAR. Being the substance of "The
Elements of Grammar taught in English," adapted for the use of
Junior Classes. A New Edition. 18mo. Is.

The author's effort in these two books has been to point out the broad,
beaten, every-day path, carefully avoiding digressions into the bye-ways
and eccentricities of language. This work took its rise from questionings
in National Schools, and the whole of the first part is merely the writing
out in order the answers to questions which have been used already with
success. Its success, not only in National Schools, from practical work
in which it took its rise, but also in classical schools, is full of encourage-

ment.

PROCTER.-A HISTORY of the BOOK of COMMON PRAYER: with a Rationale of its Offices. By FRANCIS PROCTER, M.A. Seventh Edition, revised and enlarged. Crown 8vo. 10s. 6d.

In the course of the last twenty years the whole question of Liturgical know-
ledge has been reopened with great learning and accurate research, and it
is mainly with the view of epitomizing their extensive publications, and
correcting by their help the errors and misconceptions which had obtained
currency, that the present volume has been put together.

PRAYER. By FRANCIS PROCTER, M. A. Second Edition.

18mo. 2s. 6d.

The author having been frequently urged to give a popular abridgment of his larger work in a form which should be suited for use in schools and for general readers, has attempted in this book to trace the History of the Prayer-Book, and to supply to the English reader the general results which in the larger work are accompanied by elaborate discussions and references to authorities indispensable to the student. It is hoped that this book may form a useful manual to assist people generally to a more intelligent use of the Forms of our Common Prayer.

The Author has endeavoured to connect the history of the New Testament Canon with the growth and consolidation of the Church, and to point out the relation existing between the amount of evidence for the authenticity of its component parts and the whole mass of Christian literature. Such a method of inquiry will convey both the truest notion of the connexion of the written Word with the living Body of Christ, and the surest conviction of its divine authority.

INTRODUCTION to the STUDY of the FOUR GOSPELS.
By BROOKE FOSS WESTCOTT, B.D. Third Edition.
8vo. 10s. 6d.

This book is intended to be an Introduction to the Study of the Gospels. In
a subject which involves so vast a literature much must have been over-
looked; but the author has made it a point at least to study the researches
of the great writers, and consciously to neglect none.
