Small 8vo. In Two Parts :-I. German-English, cloth, 58. II. English-German, cloth, 4s.; complete in 1 vol., cloth, 7s. 6d. Strongly bound in leather, 9s.

To such persons, and to others also, it is a great advantage to see the correct pronunciation of every word at a glance. Various technical terms, relating to commerce, science, the arts, &c., have also been inserted, all of them being adapted to the present advanced state of knowledge.

Cassell's Lessons in Latin;

Being an Elementary Grammar of the Latin Language, a Series of Easy and Progressive Lessons; with numerous Exercises for Translation from English into Latin, and Latin into English; intended especially for those who are desirous of learning Latin without a Master. By the Rev. J. R. BEARD, D.D. 12mo, paper covers, 2s. 6d.; cloth, 3s.

The system of Latin Grammar developed in this work combines not only what is to be found in all Latin Grammars, though in very different forms, but also what is rarely to be found in any one, a Series of Easy and Progressive Exercises, adapted to the real state of the student's knowledge at every step. Especial attention has been paid throughout to the exhibition of those formulæ which usually present some difficulty to beginners, or are liable to escape the memory. It is believed that no work has appeared in this country better adapted for the purposes of self-tuition, and for conveying to the mind of an attentive learner a great amount of knowledge in the Latin language in the shortest possible time.

Cassell's Latin Grammar,

For the use of Schools and Colleges. By Professors
ANDREWS and STODDARD. Crown 8vo, cloth, 3s. 6d.

Students, advanced in the knowledge of the Latin language, will find in this work a treatise extensive enough to embrace all the appropriate topics of a grammatical inquiry, yet so logical in the arrangement of the several parts as to be clearly understood and convenient for reference; comprehensive in scope, and accurate in detail; on a par with the advanced scholarship of the present day, and yet sufficiently moderate in price to be easily attainable; in short, a Latin Grammar at once useful, complete, and cheap. Many competent judges, of high standing as professors of colleges, after having brought it into use, have pronounced it to be a production of superior merit.

Cassell's Latin Reader,

Adapted to "Cassell's Latin Grammar;" consisting of
Fables, Mythology, Anecdotes of Eminent Men, Roman
History, and Ancient Geography; to which is appended
an appropriate Dictionary. 12mo, cloth, 1s. 6d.

In the present day, it is almost universally admitted, that the sooner the student has an opportunity of employing the knowledge he has acquired, the better; in fact, that translation is a far more effectual, as well as more agreeable, method of learning the grammar of the language, than committing to memory, with the greatest care, any treatise on the subject. The portions selected for translation are adapted to promote the steady advancement of the student in a knowledge and command of the language.

Adapted to ANDREWS and STODDARD's Latin Grammar. 12mo, cloth, 2s.

Cloth 8vo, 4s. 6d. each; or bound in 1 vol., 7s. 6d., cloth;

This Dictionary occupies an intermediate position between the ordinary School Dictionaries, which are drawn up in a glossarial form, and the elaborate Lexicons, where the meanings and applications of the words are illustrated by long quotations. It includes every word used by the following authors: Cato, Cicero, Cæsar, Celsus, Columella, Catullus, Horace, Juvenal, Livy, Lucretius, Martial, Nepos, Ovid, Plautus, Phædrus, the two Plinies, Persius, Propertius, Quintilian, Sallust, Seneca, Silius Italicus, Statius, Suetonius, Terence, Tibullus, Tacitus, Virgil, Velleius, Varro, Vitruvius, Valerius Maximus, Valerius Flaccus, The meanings of each word are arranged as far as possible in their etymological order; and brief illustrative quotations are appended, which, it is believed, will afford substantial help to the more advanced student. Mythological notices are added to such an extent as will enable the student to understand many poetic allusions.

Cassell's Lessons in Italian

Being an Elementary Grammar of the Language; with numerous Exercises, Italian-English and English-Italian, a compendious Vocabulary, &c. &c. By CHARLES TAUSENAU, M.D., of the University of Pavia, and Professor of the German and Italian Languages. 12mo. In stiff covers, 3s.; cloth, 3s. 6d.

This work is intended as a really practical guide to the study of the Italian language; and is, perhaps, the first considerable attempt that has been made to popularise the noble and melodious language of Dante and Tasso. The method pursued is a natural, simple, and easy one, with carefully prepared rules for the pronunciation.

Cassell's Lessons in Greek,

Including a Grammar of the Language, in Easy and Progressive Lessons, with numerous Exercises for Translating from Greek into English, and from English into Greek, &c. &c. By the Rev. J. R. BEARD, D.D. 12mo. In stiff covers, 3s. 6d. ; cloth, 4s.

This volume has been written by the author for the purpose of simplifying the study of the Greek language. In the method here employed it is believed that diligent study of these lessons will enable any person of ordinary capacity to read the New Testament, and to acquire an intimate acquaintance with Xenophon, Demosthenes, Thucydides, Homer, and other Greek classics, in a much shorter time than could be obtained by other methods.

The Acts of the Apostles in the Original Greek,
According to the Text of Augustus Hahn, with Notes, and
a Lexicon. For the use of Schools and Colleges.
JOHN J. OWEN, D.D. 12mo, cloth, 2s. 6d.

By

The Acts of the Apostles have been selected as admirably adapted, both in its subject and style, to interest the young student, and secure his moral and intellectual improvement. The text is based on Dr. Robinson's edition of Hahn's "Novum Testamentum Græce," which is, perhaps, as accurate a one as can now be found. In some instances the definitions have been extended or modified by the editor, whenever in his judgment it was rendered necessary for the better adaptation of the work to the wants of students.
