JUST'S GEEIAI EElDIie-BOOK : CONSISTING OF GEBMAH" TALES, ANECDOTES, FABLES, and POETRY, PROGRESSIVELY ARRANGED FOE BEGINNERS. WITH A COMPLETE VOCABULARY AT THE FOOT OF THE PAGES, AND AN APPENDIX OF GERMAN EXPLETIVES. In the preparation of this work, which is intended for the use of English Students of German, the aim of the compiler has been to interest the pupil from the outset, as well as, by graduating the diffi- culty of the lessons, to facilitate his mastery of the language. The volume consists of a careful selection of short interesting tales and amusing anecdotes, with a few good fables and parables interspersed. The first part contains thirty short easy pieces, composed entirely with- out Separable compound verbs. The rules relating to this class of Velts should be learnt from the grammar before the pupil proceeds to the second part, which consists of forty pieces of an easy and elementary character, but exemplifying the resources of the Gferman language more freely. The tales of the third part, thirty in number, are som'ewhat more difficult in construction, and consist chiefly of pictures of real life and passages of history. The fourth part contains twenty choice pieces of poetry adapted for those students who desire to commit poetry to memory as part of their course. With a view to present none but un- exceptionable modes of composition and style, the entire selection has been made from well-known writers of admitted eminence. At the foot of each page is given a copious Glossary of words occurring in the les- sons, with a view to save the trouble and hindrance Of refetting to a dictionary. An Appendix is added of CoUlMjuial and Idiomatic Phrases, frequently met with in German writings, which do not admit of literal translation. London : LONGMANS and 00. Paternoster Row. THE BEST GERMAN DICTIONARY FOR ENGLISH LEARNERS. School Edition, in One thick Volume, post 8vo. of 1,182 pages, price 7s. Sd. doth, NEW PKAOTICAL GlEEMM-ENGLISH DICTIOMEY. CONTAINING THE FOLLOWING IMPROVEMENTS : 1. New Words in general use not to be found in other Dictionaries. 2. Compound Words not translated Jiterally, 3. Prepositions annexed to Verbs and Adjectives where necessary. 4. meanings of Words separated by Figures, and Directions distinguishing their various acceptations. 5. Idiomatic expressions with their proper Equivalents in each Language. By the Rev. W. L. BLACKLEY, M.A. AND C. M. FEIEDLANDER, M.D. Ph.D. OPINIONS of this DICTIONARY. ^ Of dictionaries and school tookB It .is impossible to form any opinion without having put them to the practical test of use. We must, however, give Blacklky and Pkibdlakdeb's German Dictionary great praise for its typography and me- chanical arrangement. As far, too, as we have examined it, the promises in the preface, of conciseness and facility of reference, have been faithfully kept.' "WESTMIXSTEtt RbTIEW. * Within a volume of moderate size the joint-Authors have constructed a diction- ary which Is certain to como into favour with young stjidents; for they will And In it a measure of help not to be had else- where except in works of much higher price and larger pretensions. The p]au adopted for distinguishing the various applications of the same word is very clear and satisfactory; the care bestowed upon the rendering of the idiomatic proverbial phrases is above all praise,' PAPBlta for the SOHOOJiMASTER. 'This dictionary Is pre-eminently prac- tical in the best sense of the word. Omit- ting nothing that is likely to he wanted In the course of ordinary study, It is yet of such moderate dlmensious as to he cour venient for general use. It is based upon the best and latest authorities, and having been compiled by Editors of the two nations, is not marred by that inequality of exe- cution which Is almost Inevitable In such a work from a single hand. We have found in it meanings absent from larger diction- aries. This applies particularly to techni- cal meanings which not unfroquencly occur, and are here amply supplied. The arrangement of the materials is also well suited fur practical use, being simple and consistent throughout. Idiomatic and proverbial sayings are rendered with great aptness and correctness. The English- German part is remarkably good. To prevent the possibility of such absurd blunders as are often perpetrated by English students in writing German, the various senses of the English word are given, with the appropriate rendering of each, whereas most dictionaries merely give all the Gerrnai* meanings in succession, without specifying the particular cases to which they severally apply. No one can have the least difBculty in selectingfrom this dictionary the proper German equivalent for any English word in any connexion.' Athes^um. Xondon : LONGrMANS and CO. Paternoster Kow.

BOSTON AND CAMBRIDGE. 1869. PREFACE. This little Geeman G-bammak is intended especially for those students of German who use Ahn's German Method \ but I think it may also be used with advantage in connection with any other German exercise-book for beginners, since the Declensions and Conjugations are carefully and com- pletely treated in it, and nothing is omitted that is required to be known, in order to pass successfully any of the Public Examinations in German in this country.

OPPEN, OP HAILETBTJRT GOLIiEGE, I. SCHILLER'S WILHELM TELL, price 2s. Qd. ' This is one of a series of German classics carefully edited from the latest German editions, and furnished "with excellent Notes, well suited for English, learners, especially those who have some knowledge of Latin. The Introduction gires a clear account of the circumstances on which the play is founded, and nothing is omitted which an intelligent student would be likely to require.' Athen^um. ' The Editior has done his work con- scientiously and thoroughly. The Play is preceded by an historical introduction, giving an account of the events on which Wilhelm Tell is founded, and referring especially to the sources from which Schiller derived his information. The Notes on the Text seem to us remarkably good. Unusual words and phrases are lucidly explained, syntactical peculiarities are illustrated, and the results of com- parative philology are often very appro- priately introduced. Along with all this we have important historical notes.' Museum. ' This neat and correctly-printed little volume forms one of a new series of German Classics, and the moderately advanced student of that langu^e will he greatly assisted in comprehending the beauties of the original by the careful annotations of Professor Oppen. These will save him from the irksome labour of constant reference to a dictionary, which, after all, could not guide him to the sense of any passage so clearly as it is here given. The pages of the book are, besides, interspersed throughout with historical notices and references of great value ; and altogether the series promises to be a very useful and excellent addition to our elementary publications,* Midland Counties Herald.

IPHIGENIE AUF TAUEIS, ' Iphigenie auf Tauris, the second of tlie series of Standaxd German works edited for English learners by Professor Oppen, is a tragedy well known to be one of Goethe's masterpieces. It supplies very good reading for a pupil who has pre- viously gone through such a play as ScHiLLHR's Wilhelm Tell, the same Editor's annotated edition of wluch we lately recommended. The Iphigenie auf Tauris shews traces of the same careful prepara- tion observable in Wilhelm Tell. Such editions of annotated foreign classics are extremely valuable for advanced students.' London Review. * An excellent school edition of Goethe's admirable drama. The Notes afford all necessary aid in rendering the more diffi- cult constructions. In the Introduction, Professor Oppen details the original legend, and discusses the modifications it has received under the treatment of the great German poet.' Educational Times. III. GOETHE'S EGMONT, price 2s. 6d. ' These two dramas form part of a series of German Classics now in course of pub- lication, edited by Professor E. A. Oppen, of Haileybury College ; , and if the series be continued as it has begun, we shall see the masterpieces of German literature admi- rably edited and issued at a price within the means of all students. To each drama is prefixed an introduction embodying all the critical information required to enable an English learner of German to under- stand and appreciate the poem. The in- troduction to JpMgenia, besides relating the legend on which Goethe built his play, analysis the tragedy of Euexpides on the same subject, and compares its iroetical treatment in the two dramas. Drawing upon Mr. Motley's history, the introduc- tion to Egmont tells his sad story, stotches Mabgaebt of Parma and the Prince of Change, and thus clears up what illusions the notes do not explain. The notes are chiefiy explanations of difficult phrases or complicated constructions, short, and always to the purpose. Egmont and IpM- genia form a good and appropriate intro- duction to the study of German literature. The former is an instance of a modem tragedy written by a great poet, and yet capable of beiaig acted with success. The latter, in its majestic and severe beauty, will, as Schiller said of it, never cease to be read and admired.* The Scotsman. IV. LESSING'S price 2s. 6d, MINNA VON BAENHELM, - Lessing's Minna von Bamhelm will amply repay the perusal pf English students of German, for whom all difficulties are effectually smoothed by the Notes in this edition. Sometimes they seem scarcely called for, but they are always good, the renderings being in the purest English.' ATHENE QM. * This play is another of the excellent series which Mr, Oppen is now editing, and is characterised by the same careful and judicious annotations to which we have before borne testimony. An eminently favourable specimen of Lesbing's genius, it is also remarkable as one of the earliest productions of the German drama wherein a national subject furnishes the ground- work of the plot,' Educational Times. ' This is another of the Series of German Classics which Mr. Oppen is editing with English notes for the use of schools. It well maintains the high character which its predecessors have established. The Notes, explanatory and historical, are terse and clear, furnishing real aid in cases of difficulty. An Intboduction p^ves a brief well-written account of Egmont'b times and of the events in which he played such a noble part, Mr. Oppen is doing good service alike to schools and privalie learners by bringing scholastic judgment and taste to the illustration of the greatest works of German literature.'

Anybody who will read- this volume through, and thoroughly appreciate its rich contents, may be sure that he has a true sense of the inmost essence of poetry." BOSTON COURIER. " It is an exquisite gem of a book in print, paper, and binding. Its intrinsic merits are not less ; for we hold it to be, on the whole, the very best selection of poetry, for its size, in the lan- guage. There is not a poem in it which is not of enduring merit'* NEW YORK INDEPENDENT. " Among all tiie books of this new era of elegance, two have been on -the whole distindlly the most beautiful, namely, De Tocqueville's Democracy in America, and the present ' Golden Treasury.* Both are better manufactured books than England can show ; for although it is true that the materials for both were in part imported, yet the deft touch of American fingers, the keen sight and judgment and * faculty' of American eye and brain, impart a fmish and an altogether (this is much better than to steal ' tout ensemble ' from the wicked Emperor} which John Bull's big, thumby fingers can in no wise attain unto. We recommend attention to the singularly clear and elegant cut of the type, more particularly in the exquisite nonpareil of rfie notes ; the perfetSt clearness and evenness of the press-work ; the workmanlike finish and tasteful design of the binding, entirely simple, yet ornamental in the best sense ; and the sharp delicacy in design and impression of the engraved tail-pieces and head- pieces. 2 THE CHILDREN'S GARLAND FROM THE BEST POETS SELECTED AND ARRANGED By COVENTRY PATMORE i6mo. Red Vellum. Vignette Title engraved by Marsh. Price, $ 1.75. - LONDON MORNING POST. "It includes specimens of all the great masters in the art of Poetry, seledled with the matured judgment 6f a man con- centrated on obtaining insight into the ifeeiings and tastes of childhood, and desirous to awaken its finest impulses, to cul- tivate its keenest sensibilities." CINCINNATI GAZETTE. "The University Press at Cambridge has turned out many wonderful specimens of the art, but in exquisite finish it has never equalled the evidence of its skill which now lies before us. The text, compared with the average specimens of modem books, shines out with as bright a contrast as an Elzevir by' the side of one^ of its din^ and bleared contemporaries. In the quality of its paper, in its vignettes and head-pieces, the size of its pages, in every feature that can gratify the eye, indeed, the ' Garland ' could hardly bear improvement. Similar in its gen- eral getting up to the much-admired Golden Treasury of English Songs and Lyrics, issued by the same publishers a few months since, it excels, we think, in the perfection of various minor details," NEW YORK WORLD. " It is a beautiful book, — the most beautiful in some respedts that has been published for years ; going over a large number of poets and wide range of themes as none but a poet could have done. A choice cabinet of precious jewels, or better stiU, a dainty wreath of blossoms, — ' The Children's Garland.' " BOSTON TRANSCRIPT. " It is in all respects a delicious volume, and will be as great a favorite with the elder as with the younger members of every family into which it penetrates.

" The volume before us is an attempt to restore and purify the sacred lyrics of. the English language, and to give them without regard to creeds, but only with reference to their poetic excel- lence and their religious purity. It contains the choicest hymns which have been written, gathered 'from, all sources, whether lay or clerical, and judged only by pure religion and a high poetic standard. In all cases where it is known, the authorship is given. The selections are admirable, the arrangement suggestive, and the mechanical adornments of the book aire exquisite. It is enriched with copious amd valuable notes and indexes of authors, first lines, and subjects. " BALTIMORE LUTHERAN OBSERVER. " The Book of Praise is a gem in the book-making line ; printed with exquisite taste and delicacy of deiiign, on tinted paper,^ illu5ti:ated With those dainty devices, .half arabesque, half gothic, Vfhich.give a mellow aroma, as of old books, to the head and tail pieces, and bound even more faultlessly than -printed, it lies on one's table like a delicate and graceful flower, or some rare print or rich jewel.

NEW YORK METHODIST. "This is in everyway an attractive, book. First, it is agreeable to find Sir Roundell Palmer, the British Attorney-Genera], in- terested in such k work as compiling a book of the most spirited and evangelical hymns in the English language. Then it is agreeable to know that the compiler's taste corresponds so de- cidedly with one's own. And finally, it is pleasant to find the publishers conceiving so .wotthily of their task, and presenting these sacred lyrics of the Christian Church in so graceful and chaste a form .before the public eye."

[One, of these minds prodjiced the Paradise Lost; theother^ the Pilgrim^s Prv£ress."^-^1AKtAi3i.A.\. BOSTON TRAVELLER. " We believe the Pilgrim's Progress to be as original a work as ever was written. It has gone through numerous editions^ many of which have appeared in this country ; and this Cambridge edition — which has the merit of coming from the Uijiversity Press — is incomparably the best of which we can boast, _ Tt has the advantage of that combination of modern typographical lux- uries and regard for original peculiarities that is now becoming common, and which in this, instance is another proof of Bunyan's immense popularity. When an author becomes ornamental as well as useful, his position may be considered secure ; and it is many years since the Pilgrim's Progress became the property of artists, a book on which they could profitably display their skill." WORCESTER SPY. " If John Bunyan could have foreseen that his immortal alle- gory would one day come into the world from the University Press, Cambridge, it would have consoled him for many of the trials he encountered on his steep and thorny road to heaven. ' But he was not a man of great worldly sagacity ; as he says in his apology for his book, — * When at first I took my pen in hand Thus for to write, I did not understand That I at all should make a little Book In such a mode.' "The Book is one of the Golden Treasury Series, with a vignette title and illustrations by Stothard, bound in vellum, and exquisitely printed. No books are now published which approach so near to perfection in the art of printing as the books belonging to this elegant series," THE PRESBYTERIAN. * A beautiful and tasteful edition of the 'inimitable dreamer,' a book which can never be multiplied too much, or too richly adorned by the printer's and engraver's arts." '. ST. JOHNS GLOBE. "The *Pilgrim*s Progress' is a production which, whilst it grows mellow with age, never loses its freshness. Nearly two hundred years have elapsed since it was sent forth to the world, but it is as generally read now, and exercises as powerful an influ- ence, as it did when the author first published it." s A BOOK OF GOLDEN DEEDS OF ALL TIMES AND ALL LANDS GA-riTERED AND NARRATED BY THE AUTHOR OF THE " HEIR OF REDCLYFFE." i6mo.

"The volume is made up of charmingly written narratives of sweet and noble deeds in ancient and modem times, of those in humble and in high stations, in all lands. A touch of kindness makes the world kin. T^e deeds celebrated are not those of mere daring or adventiue, but such as are golden in the best sense. They are tales of land and sea, of what courageous hearts have done and suffered for principle and humanity." SPRINGFIELD REPUBLICAN. " On the title-page is the figure of Florence Nightingale, * the ladv with a lamp,* but most of the golden deeds recounted are gathered from the past, gleaming through lapse of time as stars through space The book is fiill of the noblest lessons, and charms alike the eye and the heart." BOSTON POST. " The authoress has trodden upon well worn paths, but green fields and flowei^ spring up in her footsteps. She narrates old stories, but they seem new m her handling. She does not write a dull cold narrative : by a few touches, by incident and conclu- sions, she makes the records of these great events the source of inspiration to the young and ambitious. 6 THE JEST-BOOK THfc CHOICEST ANECDOTES AND SAYINGS SELECTED AND ARRANGED By mark lemon i6mo.

Mark Lemon gives_ us the resist of his recon- dite searches and seizures in the regions of infinite jest. -Like all good- jesters, he has the quality of sound philosophy in him, and of reason also, for he discriminates closely, and serves up his wit with a deal of refinement in it." HARTFORD PRESS. " So exquisitely is the book printed, that every jest in it shines like a new ^old. dollar. It is the apotheosis of jokes There is jollity enough in it to keep the whole American press good humored." PROVIDENCE JOURNAL.

By this single * Lemon ' we judge of the rest." CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE. " This little volume is a very agreeable provocative of mirth, and as such, ^t will be useful in driving dull care away." ST.

" All the selections are in harmony with the general sbirit 0/ the volume, while sprinkled here and there are many dear, old, familiar hjrmns, which we heard sung in childhood by voices now forever stilled, and which we hope to hear till they are lost on 'the dull cold ear of death.' Such pieces sanctify any collec- tion. Hence we bid it God speed? ; Let it po on its WRiy singing the songs of abetter world in the ears of this wicked generation. As for the getting up of this volume, it is in such perfect taste that not Oxford or Paternoster Row can show anything more ex<^uisite. It is well it is so, for beautiful forms are the fitting shrine for thoughts of such purity as have less of earth than of heaven." METHODIST. " So rich and complete is the volume, that there is scarcely a ■subject to which reference is not made.

By FRANCIS BOWEN, ALFORD PROFESSOR OF MORAL PHILOSOPHY IN HARVARD UNIVERSITY. I2m0. Cloth, $ 2.CX}. THE PUBLISHERS' CIRCULAR. "There was great nepd for just such a book as this. Whate- ly's Logic is too old for the present state of the science, and the great work of Mill deals- more with applied and concrete thought than with the abstract laws of pure thought Professor Bowen's work is fully up to the modem state of ^e science. It embodies the results reached by Hamilton, Mansel, Thomson, De Morgan, Boole, Mill, and others, who, within the last quarter of a century, have given a new impetus to the study of the laws of thought and the theory of logical forms. The labors of Keiswetter, Fries, Bencke, Dressier, Drobisch, and others among the Germans, have also been placed under contributioh. We have thus a man- ual for collegiate study and for thfc perusal of professional and educated minds, which will initiate them into the most recent investi^tions. We should very much like to see the work intro- duced into our institutions for advanced instruction." THE ROUND TABLE. " There has been in our language an open field and a pressing demand for a treatise of the character which Professor Bowen has sought to provide. We are glad that he has been induced to meet this demand. We are glad, also, to find that he has met it so well. A simple inspection of the well-conceived and well- arranged table of contents is sufficient to convince any one who is conversant with the subject, and with other treatises, that the n author has been very judicious in the selection of his leading themes and in the general outline of his subordinate divisions. We can confidently pronounce this work to be scholar- like and thorough in its character, and most honorable to the distinguished position and reputation of its respected author." JJEW-ENGLANDER. "The plan of Professor Bowen is more comprehensive than that of any of the works which we have named. The execution is in many respects deserving of high commendation, as we should expect it would be from the well-known ability, thorough- ness, and industry of the author." ZION'S HERALD.

Collected, Arranged, and Abridged for the Use of Colleges and Pri- vate Students. By Francis Bowek, A. M., Alford Professor of Moral Philosophy in Harvard College. 12mo. Cloth. Price, $ 2.00. The publishers take pleasure in stating that this work has met with great favor, and has already been introduced as a text-book in all the principal colleges and institutions of learning in the country. Extract from the Editor^s Preface. " As any course of instruction in the Philosophy of Mind at the present day must be very imperfect which does not comprise a tolerably full Tiew of Hamilton's metaphysics, I have endeavored, in the present volume, to prepare a text-book which should contain, in his own language, the substance of all that he has written upon the subject. For this purpose, the * Lectures on Metaphysics ' have been taken as the basis of the work ', and I have freely abridged them by striking out the repetitions and redundancies in which they abound, and omitting also, in great part, the load of citations and references that they contain, as these are of inferior interest except to a student of the history of philosophy, or as marks of the stu- pendous erudition of the author." The Rev. Dr. Walker j late President of Harvard Vnwersiti/, in a note to the editor, says of the book : " Having examined it with some care, I cannot refrain from congratulating you on the success of the undertaking. You have given the Metaphysics of Sir William Hamilton in his own words, and yet in a form admira- bly adapted to the recitation-room, and also to private students." Prof. J. Torrey, University of Vermont. " The editor has left scarcely anything to be desired. The work presents in short compass the Philosophy of Sh- W. Hamilton, in his own language, more completely and satisfactorily tban many students would find it done by the author himself in the whole series of his voluminous and scattered productions." From the North American Review. " Mr: Bowen's eminence as a scholar, thinker, and writer in this department, his large experience as a teacher, and his experimental use of the ' Lectures ' as a text- book, might have ^ven the assurance, which he has fully verified, that so delicate an editorial task would be thoroughly, faithfully, and succeasfuHy performed. "We cannot doubt that if Six William were still living, the volume would have his cor- dial imprimatur ; ai/d the students of our colleges are to be congratulated that the- labors of the great master of Metaphysical Science are now rendered much more availing for their benefit, than they were made, perhaps than they could have been made, by his own hand," 5 THE PANEGYEICUS OF ISOCRATES. Prom the Text of Bkemi, with English Notes by C. C. Felton, LL.D., late Eliot Professor of Greek Literature in Harvard University. Third Edition. Revised. 12ino. pp. 135. Price, $1.00. — • — Extract Jrom the Preface. 't The Fanegyricus has been selected for publication, partly because it is an ex- cellent specimen of the best manner of laocrates, and partly because, by its plan, it presents a rsTiew of the history of Athens from the mythical ages down to the period following the treaty of Antalcidas. It is a conTenient work to make the text-book for lessons in Greek history,' affording a central point around which to assemble the leading events." From the Commonwealth. " The Panegyrlcus of Isocrates, edited by the late President Felton, of Harvard University, has just appeared in a new edition revised by Professor Goodwin, the successor of Mr. Felton in the Greek chair at that University. The oration itself is as familiar to all scholars as the best of the twenty-one extant speeches of Milton's ^ old man eloquent.' It is an encomium on Athens, her material, intellectual, and moral greatness, and her claims to the uhit^ place among the Grecian States. De- livered or published at a time when the Spartan supremacy was almost unciues- tioned, — before the brilliant campaigns of Epaminondas had broken the charm of the Lacedemonian name, — it is a fine compend of the mythical and the authentic history of the Attic Commonwealth and far superior in truth of matter and graces of style to the Funeral Oration of Lysias, on a kindred theme. In Isocrates, in- deed, Grecian rhetoric, as distinguished from oratory, reached its perfection, and few writers in any tongue have excelled him in clear and splendid diction. The nervous and manly style of Demosthenes may be contrasted with it ; the one had the elegance of a writer, the other the trenchant force of a popular orator. •* The Panegyricos was the Fourth of July Oration of the Athenians. But this of Isocrates is, by way of eminence, the Panegyrlcus. It is here printed by Sever, Francis, & Co. in the Greek text, with copious English notes by Mr, Felton, who delighted to pour out on his readers the wealth of historic and illustrfttive learning which he possessed. The pritical skill, which he was less fond of displaying, is in this edition supplied by the diligence of Professor Goodwin, whose work on Greek Syntax has already made him a high authority in matters of construction and dis- puted Texts. " The volume before us is neatly printed, and does credit to the publishers as well as to the editors." From the Bibliotheca Sacra, " Messrs. Sever, Francis, & Co., CambridRe, have published a new edition of the Panegyricua of Isocrates. The present edition is edited by Professor Goodwin, «f Harvard University, who has added grammatical and other notes, whirh (rive in- creased value to the volume. The Panegyricus is one of the best specimens of Isocrates ; and the apparatus furnished in this attractive addition will fully meet the wants of the student." THE CLOUDS OF ARISTOPHANES. With Notes hy C. C. Felton, LL. D., late Eliot Professor of Greek Literature in Harvard University. 12mo. Fifth Edition, pp. 236. Price, $1.50. —4 — * Extract jrom. the Preface. " The greatness of the genius of Aristophanes is not generally appreciated, and the value of his comedies aa illustrations of the political antiquities, the life, morals, and manners of Athens, is not fally understood. The truth is^ we are indebted to him for information upon the working of the Attic institutions, which, had all his plays been lost, we should have vainly sought for in the works of other authors. No intelligent reader can doubt that Aristophanes was a man of the most profound acquaintance with the political institutions of his age, no reader of poetic fancy can fail to see that he possessed an extraordinary creative genius. It is im- possible to study his works attentively , without feeling that his was one of the mas- ter minds of the Attic drama. The brightest flashes of a poetical spirit are con- stantly breaking out from the midst of the broadest merriment and' the sharpest satire. An imagination of endless variety informs those lyrical passages which gem his works, and are among the most precious brilliants of the Greek language. In the drawing of characters his plays exhibit consummate skill The comedy of the Clouds is, fur many reasons, one of the most interesting remains of the theatrical literature of Athens. Though, like every, other comedy, its wit turns upon local and temporary relations, it has, what ia not common to every other comedy, a moral import of permanent value. It was written at a time of great changes in the national character of the Greeks, and bears marks of its author's determined opposition to the new ethical and philosophical views that were eating into the very heart of the national virtues." Preface to the Fourth Edition. " In this new edition of the Clouds the commentary haa been revised, corrected, and in some ins^ances enlarged. An Appendix to the N^otes has been added, con- taining references to Professor Goodwin's * Syntax of Moods and Tenses of the Greek Verb,' a work which has already taken its place among the moat valuable aids to the student in acquiring a knowledge of- the refinements of the Greek lan- "The Clouds is one of the three or four pieces of Aristophanes which are least tainted with indecency and coarseness. Nothing therefore has been omitted from the text of this edition, as but little danger is apprehended to the morals of young men from a few freaks of an old Athenian's gamesome imagination, to he interpreted only by an assiduous use of the grammar and lexicon The text of this edition of the Clouds is printed from Dindorrs Poptro Scenici Graeci. In some few passages the readings of Hermann have been preferred. In thtf prepara- tion of the Notes, the labors of others have been freely used, particularly the elegant commentaries of that elegant Hellenist, Mr. Mitchell, whose editions of the separate comedies, notwithstanding occasional ermra' in minute points of Greek grammar, are an honor to English scholarship. The excellent edition of the Clouds by Thendor Kock has been consulted, and valuable remarks have occasionally been taken fmm his Commentary Some of thg matfrial" of the notes and illus- trations have been drawn from the editor's personal observations in Greece ; others are drawn from the curious analogies of the follies and impostures flourishing in the present day, with those effectively and wittily handled by the poet." THE BIRDS OF AEISTOPHANES. With Notes by C. C. Fei-ton, LL. D., latp Eliot Professor of Greek Literature in Harvard University. Third Edition. Revised. 12mo. pp. 235. Price, $ 1.50. Extract from the Prtfaee. " The Birds of AristophaDes has always been regarded as one of his most delight- ful pieces. Like the Clouds, it is comparatively free from the objectionable license of thought and language which deforms several of his plays to such a degree that they cannot be nsed in schools and collegea. It is true there are some passages in this play also too freely executed; but it has been decided, on mature reflection, to let them stand, so as to offer the drama entire, on the principles which guided my decision in editing the Clouds. The text of this edition is reprinted from the Poetffi Scenici of Dindorf. .... I have endeavored to explain from other sources a branch of the subject to which little attention has heretofore been given-, — I mean the natural history of the birds, which are very entertaining figures among the per- f;ons of the play. I suspected that the poet's selection of birds was not nuide at random, but that, in every instance, they were chosen with a special meaning, and to effect a particular purpose in point of art. In considering the play from this point of view, I have been much indebted to my friend and colleague, Professor Agassiz, of whose profound and comprehensive knowledge of ornithology I have been permitted to avail myself in attempting to determine the species of some of the birds not hitherto identified; and I have come to the conclusion that, in all cases, the character and habits of the birds are exactly and curiously adapted to the parts they perform in the comedy, showing Aristophanes to have been a careful observer of nature as well as a consummate poet Great care has been taken to ilins- trate the political illusions, and the application of judicial expressions, in the course of the piece The satire of the birds is more playful, comprehensive and genial than that of any other of the poet's comedies. The spirit of parody and burlesque, which is a general trait in tiie Aristophanic drama, here displays itself most freely and amusingly. ** The dithyrambic poets m general are nnspariogly ridiculed ; the philosophers and men of science are not allowed to pass untouched ; while profligates and im- postors of every class and deviiption are hero as well as in the ' Clouds,' held up to Bcom and contempt." From Prof. North of Hamilton College. " President Felton had intellectual g^fts and attainments which especially fitted him for the difficult work of editing Aristophanes. His edition of the * Birds of Aristophanes,' published by Sever, Francis, & Co., is worthy to be more generally introduced among the Qreek Studies in the colleges of our country." 8 CICERO'S TUSCULAN DISPUTATIONS. Book First : The Dream of Scipio, and Extracts from the Dialogues on Old Age and Frieadship. With English Notes by Thomas Chase, A. M. Seventh Edition, pp.208. Price, $ 1.25. Extract from the Prtfaee. " Together with the first book of the Tusculan Disputations, the editor has here presented the Somnium Scipionis, and extracts from the dialogues De Seoectute and De Amicltia; thus combiuing all the passages ia the works vf Cicero in which the question of the Immortality of the Soul is discussed. Besides the intrinsic inter- est and value of these treatises as containing the maturest decisions of old philosophy upon a question of universal and nearest concern, they are adorned with a grace of style and happiness of illustration characteristic of their author and worthy of their subject None of the philosophical works of Cicero holds a higher rank than the Tusculan Disputations for beauty of language and elevation of sentiment; in the Dream of Scipio the lively narrative and poetic coloring enhance the admiration which the loftiness of its views cannot fail to excite; and the dialogues on Old Age and Friendship have always been regarded as treasures of thought and models of composition The text of the book of the Tusculan Disputations is founded chiefly upon the admirable editions of Moser and Suhner; but those of Orelli, Nobbe, and Tischer have been compared on every passage, and various old editions consulted in doubtful cases The Notes are designed to call attention to the most important pecultarities of construction, and to explain the most serious diffi- culties of syntax and interpretation, without the injustice to the student of robbing him entirely of the pleasure and advantage of surmounting obstacles by his own un- aided effort. Particular attention has been given to the illustration of the subjunc- tive mood ; and it is believed that there is not in the book an instance of its use where the principles upon which it depends have not been set forth, in words or by references, in some part of the notes. Every teacher will acknowledge the pro- priety of devoting especial labor to the elucidation of a form that conveys so many delicate shades of meaning, and upon which so much of the beauty and expressive- ness of the Latin language depends. On this point, as on many others, great assistance has beeti derived from the Latin Grammar of Madvig, whose translator, Mr. Woods ^Oxfordf 1849), has rendered a service to English scholarship by making an admirable treatise accessible, which bears the marks, on every page, of the discernment and clearness of a master mind. From this work large quotations are made in the notes. The derivation and force of the particles — a point whoso elucidation is of hardly less importance than that of the subjunctive for a correct understanding of the language — have also received attention, particularly in the notes on the Somnium Scipionis, Cato Major, and Laelius. The biographical notes are designed rather as guides to the Classical Dictionary than complete descriptions. Frequent reference has been made to Zumpt'a Grammar, Beck's Latin Syntax, A ndrews and Stoddard's Latin Grammar, and the American Translation of Freund's Lexicon." HOEACE. The Works of Horace. With English Notes by the Rev. Ahthuk MacleanEj a. M., Head Master of King Edward's School, Bath. Revised and Edited by RsGiifALB H. Chase, A. M. 12mo. Cloth. Price, $1.75. This edition of Horace is substantially the same with the Ahriclg;ni ent of the celebrated edition of Macleane in the "Bibliotheca GlasBtca," only snch changes havifig been made in the notes as i^eemed necessary to adapt them to the use of - students in the colleges and schools of the Uoit^d States. The Arguments of the Odes have been introduced from the larger work-, aod Br. Beck's Introduction to the Metres has been appended to the Notes. The text is the same as in the larger edition. There may be found some little changes in the respect of interpretation, but not such as to cause any embarrass- ment to those who may happen to consult both editions. Discussions respecting the various readings have been omitted ; the information and assistance contained in the Introductions have been for the most part condensed and transferred to the Notes. A few more passages have been translated, and some notes have been added which were not thought necessary in the larger edition. General remarks have been almost entirely omitted, as well as discussions on disputed points and the various opinions of other editions. The high charact«r of the English edition of Macleane, as well as the skill of the American Editor in his preparation of the work, have rendered the present edition highly acceptable in the various colleges and seminaries where it has come into use. CICERO PRO CLUENTIO. M. T. Ciceronis pro A. Cluentio Habito Oratio ad Judices ; with Eng- lish Notes by A. Sticknet, A. M., late Professor of Latin in Trinity College. 12mo. Cloth, pp. 144. Price, $1.00. Extract from the Preface. " The present edition of Cicero pro Cluentio is intended as a text-book for college use. The Notes are designed to supply the student only with such information in ref:pect to the facts of the case and the scope of the argument as is necessary to the proper understanding of the Oration. Grammatical peculiarities are also noticed to a considerable extent, especially in the earlier part of the Oration. '■'■ The text was already printed before the editor undertook the preparation of the notes. It is simply a reprint of that of Elotz, as it appears in the Teubner edition, published at Leipzig. In a few cases various readings have been given in the notes, where they afforded aid in the explanation of any particular passage. The editions consulted in the preparation of the notes are those of Professor Kamsay, Glasgow, 1858} of Elotz, Leipzig, 1835 - 39, of Classen, Bonn, 1831; of George Long, London, 1855) of Garatoni, Naples, 1789, and the Commentary of Manutius. The gram- mars referred to are those of Zumpt, Madvig, and Andrews and t^toddard. The references are, however, almost entirely to Zumpt, as there is at present no gen- erally accessible edition of Madvig. An Introduction and an outline of the Speech are prefixed, with the sections numbered for the purpose of reference iu the notes.*' 10 SELECTIONS EfiOI MODERN GREEK WRITERS. In Prose and Poetry. "With Notes by C. C. Felton, LL. D., late Eliot Professor of Greek Literature in Harvard University. 1 2mo. Cloth, pp. 214. Price, $1.25. Extract from thp. Preface^ " The object of this little volume is to place in the hands of Greek students in the Umted States a book which may exhibit the present state of the Greek language, as TTTitten and spoken by cultivated men, and the character of the popular language as exhibited in those simple and beautiful poems, the Klephtic ballads and the festive songs of Christopoulos. The selections have been made with particular reference to the history and condition of Greece. I have limited myself to a ftivr authors, and have taken only passages beariDg upon the subject and having an interest and value of themselves. Of the numerous' discourses delivered on various occasions, I have selected only two. Both, I think, are diatinguislied for their eloquence and the great interest that attaches to the memory of those whom they commemorate. Their authors are among the most eminent of the living Greeks. .... The few Klephtic ballads here offered to the reader are such as exhibit the tone of thought and feeling among the simple and hardy people iu the midst of whom they spontaneously sprang up ; or such as celebrate heroes and heroic acts during the Turkish domination and the war of the devolution. On account of its historical importance, as well as its martial spirit, I regarded the War-Song of Bhegas as a fitting close to these strains of native poetry. The grace and gayety of Christopoulos. and his delicate poetical genjus, induced me to end the volume with - a few specimens of the anacreontic songs of this favorite author. The few notes at the end are intended only to explain words and phrases which cannot be easily made out by one familiar with the Ancient Greek, and with some Modern Greek Grammar, — as that of Mr. Sophocles. " The Greek, as spoken at the present day, is substantially the langu»ge that was spoken in the Alexandrine and Byzantine periods ; but there are important dis- tinctions between the ancient and modern, growing out of changes in the structure no less than modifications of the meaning of words. Nearly all the words now em- ployed by educated Greeks are the same that were used by their ancestoia } but the grammar of the language is modern The book is intended to be read in connection with the Ancient Greek ; and so reading it, the student will find few diflficnlties, except in the dialectic peculiarities of the popular poetry, or the titles of official and other persons, which, belong wholly to modern history." 11 A TEEATISE ON LOGIC ; Or The Laws of Pare Thought. Comprising both the Aristotelic and the Hamiltonian Analyses of Logical Forms. By Fhancis BowEN, Alford Professor of Moral Philosophy in Harvard Uni- versity. I2mo. Cloth. Price, $ 2.00. From the Round Tahle, •* We can confidently pronounce this work to be scholar-like and thorongli in its character, and most honorable to the distinguished position and reputaUon of its lespected author." From Zion-3 Herald. " As regards definition, clearness, and fnlness of statement of the various points •which make a complete scientific treatise, we think he has succeeded in producing a better text-book than any other before the American people." From Vie J^Tew Englander, " The plan of Professor Bowen is more comprehensiTe than that of Thomson, Hamilton, or Wilson. The execution is in many respects i^esernng of high com- mendation, as we should expect it to be, from the well-known ability, thorough- ness, and industry of the author.'* iiVom the Baptist Quarterly. " This work of Professor Bowen's presents the results of Ic^cal study, both in ancient and modern times, within a comparatively small compass, and with great discrimination and skill. He is thoroughly master of the science, and has digested all that bis predecessors have written; and from the diverse systems and opposing theories he has evolved a complete loidcal system, in which his own positive con- tributions appear with no inconsiderable prominen<"e and aid not a little in giving completeness and unity to the result. It is a work requiring to be studied with care and patience in order to arrive at the mastery of its reasonings and the full comprehension of the science as unfolded by Professor Bowen. The work here un- dertaken could hardly have fallen into more competent hands, and the volume promises to stand pre-eminent among treatises of its class." From the Bihliotheea Sacra, '*The present work is an index of the great progress which the science of Log^c has made, in this country and in England, during the last thirty years. Those who studied Prof. Hedge's Logic forty years ago, will scarcely recognize the same subject as it is treated in the present volume. The author has thoroughly studied the science in its present state of advancement, has incorporated into his volume what is common to the different systems, and reviews such questions as are still unsettled. The book will at once take its place as the best text-book on the sub- ject of which it treats. 12 THE GREEK HISTORIANS. SELECTIONS FROM THE GEEEK HISTORIANS. Arranged in the order of events.

Cloth- pp.192. Price, $ 2.25. ■ The work was undertaken at the suggestion of Prof. "Wolcott Gibbs, of Harvard University, and was executed under iiis immediate personal supervision. In reference to it he says : — " Dtariog the preparation of Mr. Pharples's work I have hatl repeated opportunities to observe the care and labor bestowed upon it. All the tables have been thoroughly revised, and the proof-sheets repeatedly read. -Whenever it was possible, the tables have been checked by di£fereociog. Of course it is impossible that auch a work should be iree from errors, but I believe that but few will be detected. Upon*the whole, I think that a work so conscientiously executed and so extensive will be found of real value to the working chemist." From Prof. B. SUliman, Yale CoUege, " I have examined with much satisfaction the copy of Sharples's ' Chemical Tar bles,' you were so good as to Sc^nd me. The work evinces care and discrimination in the selection and arrangement of the materials which cover a much wider range of topics than can be fouad in any other manual with which I am familiar. This ia especially true in those departments of Chemical Physics, in which such rapid progress has been made within a few years past, as to render Mr. Sharplrs's book a most acceptable addition to the library and lalwratory of every chemist, whether he be teacher or pupil." FVom Prof. S. H. Dot^lass, University of Michigan. " I have carefully examined the work, and am free to say that I consider it one of great value to the chemical student. Aside from new matter, it contains a large amount of material usually distributed through a great number of works, and fre- quently difidculb to find at just the time the student wants, even if he has a chemical library." From Prof O. N. Rood, Columbia College^ N. Y. " I have examined, with pleasure, the very extensive and valuable collection of Chemical and Physical Tables which you hjive lately published. "Their use will save the time and trouble that are now expended in hunting down the information contained in them through many volumes. " They will be found indispensable to those engaged in the pursuit of these sciences." From Prof. G. C. Caldwell, Agricultural College, Pa. "To the work itself (Chemical Tables, by S. P. Sharpies) I am glad to be able to give my hearty cnromendation. The idea was a capital one of thus bringing together, in a small hand-book, these tables, frhich are of great value to th° chemist, and which were scattered through many works, and not conveniently accessible to most, and not at all accessible to some. The work just meets a want of my own. I shall keep it alWHys within easy reach on my tablo, and shall introduce its use in my classes. I am confident that iu whatever way I may busy myself with chemistry, whether as a student or a practical chemist or a teacher of the science, I shall find the work iu question an exceedingly useful one." From Prof. G. J. Brush, Yale College. " I have examined the Chemical Tables with considerable care, and I consider the book the most complete collection of the kind that I am acquainted with, and Mi-. Sharpies has done a good service in thus bringing together so much valuable matter. The book shows careful editing, and will be invaluable to every working laboratory, "I thank you much for you courtesy in presenUng me with an early copy of the work." From Prof. M. Perkins, Union College,' N. T. " I beg leave to thank you for Mr. Sharples's Chemical Tables, and take pleasure in saying that I think them a very valuable collection, and shall take great pleasure in recommending them to my own students working in tlie laboracory. No practical chemist should be without them '' 14 mM^m^v':'^ I'i
