A Treatise on
Solid Geometry.

By PERCIVAL FROST, M.A.,

St. John's College, and JOSEPH WOLSTENHOLME, M.A., Christ's Coll. Cambridge. 472 pp. 8vo. cloth. 188. 1863.

The authors have endeavoured to present before students as comprehensive a view of the subject as possible. Intending as they have done to make the subject accessible, at least in the earlier portion, to all classes of students, they have endeavoured to explain fully all the processes which are most useful in dealing with ordinary theorems and problems, thus directing the student to the selection of methods which are best adapted to the exigencies of each problem. In the more difficult portions of the subject, they have considered themselves to be addressing a higher class of students; there they have tried to lay a good foundation on which to build, if any reader should wish to pursue the science beyond the limits to which the

work extends.

The Author here offers to those who are engaged in Classical Education a further help to the composition of Latin Verse, combined with a brief introduction to an essential part of the study of the Classics. The Author has made it as easy as he could so that a boy may get rapidly through these preparatory ex

(Leipzig, Weidmann, 1858), with some corrections from Madvig's 4th Edition (Copenhagen, 1858). Halm's Introduction has been closely translated, with some additions. His notes have been curtailed, omitted, or enlarged, at discretion; passages to which he gives a bare reference, are for the most part printed at length; for the Greek extracts an English version has been substituted. A large body of notes, chiefly grammatical and historical, has been added from various sources. A list of books useful to the student of Cicero, a copious Argument, and an Index to the introduction and notes, complete the book.

The Text is that of Halm's 2nd edition,

12mo. cloth. 2s. 6d.

The Author having been frequently urged to give a popular abridgement 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 enerally to a more intelligent use of the

"This School edition of Sallust is precisely what the School edition of a Latin author ought to be. No useless words are spent in it, and no words that could be of use are spared.

The Author's effort in these two books has been to point out the broad, beaten, every-day path, carefully avoiding digres sions into the byeways and eccentricities This Work took its rise of language. 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.

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.

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.

St. Paul's Epistle to the Romans.

The Greek Text with English Notes. Second Edition. Crown 8vo. cloth. (1861). 58.

By dedicating this work to his elder Pupils at Harrow, the Author hopes that he sufficiently indicates what is and what is not to be looked for in it. He desires to record his impression, derived from the experience of many years, that the Epistles of the New Testament, no less than the Gospels, are capable of furnishing

4th Edition.

70 pp. (1862). Fcp 8vo. 1s. 6d.

This work, originally prepared for the use of Harrow School, is published in the belief that it may assist the labours of those who are engaged in preparing candidates for Confirmation, and who find it difficult to lay their hand upon any one book of suitable instruction at once sufficiently full to furnish a synopsis of the subject, and sufficiently elastic to give free scope to the individual judgment in the use of it. It will also be found a handbook for those who are being prepared, as presenting in a compact form the very points whieh a lecturer would wish his hearers to remember.
