22 Mr. Murray's DR. WM. SMITH'S SMALLER HISTORIES. These Smaller Histories have been drawn up chiefly for the lower forms in Schools, at the request of several teachers, who require for their pupils more elementary books than the Student's Histories of England, Greece, and Rome. 1. A Smaller History of England. With 68 4. A Smaller Classical Mythology. With Transla tions from the Ancient Poets, and Questions on the Work. With 90 Woodcuts, 16mo, 3s. 6d. "The object of this work is to give a consecutive account of the Heathen Deities, which may safely be placed in the hands of the young, and which contains all that is necessary to enable them to understand the classical allusions they may meet with in prose or poetry."-Preface. 5. A Smaller Scripture History. With Woodcuts, 16mo, 3s. 6d. In preparation. 24 Mr. Murray's DR. WILLIAM SMITH'S LATIN COURSE. PRINCIPIA LATINA, PART I. A FIRST COURSE. Containing a Grammar, Delectus, Exercise-Book, 12mo, 3s. 6d. The main object of this work is to enable a Beginner to fix the Declensions and Conjugations thoroughly in his memory, to learn their usage by constructing simple sentences as soon as he commences the study of the language, and to accumulate gradually a stock of useful words. It presents in one book all that the pupil will require for some time in his study of the language. This Work, which contains a Grammar, Delectus, Exercisebook, and Vocabularies, has been pronounced by the "grinders o small boys" who have used it, to be by far the easiest and best book for beginners in Latin. PRINCIPIA LATINA, PART II. A READING-BOOK. Containing Fables, Anecdotes, Mythology, Geography, Roman Antiquities, and History. With Notes and a Dictionary, 12m0, 3s. 6d. This work is intended to furnish a Latin Reading-book suitable or beginners, sufficient in quantity while interesting and instructive n matter, and thus prepare the way for Cæsar or any other classical author. It is believed that it will not only prove interesting, but serve as an introduction to Ancient Mythology, Geography, Roman History, and Antiquities. It should be used in conjunction with the First Part of the "Principia Latina." As soon as the pupil has learnt thoroughly the Declensions and Conjugations, and can translate the simplest sentences, it is important to diversify the somewhat dry and tedious work of the Delectus and Exercise-book, by giving him connected passages containing interesting and instructive matter. 3. Prosody and Metre. 4. First Latin Verse-book. 12mo, 3s. 6d. This single volume contains subjects usually distributed over two or more separate works; and there can be little doubt that a pupil who has mastered it will have been well grounded in Latin verse, and thus be able to enter upon the study of Virgil and Ovid with greater advantage, than if he had attempted to read those authors without a similar preparatory training. PRINCIPIA LATINA, PART IV. PROSE COMPOSITION. Containing Rules of Syntax, with Examples, Explanations of Synonyms, and Exercises on the Syntax. 12mo, 3s. 6d. The object of this Work is to supply a series of progressive and systematic Exercises upon the principal rules of the Latin Syntax; there is also prefixed to each Exercise the Syntactical rules which the Exercise is designed to illustrate and enforce. At the beginning of each Exercise is given an explanation of Synonymous words, with passages in which they occur, so that the pupil may, at an early period in his studies, learn to discriminate their use and employ them correctly. At the end of the Work is an English-Latin Vocabulary, containing all the words occurring in the Exercises, in order that the pupil need not have recourse to a Dictionary or any other book in writing the Exercises. PRINCIPIA LATINA, PART V. Short Tales and Anecdotes from Classical History, for 12mo, 3s. This work has been added to the Series at the suggestion of the Rev. F. E. Durnford, Master of the Lower School, Eton, and in consequence of the desire expressed by many teachers for a short collection of easy and continuous narratives for translation into Latin Prose. It is in use at Eton, Harrow, and other Public Schools. 26 Mr. Murray's LATIN GRAMMARS. For the Upper Forms. The Student's Latin Grammar, by Wм. SMITH, LL.D. & THEOPHILUS D. HALL, M.A. New edition. Post 8vo, 6s. "This grammar is intended and well calculated to occupy an intermediate position between the large treatises of Zumpt and Madvig, and the numerous elementary school grammars prevalent amongst us. There are very few students who will require more information than is here supplied; and yet, by a skilful arrangement of the materials and typography, the volume is reduced to a very convenient size and form for practical use. The editor's good sense is visible throughout. When he cannot consult the requirements of strictly scientific method, or introduce modern improvements of nomenclature without doing such violence to established usage as to cause serious practical inconvenience, he refrains. At the same time he is not so wedded to existing customs as to retain anything positively erroneous, which the student must afterwards unlearn. Some useful remarks are added on the characteristic styles of the chief prose writers, and the appendix on the alphabet is full of suggestive information.”—Athenæum. For the Lower Forms. Dr. Wm. Smith's Smaller Latin Grammar, abridged from the above. 12mo, 3s. 6d. King Edward VI.'s First Latin Book. The Latin Accidence, Syntax, and Prosody, with a Translation. 12mo, 2s. 6d. King Edward VI's Latin Grammar. Latina Grammaticæ Rudimenta, or an Introduction to the Latin Tongue. 12mo, 3s. 6d. English Notes for Latin Elegiacs.
