"Dr. Wm. Smith's Dictionaries form an important element in our modern English scholarship. Probably no modern books have done so much to extend a knowledge of the researches and conclusions of the learned men of our time in the field of antiquity. If the Dictionaries to come are as well executed as their predecessors, the longer Dr. Smith continues to publish the better ordinary scholars will be pleased."-Guardian.

Dr. William Smith, once a student, and afterwards a master in this School and in this College, was in the course of last spring appointed to the distinguished position of one of the classical examiners to the University of London-appointed, I will say it to his honour, after fair and strict comparison with some scholars of the highest eminence in our nationa Universities of Oxford and Cambridge. It is an honour to this College to have presented to the world so distinguished a scholar as Dr. William Smith, who has, by his valuable manuals of classical antiquity and classical history and biography, done as much as any man living to promote the accurate knowledge of the Greek and Roman world among the students of this age. I trust that among those names which we have heard mentioned to-day, and to whom my honourable friend has given prizes, there may be found more than one who will aspire to emulate Dr. Wm. Smith's diligent and honourable course, and to render himself in future life the means of conveying to others that knowledge and instruction which he has received within these walls.-Mr. Grote's Address at the London University.

EDITED BY WM. SMITH, LL.D.

The object of this Work is to elucidate the Antiquities, Biography, Geography, and Natural History of the Bible, and to present, in a compact form, the researches of the most eminent divines and scholars.

"The work reflects the highest character upon its promoters, and imperatively demands a place upon the study table of every clergyman and of every thoughtful and intelligent student of the Bible. It must always remain in itself a most serviceable library of reference, and a standing monument of the learning, piety, and ability of our Anglican theologians."-Church of England Monthly Review.

By such a work as this, a knowledge of the Bible is brought within easy reach of all commonly well educated persons, and every man of intelligence may become his own commentator."-Times.

"Dr. Wm. Smith's Dictionary of the Bible could not fail to take a very high place in English literature; for no similar work in our own or in any other language is for a monient to be compared with it."-Quarterly Review.

A Concise Bible Dictionary for Families and

Students. Illustrations (1050 pp.) 1 vol., 8vo, 21s.

"This volume is so full and satisfactory that did it not appear as an abridgment it would be accepted as a full and complete Dictionary of the Bible."-Churchman.

Persons. With 6 Maps, 30 Illustrations, and numerous Woodcuts. (622 pp.) Crown 8vo, 7s. 6d.

"This work has been drawn up for the use of Schools, Sunday School Teachers, and young persons, and contains such an account as a young person is likely to require in the study of the Bible. In short, it seeks to render the same service to the study of the Bible as the Smaller Classical Dictionaries have done for the study of the Greek and Roman Classics in schools."-Editor's Preface.

"I have been for some time in the habit of using the Dictionaries of Antiquity and Ancient Biography, as well as the Dictionary of Ancient Geography, and I have no hesitation in saying, from my knowledge of them, that they are far superior to any other publications of the same sort in our language. They are works which every student of ancient literature ought to consult habitually, and which are indispensable to every person engaged in original researches into any department of antiquity."-Sir G. C. Lewis.

"I willingly bear testimony to the great value of your Dictionaries of Classical Antiquities, of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology, and of Greek and Roman Geography. I have had frequent occasion to consult these works, and have derived from them great assistance and instruction. In no other publications known to me is so much trustworthy information got together and rendered easily accessible for elucidating matters of fact connected with the history of Greece and Rome."-George Grote.

"The Dictionary of Greek and Roman Geography edited by Dr. William Smith is a work of so much utility to the study of ancient history, and of such general importance to classical education and the progress of knowledge, that its extensive circulation wherever the English language is spoken or read may confidently be anticipated."-Col. Leake.

"I have much pleasure in expressing the high estimate which I have formed of Dr. William Smith's many valuable works, which have been for some years past in general circulation."-Col. Mure.
