MESSRS. MACMILLAN & Co. beg to call attention to the accompanying Catalogue of their EDUCATIONAL WORKS, the writers of which are mostly scholars of eminence in the Universities, as well as of large experience in teaching.

Many of the works have already attained a wide circulation in England and in the Colonies, and are acknowledged to be among the very best Educational Books on their respective subjects.

The books can generally be procured by ordering them through local booksellers in town or country, but if at any time difficulty should arise, Messrs. MACMILLAN will feel much obliged by direct communication with themselves on the subject.

Notices of errors or defects in any of these works will be gratefully received and acknowledged.

LIST OF EDUCATIONAL BOOKS.

CLASSICAL.

ÆSCHYLUS.-ÆSCHYLI EUMENIDES. The Greek Text, with English Notes, and English Verse Translation and an Introduction. By BERNARD DRAKE, M.A., late Fellow of King's College, Cambridge. 8vo. 7s. 6d.

The Greek Text adopted in this Edition is based upon that of Wellauer, which may be said in general terms to represent that of the best manuscripts. But in correcting the Text, and in the Notes, advantage has been taken of the suggestions of Hermann, Paley, Linwood, and other com

mentators.

ARISTOTLE.-ARISTOTLE ON FALLACIES; OR, THE SOPHISTICI ELENCHI. With a Translation and Notes by EDWARD POSTE, M.A., Fellow of Oriel College, Oxford. 8vo. 8s. 6d.

Besides the doctrine of Fallacies, Aristotle offers either in this treatise, or in other passages quoted in the commentary, various glances over the world of science and opinion, various suggestions on problems which are still agitated, and a vivid picture of the ancient system of dialectics, which it is hoped may be found both interesting and instructive.

"It is not only scholarlike and careful; it is also perspicuous.”—Guardian.

ARISTOTLE.-AN

INTRODUCTION

ΤΟ ARISTOTLE'S

By

RHETORIC. With Analysis, Notes, and Appendices.
E. M. COPE, Senior Fellow and Tutor of Trinity College, Cam-
bridge. 8vo. 14s.

This work is introductory to an edition of the Greek Text of Aristotle's
Rhetoric, which is in course of preparation.

"Mr. Cope has given a very useful appendage to the promised Greek Text;
but also a work of so much independent use that he is quite justified in his
separate publication. All who have the Greek Text will find themselves
supplied with a comment; and those who have not will find an analysis of
the work."-Athenæum.

CATULLUS.-CATULLI VERONENSIS LIBER, edited by R. ELLIS, Fellow of Trinity College, Oxford. 18mo. 35. 6d.

[ocr errors]

It is little to say that no edition of Catullus at once so scholarlike has ever appeared in England."-Athenæum.

"Rarely have we read a classic author with so reliable, acute, and safe a guide."-Saturday Review.

With an

CICERO. -THE SECOND PHILIPPIC ORATION. Introduction and Notes, translated from the German of KARL HALM. Edited, with Corrections and Additions, by JOHN E. B. MAYOR, M.A., Fellow and Classical Lecturer of St. John's College, Cambridge. Third Edition, revised. Fcap. 8vo. 5s.

A very valuable edition, from which the student may gather much both in the way of information directly communicated, and directions to other sources of knowledge."-Athenæum.

The

DEMOSTHENES.-DEMOSTHENES on the CROWN.
Greek Text with English Notes. By B. DRAKE, M. A., late
Fellow of King's College, Cambridge. Third Edition, to which
is prefixed ÆSCHINES AGAINST CTESIPHON, with English Notes.
Fcap. 8vo. 5s.

The terseness and felicity of Mr. Drake's translations constitute perhaps
the chief value of his edition, and the historical and archæological details
necessary to understanding the De Corona have in some measure been
anticipated in the notes on the Oration of Eschines. In both, the text
adopted in the Zurich edition of 1851, and taken from the Parisian MS.,
has been adhered to without any variation. Where the readings of
Bekker, Dissen, and others appear preferable, they are subjoined in the

notes.

HODGSON.-MYTHOLOGY FOR LATIN VERSIFICATION. A Brief Sketch of the Fables of the Ancients, prepared to be rendered into Latin Verse for Schools. By F. HODGSON, B. D., late Provost of Eton. New Edition, revised by F. C. HODGSON,

M.A. 18mo. 35.

Intending the little book to be entirely elementary, the Author has made it as easy as he could, without too largely superseding the use of the Dictionary and Gradus. By the facilities here afforded, it will be possible, in many cases, for a boy to get rapidly through these preparatory exercises; and thus, having mastered the first difficulties, he may advance with better hopes of improvement to subjects of higher character, and verses of more difficult composition.

JESSOPP-A MANUAL OF THE GREEK ACCIDENCE FOR THE USE OF BEGINNERS. By AUGUSTUS Jessopp, M.A., Head Master of King Edward the Sixth School, Norwich. Fcap. 8vo. 3s. 6d.

JUVENAL.-JUVENAL, FOR SCHOOLS. With English Notes. By J. E. B. MAYOR, M. A. New and Cheaper Edition. Crown [In the Press.

8vo.
"A School edition of Juvenal, which, for really ripe scholarship, extensive
acquaintance with Latin literature, and familiar knowledge of Continental
criticism, ancient and modern, is unsurpassed, we do not say among Eng-
lish School-books, but among English editions generally."-Edinburgh

Review.

ROBY.-AN ELEMENTARY LATIN GRAMMAR. By H. J. ROBY, M. A. New Edition. [In the Press.

18mo.

"It contains an amount of accurate and well-digested knowledge such as is often found wanting in works of much greater pretensions. We know no book which in so small a compass, and with so little parade, contains more sound knowledge of Latin."-Spectator.
