SALLUST.-CAII SALLUSTII CRISPI Catilina et Jugurtha. For use in Schools (with copious Notes). By C. MERIVALE, B.D. (In the present Edition the Notes have been carefully revised, and a few remarks and explanations added.) Second Edition. Fcap. 8vo. 4s. 6d.

TACITUS.-THE HISTORY OF TACITUS translated into ENGLISH. By A. J. CHURCH, M.A., and W. J. BRODRIBB, M.A. With Notes and a Map. 8vo. 10s. 6d.

The translators have endeavoured to adhere as closely to the original as was thought consistent with a proper observance of English idiom. At the same time it has been their aim to reproduce the precise expressions of the author. The campaign of Civilis is elucidated in a note of some length which is illustrated by a map, containing only the names of places and of tribes occurring in the work.

- A CONSTRUING BOOK. Fcap. 8vo. 2s. 6d.

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 in-
serted 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.

A LATIN GRADUAL. A First Latin Construing Book for
Beginners. Fcap. 8vo. 2s. 6d.

The main plan of this little work has been well tested.

The intention is to supply by easy steps a knowledge of Grammar, combined with a good vocabulary; in a word, a book which will not require to be forgotten again as the learner advances.

A short practical manual of common Mood constructions, with their English
equivalents, form the second part.

THUCYDIDES.—THE SICILIAN EXPEDITION. Being Books VI. and VII. of Thucydides, with Notes. A New Edition, revised and enlarged, with a Map. By the Rev. PERCIVAL FROST, M.A., late Fellow of St. John's College, Cambridge. Fcap. 8vo. 5s.

This edition is mainly a grammatical one. Attention is called to the force of compound verbs, and the exact meaning of the various tenses employed.

HELLENICA; Or, a HISTORY of GREECE in GREEK,
as related by Diodorus and Thucydides, being a First Greek
Reading Book, with Explanatory Notes Critical and Historical.
Second Edition, with a Vocabulary. 12mo. 3s. 6d.

In the last twenty chapters of this volume, Thucydides sketches the rise and
progress of the Athenian Empire in so clear a style and in such simple
language, that the author doubts whether any easier or more instructive
passages can be selected for the use of the pupil who is commencing
Greek.

A HELP TO LATIN GRAMMAR; Or, the Form and Use of Words in Latin, with Progressive Exercises. Crown 8vo. 4s. 6d.

"Never was there a better aid offered alike to teacher and scholar in that
arduous pass.
The style is at once familiar and strikingly simple and
lucid; and the explanations precisely hit the difficulties, and thoroughly
explain them."-English Journal of Education.

THE SEVEN KINGS OF ROME. An Easy Narrative,
abridged from the First Book of Livy by the omission of difficult
passages, being a First Latin Reading Book, with Grammatical
Notes. Fcap. 8vo. 3s.

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.

A VOCABULARY AND EXERCISES on the "SEVEN
KINGS OF ROME." Fcap. 8vo. 2s. 6d.

The Vocabulary and Exercises may also be had bound up with "The Seven Kings of Rome," price 5s.

ELEMENTARY TREATISE ON PARTIAL DIFFEREN-
TIAL EQUATIONS. Designed for the use of Students in the
University. With Diagrams. Crown 8vo. cloth, 5s. 6d.

It is hoped that the methods of solution here explained, and the instances
exhibited, will be found sufficient for application to nearly all the important
problems of Physical Science, which require for their complete investiga-
tion the aid of partial differential equations.

POPULAR ASTRONOMY.
Cheaper Edition.

[ocr errors]

New and

Popular Astronomy in general has many manuals; but none of them supersede the Six Lectures of the Astronomer Royal under that title. Its speciality is the direct way in which every step is referred to the observatory, and in which the methods and instruments by which every observation is made are fully described. This gives a sense of solidity and substance to astronomical statements which is obtainable in no other way.' "-Guardian. ON SOUND and ATMOSPHERIC VIBRATIONS. With the Mathematical Elements of Music.

A TREATISE ON DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS. New and Revised Edition. Edited by I. TODHUNTER. Crown 8vo. cloth, 145.

The author has endeavoured in this Treatise to convey as complete an ac-
count of the present state of knowledge on the subject of Differential
Equations, as was consistent with the idea of a work intended primarily
for elementary instruction. The earlier sections of each chapter contain
that kind of matter which has usually been thought suitable to the beginner,
while the later ones are devoted either to an account of recent discovery,
or the discussion of such deeper questions of principle as are likely to pre-
sent themselves to the reflective student in connexion with the methods
and processes of his previous course.

THE CALCULUS OF FINITE DIFFERENCES.
8vo. cloth, 10s. 6d.

This work is in some measure designed as a sequel to the Treatise on
Differential Equations, and is composed on the same plan.

BEASLEY-AN ELEMENTARY TREATISE ON PLANE TRIGONOMETRY. With Examples. By R. D. BEASLEY, M.A., Head Master of Grantham Grammar School. Second Edition, revised and enlarged. Crown 8vo. cloth, 3s. 6d.

This Treatise is specially intended for use in Schools. The choice of matter has been chiefly guided by the requirements of the three days' Examination at Cambridge, with the exception of proportional parts in Logarithms, which have been omitted. About Four hundred Examples have been added, mainly collected from the Examination Papers of the last ten years, and great pains have been taken to exclude from the body of the work any which might dishearten a beginner by their difficulty.

By JAMES R. CHRISTIE, F.R.S., late First Mathematical Master at the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich. Crown 8vo. cloth, 8s. 6d. The Series of Mathematical Exercises here offered to the public is collected from those which the author has from time to time proposed for solution by his pupils during a long career at the Royal Military Academy; they are in the main original; and having well fulfilled the purpose for which they were first framed, it is hoped they may be made still more widely useful.

DREW-GEOMETRICAL TREATISE on CONIC SECTIONS. By W. H. DREW, M.A., St. John's College, Cambridge. Third Edition. Crown 8vo. cloth, 4s. 6d.

In this work the subject of Conic Sections has been placed before the student in such a form that, it is hoped, after mastering the elements of Euclid, he may find it an easy and interesting continuation of his geometrical studies. With a view also of rendering the work a complete Manual of what is required at the Universities, there have been either embodied into the text, or inserted among the examples, every book-work question, problem, and rider, which has been proposed in the Cambridge examinations up to the present time.

The object of the author in writing on this subject has mainly been to place it on a basis altogether independent of the ordinary Cartesian system, instead of regarding it as only a special form of Abridged Notation. A short chapter on Determinants has been introduced.
