N.B.-he keys to exercise-books are, as a rule, only supplied to authenticated teachers. But the private student will find little difficulty in obtaining them on assuring the publishers that he is a bonâ fide private student, and that the keys will be used only for the purposes of self-tuition. Should the publishers object, a letter should be addressed to the author, who, doubtless, on receiving a satisfactory assurance, will give the applicant authority to receive the desired keys. As a means to accuracy and as a test of progress such helps are indispensable to self-prepared candidates, and few authors will venture to withhold them. FIRST B.A. PASS EXAMINATION.-1872.

Si Addunt ad extremum omnia levius casura rebus divinis procuratis. enim nihil fit extra fatum, nihil levari re divina potest. Hoc sentit lomerus, quum querentem Jovem inducit, quod Sarpedonem filium a morte contra fatum eripere non posset. Hoc idem significat Graecus ille in eam sententiam versus: "Quod sorte paratum est, id summum exsuperat Jovem." Totum omnino fatum etiam Atellanio versu jure mihi esse irrisum videtur, sed in rebus tam severis non est jocandi locus Concludatur igitur ratio. Si enim provideri nihil potest futurum esse eorum quae casu fiunt, quia esse certa non possunt, divinatio nulla est. Sin autem idcirco possunt provideri, quia certa sunt et fatalia, rursus divinatio nulla est. Eam enim tu fortuitarum rerum esse dicebas. Sed haec fuerit nobis tamquam levis armaturae prima orationis excursio: nunc comminus agamus, experiamurque si possimus cornua commovere disputationis tuae. B. Si igitur neque deus est effector somniorum neque naturae societas ulla cum somniis neque observatione, inveniri potuit scientia, effectum est ut nihil prorsus somniis tribuendum sit, praesertim quum illi ipsi qui ea vident nihil divinent, ii qui interpretantur coniecturam adhibeant, non naturam, casus autem innumerabilibus paene saeculis in omnibus plura mirabilia quam in somniorum visis effecerit, neque coniectura, quae in varias partes duci possit, non numquam etiam in contrarias quidquam sit incertius. Explodatur haec quoque somniorum divinatio pariter cum ceteris. Nam, ut vere loquamur, superstitio fusa per gentes oppressit omniuni fere animos atque hominum imbecillitatem occupavit. Quod et in iis libris dictum est qui sunt de natura deorum, et hac disputatione id maxime egimus. Multum enim et nobismet ipsis et nostris profuturi videbamur, si eam funditus sustulissemus. Nec vero (id enim diligenter intelligi volo) superstitione tollenda religio tollitur. Nam et majorum instituta tueri sacris caerimoniisque retinendis sapientis est, et esse praestantem aliquam aeternamque naturam et eam suspiciendam admirandamque hominum generi pulcritudo mundi ordoque rerum caelestium cogit confiteri.

Junio et P. Clodio consulibus classes tamen interissent. 2. Verum sint sane ista Democritea vera: quando ea nos extis exquirimus? aut quando aliquid ejusmodi ab haruśpice, inspectis extis, audivimus? Ab aqua aut ab igni pericula monent: tum hereditates, tum damna denuntiant : fissum familiare et vitale tractant: caput iecoris ex omni parte diligentissime considerant: si vero id non est inventum, nihil putant accidere potuisse tristius. 3.
