THE publication of this edition of the Classics was suggested by the constantly increasing demand by teachers for an edition which, by judicious notes, would give to the student the assistance really necessary to render his study profitable, furnishing explanations of passages difficult of interpretation, of peculiarities of syntax, &c., and yet would require him to make faithful use of his Grammar and Dictionary. It is believed that this Classical Series needs only to be known to insure its very general use. The publishers claim for it peculiar 4 merit, and beg leave to call attention to the following important particulars: The purity of the texts. The clearness and conciseness of the notes and their adaptation to the wants of students. The beauty of the type and paper. The handsome style of binding. The convenience of the shape and size. The low price at which the volumes are sold. The preparation of the whole Series is the original work of American scholars. The texts are not mere reprints, but are based upon a careful and painstaking comparison of all the most improved editions, with constant reference to the authority of the best manuscripts. The Series, when complete, will consist of CÆSAR'S COMMENTARIES. Price, $1.25 CICERO DE SENECTUTE, et DE AMICITIA. In Preparation. 66 66 The books having the price affixed are now ready. Single copies will be sent by mail, post-paid, on receipt of the advertised price. Due notice will be given of the publication of the remaining volumes. The generous welcome given to these books, proves very conclusively that they are well adapted to the wants of the classroom. Already they have been adopted in every State in the Union, and the publishers have the proud satisfaction of stating that they are at this time the standard text-books in more than One t honsand Schools, and the number is daily increasing. Among these are many of the largest and most important classical institutions in the country. Circulars containing full descriptive notices of the different books of the Series will be sent to any address on application. 5 COMPOSITION AND RHETORIC. A Text-Book for Schools, Academies, and Colleges. By JOHN S. HART, LL. D., Principal of the New Jersey State Normal School. Price by mail, post-paid, $1.50. Dr. Hart has been engaged for at least one-third of a century in the practical duties of the school-room, and for years past has made a speciality of the subject of which the present volume treats. He thus brings to his work a full knowledge of the wants of both teacher and scholar in this important branch of education, and he has spared no pains to make the book eminently practical and adapted to use in the class-room. The peculiar features of the book are apparent, and, we believe, combine all the elements of a popular and successful text-book. The author's own style of composition, so remarkable for its rhetorical excellence, gives to his work the advantage of being on every page a model of what it teaches. The typographical arrangement is such as to please the eye, and, at the same time, enable the teacher to assign for memoriter exercises, only the more important rules, definitions, etc., leaving the argumentative and descriptive portions to be either committed to memory, studied in some more general way, or used as a reading or class exercise, as the teacher may deem most expedient. The great variety and copiousness of the "Examples for Practice" will, we are sure, commend the book to general favor. In this respect we believe it unequalled by any similar work heretofore published. FIRST LESSONS IN COMPOSITION. For Be ginners. By JOHN S. HART, LL.
