A SHORT AND EASY METHOD OF LEARNING A FOREIGN LANGUAGE BY A CLOSE INTERLINEAR TRANSLATION.

"The Hamiltonian System teaches an unknown tongue by the closest interlinear translation, instead of leaving the pupil to explore his way by the lexicon or dictionary. In fine, we are strongly persuaded, that the time being given, this system will make better scholars; and, the degree of Scholarship being given, a much shorter time will be needed. If there is any truth in this, it will make Mr. Hamilton one of the most useful men of his age; for, if there is anything which fills reflecting men with melancholy and regret, it is the waste of mortal time, parental money, and puerile happiness, in the present method of education."

"The Hamiltonian Method is excellent as a system."

Edinburgh Review.
Quarterly Review.

"The Hamiltonian System is the most extraordinary improvement in the method of instruction which the ingenuity of the human mind has hitherto devised. We ascribe to the Author of the Hamiltonian System exclusively the great merit of introducing translations made in invariable accordance with the principle of a strictly verbal analysis, and it is this peculiarity which renders them such invaluable instruments to the learner." Westminster Review.

Each book contains the Text as well as the analytical, interlineal, and

literal Translation.

CONSISTING OF

EUCLID'S ELEMENTS, BOOK I.

ACCOMPANIED BY NUMEROUS EXPLANATIONS, QUESTIONS, AND EXERCISES. BY JOHN WALMSLEY, B.A.

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.

"We cordially recommend this book. The plan adopted is founded upon a proper appreciation of the soundest principles of teaching. We have not space to give it in detail, but Mr. Walmsley is fully justified in saying that it provides for a natural and continuous training to pupils taken in classes.'"-Athenæum.

"The book has been carefully written, and will be cordially welcomed by all those who are interested in the best methods of teaching Geometry."-School Guardian. "Mr. Walmsley has made an addition of a novel kind to the many recent works intended to simplify the teaching of the elements of Geometry. The system will undoubtedly help the pupil to a thorough comprehension of his subject."-School Board Chronicle. "When we consider how many teachers of Euclid teach it without intelligence, and then lay the blame on the stupidity of the pupils, we could wish that every young teacher of Euclid, however high he may have been among the Wranglers, would take the trouble to read Mr. Walmsley's book through before he begins to teach the First Book to young boys."-Journal of Education.

"We have used the book to the manifest pleasure and interest, as well as progress, of our own students in mathematics ever since it was published, and we have the greatest pleasure in recommending its use to other teachers. The Questions and Exercises are of incalculable value to the teacher."-Educational Chronicle.

"This book is carefully done; has full extent of matter, and good store of examples.”— Athenæum.

"This is a carefully worked out treatise, with a very large collection of well-chosen and well-arranged examples."-Papers for the Schoolmaster.

"This is an excellent work. The proofs of the several propositions are distinct, the explanations clear and concise, and the general plan of arrangement accurate and methodical."-The Museum and English Journal of Education.

"The explanations of logarithms are remarkably full and clear.... The several parts of the subject are, throughout the work, treated according to the most recent and approved methods.... It is, in fact, a book for beginners, and by far the simplest and most satisfactory work of the kind we have met with."-Educational Times.

PUPILS' EXAMINATIONS.

The Examinations of Pupils are held twice in each year, early in June and December. The Higher Certificates of the College are recognised by Her Majesty's Judges and by the General Medical Council as guarantees of good general education; and consequently the holders of them who may be intended for the legal and medical professions are exempted from the necessity of submitting to the preliminary literary examinations held by the Incorporated Law Society, and by the various Medical Corporations of the United Kingdom. All the College Certificates above the Third are also recognised by the Royal Veterinary College and Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain.

The Certificates awarded on the results of these Examinations are of three Classes: 1. FIRST CLASS. Obligatory Subjects English Language, English History, Geography, Arithmetic, Algebra, Euclid, a Modern Foreign Language, and Latin. [In the case of Girl Candidates, Algebra, Euclid, and Latin may be replaced by three other subjects selected from the list of optional subjects given in the Regulations.]

2. SECOND CLASS. Obligatory Subjects-English Grammar, English History, Geography, Arithmetic, Algebra or Euclid, and a Foreign Language. [Girls may substitute another subject for Algebra or Euclid.]

3. THIRD CLASS. Obligatory Subjects English Grammar, English History, Geography, and Arithmetic.

There is no restriction as to age for either of the three classes.

Examination Fee: 10s. each Candidate (not including Local Fee).

A complete schedule of the marks obtained by the pupils in each subject of Examination is forwarded to principals. The Class List of successful Candidates is published in the Educational Times.

The papers set at the above Examinations may be had of the publisher, Francis
Hodgson, 89 Farringdon Street, E. C., price 6d. each Set.

PROFESSIONAL PRELIMINARY EXAMINATIONS. Examinations in the subjects of the Preliminary Literary Examinations required by the General Medical Council and other bodies by whom the College Certificates are recognised, are held in March and September in each year.
