The design of this book is explained in its title, and the manner in which the author has carried out the plan so happily conceived, is shown by the following opinion, from one well qualified to judge. Rev. Dr. CHAMPLIN, formerly Professor of Latin and Greek in, and now President of, Waterville College, says:

"Permit me to say that, in my opinion, the Preparatory Latin Prose Book, by Mr. J. H. HANSON of Portland, is a work of great merit and much need in preparing for College. The long experience in teaching and excellent scholarship of Mr. Hanson have enabled him to adapt it most admirably to the wants of beginners. We have here in a single volume all the Latin prose with grammatical and philological notes and vocabulary required in preparing for college. The book cannot fail of being favorably received by classical teachers."

The publishers are constantly receiving similar endorsements of the work from those who have thoroughly examined it. A pamphlet, containing extracts from the book, with recommendations, will be sent if desired.

RICHARDS'S LATIN LESSONS. Latin Lessons and Tables, combining the Analytic and Synthetic Methods.

This little book has received the most unqualified commendation from many of the ablest Latin scholars and teachers in the county.

HENSHAW'S ANALYSIS. An Analysis of the Greek Verb. By MARSHALL HENSHAW, A. M., Professor in Rutgers College, New Brunswick, N. J. Price, 63 cents.

Professor JOHN J. OWEN, of the New York Free Academy, whose ability to judge of the work no one will question, says: I have given it a careful examination, and am free to express my opinion that a more valuable and timely aid to the free and perfect command of the various parts of the Greek Verb has not been furnished to the students of our country. The faithful and intelligent use of your Tables and Paradigms will be of the highest advantage to beginners in Greek. I shall not only recommend it to my own immediate classes, but to professors and students generally, as I may have opportunity. You deserve the thanks of the friends of classical learning for this valuable contribution to the study of the noblest of human languages."

Its authors are devoted to their profession, and their combined experience is brought to bear upon the system, improving upon it from time to time as it is found capable of improvement.
