RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE ABOVE WORK.
We have had frequent occasion to speak
of the diligence, good sense, and good lnten-
tons, of Mr.. Murray and we congratulate
him sincerely on the success OF this particular
work We announce this edition, because the
alterations and additions are SO considerable,
that tits rendered almosta new work..
British Critic, July 1901.
e The examples which Mr.. Murray has here
selected and the judicious reflections which
accompany them, are such as can scarcely fail
to make the best impressions, and to produce
the best effects, on all who read them with at
tention. The present edition OF this excel
lent publication, has been long Known
and commended, is enlarged by the addition
OF. twenty-five new characters, hllinS nearly
one hundred pages"

ton of this valuable work. The improve
ments made in it, will appear from the authors

count Of the present useful volume, our hope
that it will be extensively circulated among
our countrymen.
The american Reuieqo e Literary Jsarnal,

Con reviewing this book, in its improved
