'ln many schools in which Walkers Dictionary is u
sed by scholars of the middle class, il has
tably been customary to make use, IN the Youngest
class, of spelling book entirely with Walkers
principles. This oversight is the of much trou
bic. and much of time, in building UP, and pull
ing down. and re-building-where the first effort
might erect perfect fabric at once. The spelling
book before IS intended to accomplish this OBJ Jec
OF it's success we have no doubt. The utmost care
has been bestowed its arrangement. In several
other particulars which limits will not permit us to
mention, it presents equal merit The internal charac
ter ot the book corresponds, in respects to the
. neatness and care Of its execution"

SUCH manner, as both to instruct and please the

Lessons in Greek Parsing or Outlines OF Greek
Grdmmer-Desgneda as III Int PRODUCTION to the studG
of the Greek Grammar, by C. A. Goodrich, Professor
of Rhetoric and oratory in Yale College.
From Mr.. Stoddart. teacher of Greek in the New Ha-
Gymnasium.
Messrs Durrie and Peck-In compliance with your
request Ihave examined lessons in Greek Parsing,'
and chrerfuly express my decided appreciation of
the plan and execution of the work Combining the
outlines of Greek and Grammar with appropriate
exercises upon the various reflections, it fail to
increase the interest, and facilitate the progress of
learners, in acquiring the elements of the language.
In this vew regard it a valuable introduction the
study of Greek-preterable to any other with which
am acquainted. Yours, etc. A. sToDDARD.

and Latin Languages in Yale College.

and agree with Mr. stoddard in his opinion of this
work. J. L. KINGSLEY.
Yale College. August 18th, 1929.
The Principal of the Utica Academy, writes as fol-
lows: 90 work Of this kind has long been wanted in
our schools and it is believed that the present little
volume will supply the deficiency. The plan of the
work is such every teacher must approve. IL be-
gins with the pupil by parsng in easy sentences the
different parts of speech separately he learns their
nne ctons, and leads him by easy progress of APP
plying each rule of etymology and syntax he adj
vanccs to a familiar and thorough knowledge Of the
grammar. The exercise in mutual translation add
much to the value of the work; experience abund-
antly proves that these cannot be introdu
ced at too early period in learning the language"
