copies have been sold within the last three years
The following ale selected from among numerous
recommendations for this work.
Ex,rac, from the American Journal of Education
Boston.
'Tn many schools in which Walkers Dictionary is u
sed by scholars of the middle class, has unaccoun
tably been customary to make USE in the youngest
class of spelling book entirely at war with aIker's
principles. This oversight is the cause of much trou
ble and much waste of time, in building up, and pull
ing down. and e-bulding-where the first effort
might erect perfect fabric at The spelling
book before us, IS intended to accomplish this object
OF its success we have doubt. The utmost care
other particulars which our limits will not permit
mention, presents equal merit The internal charac
ter of the book corresponds, in a respects to the
neatness and care of its execution"

Lessons in Greek Parsing or Outlines Of Greek
Grammer-Desgneda as an Introduction to the STUDIO
of the Greek Grammar, by c. A. Goodrich Professor
OF Rhetoric and Oratory in Yale College.
RECOMMENDATIONS
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 Parsng,
and cheerfuly 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 view, regard valuable introduction to the
study of Greek-preferable to any other with which
am acquainted. Yours, etc. A. STODDARD

From }. l.. Kingsley, Professor of the Hebrew, Greek
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: GA work of this kind has long been wanted in
schools; and il is believed that the present little
volume will supply the deficiency. The plan Of the
work is such as every teacher must approve 1t be-
gins with the pupil, by parsing easy sentences the
different parts Of speech separately, he learns their
infections, and leads him by easy progress of ap.
plying each rule of etymology and syntax, as he adj
grammar. The exercise in mutual translation add
much totheyalue of the work; experience sbund-
antG proves That these exercises be ntrodu-
ced at too early period in learning the la6guage"
