Robert P. Keep has prepared volume of
Greek Lessons designed to accompany the
grammar of Hadley and Allen. The Les
sons serve a companion and guide to the
| grammar which has won for itself the posi-
ton of standard manual of the Greek Ian
guage. The system of Greek Lessons begins
and carries throughout the study of that
grammatical manual which will serve the
student to the end. The object of the vol
ume is to make the path to the acquaintance
of the new Hadley clear, sure and unneces-
sarily difficult, and well does it accomplish
its object. In the study of these Greek Les
sons the student is obliged to construct a
skeleton grammar for himself, and this
grammar he will have learned completely
when the lessons are finished. No work
could make the study of Greek more simple.

Adolphe Dreyspring, author of 'tthe Cum
ulative Method in German" etc., has pre-
pared ''Easy Lessons in French according
to the cumulative method adapted to schools
and home instruction. This method is a re-
volt from the old system and avoids the de-
clensional and verbal pabulum usually ad
ministered and makes progress through the
simple connective els" Illustrations are
added to make the lessons more attractive
and impressive. The success of the method
in German makes success in French certain.

"a Politicians Daughter" by Myra Saw
yer Hamlin, is curious novel blending love
and romance and taking up ty pes of life and
character. A great part of the sto1y can be
read in it's title, but the tenderness and the
genuine sympathy which prevails through
out cannot be seen in the title. The plot is
complicated, but unravels happily. The last
pages, after having read the steps which lead
to them, are well worth the little time spent
upon the book. D. Appleton & Co., pub
fishers. For sale in this city by Judd the
bookseller.
''Studies in Modern Socialism and Labor
Problems, by I. Edwin Brown, D. D., is a
new volume presenting the important social
problems of the Gay in the form of talks.
The author writes under the conviction that
the principles of true economics and true
economic action are inseparably joined with
Christian morality. Having given a series
of addresses upon social questions before
diences of business men and workmen, the
substance of these discussions is incorpora-
ted in the present volume. The work pre-
sents views that are eminently fair and all
questions are regarded by the author from
an impartial and unprejudiced standpoint.
The little book is a valuable addition to the
existing literature upon social problems. D.
Appleton & Co., publishers, New York. For
sale in this city by Judd the bookseller.

parent Mystery" by George Manville Fem,

thor, are among the latest of the paper COW
cred series of novels priated by D. Appleton

novel characteristic of its author, clever and
entertaining. 1t will help to pass couple
of hours very pleasantly. For sale in this

'sThe Republic of New Haven" is histo-
ry of municipal evolution by Charles Fl.
Levermore, Ph. D., Fellow in History at
Johns Hopkins university. The volume is a
contribution toward constitutional history
of the New England township, giving the
evolution of the various forms of local gov
ernment. The characteristics which make
up New Haven's strong individuality are de-
picted through two hundred and fifty years.
The history of New Haven is full of interest.
so many records exist that the work of in
vestigation is easy and the result accurate.
From these records in manuscript the pres
ent volume has been to a large degree made
up. Connecticut is small State, but it has
a great history and that history is connected
with New Haven. New Haven
and the region which it Controls are to a
tered in its constitutional history. The less
er activities of New Haven, with the vast
amount which it has added to the history of
the nation, could not be given in a stronger
light than as they are shown in this volume. |
The book reveals New Haven and will ex-
plain itself. For sale in this city by Judd |
the bookseller.
The latest volume in Griggs' Philosophical |
Classics is GIANTS Ethics,' by Noah Porter, |
ok president of Yale college. The theme of |
the work is GIANTS Theory of Ethics" in
contrast with his practical teachings. 1t is |
both expository and critical, stating the the
Dry of Kant to large extent in Kant's own /
language and making it understandable by
numerous comments. The criticism of DIR. |
Porter is given in a running commentary |
upon the text. The work is furnished with |
a general Introduction, together with a con-
else review of the positions taken by Kant |
upon important topics as compared with |
other writer's. The book cannot fail to be of |
interest aud value to all who are interested |
in ethical theories, and it will be of use, as
it's author intended it should be, to those |
'swho appreciate the practical significance of |
such theories at the present time" S. C. |
