CHEMISTRY FOR SCHOOLS. An Introduction to the Practical Study of Chemistry. By C. HAUGHTON GILL, late Assistant-Examiner in Chemistry at the University of London, formerly Teacher of Chemistry in University College School. With Illustrations. Small 8vo. 48. 6d.

"Mr. Gill has fairly earned the thanks of scientific chemists; nor will the schools be slow to appreciate a manual which has been thus well-devised and executed by an author who has himself been a successful school teacher."-Nature.

"As a guide in chemistry for boys of the higher classes, the book is extremely good. Those, especially, who are preparing for the Matriculation Examination of the University of London will find here just what they want."-British Medical Journal.

DR. HOFMANN'S MODERN CHEMISTRY, Experimental and Theoretic. Second Edition. Small 8vo. Preparing.

"It is, in the truest sense an introduction to chemistry; and as such, it possesses the highest value-a value which is equally great to the student, new to the science, and to the lecturer who has spent years in teaching it."-Reader.

FAMILIAR LETTERS ON CHEMISTRY, in its Relations to Physiology, Dietetics, Agriculture, Commerce, and Political Economy. Fourth Edition, Small 8vo. 78. 6d.

"The plan of the Letters is as simple and intelligent as their style. The author sets out with a general consideration of chemistry, and of the rank to which it is entitled among the other sciences; treats shortly of chemical affinity and chemical equivalents, illustrating the symbols and formula by which these affinities are expressed explains the atomic theory; considers the relations of heat, light, electricity, and gravity to chemical force, and shows wherein these forces differ from what has been called the vital principle; and lastly, discusses the transformations--fermentation, putrefaction, and decay-which take place in organic bodies when removed from the influence of vitality."-Chambers' Ĵournal.

POETRY FOR SCHOOLS.

I.

THE POET'S HOUR. Poetry selected and arranged for Children. By FRANCES MARTIN, late Superintendent of the Bedford College School. Fcap. 8vo. 38. 6d. cloth.

"The principle of selection here is not one chiefly of personal taste, but experience. She has formed it on the strength of a careful induction of children's taste; not, indeed, left to themselves, but guided 'by a light hand, that directs rather than controls; in other words, of children's taste under the influence of her personal preferences. Anyhow, it is a very good and wholesome taste, refined, but not too refined, for ordinary children." - Spectator.

II.

SPRING TIME WITH THE POETS. Poetry selected and arranged by FRANCES MARTIN. Fcap. 8vo. 48. 6d. cloth.

MAPS.

"The selection is a very full one, and represents our national poetic literature in its whole range. It is especially rich in specimens of our best living poets. We have no hesitation in saying that, for the purposes which the author has set forth, this is by far the best selection of poetry in the language."-Daily News.

"Miss Martin may be congratulated upon the production of a volume which not only shows an intimate acquaintance with our past and present poetry, but also a nice adaptation to the most wholesome tastes of young readers."-Athenæum.

"It is an analytical and synthetical praxis on the forms of the Greek language, communicating, by the way, considerable knowledge of the syntax, and information on points connected with the Greek writers."-Preface.

NEW LATIN READING BOOK; consisting of Short Sentences, Easy Narrations, and Descriptions, selected from Cæsar's Gallic War; in Systematic Progression. With a Dictionary. Seventh Edition, revised. 12mo. 28. 6d.

"The plan of this work differs in one important point from other works of a similar kind. The sentences have been selected exclusively from Cæsar's Commentary on the Gallic War, instead of being taken from different authors, as has usually been the case. There is an obvious advantage in this plan; the same words are continually repeated by the same author in a simple narrative; and the pupil thus becomes accustomed to his style, and finds the work of translation grow easier every day, which cannot be the case when the extracts are taken from many different authors, whose style must of course vary exceedingly."-Preface.

These exercises are based, as regards the Accidence, on the Crude Form system, which is so applied that the work may be used in connection with any of the best school grammars in current use. The study of the accidence is succeeded by a systematic development of the formation and meaning of compound and derived words. The general object of the book is to give the learner a clear understanding of the formation and sense of the words of the Latin language.

"The pupil, on beginning Greek, needs no book besides this. He has here Grammar, Vocabulary, and Exercise Book. After learning to write the alphabet with ease, he will read over the remarks in the first lesson, and proceed at once to translate the sentences into Greek. One piece of information is communicated after another in the most gradual manner, and whatever has been learnt is constantly called into practice by frequent repetition. Facts are imparted as the pupil wants to apply them; information is given as it is required."-Preface.

DR. R. G. LATHAM ON THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE. Fifth Edition. 8vo. 188.

"It is, in truth, a most learned and laborious inquiry into some of the more abstruse points in general Grammar, and in that of the English language in particular, commencing with its historical descent and connexions, and including the causes of many of its peculiarities of structure and condition. By the word Grammar, in ordinary parlance, is understood a number of rules; whereas the work before us, so far as it has attained to the character of a well-ordered design, is a repertory of the reasons which are at the bottom of the rules."-Athenæum.

Those who take an interest in the study will find the book to be a repertory of most that is valuable on the subject. Dr. Latham has spared no pains in producing a book full of learning and erudition."—London Review.
