Greenwood. — THE ELEMENTS OF GREEK GRAMMAR,

including Accidence, Irregular Verbs, and Principles of Derivation and Composition; adapted to the System of Crude Forms. By J. G. Greenwood, Principal of Owens College, Manchester. Fourth

Edition. Crown 8vo. 5s. 6d.

This Grammar is intended to do for Greek what the Grammars of Key and others have done for Latin. Until this work was published, no Greek Grammar had appeared based on the system of crude forms, though the system is perhaps still better adapted to Greek than to Latin.

Hodgson. — MYTHOLOGY FOR LATIN VERSIFICATION.

A brief Sketch of the Fables of the Ancients, prepared to be rendered into Latin Verse for Schools. By F. Hodgson, B.D., late Provost of Eton. New Edition, revised by F. C. Hodgson,

M.A. 18mo. 3s.

The late Provost of Eton has here supplied a help to the composition of Latin Verse, combined with a brief introduction to Classical Mythology. In this new edition a few mistakes haw been rectified; rules have been added to the Prosody; and a more uniform system has been adopted with regard to the help afforded.

Homer's Odyssey. — THE NARRATIVE OF ODYSSEUS.

With a Commentary by John E. B. Mayor, M.A., Kennedy Pro­fessor of Latin at Cambridge. Part I. Book IX.-XII. Fcap. 8vo.

Prose, with Introductions, Running Analysis, and Notes, by James Lonsdale, M.A., and Samuel Lee, M.A. Globe 8vo.

3s. 6d.; gilt edges, 4s. 6d.

The main merits of this version are its persistent fidelity to the sense and spirit of the Latin, the beauty of its form of presentation, its freedom, and its force. To the schoolboy it will be available as a help, because it is, beyond all comparison, the most accurate and trustworthy of all transla­tions.” — English Churchman.

Commentary. By John E. B. Mayor, M.A., Kennedy Professor of Latin at Cambridge. Second Edition, enlarged. Vol. I. Crown
