A DICTIONARY OF LATIN PHRASES; comprehending a Methodical Digest of the
various Phrases from the best Authors, which have been Collected in all
Phraseological Works hitherto published; for the more speedy progress of
Students in Latin Composition. By WILLIAM ROBERTSON, AM. of Cambridge. A
New Edition, with considerable Additions, Alterations, and Corrections. In
a very thick volume royal 12mo. 15s. bound.
*** The present edition has this advantage over its predecessors, that
it is enriched with many hundred phrases which have hitherto been
unrecorded; and these have been drawn from the purest fountains, by
actual perusal; from Cicero, Tacitus, Terence, Plautus, &c.
"The utility of this work to students in Latin composition is too evident
to need pointing out; and we doubt not it will readily find a due place
in the list of School Books."--Gentleman's Magazine.
"If the work in its 'first estate' was a favourite treatise at our
schools, it can have nothing to fear in its renovated form, where its
barbarisms have been expunged, and some thousand phrases, drawn from the
purest sources, have been added: we shall merely observe that it is an
excellent Key to Latin Composition."--Lit. Chronicle.
ESSAYS ON THE INSTITUTIONS, GOVERNMENT, AND MANNERS OF THE STATES OF
ANCIENT GREECE. The Second Edition, 12mo. price 7s. By HENRY DAVID HILL,
DD. Professor of Greek in the University of St. Andrew's.
"To young persons who are just entering upon the higher classics, and to
studious men who are desirous of repairing, by their own industry, the
accidental defects of an imperfect education, a more useful assistant
cannot, we think, well be furnished."--Quarterly Review.
SKETCHES OF THE DOMESTIC MANNERS AND INSTITUTIONS OF THE ROMANS. 12mo. 7s.
"Carefully and judiciously compiled from a variety of the best sources,
there are few books of the kind which we could recommend to be put into
the hands of young persons with greater satisfaction than this little
volume. Its contents embrace, we think, every subject of importance
connected with Roman society."--Lit. Gazette.
"The work before us is an improvement upon preceding summaries of the
kind, and in our opinion a very successful one."--Gentleman's Magazine.

respectable Seminaries in the Empire.
A PRACTICAL GERMAN GRAMMAR; or a New and Easy Method of acquiring a
thorough knowledge of the German Language; for the use of Schools and
Private Students. By JOHN ROWBOTHAM, Master of the Classical, &c. Academy,
Walworth. 12mo. price 6s. 6d. boards; or 7s. bound.
"Mr. Rowbotham has produced the clearest German and English Grammar that
we have seen. The study of German has hitherto been obstructed in England
by the circumstance that the Grammars of that Language have been the
forbidding productions of Germans, and hence they have been German and
English, instead of being English and German. By means of Mr. Rowbotham's
luminous grammar, in which he exhibits a corresponding familiarity with
both languages, the study of German is likely to be considerably
promoted."--Monthly Mag. June, 1824.
"This desideratum (a good German Grammar) Mr. R. has not only supplied,
but supplied with ability and effect; and the Literary World is highly
indebted to him for the clear, precise, and comprehensive manner in which
he has accomplished his task."--Critical Gazette, July, 1824.
A PRACTICAL SYSTEM of ALGEBRA; Designed for the use of Schools and Private
Students. By P. NICHOLSON, Author of the Architectural Dictionary,

l'Académie, has received considerable Additions, and contains a greater
number of Words than any other School Dictionary of the French Language,

Illustrations and Examples drawn from the best Writers. By G. CRABB. The
Third Edition, thoroughly revised and corrected; in a large volume 8vo.
Price 1l. 1s.
"The present work forms a valuable addition to the philological treatises
we possess--Mr. Crabb has brought to the task, which he undertook, a
sound judgment, and an extent and accuracy of investigation, which have
gone far to supply the chasm which remained in this branch of our
Literature."--British Critic, October, 1823.

CHARACTER ESSENTIAL TO SUCCESS IN LIFE; addressed to those who are
approaching Manhood. By the same Author. The Third Edition, price 5s.
boards.
"This excellent work may be considered as a Third Volume, though it does
not assume that form, and though it is not necessary that the two former
should be read in order to understand it. The first is "Self-cultivation
Recommended," the second is "Advice to the Teens." We cannot render to
our readers a greater service than by recommending to them, in the most
earnest manner, these three volumes, the last of which does not yield in
point of excellence to either of the former."--Baptist Magazine.

Information upon various Subjects connected with the Progress of
Civilization; also some Account of Antiquities. By the same Author. 3 vols.
price 9s. half-bound.
"The dialogue-form adopted by the author is excellently adapted to the
purposes of explanation, illustration, and comment; and admits of a
variety of pleasant and familiar remarks that otherwise could hardly have
been introduced. Each of the two boys, Lewis and Paul, read their
respective portions of the narrative; their father, uncle, and other
members of the family circle, making their observations as the history
proceeds." Having given an extract, the Reviewer adds--"After this
quotation, it is needless to say that it is an admirable little work to
be put into the bands of the juvenile reader."--Lit. Chron.

the Writings of Cicero, with References to the Passages in the Original.

*** This little Publication is offered to those Teachers who use Ellis's
Exercises; not from a supposition that they can require such aid for the
correction of grammatical errors, but from a conviction that the best
modern Scholars may consult the original with advantage, and that the
Pupil will thus be prepared for more difficult exercises. The Key will be
found useful as a collection of Sentences to be translated into English,
which, without being too difficult, illustrate the rules of Syntax in the
pure language of the first of Roman Authors.

GUY'S SCHOOL GEOGRAPHY, on a new, easy, and highly improved Plan;
comprising not only a complete General Description, but much Topographical
Information, in a well-digested Order; exhibiting three distinct Parts, and
yet forming one connected Whole: expressly adapted to every Age and
Capacity, and to every class of Learners, both in Ladies' and Gentlemen's
Schools. The Ninth Edition, handsomely printed in crown 12mo. and
illustrated with seven Maps, engraved by J. C. Russell, jun. Price 3s.
bound.
"We think this work entitled to unqualified approbation. It unites
utility with cheapness. Its method is simple and practicable, and well
adapted to the first wants of the mind. Its ample title-page professes no
more than what is performed in the body of the work. Mr. Guy is already
known as the Author of some other works of a similar nature, and this
will add to his merit in that species of composition."--Universal
Magazine.
"The present epitome of Geography challenges comparison either with any
of the author's former publications, or with those of others upon the
same subject, not even excepting the popular 'Grammar of Geography, by
Goldsmith.' Contrasted with the latter, it contains upwards of one-fourth
more matter, and perhaps, not less than double the real information. In
Guy we find, in addition to the usual Geographical description of
kingdoms, an abstract of their natural curiosities, animals, climate,
soil, inhabitants, religion, manners, customs, language, government,
chronology, and history. In Goldsmith we find almost nothing more than
the names of a few (and only a few) rivers, provinces, and chief towns,
without any thing to excite attention or curiosity, farther than what
appears in the outline map of a country. Goldsmith indeed merely talks
about geography, or the physical and political divisions of the globe;
Guy describes them agreeably, and presents to the reader a complete and
faithful portrait, in miniature, of the habitable world, equally
intelligible and interesting to the youth and the man."--Antijacobin
Review.
Since the first publication of this Geography in 1810, nearly 100,000
copies have been sold, and its superiority over other works of the same
kind is becoming daily more manifest--the last year's sale being double
that of any of the preceding. In this edition many improvements have been
added, the list of accepted Geographical names is greatly enlarged, much
original matter respecting the extensive Empire of TONKIN is annexed, the
book is printed in a superior style on the best paper, and the whole
forms a most perfect and highly interesting School Book.
*** THE MAPS, printed on a stout Royal Drawing Paper, and beautifully
coloured, are done up separately for the use of Teachers, price 2s.
A KEY TO GUY'S GEOGRAPHY, containing Answers to all the Questions and the
Problems on the Globes, in this Geography. Price 1s. 6d. sewed.
A CHART OF GENERAL HISTORY, Ancient and Modern. Fourth Edition corrected.
On a sheet of Columbier drawing-paper, price 7s. coloured; on canvass and
rollers, 10s. 6d.; and varnished 14s.
A Chart of this kind will greatly facilitate the student's progress, and
give him clearer ideas of the rise, duration, and fall of each kingdom
and empire, than the perusal of many volumes. It is, in short, to
History, what Maps are to Geography; and a mode of representation which
gives a kind of locality to events; and conveys not only distinct ideas
of distant events in any one country, but the relative occurrences of
different nations.
C. Baldwin, Printer,
New Bridge-Street, London.
