CLASSICAL STUDIES. Essays on Ancient Literature and Art. 

 With the Biography and Correspondence of eminent Philologists. By 

 BARNAS SEARS, President Newton Theol. Institution, B. B. EDWARDS, 

 Prof. Andover Theol. Seminary, and C. C. FELTON, Professor Harvard 

 University. 12rno. cloth. Price $1.25. 



" This book will do good in our colleges. Every student will want a copy, and many 

 will be stimulated by its perusal to a more vigorous ajid enthusiastic pursuit of that higher 

 and more solid learning which alone deserves to be called ' classical.' The recent tenden- 

 cies have been to the neglect of this, and we rejoice in this timely effort of minds so well 

 qualified for such a work." Reflector. 



" The object of the accomplished gentlemen who have engaged in its preparation has 

 been, to foster and extend among educated men, in this country, the already growing inter- 

 est in classical studies. The design is a noble and generous one, and has been executed 

 with a taste and good sense, to do honor both to the writers and the publishers. The book 

 is one which deserves a place in the library of every educated man. To those now 

 engaged in classical study it cannot fail to be highly useful, while to the more advanced 

 scholar it would open new sources of interest and delight in the unforgotten pursuits of 

 his earlier days." Providence Journal. 



THE CICERONIAN; Or the Prussian Method of Teaching the 

 Latin Language. Adapted to the use of American Schools, by B. SEARS. 

 18mo. half morocco. Price 50 cents. 



From the Professors of Harvard University. 



" We beg leave to observe, that we consider this book a very valuable addition to our 

 stock of elementary works. Its great merit is, that it renders the elementary instruction in 

 Latin less mechanical, by constantly calling the reasoning power of the pupil into action, 

 and gives, from the beginning, a deeper insight into the very nature, principles, and laws 

 not only of the Latin language, but of language in general. If the book required any 

 other recommendation besides that of being the work of so thorough and experienced a 

 scholar as Dr. Sears, it would be this, that the system illustrated in it is not a mere theory, 

 but has been practically tested by many able instructors in Germany. We wish that the 

 eame trial may be made here. Very respectfully yours, CHARLES BECK,

From S. H. Taylor, Principal of Phillips' Academy, Andover. 



' I have examined, with much pleasure and profit, the ' Ciceronian,' prepared by 

 Dr. Sears. It is admirably adapted to make thorough teachers and thorough pupils. It 

 requires of the teacher a precise and intimate acquaintance with the minutiae of the Latin 

 tongue, and necessarily induces in the pupil habits of close thought and nice discrimina- 

 tion. The plan of the work is excellent, as it constantly calls the attention of the pupil to 

 the peculiar construction and idioms of the language ; and, by a system of constant 

 reviews, keeps the attention upon them till they are permanently fixed. The pupil who 

 shall go through this book in the manner pointed out in the plan of instruction, will 

 know more of the Latin than most do who have read volumes. e TT rp,.

M E M R I A TECHNICA; Or, the Art of Abbreviating those Studies 

 which give the greatest Labor to the Memory ; including Numbers, 

 Historical Dates, Geography, Astronomy, Gravities, &c. ; also Eules for 

 Memorizing Technicalities, Nomenclatures, Proper Names, Prose, Poetry, 

 and Topics in general. Embracing all the available Rules found in 

 Mnemonics or Mnemotechny of Ancient and Modern Times. To which 

 is added a perpetual Almanac for Two Thousand Years of Past Time and 

 Time to Come. By L. D. JOHNSON. Third Edition, revised and improved. 

 Octavo, cloth back. Price 50 cents. 



" This system of Mnemotechny, differing considerably from the one introduced by Prof. 

 Gouraud, is designed to furnish all the rules for aiding the memory without lessening 

 mental culture, which can be made available during a course of elementary study. The 

 illustrations may be easily comprehended by any person of ordinary mental capacity; 

 and the application of the principles upon which the system is based, must necessarily 

 furnish an agreeable and useful exercise to the mind." New York Teachers' Advocate. 



"We feel no hesitation in recommending this work to the deliberate attention of teach- 

 ers, and the guardians of youth. We learn that it is received into several schools in 

 Boston, and used as an auxiliary help to the studies now pursued by the pupils." 



Boston Conner. 



" The ' Memoria Technica' is now studied in some of onr best schools ; and the system 

 taught iii it appears to be much approved by those who have made trial of it." 



Evening Traveller.
