LITERARY NOTICES. 



855 



may also serve as a series of specimens of 

 Latin literature from the early popular sunns 

 down to the hymns of Christian Rome. The 

 selections have been made with a view to 

 exhibiting the life, manners, opinions, 

 amusements, and dissipations of the Romans. 

 The more difficult words are translated at 

 the bottom of the page, and there are notes 

 at the end on matters of allusion, style, and 

 construction. The volume is illustrated. 



In the Orations on Bunker Hill Monu- 

 ment, the Character of Washington, and the 

 Landing at Plymouth (American Book Com- 

 pany, 20 cents), we have the three best ora- 

 torical efforts of Daniel, Webster. His sim- 

 plicity of diction and perfect mastery of 

 pure idiomatic English render them excel- 

 lent models for the pupil who would perfect 

 himself in the use of the English tongue.
