Schititts and XutnpVa Classical Series.— Continued. 



From Prof. Roche, Transylvania University, Lexington. Ky., March 31, 1849. 

 Whatever influence my po^ilioii may give me shall be most cheerfully employed in 

 bringing iiuo general use In ihe Wesl these very valualile works. I trust that you 

 will prosecute to a close the proposed series, and that the execution ot" those thai re- 

 main to complete a Latin Curriculum may be as neat and in all respects as unex- 

 ceptionable as that of those already published. 



From Prof. John Wilson, Prep. Dep. Dickinson College, Carli.tle, Dec. 8. 1S4S. 

 I have examined the three volumes with considerable care, and can give tliem my 

 unqualified approbation. The plan is judicious, and the execution worthy of all praise. 

 The notes comprise all that a student needs, and all that he should have; and their 

 position at the foot of the page is just what it should be. 



From Peof. E. E. Wilet, Emory and Henry College, Va. Nov. 30, 1849. 

 From the cursory examination given them, I must say that I have beeit highly srrati- 

 fled. Such a series as you propose giving to the public is certainly a great dt-sidera- 

 tum. Our classical text-books have heretofore been rendered entirely loo expensive, 

 by the costly dresses in which they have appeared, and by the extensive di.«play of 

 notes appended ; many of whch. though learned, are of little worth to the student in 

 elucidating the text. It will afford me pleasure to introduce into my department such 

 books of your series as may be in our course. 



From S. H. Taylor, Esq., Andover, Mass., Oct 30, 1848. 

 The notes seern to me very accurate, and are not so numerous as to do for the stu- 

 dent what he ought to do for himself. I can with safely, therefore, recommend it to 

 my pupils. 



From. Prof. M. M. Campbell, Principal of the Grammar School. Indiana University, 

 Nov. 6, 1>43. 

 I like the plan of your series. I feel sure it will succeed, and thus displace some of 

 the learned lumber of our schools. The notes, short, plain, and apposite, are placed 

 where they ought to be, and furnish the learner just about help enough. 



From Philip Lindslet, D. D., Pres. of the University of Nashville, Nov. 27, 1848. 

 The classical series, edited by Drs. Sclimitz and Zumpt. has already acquired a 

 high and well-merited repulation on both sides of the Atlantic. I have carefully ex- 

 amined your editions of Ctesar and Virgil. I think them admirable text-books lor 

 schools, and preferable to all others. I shall avail myself of every suitable occasion 

 to recommend them. 



From B. Sanford, Esq., Bridgewnter. Mass., Jan. 17, 1849. 

 I have examined, with considerable care, boih the Cfesar and the Virgil, and am 

 much pleased with the plan and execution of the series thus lar. I am particularly 

 gratified with the propriety and judgment displayed by the editors in the preparation 

 of the notes ; avoiding, as I think, the prolixity and profuseness of some of our class- 

 ical works, and, al the same time, the barrenness and deficiency of others ; giving a 

 body of annotations better suited to aid the teacher in imparting a knowledge of the 

 language, than is to be found in any edition heretofore in use. , 



From Prof. Sturgess, Hanover College, Indiana, Dec. 30, 184S. 

 The mere name of the eilitors is a sufficient and most ample guarantee of the accu- 

 racy of the text, the judicious choice of various readings, and ihe conformity of those 

 adopted to the latest investigations of MSS., and the results of the most enlighiened 

 criticism. The notes I have not examined very carefully, except those of the Viryil. 

 They are admirable, extremely condensed, and conveying a great deal of most valu- 

 able criticism in the briefest possible way. They are particularly valuable for their 

 fEslheli"al remarks, and the frequent references to parallel passages in Ihe same au- 

 thor. The preliminary life is excellent, and of great value to the student. The S il- 

 lusi appears lo be of the same general character, and the noles to lurnish just such 

 help as the diligent student really needs. I think that in bringing out such a course 

 at a cheap rate you are conferring a great boon on the country, and additional honor 

 on your press, already so distinguished tor the value of its issues.
