240 THE AMERICAN MONTHLY. [October, 



138 pages and is full of interesting material, which adds greatly to the 

 usefulness of the volume. 



A feature to be highly commended is the vocabulary, which covers 

 over a hundred pages and contains numerous illustrations. 



It needs onlv to be added that mechanically this book follows the plan 

 of Allen & Greenough's Latin Classics, being both neat and durable. 

 Practical Latin Compositio?i. By Wm. C. Collar, A. M. I3°, 

 26S pp. Ginn & Co., Boston. Price. $1.10. 



This is a new departure in Latin composition. It contains fifty pages 

 of extracts from Nepos, Ccesar, and Cicero, which the student is sup- 

 posed to make himself thorough with before attempting Latin composi- 

 tion. By means of a series of annotated exercises he reproduces the 

 storv. but in slightly varied Latin sentences, which successively illus- 

 trate the various grammatical constructions. The Latin text is so 

 closely reproduced that no English-Latin vocabulary is necessary. I 

 should think that the new method would be very successful. 

 Microscope Catalogue. By Bausch & Lomb Optical Co.. Rochester. 

 8% pp. 112. 



This is their twelfth and best edition. Among the new features are 

 a new biological microscope, the biological objectives which have been 

 constructed for the short tube, and intended principally for histological 

 work, and various new accessories, such as condenser, mounts, etc.
