DRAWING. 



THE ESSENTIALS OF PERSPECTIVE. 



With numerous illustrations drawn by the author. By L. W. Miller, 

 Principal of the School of Industrial Art of the Pennsylvania 

 Museum, Philadelphia. . i vol., oblong 8vo, $1.50. 



This work combines the results of long experience and ripe judgment. 

 The style is clear, direct, and practical, and the instructions are happily 

 supplemented by numerous drawings, which, the author informs us, are 

 the same that he has used for many years in teaching perspective from 

 the blackboard. 



The N. Y. Sun. — " It is an admirable manual of instruction, con- 

 taining numerous illustrations by the author." 



Art Amateur. — " It contains all that the landscape-painter needs 

 of perspective science, put in plain words, and unencumbered by un- 

 necessary demonstrations. Altogether it is an excellent text-book." 



HANDBOOK OF DRAWING. 



By William Walker, Teacher of Freehand Drawing in Owen's 



College, Manchester. With upward of two hundred Woodcuts and 



Diagrams. l2mo, $1.75. 



Extract from the preface. — " The purpose of this work is to 



furnish such information on Elementary Art Education as is not likely 



10 be met with in any other compact form. It has been prepared under 



the guiding principle ihai all true education consists in the cultivation 



of the judgment. Art has its grammatical elements and rules and should 



be studied in its exact delineative and intellectual aspect, as well as in 



its more emotional expressions." 



Boston Literary World. — " Walker's Handbook of Drawing is 

 by far the most intelligent, perspicuous and suggestive work of its kind 

 which we have seen this long while. In fact we do not remember its 

 equal. In plan and manner it is especially well adapted for a text-book." 



CLASSICAL LITERATURE. 



THE HISTORY OF ROMAN LITERATURE. 



From the Earliest Period to the Death of Marcus Aurelius. With 

 Chronological Tables, etc., for the use of Students. By Charles 

 T. Cruttwell, M.A. Crown octavo, $2.50. j ■ 



Mr. Cruttwell's book is written throughout from a purely literary 

 point of view, and the aim has been, without sacrificing essential infor- 

 mation, to avoid tedious and trivial details. 



The British Quarterly Review. — "This elaborate and careful 

 work, in every respect of high merit. Nothing at all equal to it has 

 hitherto been published in England.'' 



A HISTORY OF GREEK LITERATURE. 



From the Earliest period to the Death of Demosthenes. By Frank 

 Byron Jevons, M.A., Tutor in the University of Durham. 

 Crown octavo, $2.50. 

 The author goes into detail with sufficient fullness to make the history- 

 complete, but he never loses sight of the commanding lines along which 

 the Greek mind moved, and a clear understanding of which is necessary 

 to every intelligent student of universal literature. 



London Spectator. — "It is beyond all question the best history of 

 Greek literature that has hitherto been published.'' 



MENTAL AND MORAL SCIENCE. 



PSYCHOLOGY. 



By James McCosh, D.D., LL.D., President of Princeton College. 

 I. — The Cognitive Powers. II. — The Motive Powers. 2 vols., 

 l2mo, each St. 50. 



The first volume contains an analysis of the operations of the senses, 

 and of their relation to the intellectual processes, and devotes consider- 

 able space to a discussion of Sense- perception, from the physiological 

 side, accompanied by appropriate cuts. The second volume continues 

 the subject with a discussion of the povver of the Conscience, Emotions, 

 and Will. 



Professor William De W. Hyde, of Bowdoin College.- — " This Book 

 is written in a clear and simple style ; it breathes a sweet and winning 

 spirit ; and it is inspired by a noble purpose. In these respects it 

 is a model of what a text-book should be." 



ELEMENTS OF PHYSIOLOGICAL PSYCHOLOGY 



By George T. Ladd, D.D., Professor of Mental and Moral Philosophy 

 in Yale University. With Numerous Illustrations. 8vo, .$4.50. 

 Prof. William James, in The Nation. — '' His erudition and his 

 broad-mindedness are on a par with each other ; and his volume will 

 probably for many years to come, be the standard work of reference on 

 the subject." 



AN OUTLINE STUDY OF MAN. 



OR, THE BODY AND MIND IN ONE SYSTEM. By Mark 

 Hopkins, D.D., LL.D., Late President of Williams College. 

 With Illustrative diagrams. Revised Edition. i2mo, $1.75. 



This work is on an entirely new plan. It presents man in his unity, 

 and his several faculties and their relations are so presented to the eye 

 in illustrative diagrams as to be readily apprehended. 



Gen. A. C. Armstrong, Principal of Hampton Institute. — " Forover 

 ten years I have made it a text-book in the senior class of this school. 

 It is, I think, the greatest and most useful of the books of the greatest 

 of our American educators."

E. G. Robinson, President Brown University. — "It has all the dis- 

 tinguishing marks of the author's work on' The Human Intellect,' is full 

 and comprehensive in its treatment, and yery naturally follows it as a 

 text-book for the class-room." 



Julius H. Seelye, President Amherst College, — "It is copious and

THE LAW OF LOVE, OR LOVE AS A LAW. 



OR, CHRISTIAN ETHICS. By Mark Hopkins, D.D., LL.D., 

 Late President of Williams College. i2mo. .^1.75. 

 This is designed to follow the author's '' Oulline Study of M.in." As 

 its title indicates, it is entirely an exposition of the cardinal precept of 

 Christian philosophy in harmony with nature and on the basis of reason. 

 Like the treatise on mental philosophy, it is adapted with unusual skill 

 to educational uses. It appears in a new edition, which has been in 

 part rewritten in order to bring it into closer relation to his " Outline 

 Study of Man," of which work it is really a continuation.
