A New Abridgement of AINSWORTH'S 

 DICTIONARY, English and Latin, for 

 the use of Grammar Schools. By John 

 Dymock, LL. D., with Notes, by Charles 

 Anthon. 1 vol. 18mo. 



In this edition are introduced several alterations and 

 improvements, for the special purpose of facilitating 

 the labor and iYicreasing the knowledge of the young 

 scholar. 



GREEK AND ENGLISH LEXICON. By D. 

 DoNNEGAN. Abridged for the use of Schools. 

 In 1 vol. royal 18mo., containing above 800 

 pages. 



This work is printed on a handsome distinct type, 

 and contains as much matter as many of the larger lexi- 

 cons ; but owing to the form in which it is printed, it is 

 sold at such price as to be within the reach of all stu- 

 dents. It offers more advantages to the young student 

 than any other lexicon now in use. The vocabulary 

 is more extensive and complete — comprising not only 

 words found in the classics, but also such as are found in 

 the writings of Hippocrates and the Greek physicians. 

 The meanings attached to words by the several writers 

 are also given. 



W^ords are given in alphabetical order in every poeti- 

 cal and dialectic variety. 



The conjugation of verbs and flection of nouns are 

 more complete than in other lexicons ;— the meanings 

 of words fuller and more correct — there being first a 

 primary and then a secondary meaning, each distin- 

 guished from the metaphorical and idiomatical. Phrases 

 are also given when they note any peculiarity in signi- 

 fication. The etymology of words is only omitted where 

 it is confused or disputed. There is nothing left out 

 which the young student would find necessary in study- 

 ing the classics, and which would enable him to under- 

 stand the true meaning of a word. In short, in this 

 work the essential advantages of a good Dictionary 

 are combined with those of a good Grammar — advan- 

 tages not found in any Greek and English lexicon now 

 used. 



ELEMENTS of MECHANICS. By James 

 Renwick, Esq., Professor of Natural and 

 Experimental Philosophy, Columbia College, 

 N. Y. In 8vo. with numerous Engravings. 



" We think this decidedly the best treatise on Me- 

 chanics, which has issued from the American press, that 

 we have seen ; one, too, that is alike creditable to the 

 writer, and to the state of science in this country." — 

 American Quarterly Review. 



ELEMENTS of OPTICS. By David Brew- 

 ster. First American edition, with Notes 

 and Additions, by A. D. Bache, Professor of 

 Natural Philosophy and Chemistry in the 

 University of Pennsylvania. 18mo. 

 " The author has given proof of his well-known in- 

 dustry, and extensive acquaintance with the results of 

 science in every part of Europe." — Monthly Mag, 



" The subject is, as might be expected, ably treated, 

 and clearly illustrated." — U. S. Jour. 



A TREATISE on HYDROSTATICS and 

 PNEUMATICS. By the Rev. Dionysius 

 Lardner, LL. D. F. R. S. &c. First Amer- 

 ican from the first London edition, with 

 Notes by Benjamin F. Joslin, M. D., Pro- 

 fessor of Natural Philosophy in Union Col- 

 lege. 



" It fully sustains the favorable opinion we have al- 

 ready expressed as to this valuable compendium of mod- 

 ern science." — Lit. Oaz. - 



"Dr. Lardner has made a good use of his acquaintance 

 with the familiar facts which illustrate the principles of 

 science.'''— Monthly Mag. 



"It is written with a full knowledge of the subject, 

 and in a popular style, abounding in practical illustra- 

 tions of the abstruse operations of these important 

 sciences."— f7. ^. Jour. 



An essay on MORAL CULTURE, ad- 

 dressed to Parents and Teachers. By M. M. 

 Carll. 18mo. 



An elementary TREATISE on AL- 

 GEBRA, Theoretical and Practical ; with 

 attempts to simplify some of the more diffi- 

 cult parts of the science, particularly the 

 demonstration of the Binomial Theorem, in 

 its most general form ; the Solution of 

 Equations of the higher orders ; the Summa- 

 tion of Infinite Series, &.c. By J. R. Young. 

 First American edition, with Additions and 

 Improvements, by Samuel Ward, Jun. 8vo. 

 " A new and ingenious general method of solving 

 Equations has been recently discovered by Messrs. H. 

 Atkinson, Holdred, and Horner, independently of each 

 other. For the best practical view of this new method 

 and its applications, consult the Elementary Treatise on 

 Algebra, by Mr. J. R. Young, a work which deserves our 

 cordial recommendation."— Z)r. Gregory's edition of Hut- 

 ton's Mathematics. 



" For the summation of Infinite Series the author 

 gives a new and ingenious method, which is very easy 

 and extensive in its application." — JVewcastle Mag. 



By the same Author. 

 ELEMENTS of GEOMETRY; containing 

 a new and universal Treatise on the Doc- 

 trine of Proportions, together with Notes, 

 in which are pointed out and connected 

 several important errors that have hitherto 

 remained unnoticed in the writings of Ge- 

 ometers. Also, an Examination of the vari- 

 ous Theories of Parallel Lines that have 

 been proposed by Legendre, Bertrand, Ivory, 

 Leslie, and others. 



" His observations on the theory of parallel lines, the 

 labor he has bestowed on the doctrines of proportion, as 

 well as his corrections of many errors of preceding Ge- 

 ometers, and supplying their defects, together with his 

 minute attention to accuracy throughout, may be justly 

 considered as rendering his performance valuable, espe- 

 cially to the learner." — Philosophical Magazine. 



" We have never seen a work so free from pretension 

 and of such great merit. Various fallacies latent in the 

 reasoning of some celebrated mathematicians, both of 

 ancient and modern date, are pointed- out and discussed 

 in a tone of calm moderation, which we regret to say is 

 not always employed in the scientific world." — Monthly 

 Magazine. 



" This is a work of valuable information, the concep- 

 tion of a most enlightened mind, and executed with a 

 simplicity which cannot but carry the important truth 

 it speaks of home to the conviction of every under- 

 standing." — Weekly Times. 



The ELEMENTS of ANALYTICAL GE- 

 OMETRY ; comprehending the Doctrine 

 of the Conic Sections, and the General 

 Theory of Curves and Surfaces of the sec- 

 ond order, with a variety of local Problems 

 on Lines and Surfaces. Intended for the 

 use of Mathematical Students in Schools 

 and Universities. 



" If works like the present be introduced generally 

 into our schools and colleges, the continent will not long 

 boast of its immense superiority over the country of 

 Newton, in every branch of modern analytical scienc^." 

 — Atlas, 



THE ELEMENTS OF MECHANICS, com- 

 prehendingf Statics and Dynamics, with a co- 

 pious Collection of Mechanical Problems, in-
