Major's Guide and Text Book to the Certificate and Queen's Scholarship Examinations, with subject matter of Instruction, Questions already set, and numerous worked examples; 5s., cloth.

"Mr. Major has placed here, in one five shilling volume, the whole of the subjects required for Certificate Examinations. The book contains treatises in Arithmetic, Algebra, Geometry, History, Geography, Grammar, and Music, with a number of questions set in the previous examinations, and the syllabus for the Privy Council Examinations."-National Schoolmaster.

"Those who wish to be crammed with information in a compact form have the material in this volume, or rather series of volumes, rolled into one. For a crown piece an acting teacher may have at his elbow all the subjects of examination so arranged as to prime him for the ordeal of examination. Arithmetic, Algebra, Geometry, History, Geography, Grammar, follow each other in slices, each subject being divided into several portions. At the end we are presented with the syllabus for examination."-Schoolmaster.

Major's Diocesan Scripture Manuals. Old Testament, 2s.; New Testament, 28.; Prayer Book, 2s.; complete, 58.

"As a compilation and commentary we can speak in high terms of this volume; the method of ts arrangement and general fitness for school use are highly praiseworthy."-Schoolmaster.

"There is a great deal of information given in this Manual. Besides the history contained in the four Gospels and the Acts of the Apostles, an analysis of the Epistles is given; a useful table of geographical names, a number of questions already set at Diocesan Examinations, and notes of lessons suitable for Scripture teaching."-National Schoolmaster.

"An admirable book, and will be soon in use among all teachers of Church Schools. The experiences of many will call to mind the great trouble they have had merely to make useful selections from larger works. Mr. Major does all this for him. In speaking thus strongly of this book we are not unmindful of the claims of another admirable series."-Schoolmaster.

"Much useful information_n a handy form, and will fill up a gap in Pupil Teacher literature."— Rev. W. T. Smith, Diocesan Inspector, Canterbury.

"A valuable addition to a Pupil Teacher's library. I shall have much pleasure in recommending them for general use."-Rev. J. W. Gedge, Diocesan Inspector, Surrey.

"No scholar can work through it, with the study of the sacred text, and fail to get an improved knowledge of the times and characters of the ancient people."—Rev. W. Michell, Diocesan Inspector, Bath and Wells.

"Your manuals seem well adapted for use with the Bible and Prayer Book in preparing for examinations in religious knowledge."-Rev. J. Howard Twist, Diocesan Inspector, Bakewell.
