FISK'S GREEK GRAMMAR, AND EXERCISES.

A GRAMMAR OF THE GREEK LANGUAGE, by BENJAMIN FRANKLIN FISK. Twenty-sixth stereotype edition.

The requisites in a Manual of Grammar, are simplicity and lucidness of arrangement, condensation of thought, and accuracy of principle and expression. These requisites Mr. Fisk appears to have attained in a considerable degree in his Greek Grammar, of which we have expressed approbation by introducing it into our School.

FORREST AND WYCKOFF, Principals of Collegiate School, New York City. New York, October 3d, 1843.

I have used for several years Fisk's Greek Grammar, and I regard it among the best, and perhaps the best, now used in our Schools. Pupils instructed in it, encounter less difficulty than in others. E. H. JENNY, A. M., New York, October, 1843. Principal of" New York Institute."

Mr. R. S. Davis, - I have examined Fisk's Greek Grammar, published by yourself. To all who will take the trouble to examine it, its own intrinsic merit will be its best recommendation. The Syntax I regard as decidedly superior. The rules are peculiarly clear and comprehensive, thereby relieving the student from a heavy tax upon his time and memory, to which he would otherwise be subjected, and from which, perhaps, he is not equally free in the use of any other work of the kind.

C. TRACY, Principal of Select English and Classical School. New York City, October 28th, 1843.

From Benjamin Greenleaf, Esq., author of the National Arithmetic, etc. Bradford, (Mass.,) Teacher's Seminary, October 16th, 1843.-For several years past, I have used Fisk's Greek Grammar in my seminary. I consider it a work of superior merit. It is well arranged; and the rules are clear and perspicuous. It is, in my opinion, better adapted to initiate pupils into the idiom of the Greek language, than any other treatise of the kind, that I have examined. FISK'S GREEK EXERCISES should be used in connexion with the Grammar. A work of this kind has long been needed. It is a production of great merit. Yours respectfully, Benjamin Greenleaf. Recommendations fully concurring with the above opinions, have bees. received from the following gentlemen, among many others, who have recently adopted this Grammar in preference to any other.

LEVERETT'S CESAR AND FOLSOM'S CICERO.

LEVERETT'S CÆSAR'S COMMENTARIES. Caii Julii Cæsaris Commentarii de Bello Gallico ad Codices Parisinos recensiti, a N. L. Achaintre et N. E. Lemaire. Accesserunt Notulæ Anglicæ, atque Index Historicus et Geographicus. Curavit F. P. LEVERETT. Editio stereotypa.

From John J. Owen, Principal of Cornelius Institute, New York, and Editor of Xenophon's Anabasis.

I have examined with some attention Cæsar's Commentaries, edited by Leverett, and Cicero's Orations, edited by Folsom, and am happy to recommend them to classical teachers, as being, in my estimation, far superior to any other editions of those works, to which students in this country have general access. The typography is fair and accurate, and the general appearance of the books does honor to the enterprising publisher. I hope these editions will be extensively used in our Academies and High Schools. (Signed) JOHN J. OWEN, Cornelius Institute.

New York, Nov. 22, 1843.

I have attentively perused Leverett's Cæsar. The neatness and accuracy of the Text, and the beautiful adaptation of the Notes, compel me to use it in preference to any other that I have seen.

(Signed) E. H. JENNY, Principal of New York Institute. New York, Nov. 1, 1843.

FOLSOM'S CICERO'S ORATIONS. M. T. Ciceronis Orationes Quædam Selectæ, Notis illustratæ. [By CHARLES FOLSOM, A. M.] In Usum Academiæ Exoniensis. Editio stereotypa, Tabulis Analyticis instructa.

From Charles E. West, Principal of Rutgers Female Institute, New York. I take pleasure in commending to teachers the recent beautiful edition of Folsom's Cicero. The attractiveness of its text, notes, synoptical and analytical tables, and typographical execution, led me to place it in the hands of a class of young ladies, who are reading it with delight.

(Signed) CHARLES E. WEST, Principal of R. F. I.

New York, Nov. 1, 1843.

I have examined Cicero's Orations, edited by Charles Folsom, and prefer it to any other I have seen. The Synopsis and Analysis of each Oration are so beautifully given, that it seems as a Rhetoric, as well as a Text Book for learning Latin. I shall use it exclusively in the institution under my charge. (Signed) E. H. JENNY, Principal of New York Institute. New York, Nov. 1, 1843.

I have carefully examined the recent editions of Leverett's Cæsar, and Folsom's Cicero, and fully concur in the opinions above expressed.

(Signed) WM. A. TAYLOR, Principal of All Saints Parochial School. New York, Nov. 1843.

These editions of Cæsar and Cicero are highly recommended by the following Teachers, who have recently adopted them, in preference to all others.

We are happy to see another valuable addition to the list of reading books, -one which has been compiled with a strict regard to the tendency of the pieces it contains, and which bears the stamp of so high a standard of literary taste. In these respects the Classical Reader is highly creditable to its editors.

The Classical Reader is selected from the very best authors, and the quantity from each, or the number of pieces of a similar character, by different authors, affords all that can be required for classes, and in sufficient variety, too of manner, to facilitate greatly the formation of correct habits of reading, and a good taste.
