ERE at last is a volume containing just what college Stu.
H dents have been calling for time out of mind, but never
could find—something besides the old selections, which,
though once inspiring, now fail to thrill the audience, because
declaimed to death !
Live topics presented by live men 1 Full of
vitality for prize speaking. Such is the matter with
which this volume abounds.
To mention a few names—here are to be found speaking
each in his well-known style and characteristic vein :
Chauncey M. Depew President Eliot (Harvard)
Abram S. Hewitt George Parsons Lathrop
Carl Schurz Bishop Potter
William E. Gladstone Sir Charles Russell
Edward J. Phelps President Carter (Williams)
Benjamin Harrison T. De Witt Talmage
Grover Cleveland Ex-Pres. White (Cornell)
General Horace Porter Rev. Newman Smyth
Doctor Storrs Emilio Castelar.
Here, too, sound the familiar voices of George William Cur-
tis, Lowell, Blaine, Phillips Brooks, Beecher, Garfield, Disraeli,
Bryant, Grady and Choate.
There are poets also :-Longfellow, Holmes, Tennyson,
Byron, Whittier, Schiller, Shelley, Hood and others.
More than a hundred other authors besides! We have not
space to enumerate. But the selections from them are all just
the thing. And all the selections are brief.

Another invaluable feature:–Preceding each selection are
given, so far as ascertainable, the vocation, the residence, and
the dates of birth and death of the author; and the occasion to
which we owe the oration, or address, or poem.

PREFACE
In preparing the Classic Series of Interlinear Transla.
tions the publishers have insisted upon a faithful adher-
ence to two obvious essentials; the reduction of the original
text to the natural order, and, as far as possible, a strictly,
literal version. -
In all cases, however, where the meaning as thus
literally rendered is not sufficiently intelligible, explanatory
words or phrases have been added.
It is hoped that the plan will be appreciated of insert-
ing all explanatory words and phrases, by means of brackets,
in immediate conjunction with the text, thus obviating the
annoyance and the serious loss of time that attend frequent
reference to notes by numbered paragraphs in an appendix.
The superiority is readily apparent of the interlinear
over other translations, not only in the saving of time, but also
for all purposes of careful study; making possible as well
as convenient and easy, a correct solution of idioms, a quick
insight into the sense, a facile and lucid re-arrangement of
the context in the English order, and a practical comparison
of both the similarities and the contrasts of construction.
PLAN OF THE ORATION
Exordium.
Refutation of charges foreign to the indictment:
(a) Of a private nature;
(b) Of a public nature.
Reply to the charges contained in the indictment.
Strictures upon the character and course of his an-
tagonist, compared with his own.
Peroration.
THE ORATION
OF
T)|EMOSTELENES
ON
THE CROWN.
Ctesiphon, an Athenian citizen, had proposed a decree that the
state should bestow a crown upon Demosthenes for his pub-
lic services, and that proclamation should be made of the
same in the theatre during the great Dionysia, at the per-
formance of the new tragedies. Aeschines thereupon in-
dicted Ctesiphon as the author of an illegal measure. “The
proposal of Ctesiphon,” so ran the indictment, “was a
violation of Athenian law in three distinct points: two
purely technical ; the third, that the characterization of
Demosthenes as a public benefactor was false, while to lodge
a document false in substance among the state records is for-
bidden by law.” This arraignment of the public career of
Demosthenes was continued with great violence by Aeschines
throughout his speech. Demosthenes, in his speech for the
defence, refuses to follow the order suggested by Aeschines,
but throwing the legal questions, as to which he feels him-
self weak, into the middle of his oration, devotes his
supreme efforts to a vindication of his own public career
and motives and to a violent attack upon Aeschines.

Dealing as we do exclusively in School and College
Books, we have discovered a wide demand from Teachers
and the Student Public for a series of dictionaries, uniform
in size, up to the times in point of contents, authoritative
as regards scholarship, of best quality as to typography
and paper, and in a binding at once elegant and durable.
That the volumes in this series are the best in all these respects,
is attested by the unqualifted commendations we are receiving—
a few of which we append.

A New
New Testament
The ever-growing interest in New Testament subjects
—so generally and so intelligently discussed now-a-days—
makes it desirable that the general reader, who would
be well informed on current topics, should have some
acquaintance with the relation of the standard English
version to the original text, while a still more intimate
knowledge on the part of the clergyman and the Bible
Class teacher would seem almost imperative. Toward
this end no aid is likely to be more helpful than the
Interlinear New Testament.
There are many other reasons, scarcely needing mention, why the
Interlinear New Testament should be at the elbow of every intelligent
º who either is or hopes to be posted on general topics. Not the
east of these reasons is the facility with which it enables one, even if
rusty in his Greek, or even if wholly unacquainted with Greek, to put
his finger on the original Greek word or phrase, and at the same
instant upon an absolutely literal rendering. To many it will
Rºy repay its cost in the time saved from turning to a Greek
€X1COIl.
The Interlinear New Testament will be needed by every clergy-
man, Sunday School superintendent, and Bible-Class teacher, as well
as by many students of Greek in Schools and Colleges, by most
intelligent people who wish their library complete, and by everyone
who studies the Scriptures ; and for every reference library. Of
course, no working library is complete without such a book.
As in Ist Corinthians, XIII. (over) the word “charity”
must be read “love" so in thousands of similar instances
some other word will enable the Bible teacher to clarify the
text. In all these instances that other word “ the word
that iſ/umines,” is brought to the tip of one's pen at a
moment's notice by
The Greek = English In-
terlinear New Testament
Royal. 12 mo., 688 pages. . With Footnotes. , And with the standard
English version arranged in the margin of each page in a column
parallel with the interlinear page, and furnishing an ideal New Testa-
ment in every respect.

Smith’s New
Class Register.
By an ingenious device the
pages are so arranged that the
overworked teacher can keep a
complete record for each pupil
for every day during a whole
quarter, also weekly and monthly
average (if desired), and yet have
to write the pupils' names only
once for the whole period. Plenty
of space for attendance, deport-
ment, scholarship, etc. Of con-
venient size to carry to and from
school in the pocket.
ONE OF MANY.,

Wałerzyż//e, A/e. I consider Smith's
New Class Register the most con-
venient of any that I have ever
seen. It gives, at a single glance,
all the necessary data concerning
pupils' records. My teachers all C:
speak of it in the highest terms of
praise.

ERE at last is a volume containing just what college stu-
H dents have been calling for time out of mind, but never
could find—something besides the old selections, which,
though once inspiring, now fail to thrill the audience, because
declaimed to death !
Live topics presented by live men 1 Full of
vitality for prize speaking. Such is the matter with
which this volume abounds.
To mention a few names—here are to be found speaking
each in his well-known style and characteristic vein :
Chauncey M. Depew President Eliot (Harvard)
Abram S. Hewitt George Parsons Lathrop
Carl Schurz Bishop Potter
William E. Gladstone Sir Charles Russell
Edward J. Phelps President Carter (Williams)
Benjamin Harrison T. De Witt Talmage
Grover Cleveland Ex-Pres. White (Cornell)
General Horace Porter Rev. Newman Smyth
Doctor Storrs Emilio Castelar.
Here, too, sound the familiar voices of George William Cur-
tis, Lowell, Blaine, Phillips Brooks, Beecher, Garfield, Disraeli,
Bryant, Grady and Choate. -
There are poets also:—Longfellow, Holmes, Tennyson,
Byron, Whittier, Schiller, Shelley, Hood and others.
More than a hundred other authors besides! We have not
space to enumerate. But the selections from them are all just
the thing. And all the selections are brief. -
In addition to a Żers?icatozes Zist of contezzás, the zºo/azmae contazzes

Another invaluable feature:–Preceding each selection are
given, so far as ascertainable, the vocation, the residence, and
the dates of birth and death of the author; and the occasion to
which we owe the oration, or address, or poem.
