THIS Hand-book represents in the selection of colleges the maximum and minimnm requirements for admission to any meritorious college in the United States. In the selection of institutions, the aim has been, not to imply that those excluded do- not rank equally high with many here mentioned, but to represent the different sections of the country, the leading denominational colleges, and a few of the most important State universities of the West. An average of the requirements to enter the colleges represented in the book will admit a student to the Freshman class of any college or university not named so that it becomes a chart of universal application to the colleges of the United States. A thorough knowledge of the Latin and Greek Grammar, including prosody, is required to enter the classical course of any good college, and marked proficiency in the common English branches especially grammar or language is insisted upon for entrance to both classical and scientific courses. In addition to the two general courses, classical and scientific, most of the colleges have a Latin scientific course, for entrance to which French or German is substituted for Greek. The State universities and many of the others have, also, courses in Civil Engineering, Mining Engineering, and in Architecture and Design. Most of the colleges now furnish, in the last two years of the classical and scientific courses, a wide range of polytechnic studies, from which students may generally select. Requirements for admission to any of the courses except classical, are generally the same as for admission to the scientific course. A complete list of the colleges and universities of the L T nited States is given, with miscellaneous addenda which will be of interest to all the patrons and friends of higher education. INTRODUCTION. SEVERAL motives suggested the compilation of this little book. When student! wisely conclude to make a college education their ambition and aim, they very natu rally send for one or a dozen college catalogues, to ascertain their requirements anc other information which will enable them to decide what college to enter ; but the grea mass of facts which these catalogues contain often tends to confuse the mind, and t< render of little avail the trouble occasioned and expense incurred. To obviate these difficulties, to present a concise and yet authentic table of require ments for admission to the leading colleges of the United States, and to give other in formation which will be of value and interest to all the students of our secondary schools has been one purpose in the preparation of this hand-book. The arrangement in parallel columns of the requirements for admission to the clas sical and scientific courses of the forty-four colleges mentioned will, we hope, furnish i convenient chart for reference and comparison. These facts have been gathered with great care from the latest catalogues and cir culars of these institutions ; and where these facts have been in any way involved o deficient, correspondence has been elicited from the college presidents, who have invari ably answered all inquiries, so that we feel assured that the book may be taken as a safi guide in determining the amount and nature of the work required in preparation. Catalogues of several years have been consulted ; very slight changes are made fron year to year ; and, while the requirements are taken from the official reports of the cui rent year, students will find it safe to follow them for several years to come. Another motive has been to impress upon the minds of the pupils of secondary schools the absolute importance of a thorough preparation. Quality rather than quan tity is the pressing demand of all the colleges ; and, while pupils are expected to read al that is required in the classics, and to acquaint themselves with all that is demanded ii mathematics and English, conditions and rejections are based upon 2?oor quality rathe, than insufficient quantity in preparation. Incompetency in instruction and the haste which makes waste so common amonj students are deplorably conspicuous in our preparatory schools, and we would reiterat the thought that, if students would render the instruction and opportunities of thei college life profitable and pleasant, they will leave no means unemployed to secure tfo 8 INTRODUCTION. best instruction in their preparatory work, even if they add a year to their preparation, or neglect some portion of the amount required. We have appended the questions which were used at the entrance examination for the current year at Yale, Bowdoin, Dartmouth, and Boston University. They present a fair outline of what is required by all the colleges, and may be studied to advantage by preparatory pupils. "We have purposely omitted any tabulated statement of the expenses necessarily incurred in obtaining a college education, for many reasons : First, the catalogues do not give such information on this subject as will constitute any adequate guide to the student ; secondly, tuition for indigent and meritorious stu- dents is practically free in most of the colleges, and those who are compelled to pay are generally sufficiently able not to make this an item in their decision ; thirdly, the disposition of the student and the restrained or loose indulgence of parents are the real factors which enter into a proper computation of the economical or extravagant expenditures of college life. The cost of books and the price of board are the real items of college expense, and these do not differ materially in any of the best colleges. Any student can honorably and comfortably take a four years' course away from home, at an annual expense, cov- ering all essential items, of four hundred dollars. Many can and do curtail their ex- penses within much narrower limits, and it ought to cost no one, in any college, who would profit by the advantages offered, more than six hundred dollars a year. The statistics regarding the " Enumeration of Students," " Latin Pronunciation in Use," " Harvard Examinations for "Women," indeed all the statistics, have been arranged with great care and scrupulous accuracy. In presenting this book to the public, the compiler would render his grateful ac- knowledgments to the college presidents, Latin professors, and to all the officers con- sulted, for their generous promptness and repeated courtesies in answering letters, in furnishing statistics, and in rendering every facility to aid in making the book, what we hope it may prove, of interest and value to the teachers and students of all our second- ary schools.

CLASSIFICATION OF UNIVERSITIES AND COLLEGES IN This classification, in general, gives the number of pupils in attendance during the present college year of 1878-'79, although the statistics of a few colleges are from the Catalogues of one of the two previous years. It has been difficult in all cases to separate the students of the classical from those of the scientific and technical courses ; but, as these statistics are of special interest in view of the " new education " theory, great care has been taken to make them authentic, and in nearly all cases where the catalogues have failed to draw the lines of distinction the compiler has obtained the facts from direct correspondence I.

As a result of the increasing interest in the study of the sciences, and the desire on the part of colleges to have their courses suited to the individual taste and talent of students, many and important changes have been made in the courses of study. Some of the colleges, without encroaching upon the time-honored classics, have extended their curricula, thereby encouraging students to pursue post-graduate studies, as special- ties ; others have partially eliminated the Greek, to make room for the sciences ; others still have substituted French or German for Greek in a so-called Latin-scientific course, and a few have abandoned distinct arbitrary courses entirely, and extended to students the privilege of electing their studies throughout the college curriculum. To show how far these changes have affected the study of the classics i. e., Latin and Greek in different sections of the country, we present the following from the fore- going statistics : In the thirteen colleges of the New England States, out of a total of 3,434 stu- dents in college departments, 2,568, or nearly seventy-five per cent., are in the clas- sical course. In the nine colleges of New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania, out of a total of 2,368 in college department, 1,302, or nearly fifty-four per cent., are in the classical course. In the sixteen colleges west and south of Pennsylvania, out of a total of 2,941 in college department, 1,259, or less than forty-three per cent., are in the classical course. These facts show that the students, in the colleges of the Western States particularly, are inclined to pursue the sciences and the modern languages, especially German, in the place of the Greek, while three fourths of all the students in the New England colleges still adhere to the study of the Greek. In the colleges which admit both sexes, out of a total of 3,776 in the college depart- ment, 891, or nearly twenty-four per cent., are ladies. Of the 891 ladies in these col- leges, 274, or nearly thirty-one per cent., are in the classical course ; 492, or fifty-five per cent., are in the scientific or technical courses ; 135 in the Medical Department ; four in the Law Department ; and three in the Theological Department ; seven are in post-graduate courses, which is eleven per cent, of all in this department, and the remainder are pursuing studies in college departments, but not in regular courses. In the thirty-nine colleges, whose summary of students is given, there are more than 16,700 students, of whom 2,400 are in preparatory departments ; 9,487 in the college department proper ; 2,304 are pursuing the study of medicine ; 1,840 the law ; 456 theology ; while 317 are in post-graduate courses. Of the entire number, 2,053 are ladies. ANCIENT HISTOKY AND CLASSICAL GEOGRAPHY. THE college catalogues are largely indefinite in their statements of requirements for admission in these important branches, and, as a result, preparatory schools do not gen- erally teach them with sufficient care and exactness, and students, on entering college, often find themselves sadly deficient in the systematic knowledge of the historical events and the geography of the classics which they have read. All pupils in classics should provide themselves with a Classical Atlas (Appletons' or Long's) ; with a Classical Dictionary (Smith's or Anthon's) ; with a Dictionary of Antiquities (Anthon's) ; with Smith's History of Greece, Smith's, Merivale's, or Lid- dell's History of Rome, or equivalent books, and with Baird's Classical Manual. Let the study in these subjects be systematic and thorough, and students will find that the knowledge gained and the discipline secured, even though it may add a year to their preparatory work, will amply repay for the expense incurred and the time em- ployed. "We therefore give on this page a more detailed account of the exact require- ments of some of the universities, and earnestly recommend all students preparing for college to secure competent instruction in at least an average of what these several colleges require. HAKVARD UNIVERSITY requires " Greek History to the death of Alexander ; Roman History to the death of Commodus. Smith's smaller histories of Greece and Rome will serve to indicate the amount of knowledge demanded." MICHIGAN UNIVERSITY requires "In Grecian History the first three books of Smith's History of Greece, exclu- sive of the chapters on Literature and Art ; an outline of Roman History from the foundation of the city to the battle of Actium." The university requires in Ancient Geography that particularly of Italy, Greece, and Asia Minor. Appletons' Hand-book or Atlas of Ancient Geography is undoubtedly the best ; Long's Classical Atlas is also excellent. CORNELL UNIVERSITY requires "Smith's smaller history of Greece." BOSTON UNIVERSITY requires " History of Greece till its conquest by the Romans ; History of Rome to Constantine. Smith's Manuals will suffice." Ancient Geography, "sufficient to illus- trate all the authors read." SYRACUSE UNIVERSITY requires " Merivale's History of Rome, first twenty-five chapters ; Smith's larger His- tory of Greece, the first fourteen chapters. Ancient Geography, particularly that of Italy, Greece, and Asia Minor." Appletons' Hand-book or Atlas will suffice. 3 CLASSIFICATION OF COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES 1^ REFERENCE TO THE LATIN PRONUNCIATION IN USE OR PREFERRED. THE recent philological researches and discussions on the subject of Latin pronuncia- tion have quite revolutionized the methods of pronunciation in the colleges and universities of our own country, and it becomes a matter of great interest and importance to the high schools and all college preparatory institutions which method prevails among the best classical scholars. It is not ours to judge, but we present below carefully-prepared statis- tics, tabulated from correspondence with the presidents or Latin professors in all these institutions. While it is true that no college refuses admission to a candidate who may be proficient in either the English, Roman, or so-called Continental pronunciation, it is never- theless a lamentable fact that pupils applying for admission to colleges are rarely profi- cient in any particular method. The English and Roman methods are peculiarly distinct, and one or the other should be chosen and thoroughly taught. It will be noticed as a fact of interest that the two oldest colleges of New England differ in their preference : Harvard chooses the Roman, and Yale the English.

Excluding the two which seem to vibrate between the English, Roman, and Continental, or do not express a decided prefer- ence for either, we have twenty -two which use or prefer the Roman, eighteen the English, and one tte Continental. All the Roman Catholic Institutions use the Continental. Continental. ROMAN PRONUNCIATION. HARVARD, Cornell (New York), and Michigan State Universities are, perhaps, the most prominent colleges which take the lead in earnestly recommending the adoption of this method, and we therefore give the scheme in detail as promulgated by these institutions, in their latest circulars. These schemes are essentially the same, and do not materially differ from the method as found in the latest revised edition of Harkness's Latin Grammar, which also contains the fullest description of the English method, adhered to by many of the best univer- sities in our country. SCHEME OF MICHIGAN UNIVERSITY. ROMAN PRONUNCIATION OF LATIN. This uni- versity has adopted the following system of pro- nunciation, based upon the investigations of Cors- sen and other eminent philologists, and now em- ployed in its essential features in the universities and leading schools of England and many insti- tutions of this country, as being proved beyond question a close approximation to the Roman pro- nunciation in the time of Cicero. VOWELS. a as in father, a as in amend, or in quaff (not as in hat) ; e as in they, e as in met,; I as in ma- chine, I as in pity ; o as in go, o as in police (not as in cot) ; u as oo in too, u as in pull (not as in but) ; y as i. DIPHTHONGS. In pronouncing the diphthongs the sound of both vowels is preserved. ae as the word ay ; au as ow in power ; oe as oi in oil; eu nearly like u in me; u in ua, ue, etc., like w ; ei as in rein. CONSONANTS. c always as in can ; ch as % ; g always as in gun; j always as y in young ; s always as in sin ; t always as in tin ; v either as Fr. ou in oui, or like Eng. v. SCHEME OF CORNELL UNIVERSITY. To answer numerous inquiries in regard to the system of pronouncing Latin now adopted in this university, a statement of its essential deviations from the "English method" is herewith given. The system is, in no proper sense, "new": it is rather the result of investigations independently carried on in different countries and ages to ascer- tain how the Romans spoke their language at the period of its greatest purity. VOWELS. Each vowel had, in general, a single element- ary sound. Though position somewhat modified the quality of this sound, yet the only important vocal distinction between "long" and "short" vowels was that of quantity. The following are approximate English equivalents of these vowel- sounds: a as in father, a as in dogma ; e as in they, I as in valley ; I as in machine, I as in unity ; o as in pole, 6 as in police ; u as in rudt, u as in put. DIPHTHONGS. In pronouncing the diphthongs, each element should have its own individual sound. But, as these two sounds are made with a single emission of breath, the practical analogies in English are these : ae (or ai) as ai in aisle ; au as ou in house ; oe ROM AX PRONUNCIATION". 37 (or oi) as oi in oil ; ei as ei in vein ; eu as eu in feud ; ui as ui in suite. SEMI-VOWEL. j uniformly like y ; v uniformly like w. CONSONANTS. c always like k; g always like g in get ; s al- ways like s in sit ; t always like t in till. SYLLABICATION. A single consonant between vowels should be joined in pronunciation to the latter. Two or more consonants preceding a vowel should be ut- tered with that vowel, if the combined consonants begin a Latin (or Greek) word. In compound words, however, the component parts should be pronounced separately. The above scheme is not claimed to be the ex- act Roman orthoepy the nature of the case must always preclude such absolute knowledge ; it is, however, claimed to be so near an approach to the ancient pronunciation that there is full justi- fication for the growing tendency to substitute its main features for the " English method " of speak- ing Latin a method which came into being in quite modern times, which is so full of obvious defects that it satisfies few Latinists in England or America, and is an object of amazement and ridi- cule to classical scholars in other countries. TRACY PECK, Professor of Latin, Cornell University, Ithaca. New York. SCHEME OF HARVARD UNIVERSITY. IN Latin, the following pronunciation is recom- mended : a as in father, a the same sound, but shorter ; e like e in fete, e as in set ;'l as in ma- chine, i as in sit ; o as in hole, 6 as in nor ; u as in rude, u as in put ; j like y in year, c and g like Greek K and y. NOTE. In the so-called Continental method of pronunciation, the sounds of the vowels do not greatly differ from those of the Roman, but there is no fixed law for the sounds of the consonants, especially c, g, j, v ; each continental nation yields to the analogies of its own language for example, the French pronounce Cicero, Seesayro; the Germans, Tseetsayro; the Italians, Cheec/Myro; the Spaniards, Theetiiayro.

REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION TO THE UNIVERSITIES AND COLLEGES IN THE UNITED STATES. THE forty-four colleges whose specific requirements for admission have been given, fairly represent all the universities and colleges of the country. We give below an average of these requirements, a thorough preparation in which will, we believe, admit a student to any of the institutions whose specific requirements are not stated. I. CLASSICAL COURSE. LATIN. Four books of Caesar (Harkness's edition recommended) ; six books of Virgil's ^Eneid (Frieze's or Bryce's recommended) ; eight orations of Cicero, including the Manilian Law (Harkness's recommended) ; the first two parts of Harkness's Latin Prose Com- position, or forty-four exercises in Arnold's or an equivalent, with a thorough knowl- edge of the Latin Grammar, including Prosody (Harkness's recommended). GREEK. Xenophon's Anabasis, three books (Boise's recommended) ; two books of Homer's Iliad (Boise's recommended), omitting Catalogue of* Ships, Book II. ; simple exercises in Greek Prose Composition, with accents, as may be found in the first lessons of Arnold's, Boise's, or Jones's Greek Prose, with a thorough knowledge of the Greek Grammar (Hadley's or Goodwin's recommended). MATHEMATICS. Arithmetic, including Metric System ; Algebra to Quadratics (Loomis's or Olney's recommended) ; Plane Geometry (Loomis, Olney, Wentworth, or Chauvenet). ANCIENT HISTORY AND CLASSICAL GEOGRAPHY. History as found in Smith's smaller histories of Greece and Rome. Classical Geog- raphy should be studied from such a book as Appletons' Hand-book, or Long's. COMMON ENGLISH. A thorough knowledge of English Grammar, with such proficiency in the ele- ments of Rhetoric as will enable the student to spell, punctuate, and paragraph cor- rectly ; United States History, Political and Mathematical Geography, with elements of Physical Geography. II. SCIENTIFIC COURSE. To enter the Scientific courses, a student should have an elementary knowledge of Natural Philosophy, or Botany, or Chemistry ; the Science Primers will indicate the amount. The same proficiency in Mathematics as mentioned above, with Algebra through Quadratics, and French and German instead of Latin and Greek, or Latin, with French or German, instead of Greek.

Sextio Baculo, fortissimo viro, multis gravibusque vulneribus confecto, ut jam se sustinere non pos- set ; reliquos esse tardiores, et nonnullos ab novis- simis deserto proelio excedere ac tela vitare, hostis neque a fronte ex inferiore loco subeuntes inter- mittere, et ab utroque latere instare, et rem esse in angusto vidit, neque ullum esse subsidium quod summitti posset, scuto ab novissimis uni militi detracto, quod ipse eo sine scuto venerat, in pri- mam aciem processit; centurionibusque nomina- tim appellatis, reliquos cohortatus, milites signa inferre et manipulos laxare jussit, quo facilius gla- diis uti possent. Cujus adventu spe inlata militi- bus, ac redintegrate animo, cum pro se quisque in conspectu imperatoris etiam in extremis suis rebus operam navare cuperet, paulum hostium impetus tardatus est. Sallust, Catilina, ch. XII. XII. Postquam divitiae honori esse coepere, et eas gloria, imperium, potentia sequebatur, hebes- cere virtus, paupertas probro haberi, innocentia pro malivolentia duel coepit. Igitnr ex divitiis iuventutem luxuria atque avaritia cum superbia invasere; rapere, consumere, sua parvi pendere, aliena cupere, pudorem, pudicitiam, divina atque hnmana promiscua, nihil pensi neque moderati habere. Operae pretlum est, quum domos atque villas cognoveris in urbium moduni exaedificatas, visere templa deorum, quae nostri maiores, religio- sissumi mortales, fecere. Verum illi delubra de- orum pietate, domos suas gloria decorabant, neque victis quidquam praeter iniuriae licentiam eripie- bant. At hi contra, ignavUsumi homines, per summum scelus omnia ea sociis adimere, quae tbr- tissumi viri victores reliquerant; proinde quasi iniuriam facere id denium esset imperio uti. Sallust, lugurtha, ch. XXVIII. XXVIII. At lugurtha, contra spem nuncio ac- cepto, quippe cui Romae omnia venuin ire in ani- mo haeserat, filium et cum eo duos familiares ad Senatum legates raittit, hisque ut illis, quos, Hi- empsale interfecto, miserat, praecepit, omnes mor- tales pecunia adyrediantur. Qui postquam Romam adventabant, Senatus a Bestia consultus est, place- retne legatos Ivgurthae recipi moenibm ; iique de- crevere, nisi regnum ipsumque deditum venissent, uti in diebus proximis decem Italia decederent. Consul Xumidis ex Senati decreto nunciari iubet : ita infectis rebus illi domum discedunt. Interim Calpurnius, parato exercitu, legat sibi homines nobiles, factiosos, quorum auctoritate quae deli- quisset munita fore sperabat ; in quis fuit Scaurus, cuius de natura et habitu supra memoravimus. Also translate : Cicero, Second Oration against Catiline, ch. VIII. VIII. Sed cur tamdiu de uno hoste loquimur ; et de eo hoste, qui jam fatetur se esse hostem ; et quern, quia (quod semper volui) murus interest, non timeo ; de his, qui dissimulant, qui Romae re- manent, qui nobiscum sunt, nihil dicimus ? quos quidem ego, si ullo modo fieri possit, non tarn ulcisci sfudeo, quam sanare, et ipsos placare rei- publicae; neque, id quare fieri non possit, si me audire volent, intelligo. Exponam enim vobis, Quirites, ex quibus generibus hominum istae co- piae comparentur : deinde singulis medicinarn con- silii atque orationis meae, si quam potero, afferarn. Unum genus est eorum, qui, magno in aere alieno, majores etiam possessiones habent, quarum amore adducti dissolvi nullo modo possunt. Horuui ho- minum species est honestissima (sunt enim locu- pletes), voluntas vero et causa impudentissima. Tu agris, tu aedificiis, tu argento, tu familia, tu rebus omnibus ornatus et copiosus sis; et dubites de possessione detrahere, acquirere ad fidem ? Quid enim expectas ? bellum ? quid ? ergo in vastatione omnium tuas possessiones sacrosanctas futuras pu- ta>r An tabulas novas? errant, qui istas a Cati- lina expectant. Meo beneficio tabulae novae pro- ferentur, verum anctionariae : neque enim isti, qui possessiones habent, alia ratione nlla salvi esse possunt. Quod si maturius facere voluissent, ne- que (id quod stultissimum est) certare cum usuris fructibus praediorum ; et locupletioribus his et melioribus civibus uteremur. Sed hosce homines minime puto pertimescendos, quod aut deduci de sententia possunt ; aut, si permanebunt, magis mihi videntur vota facturi contra rempublicam, quam anna laturi. Virgil, Georgics, Bk. IV. 11. 507-527.

THIS Series has received the unqualified commendation of many cf the most eminent classical professor* and teacher- 1 In oar country, and is already in use in every State in the Union, mid. indeed, in nearly all our jeadini: rln^sic.-il institution:- of c \ery grade, both of school and college. Each volume lias been received with a degree of enttnudaem unsurpri-sed in our experience with text-books. We ask the attention of teachers to these works, in the conviction that t ' mentary classical instruction than can elsewhere be found iu our language. rmsx 1. Introductory Latin Book. This volume, as the name implies, is introductory to the entire series. It is intended to be placed in the hands of every beginner in Latin, and aims to furnish him the very knowledge which he especially needs to enable him to start aright in his course. All the gram- matical portions of the work are introduced in the exact form and language of the author's Grammar, to which it is introductory. 2. Grammar and New Latin Header. Instead of the New Latin Reader, teachers desiring hat they 1'uruish a better course of ele- a more extended drill on the Grammar can use the Latin Reader and Latin Composition. 3. Caesar and Sallust, Grammar and Latin Composition. 4. Cicero, Grammar and Latin Composition, continued. This course is intended for all those who are pre- paring for college, and who hope to make any consider- able proficiency in the Latin language and literature. SECOUXTID COTJIRSE.. 1. Grammar, New Reader. 2. Csesar or Sallust, Grammar and Latin Composition. 3. Cicero, Grammar, and Latin Composition, continued. This course is the same as the first, with the omission of the Introductory Latin Book, and is intended only for those who are compelled to limit themselves to a short preparatory course. Indeed, even in such cases, the author believes that a term or two spent on the Introductory Book would in the end not only promote accuracy of scholarship, but actually save time. The publication of this series of text-books has marked an era in the classical education of our countrv. The enthusiasm with which each volume has been received, the unqualified commendation of the series by eminent classical professors and teachers in this country and in Europe, and its introduction into nearly all our leading classical institutions of every grade, both of school and college, give us the fullest assurance that these works furnish a better course of elementary in- struction in Latin than can elsewhere be found in our language. On the list of classical teachers who have unqalifiedlv recommended the " Grammar " are found the names of nearly all the Latin teachers of note in America, while Germany has spoken heartily in its favor. We have on file many hundred recommendations, bearing the most emphatic testimony to its scholarship and value in the class-room. The revised edition has left little to be desired in the way of philology. It embraces the practical results of the latest studies, without encumbering its pages with mere conjectures, which only confuse and mislead the student. Since the publication of Prof. Harkness's Latin Sr-ries was commenced, other Latin Grammars have had their brief day, while this series has been steadily gaining in popularity and influence. Many of our good teachers, after testing some of the competing books, have come gladly back to Harkness's, as the most practical and at the same time the most scholarly Latin course before the public. It is used in over three hundred colleges, and in more than two thousand private, preparatory, and high schools. Harkness's Introductory Latin Book. This work is intended to furnish the pupil his first lessons in Latin, thus taking the place of the author's First Latin Book, published twenty-five years ago. It is at orfce an Elemrntarii Drill-Book on the inflection? and principles of the language, and an Introduction to the author's Grammar, Reader, and Latin Composition. It comprises a distinct outline of Latin Grammar, Exer- cises for Double Translation, Suggestions to the Learner, Notes, and Vocabularies. As an Elementary Drill -Book, it aims to supply a want long felt in our schools, to lighten the burden of the teacher in elementary drill, and to aid him in intro- ducing his pupils to a thorough and practical knowledge of the elements of the langu As an Introduction to the author's Grammar, Reader, and Latin Composition, it discusses and illustrates pre- cisely those points which are deemed most essential as a preparation for the course of study presented in those works. The great objection to most First Latin Books, that they fill the memory of the pupil with rules and state- ments which must, as far as possible, be unlearned as soon as he passes to his Grammar, is entirely obviated in this volume, as all the grammatical portions of it, even to the numbering of the articles, are introduced in the exact form and language of the author's Grammar. A Latin Grammar for Schools and Colleges. By A. HARKXESS, Ph. D., LL. D., Professor in Brown University. The subject of Latin Grammar is here presented in a form at once simjJr, attractive, find jitiilosophicitl. To explain the general plan of the work, the publishf the attention of teachers to the following extracts from the Preface : 1. This volume is designed to present a systematic arrangement of the great facts and laws of the Latin language; to exhibit not only grammatical forms and constructions, but also those i-itnf j>r!ncipks which un- derlie, control, and explain them. 2. Designed at once as a text-book for the class- room, and a book of reference in study, it aims to in- troduce the beginner easily and pleasantly to the first principles of the language, and yet to make adequate provision for the wants of the more advanced student. 3. By brevity and conciseness in the choice of phrase- ology, and compactness in the arrangement of forms and topics, the author has endeavored to compress within the limits of a convenient manual an amount of carefully, selected grammatical facts which would otherwise fill a much larger volume. 4. He has, moreover, endeavored to present the whole subject in the light of modern scholarship. With- out encumbering his pages with any unnecessary ' sions, he has aimed to enrich them with the practical results of the recent labors in the field of philology. 5. Syntax has received in every part special atten- tion. An attempt has been made to exhibit, as clearly as possible, that beautiful system of laws which the genius of the language that highest of all grammatical authority has created for itself. 6. Topics which require extended illustration are first presented in their completeness in general outline, before the separate points are discussed in detail. Thus a single page often foreshadows all the leading features of an extended discussion, imparting a completeness and vividness to the impressions of the learner, impossible under any other treatment. 7. Special care has been taken to explain and illus- trate with the requisite fullness all difficult and intricate subjects. The Subjunctive Mood that severest trial of the teacher's patience has been presented, it is hoped, in a form at once simple and comprehensive. For the information of teachers, the publishers would add that their editions of the Latin Classics are fur- nished with special references to this Grammar. Harkness's New Latin Reader. The New Latin Reader now offered to the public is designed to furnish the learner a short, easy, and pro- gressive introduction to reading and writing Latin. It is at once a Latin Reader and an Exercise Book in Latin Composition, and aims to furnish the pupil in a single volume a sufficient companion to the Latin Grammar. It comprises Reading Lessons, Exercises in writing Latin, Suggestions to the Learner, Notes, a Latin-English anJ an English-Latin Vocabulary. Part First presents a progressive series of exercises illustrative of grammatical forms, inflections, and rules. These exercises are intended to accompany the learner from the very outset in his progress through the Gram- mar, and thus to furnish him the constant luxury of using the knowledge which he is acquiring. The Latin has been carefully selected from classical authors. Part Second illustrates connected discourse, and comprises Fables, Anecdotes, and History. Exercises in writing Latin are inserted at convenient intervals. The Suggestions to the Learner are intended to direct the unskillful efforts of the beginner, and thus enable him to do for himself much which would other- wise require the aid of his teacher. They aim to point out to him the process by which he may most readily and surely reach the meaning and the structure of a Latin sentence, and then to teach him to embody that meaning in a clear, idiomatic English. Experience has abundantly shown the need of such directions. The beginner's first efforts to solve the problem presented by a Latin sentence are too often little better than a series of unsuccessful conjectures, while his first translations are purely mechanical renderings, with little regard either to the thought of his author or to the proprieties of his mother-tongue. The Latin Reader, being intended for use with the Latin Composition, omits the exercises in writing Latin, and gives a mora extended drill on the principles of the Grammar. Harkness's Practical Introduction to Latin Composition. This volume is intended to aid the classical student in acquiring a practical acquaintance with the difficult but important subject of Latin composition. It aims to be at once simple, progressive, and complete. Start- ing with the beginner as soon as he has learned a lew grammatical forms, it conducts him step by step through a progressive series .of lessons and exercises, until he is so far master, both of the theory and of the practice of the subject, that he no longer needs the aid of a special text-book. The work consists of three parts, of which Part First is purely elementary, and is intended as a companion to the Reader. Part Second furnishes the learner instruction and practice in Latin composition throughout the subsequent stages of hi.s preparatory course for college. Part Third, intended for the earlier portion of a col- legiate course of study, aims to introduce the student to a practical acquaintance with the elements of Latin style. A series of Models, selected from the writings of Cicero, the great master of Latin style, extends through the entire work. Special attention has been given to the important subject of Synonyms and Idioms. Caesar's Commentaries on the Gallic War, with Explanatory Notes, a Copious Dictionary, and a Map of Gaul. By A. HARKSESS, Ph. D., LL. D. This edition of Caesar, intended to follow the Latin Reader, aims to introduce the student to an appreciative study of Latin authors. The text is the result of a care- ful collation of the several editions most approved by European scholars. The notes are intended to guide the faithful efforts of the student, and to prepare him for that course of direct instruction and illustration which belongs exclusively to the teacher. They aim to furnish such collateral information as will enable the learner to understand and appreciate the stirring events recorded in the Commentaries, and such special aid as will enable him to surmount real and untried difficulties of construction and idiom. The volume also contains plans of battles, a copious dictionary, a map of Gaul, and a brief life of Caesar. Harkness's Sallust's Catiline. As a part of a regular course of Latin study, this edition of Sallust's Catiline is intended to follow Caesar's Commentaries on the Gallic War, but to precede the Orations of Cicero. The notes are not intended to interfere with that course of direct personal instruction which belongs exclusively to the living teacher, but rather to prepare the way for it. They are arranged topically in such a manner as to keep the general scope of thought as constantly as possible before the mind of the student. Harkness's Cicero's Orations. This edition of Cicero's Select Ovations has been prepared expressly for school use. The ten orations which it contains are fine specimens of Roman eloquence in its various departments forensic, senatorial, and judicial. They are arranged in the order in which, it is thought, they can be read to the best advantage. The Notes to each oration are preceded by an intro- duction and by an analysis of the argument. They aim to give the faithful student the key to all really difficult passages, and, at the same time, to furnish him such collateral information upon Roman manners and cus- toms, upon Roman history and life, as will enable him to understand, appreciate, and enjoy these masterpieces of Roman oratory. A Preparatory Course of Latin Prose Authors. By ALBERT HARKNESS, Ph. D., LL. D. This work presents in a single volume a course of study in Latin Prose Authors, sufficiently extended to meet the requirements for admission to any American college. It contains four books of Caesar's Commentaru -s on the Gallic War, the whole of Sallust's Catiline, am! eight orations of Cicero. To the Latin text are added Notes, Il'ustrations, ami a Special Dictionary, making the volume comparatively complete in itself. " In the preparation of every part of the work, it has been the aim of the editor to make the interests of the student paramount to all other considerations. While, therefore, he has resorted freely to the rich stores which European learning has collected for the critical st'idy of our authors, he has endeavored to admit into his pages only such information as may fu- made serviceable in the actual work of the class-room.'' HARKNESS'S First Greek Book and Introductory Reader. THIS work is at once a Grammar, an Exercise-Book, and an Introductory Reader. 1. As a Grammar, it presents an outline of the forms and inflections of the language, and a complete analytical Syntax. 2. As an Exercise- Book, it furnishes practice in translating Greek into English, and English into Greek. It thus renders available at every step the pupil's grammatical knowl- edge, and gives him such a practical hold upon the forms and principles of the language as no other course can impart. 3. As an Introductory Header, it furnishes the pupil sufficient practice in translating not only classified sentences, but also connected discourse, in the form of Fables, Anecdotes, and Legends, to prepare him to enter with ease and success upon the consecutive study of the Anabasis of Xenophon. It thus obviates the necessity of any separate Reader, and with the Anabasis furnishes all the reading-matter deemed essential in a course of prepara- tory study. 4. The work is complete in itself, requiring no accompaniment of grammar or lexicon ; but, as it is abundantly furnished with references to the Grammars of Profs. Hadley, Crosby, and Sophocles, it may be used, at the pleasure of the instructor, alone or as a companion to either of those standard works. of From Eev. B. SEARS, D. D., LL. D., late President of Brown University. " This is an admirable work both in plan and execution. I heartily commend it to teachers who wish to unite thoroughness with exactness in their instruction." from C. C. FELTOX, LL. D., late President of Har- vard, University. " I was so much pleased with Prof. Harkness's First Greek Book that I read nearly every word. I think the plan admirable. I feel sure that it will be regarded both by teachers and scholars as not only a very useful, but a very agreeable guide. If I were the teacher of a classical school, I should not fail to introduce this book forthwith." From Rev. JOSEPH CUMMISTGS, President of Wes- leyan University, Connecticut. "It is adapted to lead the beginner in an ex- peditious and pleasing manner to an acquaintance with the Greek language." From Prof. JAMES HADLEY, Tale College. " Prof. Harkness, in his First Greek Book, has made a careful selection of the prominent facts and principles of the language ; he has expressed them in clear and interesting forms of statement, and illustrated them by apt and abundant examples.'' From Prof. E. S. GREGORY, Western Reserve Col- lege, Hudson, Ohio. " I am using Harkness's First Greek Book, and I think it the best book for beginners I ever saw." From Rev. Dr. JOHN J. OWEN, late of the College of New York. " The arrangement is simple, natural, and pro- gressive ; the rules are illustrated by well-selected and pertinent examples; and the external ap- pearance of the work is so beautiful to the eye that it can not well fail of being a favorite book in our academies and classical schools."

From the works of Sallust, Tacitus, Quinctilian, and Cicero. u The desire which has led to the compilation of this volume is that of infusing more life into the study of Latin, as pursued in our classical schools. Two means are employed to this end : one, that of securing the presence of ideas in the mind while the words are being read or repeated; the other, that of habituating the student to the use of that emphasis and inflection in delivery which indicate the living thought behind the speech, and without which all spoken language is dead." Extract from Preface, From the late Dr. WILLIAM R. DIMMOCK, Head Master of Adams Academy. " Rev. F. SEWALL Dear Sir : "... I have read with much interest the plan of your ' Latin Speaker ' as explained in your preface. . . . I should myself welcome it as a useful means of instruc- tion. With best wishes for its success, I am, " Very truly yours, "WILLIAM R. DIMMOCK. " Quincy, Mass., October 12, 1877." From Prof. MARCH, of Lafayette College, Boston, Pa. " I like your main thought very much; and your in- dication of selections seems to me promising. Go on with it. ... F. A. MARCH." from Prof. BOCHER, of Harvard University. "... I think we are on the eve of great changes in the teaching of the classical languages and your book will be one in the new and right direction. "F. BOCHER." From Principal BANCROFT, of Phillips Academy, An- dover, Mass. "... The design is a good one, and if carefully wrought it will meet with a good reception. . . . The field is all your own. ... I wish you great success. . . . "C. F. P. BANCROFT." From Principal PERKINS, of Phillips Exeter Academy, Exeter, N. H. "... I am much pleased with the plan and the way in which you propose to execute it. I am sure if such a book were within reach I should value it highly, and should recommend it to pupils at every stage in their course. ALBERT C. PERKINS." From Prof. FRIEZE, of University of Michigan. "... A very interesting companion for students of Latin. No doubt it can be made very serviceable by teachers, not too much wedded to mere translation ex- ercises to introduce something new. . . . "H. S. FRIEZE." From Prof. EDWARD L. WALTER, of University of Michigan. " . . .1 am heartily in sympathy with the expressed aim of the work, to remove, as far as possible, Latin from the list of dead languages, and give it life. . . . The selections are most admirably made. " EDWARD L. WALTER." From Prof. JOHN -H. CONVERSE, of Racine College, Racine, Wis. "... I desire to express my sympathy with many of its ideas anything should be welcomed now which will serve to give more zest to the study of Latin, and to take away the stigma which the unfortunate name dead language* has fastened upon it helped along by ' dead and alive ' teachers. . . . JOHN H. CONVERSE." From Principal LEAVENWORTH, of Worcester Academy, Worcester, Mass. " I give to your design my most cordial approval. ... I shall look with interest for the appearance of the work as being one that I shall be glad to use extensively in the academy. ... U. LEAVKNWORTH." D.

APPLETONS' NEW READERS. respectfully invite an examination of these books, for which we claim the following points Of SPECIAL EXCELLENCE : SUPERIOR TALENT AND EXPERIENCE OF AUTHORS Dr. W. T. HARBIS is Superin- tendent of the Public Schools of St. Louis. He has had practical experience in all grades, and has been connected Avith these schools constantly for nearly twenty years. As a practical educator, a profound thinker, and able writer, he is widely known both in this country and Europe. Professor A. J. RICKOFF, as Superintendent of the Public Schools of Cincinnati and Cleveland, has had nearly or quite twenty-five years 1 experience, and in his field he is not outranked by any gentleman in America. Professor MARK BAILEY, Instructor in Elocution in Yale College, is known throughout the Union as being without a peer in his profession. Every stroke of his pen, as found in these books, betrays a niasrerly hand. These facts entitle these looks to a very high and respectful consideration. UNITY OF DESIGN AND COMPLETENESS OF EXECUTION. From the first page of the lowest book to the last one of the highest this feature is clearly discernible. Like an elegant and sym- metrical building, whose plan and specifications have been faithfully followed to the minutest details, this series forms one harmonious whole. THE NUMBER OF BOOKS. The series is complete in five books, with no subsidiary or super- numerary ones. A separate Speller is not needed, yet spelling is better taught from them than from any other series with their separate spellers. HELPS FOR TEACHERS AND PUPILS. On every page are found suggestions that enable the pupil and teacher to derive from the reading lesson the most instruction and the highest culture. Among these is a course of Language Lessons, which gives a training in sentence-writing, correction of improper forms, the correct use of punctuation-marks, capitals, plurals, possessives, titles, etc., etc. In the Fourth and Fifth Readers are Foot Notes giving hints on the biographical, historical, scientific, and literary allusions and implications of the piece, such as train the pupil to master the thought contained in the written page. COURSE IN PHONICS. The continuous and thoroughly graded course in phonics and diacritical marking is a distinguishing feature of the series. In the First Reader, consisting of two parts, the com- bined word and phonic methods are admirably developed and carefully graded. In the first fifty-two ]>-i'_res (Part I.), in connection with beautiful and child-life reading lessons, are taught the names of M the letters, the short sounds of the vowels, and the sounds of the consonants and diphthongs. In Part II. are found a systematic marling of silent letters and the more easily distinguished sounds of vowels, and a continued drill in the sounds of consonants. Slate Exercises for training the pupil in spelling, writing, and the marking of vowel-sounds, are also used. In the Second Reader is a complete table of all the vowel and consonant sounds, with their markings according to Webster "A Key to Pronuncia- tion." Preceding each reading lesson the new words of that lesson are carefully marked for a spelling exercise. In the Third Reader the same plan is continued, with the addition, at the close of the volmne, of columns of "comparatively common words," yet such as are easily misspelled a select list of about five hundred words. In the Fourth and Fifth Readers, under the head of " For Preparation," the same general plan is pursued, and at the close of each a select list of about five hundred words is appended. INSTRUCTION IN THE ART OF READING. This department has been prepared by Profes- sor MARK BAILEY, of Yale College, and is far superior to that found in any other series. To his ability his numerous pupils in all parts of the country are glad to testify. The treatment of this department, instead of being thrown into the front of the book a kind of conglomerate is a systematic course of lesson?, begun in the Third Reader, and, by easy gradation, is continued throughout the Fourth and Fifth Renders. In the Third Reader, see "How to Read," pages 8. 25, 42, 56, etc. ; in the Fourth Reader, pages 15, 55, 86, 105, 169, etc. ; and in the Fifth, pages 15, 44, 69, 85, 209, 266, etc. This course in Elocution is alone worth the cost of the series. CHARACTER AND VARIETY OF SELECTIONS Among these are found many of the gems of the standard literature of our language. In the selection of matter a large number of original pieces are found in the Second and Third Readers, while the Fourth and Fifth Readers are mainly devoted to the purpose of initiating the child into the style and peculiarities of thought and expression found in the best authors. PICTORIAL ILLUSTRATIONS. In this particular they are without a rival. Note the elegant and profuse illustrations found in the lower numbers, while the Fourth and Fifth contain each eight full-page cuts, printed on extra heavy paper, each a specimen of artistic merit, and productive of a pure aesthetic taste. VARIETY AND EXTENT OF CULTURE. By no other series can so much be made of the reading lesson. In. the lower numbers, the pieces, original and selected, teach kindness, gentleness, obedience, love of Nature, and kindred virtues. They teach in their language-lessons, their lessons on letter-writing, etc., those practical things that children are early called to practice. D. APPLETON & CO., Publishers, 549 & 551 Broadway, N.

The great favor with which Cornell's systematic course in Geography has been received is shown by hundreds of recommendations from leading teachers, by its immense /PRIMARY GEOGRAPHY ........ sales, and by the satisfaction it has given when rin-DlvrriT T >C!
