Beautiful Thoughts from Greek Authors. By C. T. Ramage, LLD.

(Hamilton, Adams, and Co.)—These extracts are given in the original Greek with a translation, generally well executed ; but there is always a strangeness and incongruity about classical ideas in an English dress. The most useful part of the book is, we think, the numerous references to parallel passages from the Scriptures and profane authors.
