Questions and Exercises for Classical Scholarships. (Thornton, Oxford.)—This is a

useful compilation of fifty critical papers, in- cluding a supplement of questions on literature, and nearly a hundred pieces for unseen translation from Greek and Latin. The more difficult questions are indicated by a special way of numbering them„ but the whole book is intended, as its title indicates, only for those who have made some progress in scholarship. It differs from Mr. Gantillou's " Classical Examination Papers," in that it merely tests knowledge already acquired, and is not furnished with notes or references. Those who work with success through the unseen passages will have little further to dread in that line.
