Latin Dialogues for School Representation. By Constance M.

Ashford. (Swan Sonnenschein.)—Miss Ashford gives us here 43;ght sufficiently-amusing little dialogues, the Latin and English being benevolently put on opposite pages. She prefixes some stage directions and general suggestions. We wish her well in her effort to entice learners into speaking Latin ; few things

would be more useful to teachers. But she must pardon a few criticisms. Why mysteriosae ? It is not Latin. And if she will mark quantities, she should be careful to mark them right, and to see that the printer does not play tricks with her markings. We find roses, mater, vOcasti, es, forum, sale, egregiae, probate, ingenium, and Vette ! Ezgu:esivi is not the usual form, to say the least.
