The Student's Companion to Latin Authors. By George Middle- ton,

M.A., and Thomas R. Mills, M.A. (Macmillan and Co.)— Professor W. M. Ramsay prefaces this volume with a well- deserved commendation. It gives the substantial contents of much larger and more pretentious works in a very moderate com- pass. The authors treated of range from Livius Andronicue to Suetonius, and so take in about four centuries. Our authors deal with the works of the various writers, their literary characteristics, and the contributions which students, ancient and modern, have made to their illustration and interpretation. It will be found a most useful handbook by the student.
