Kiihner's Elementary Greek Grammar. Translated by S. H. Taylor, and

revised by Charles W. Bateman, LL.B. (flimpkin, Marshall, and Co.)—Dr. Jelf's translation of Raphael Kiihner's great work on the grammar of the Greek language has long been well known to English scholars. This work, intended for beginners, is written something after the fashion of Mr. Kerchever Arnold's first Latin and. Greek books. It comprises at once grammar, delectus, exercise-book, and lexicon ; and the pupil thus practically applies his grammatical knowledge day by day as he learns it. The main difficulty of teaching children grammar on the old system is that they can see no practical use in it, and it is therefore uninteresting, not to say unmeaning. The work of the revision is thoroughly well done.
