Scnoon - Boows. — The Story of the Persian War from Heroclotus. By C.
C. Tancock, M.A. (John Murray.)—Mr. Tancock has had permission to use Canon Rawlinson's translation and notes, and he has thus put together a very useful little book. It is meant for students, whether knowing Greek or not, and should help them greatly.—Outlines of the History of Classical Theology, by Alfred Gudeman (Ginn and Co., Boston, U.S.), appears in a third edition, "revised and enlarged." The English section seems to us very deficient.—First Steps in Continuous Latin Prose, by W. C. Flamstead Walters, M.A. (Blackie and Son), will be found useful. Mr. Walters works some of his pieces on the black- board, so to speak, showing practically how they are done.—We have received a number of little books :—Rivington's Single Term Latin and Greek Readers (Rivington, Percival, and Co.), each volume containing enough for a term's work, with an allowance for revision and examination. "Sixth Term, Book III.," for instance, contains 386 lines from Ovid, 52 from Horace, and 116 from Virgil, with notes and a vocabulary. The introduction con- tains a brief account of the metres (but nothing, we observe, about the Horatian metres, though something is said in the notes).— Drill in the Essentials of French, Accidence and Elementary Syntax, by Victor Spiers, M.A. (Simpkin, Marshall, and Co.), is the work of an experienced teacher, and likely to be useful.—The Tutorial Trigonometry, by W. Briggs, M.A., and G. H. Bryan, Sc.D. (W. B. Clive), is sufficiently commended when we say that it belongs to the very successful " University Tutorial Series."
