Easy Selections from Ovid. Edited, with Notes, Vocabularies, and Exercises

in Latin Verse Composition, by H. Wilkinson, M.A. (Macmillan and Co.)—This is an excellent little book. The selections have been carefully chosen, and will prove interesting as well as easy to the young scholar. Wherever help is really needed, it is supplied in the notes. Perhaps the most useful part of the volume is to be found in the verse exercises. All are agreed that if any one wishes to write good elegiac verse, he must have some knowledge of Ovidian words and phrases. This know- ledge Mr. Wilkinson's method is well calculated to ensure.
