Student's Latin Grammar. By W. Smith, LL.D. Student's Greek Grammar.
By Dr. George Curtius. Edited by Dr. W. Smith. (Murray.) -These works are designed to occupy an intermediate place between the larger grammatical treatises which are too copious to be profitably used by the student, and those time-honoured skeleton grammars which are still in common use in most schools. As regards their authors, Dr. Smith has been far too long before the public to require any intro-
duction at our hands ; and Dr. Curtius is Professor of Greek in the University of Loipzic, and occupies a high position among German scholars. Both works appear to us to be carefully put together, and to contain all that is and little that is not necessary, and we have no doubt that they will be found to supply a real want. Surely, the advance made by philology within the last few years is sufficiently great to call for the production of new manuals of the science.
