Sermon BOOKS.—Second Latin Lessons. By C. H. Dix, M.A. (Rivingtons.
2s. 6d.)—This looks liken useful book,—one must speak with reserve of a school-book till it has been actually tried. First, we have recommendations (by the Board of Education) on the pro- nmiciation of Latin. These are followed by forty-two lessons. Many of them are more or less adapted; an excellent plan when it is carried out by a scholar. Then we have exercises, English into Latin, with judicious suggestions. Finally come notes and grammar ; various details of accidence are given; and there are questions, &c., in syntax. A vocabulary completes the volume.— The Story of England: Early Times to 1272, by W. S. Robinson, M.A. (same publishers, 2s.), with its good pictures, maps, &c., seems to promise well.—A History of the British Empire, by Mary H. Forbes, M.A. (Ralph Holland and Co., 23. 6d. net), brings down to the present time Clough's Expansion of the British Empire, a volume which ends with 1858.—From the same publishers we have The Junior Scientific Geography : Book I., The British Isles, by Ellis W. Heaton, B.Sc. (1s. net.)
