THEIR GOOD SENSE, SOUND ADVICE, AND GENIAL HUMOR, COMMEND THEM TO ALL. "This series is one of the best of the kind we have ever met with. The writer is evidently a shrewd observer, and he gives an infinite deal of wholesome advice in a plain, open, straightforward manner. Winle he inculcates true religious principles, he indulges in no cant, and his style is such as will at once attract the attention of those for whom the work is written."-N. Y. Courier and Enquirer. "Pleasantly told, and couched in such language that it cannot fail to win its way to the hearts of the young. The subjects treated bear upon all the relations of life; and the moral tone which characterizes every page, the earnestness which is breathed into every line, and the genuine love of the good, the true, and the beautiful, which casts its halo over the whole work, cannot fail to leave their impress on the mind of the reader."-Buf. Cour. "We have rarely read a volume which contained more plain, good, common sense, or practicable advice. It is written in a taking style, and will be a treasure in many a household. It is the best book that has appeared."—Boston Atlas. "The strong common sense which pervades them, the frank and manly utterance of wholesome truths in pointed and beautiful language, and the genial sympathy which the author has for those whom he addresses, cannot fail to commend his work to general favor. "FOR PURE ENGLISH DICTION AND BEAUTIFUL IMAGERY IT WILL TAKE ITS PLACE IRVING'S SKETCH-BOOK." "These letters are written with such frankness, honesty, and good sense, and exhibit such a wholesome horror of humbug and cant, that we know the author must be a 'good fellow,' and, while pleased to read his book, learn to like him."-Hartford Press. "They contain many truthful and valuable suggestions, presented in the cultivated and attractive style of a practiced writer. There is an earnestness and hearty tone to the whole which commends the book to the good opinion of all"-Hartford Times. "There is large fund of that uncommon quality termed common sense in this volume, couched in plain language. It goes to the point, and is likely to do much good."-Boston Daily Advertiser. It has something of the freshness and expansion of the mountain air in which it was composed. Its counsels are urgent, but always affectionate, never dealing in over-statements for the sake of effect, but admirably tempered by modesty and common sense."N. Y. Tribune. NEW YORK.

CROOK'S & SCHEM'S Latin-English School Lexicon ON THE BASIS OF THE LATIN-GERMAN LEXICON OF DR. C. F. INGERSLEV. By G. R. CROOKS, D.D., &. A. J. SCHEM, A.M. ONE VOLUME. ROYAL OCTAVO. PRICE THREE DOLLARS The authors of the present work had at first the intention of preparing for American schools and colleges, a Translation of the excellent Latin German School Lexicon of Professor Ingerslev. The plan of the work seemed to them to be a decided improvement in Latin lexicography, and to meet more fully than its predecessors the wants of students They had not proceeded far, however, in their labors, before they became aware of the necessity of recasting many of the articles, and of adding new ones. They decided there. fore to prepare an entirely independent work, using the Lexicon of Ingerslev only as a basis. For this purpose the whole of lexical literature has been carefully examinedespecially the recent works of Dr. W. Smith, Georges (the last edition of 1855), Koch and Klotz,-from all of which numerous suggestions have been derived and additions made. The School Lexicon of Prof. Ingerslev has met, in Germany, with extraordinary suc cess, as appears from the encomiums of eminent German scholars. The praises of the critics are especially bestowed upon the excellence of Ingerslev's plan. We have taken great pains to preserve for our work all of the characteristic features of this plan, and at the same time to improve it in the execution of details. This work gives,— 1. SPECIAL ATTENTION to the words of Latin authors read in colleges and schools. 2. The LEADING DEFINITIONS in broad, clear type, so as to be easily caught by the eye 3. The SIGNIFICATION perspicuously arranged and illustrated by examples easily understood, or if difficult, carefully translated. 4. The ORIGIN of each word, where it is known. 5. A COMPARISON of important words with their synonyms. 6. BRIEF NOTICES of proper names, and of the adjectives derived from them. RECOMMENDATIONS. INGERSLEV'S LATIN GERMAN LEXICON. From DR. ECKSTEIN, Halle, Prussia, I have found, from a careful use of it, that it fully answers its aim, which is to meet the necessities of students, and that it commends itself, above other works of the kind, by a circumspect selection of materials, a skilful arrangement and development of significations, and a clear and well-considered treatment of synonyms. It will give me pleasure to contribute to its circulation. From DR. ELLENDT, Eisleben, Prussia, The Lexicon of Ingerslev is so advantageously distinguished by its judicious selection of words, and its brief and accurate treatment of them, that it can be recommended, with confidence, to all learned institutions. From DR. HOEGG, Director of the Gymnasium of Arnsberg, Prussia. I shall recommend the Lexicon of Ingerslev, with great pleasure, to our students. As far as I have been able to examine several articles, which are of particular importance in a school-lexicon, it meets, in its plan and execution, the demands of the school in an entirely satisfactory manner. From DR. MUMSEN, Director of the Joakim Gymnasium in Berlin After a careful examination of the Lexicon of Ingerslev, I do not hesitate to say, that in the suitableness of its plan, the copiousness and excellent arrangement of its materials, and the precision of its conception, it excels all other works of the kind. CROOKS AND SCHEM'S LATIN-ENGLISH LEXICON. I am acquainted with Ingerslev's Latin Lexicon, and believe it to be the best of the many school lexicons now extant in Germany. Indeed, this is the testimony of many of the best gymnasial teachers, as well as of many eminent scholars. Whatever commendation may be given to Ingersley is still more amply due to Crooks and Schem's Lexicon. I have examined a portion of the proof-sheets, and have had the opportunity of personally knowing how carefully and conscientiously the authors have carried on the work throughout. Their book retains Ingerslev's perspicuous arrangement; but in point of etymological matter, of attention to proper names, of discrimination in the general use of the material, and of adaptation to the wants of students, it is far in advance of its German prototype. The work ought to find its way at once into all our classical schools, and into the lower college classes. From Prof. II. M. JOHNSON, Dickinson College. The authors of this work have laid under contribution the products of the most recent and scientific labors in the department of Latin lexicography; and their own well-merited reputation for ripe scholarship gives assurance, that nothing will be wanting to give it completeness and adaptation to the wants of the student. From Rev. GEO. LOOMIS, late President of the Wesleyan Female College, Wilmington, Del. I have no hesitancy in expressing au opinion, that, as a standard of pure Latinity, it is superior to any school lexicon now in use.
