CLASSICAL WRITERS.
Edited by JOHN RICHARD GREEN.
16 mo. Flexible cloth. Prior, 60 cents.
Under the above title, Messrs. D. Appleton &. Co. are issuing a series of small volumes upon some of the principal classical and English writers, whose works form subjects of study in our colleges, or which are read by the general public concerned in classical and English literature for its own sake. As the object of the series is educational, care is taken to impart information in a systematic and thorough way, while an intelligent interest in the writers and their works is sought to be aroused by a clear and attractive style of treatment. Classical authors especially have too long been regarded as mere instruments for teaching pupils the principles of grammar and language, while the personality of the men themselves and the circumstances under which they wrote have been kept in the background. Against such an irrational and one-sided method of educa- tion the present series is a protest.
It is a principle of the series that, by careful selection of authors, the best scholars in each department shall have the opportunity of speaking directly to students and readers, each on the subject which he has made his own.
The following volumes are in preparation:
ENGLISH. MILTON......Rev. Stopford Brooke. [Ready. BACON......Rev. Dr. Abbott. SPENSER......Professor J. W. Hales. CHAUCER......F. J. Furnivall.
GREEK. HERODOTUS......Professor Bryce. SOPHOCLES......Professor Lewis Campbell. DEMOSTHENES......S. H. Butcher, M.A. EURIPIDES......Professor Mahaffy. [Ready.
LATIN. VIRGIL......Professor Nettleship. HORACE......T. H. Ward, M.A. CICERO......Professor A. S. Wilkins. LIVY......W. W. Capes, M.A.

Though it is of the greatest importance that books upon health should be in the highest degree trustworthy, it is notorious that most of the cheap and popular kind are mere crude compiistions of incom- petent persons, aud are often misleading and injurious. Impressed by these considerations, several eminent nuidivrd find si-ir-ntifitr men of Lon- don have combined to [>rep:ire u s.<Tles of Health 1'hisiers. of n character that shall be entitled to the fullest confidence. T lie y are to be brief, sin. pie, and elementary in sis tement, filled with snl-inntial and useful information suitable for the guidance of grown-up people. Each primer will be written by a gentleman specially competent 10 treat his subject, wnile the critical supervision id' ihe i"».k* is in the bands of n committee who will act as editors.
As these little bonks are produced by English authors, they are naturally based very much upon English experience, but it mailers little whence illustrations i] such subjects are ilr.inn, because the essentia! conditions of avoiding disease and preserving health are to a great deg everywhere the same.

By Brother AZARIAS, Professor of English Literature in Rock Hill College, Maryland. 1 vol., 12iiio. Cloth. Price, $1.25. "In some respects the author has written a text-book superior to any we know now in use. There are few writers so well prepared in what might be termed the technique of Old English history and literature. His chapter on the Kelt and Teuton is admirable."— New York Times. " The work will commend itself to notice for its concise and agreeable style, its logical method, and the philosophic and poetic, as well as historical, treatment of theme. The author is master of his subject."— Providence Journal. 44 The author has exhibited great skill in presenting to the reader a clear and correct view of the literature and condition of things in England at that remote age, and the work is one of special interest." — Boston Post. 44 A valuable text-book."— Boston Globe. 44 A work of remarkable interest."— Boston Evening Transcript. 44 A book of genuine literary interest and value."— Cleveland Herald. 44 Within its covers there is a wealth of erudition, research, and scholarly labor, which places the book beside those of Wright, Spalding, and Craik. The English of the writer is a model for clearness and point." — TJtica Daily Observer. 4 • One of the most thorough and best-arranged books on the subject that we have seen."— Troy Press. 44 The literature of England was born and growing ages before William of Normandy set foot in England. The work before us proves this. It shows the origin and sources of Old English Literature, the elements that entered into it, its ruling ideas and character, its gradual growth and development up to the Nor- man Conquest. It is a work of original and laborious research, containing not crude materials, but the mature results of careful, discriminating analysis and profound study and reflection."— The Catholic Standard.
