WITH TWENTY-FOUR TINTED ILLUSTRATIONS, FROM FLAXMAN'S DESIGNS.
"A book which ought to become an English classic. It is full
of the pure Homeric flavour, and we think we may predict that
it will retain its place in our literature."--_Spectator._
"All Mr. Church's stories are told with rare grace and
fidelity."--_Times._
"We can give Mr. Church no higher praise than that he has
succeeded in his undertaking. We doubt whether the first and
greatest of story-tellers has ever before been so
appropriately rendered for children."--_Academy._
"Mr. Church has long since proved himself a ripe and good
scholar, though he had not given evidence of the special
Homeric insight which this charming volume
displays."--_Saturday Review._

SERIES OF CHEAP SCHOOL BOOKS.
_Conducted by the Rev. A. J. CHURCH, M.A.,
Head Master of Retford Grammar School._
The _Saturday Review_ says:--"We cannot too warmly hail this
series. If all the schoolmasters in England were to adopt it
they would have fewer occasions to complain of boys not
having read their notes, and fewer grumblings on the part of
patresfamilias at the heavy items of the book bill."
Each volume of Selections contains sufficient matter for the
work of a Term, with Notes by a Competent Editor.
