A DICTIONARY OF LATIN PHRASES; comprehending a Methodical Digest of the
various Phrases from the best Authors, which have been Collected in all
Phraseological Works hitherto published; for the more speedy progress of
Students in Latin Composition. By WILLIAM ROBERTSON, AM. of Cambridge. A
New Edition, with considerable Additions, Alterations, and Corrections. In
a very thick volume royal 12mo. 15s. bound.
*** The present edition has this advantage over its predecessors, that
it is enriched with many hundred phrases which have hitherto been
unrecorded; and these have been drawn from the purest fountains, by
actual perusal; from Cicero, Tacitus, Terence, Plautus, &c.
"The utility of this work to students in Latin composition is too evident
to need pointing out; and we doubt not it will readily find a due place
in the list of School Books."--Gentleman's Magazine.
"If the work in its 'first estate' was a favourite treatise at our
schools, it can have nothing to fear in its renovated form, where its
barbarisms have been expunged, and some thousand phrases, drawn from the
purest sources, have been added: we shall merely observe that it is an
excellent Key to Latin Composition."--Lit. Chronicle.
ESSAYS ON THE INSTITUTIONS, GOVERNMENT, AND MANNERS OF THE STATES OF
ANCIENT GREECE. The Second Edition, 12mo. price 7s. By HENRY DAVID HILL,
DD. Professor of Greek in the University of St. Andrew's.
"To young persons who are just entering upon the higher classics, and to
studious men who are desirous of repairing, by their own industry, the
accidental defects of an imperfect education, a more useful assistant
cannot, we think, well be furnished."--Quarterly Review.
SKETCHES OF THE DOMESTIC MANNERS AND INSTITUTIONS OF THE ROMANS. 12mo. 7s.
"Carefully and judiciously compiled from a variety of the best sources,
there are few books of the kind which we could recommend to be put into
the hands of young persons with greater satisfaction than this little
volume. Its contents embrace, we think, every subject of importance
connected with Roman society."--Lit. Gazette.
"The work before us is an improvement upon preceding summaries of the
kind, and in our opinion a very successful one."--Gentleman's Magazine.
ELEMENTS OF GREEK PROSODY AND METRE, compiled from the best Authorities,
