CHEMISTRY.--The Elucidation of Principles and the explanation
of Chemical Phenomena are made as clear and concise as possible, by
many experiments.

MAGNETISM.--This is so very instructive a branch of Science
that many experiments are well understood by the Pupils, both in the
use of the Natural Magnet and the Electro-Magnet.

GALVANISM.--There are several Galvanic Batteries in use, so
that the Boys accustomed to them can readily apply a particular sort
to any experiment.

TELEGRAPHY.--Communication is carried on at any distance
chosen, or from one part of the house to another.

PRINTING.--This is likewise thoroughly explained by the use
of a Press and all the apparatus attached, including several cases of
Type.

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN, having full command of the School of Science
Department, is enabled, without engaging the services of Professional
Men (who generally make a very high charge), to give suitable Lectures
without increasing the Fees as contained below.

Parents will thus see that the lectures _being both amusing and
instructive_ must be conducive to the _expansion of the mind_, at the
same time making an _agreeable change_ in the general School routine.

SCHOOL FEES:

For Pupils above 10 years of age  8 Guineas per Annum.
 "    "    under 10   "     "     6    "       "

CRUCES AND CRITICISMS: an Examination of Certain Passages in Greek
and Latin Texts. By WILLIAM W. MARSHALL, M.A., B.C.L., F.R.S.L., of
the Inner Temple, formerly Scholar of Hertford College, Oxford. Demy
8vo., Cloth 2s. 6d., Paper Covers 2s. London: ELLIOT STOCK, 62,
Paternoster Row, E.C. 1886.


_BY THE SAME AUTHOR._

PLUTARCH'S LIVES OF THE GRACCHI, translated from the text of
Sintenis, with Introduction, Marginal Analysis, and Appendices. By
WILLIAM W. MARSHALL, B.A., of the Inner Temple, late Scholar
of Hertford College, Oxford. Crown 8vo., paper covers, 1s. 6d., or
cloth, 2s. Oxford, JAMES THORNTON. 1881.

     "Mr. MARSHALL has succeeded in cutting out of
     Plutarch a very neat piece of biography and presenting it in
     a pleasant English dress, with a careful introduction and a
     few useful Appendices. The English is the editor's, and is
     very agreeable reading. The Introduction is a clever account
     of Plutarch, with a critical notice of his work, his merits,
     and his inaccuracies, together with a summary sketch of the
     affairs of Rome when the Gracchi came into notice. The
     student of Roman history will be glad of this small, but
     carefully edited, account of the two brethren."--_School
     Guardian._
