By William Smith, LL.D. Edited by H.
Drisler, A.M. 12mo, pp. 186. Harper & Brothers.
This is an elementary class-book, and the name of the profound scholar
standing upon its title-page will at once commend it to all intelligent
teachers. It is the first of a series intended to simplify the study of
the Latin language, in which will be combined the advantages of the
older and modern methods of instruction. The experienced author has
labored, by a philosophical series of repetitions, to enable the
beginner to fix declensions and conjugations thoroughly in his memory,
to learn their usage by the constructing of simple sentences as soon as
he commences the study of the language, and to accumulate gradually a
stock of useful words. This is, surely, the only method to make a dead
language live in the mind of a pupil.
A TEXT-BOOK OF PENMANSHIP, containing all the established
rules and principles of the art, with rules for Punctuation,
Direction, and Forms for Letter Writing: to which are added a brief
History of Writing, and Hints on Writing Materials, &c., &c., for
Teachers and Pupils. By H. W. Ellsworth, teacher of Penmanship in
the public schools of New York city, and for several years teacher
of Bookkeeping, Penmanship, and Commercial Correspondence in
Bryant, Stratton & Co.'s Chain of Mercantile Colleges. D. Appleton
& Co., New York.
Those accustomed to the wearisome labor of deciphering illegible
handwriting will welcome the appearance of any 'standard text-book
enabling all to become tolerable writers.
