Exhaustion

HORSFORD'S ACID PHOSPHATE.

The phosphates of the system are
consumed with every effort, and ex-
haustion usually indicates a lack of
supply. The Acid Phosphate supplies
the phosphates, thereby relieving ex-
haustion, and increasing the capacity
for labor. Pleasant to the taste.

DR. A. N. KROUT, Van Wert, O., says:
Decidedly beneficial in nervous exhaustion."
DR. S. T. NEWMAN, St. Louis, Mo., says:
A remedy of great service in many forms of
exhaustion."

GREEK AND LATIN DICTIONARIES

AND

WORKS OF REFERENCE.

A good-working dictionary is one of the best tools that can be put into the hands of a student of a language. Without it he can never hope to master the idioms and acquire the deeper meaning and rich significance of words which is so essential to the true understanding and appreciation of any tongue. The meagre vocabularies to be found in the texts of classic authors with which most students in the schools of the day are equipped, are entirely inadequate for their purpose, and the economy which prompts their use is altogether baleful in its effects. The better class of instructors are fully alive to the need of the students in this particular, and are constantly urging them to abandon the vocabularies and substitute good-working dictionaries in their stead. This fact is strongly emphasized in the remarks made by many leading instructors in their comments on "Lewis's Elementary Latin Dictionary," recently submitted to them for examination, as follows:

L. C. LORD, President State Normal School, Moorhead, Minn., writes: "I am sure that if, after the first year's Latin, pupils were supplied with editions of authors without vocabularies, and were required to own this Dictionary, that their vocabulary of Latin words would be largely increased, if not doubled."

W. A. GREESON, Principal of High School, Grand Rapids, Mich., writes: "I feel quite sure that your 'Lewis's Elementary Latin Dictionary' is just what I can and will recommend most heartily to our Latin students. All our preparatory Latin texts are published now, you know, with a vocabulary-a pernicious practice in my opinion-so that students can get through a preparatory school without owning a dictionary. But I shall be glad to take occasion to recommend them to buy a dictionary, and shall advise them to buy yours.'

E. W. CHASE, Principal of High School, Highland Park, Ill., writes: "I am highly pleased with your 'Lewis's Elementary Latin Dictionary. Most pupils with us use only the vocabulary found in our books of Latin texts. I am sure, however, we get better Latin scholarship when the Dictionary is used instead of the vocabulary appended to our texts. I urge those who intend to take a college course to use the Dictionary as early as possible. Wish it was so all were obliged to do the same, and vocabularies could be done away with in all Latin texts after the second year in Latin."

IRWIN SHEPARD, President State Normal School, Winona, Minn., writes: "Your 'Lewis's Elementary Latin Dictionary' seems to me to be an excellent book and well suited to the class of students for whom it is intended. The use of such a Dictionary is certainly much to be preferred over the vocabularies which are so generally relied upon throughout a Latin preparatory course."

J. G. PATTENGILL, Principal of High School, Ann Arbor, Mich., writes: "I have found your 'Lewis's Elementary Latin Dictionary' thus far accurate and scholarly, and am very much pleased with it. I shall recommend it to my classes hereafter, and hope it may help to abate the 'special vocabulary' nuisance.

Messrs. HARPER & BROTHERS invite attention to the following list of Greek and Latin Lexicons and Works of Reference which have long been recognized as standard in the schools throughout the country:

LATIN DICTIONARIES.

Harper's Latin Dictionary.

A New Latin Dictionary, Founded on the Translation of "Freund's Latin-German Lexicon." Edited by E. A. ANDREWS, LL.D. Revised, Enlarged, and in great part Rewritten by CHARLTON T. LEWIS, Ph.D., and CHARLES SHORT, LL.D., Professor of Latin in Columbia College, New York. 2030 pages. Royal 8vo, Sheep, $6 50; Full Russia, $10 00.

The translation of Dr. Freund's great Latin-German Lexicon, edited by the late E. A. Andrews, LL.D., and published in 1850, has been from that time in extensive use throughout England and America. It has had for competitors, indeed, in the schools and colleges of both countries, only works which are substantially reprints or abridgments of itself. As it has thus been the standard book of reference of its kind for a generation of scholars, its merits need no description here.

Meanwhile, great advantages have been made in the science on which lexicography depends. Minute research in manuscript authorities has largely restored the texts of

the classical writers, and even their orthography. Philology has traced the growth and history of thousands of words, and revealed meanings and shades of meaning which were long unknown. Syntax has been subjected to a profounder analysis. The history of ancient nations, the private life of their citizens, the thoughts and beliefs of their writers, have been closely scrutinized in the light of accumulating information. Thus, the student of to-day may justly demand of his Lexicon far more than the scholarship of thirty years ago could furnish. The present work is the result of a series of earnest efforts by the Publishers to meet this demand.

Lewis's Latin Dictionary for Schools.

A Latin Dictionary for Schools. By CHARLTON T. LEWIS, Ph.D.
Large 8vo, Cloth, $5 50; Sheep, $6 oo.

This dictionary is not an abridgment, but an entirely new and independent work, designed to explain every word or phrase in the Latin literature commonly read in schools, viz., the complete works of Cæsar, Terence, Cicero, Livy, Nepos, Vergil, Horace, Ovid, Juvenal, Phædrus, and Cur

tius, the Catiline and Jugurtha of Sallust, the Germania and Agricola of Tacitus, and a few words found in some extracts of Florus, Eutropius, and Justinus. The original meaning of every word is first given, and then the modifications which it underwent in usage.

An Elementary Latin Dictionary. By CHARLTON T. LEWIS, Ph.D.
Small 4to, Half Leather, $2 00.

The work is substantially an abridgment of the author's "Latin Dictionary for Schools," but is sufficiently full to meet the needs of students in preparatory or fitting schools, and also in the first and second years' work in the colleges. It answers in every respect to the demand for a good working dictionary at a reasonable price.

952 pages.

Being an abridgment of a work that is already well known and that has been received in all quarters with admiration and approval, there is no need of extended remarks upon details of the present book. It is, without any doubt, the most scholarly and correct elementary Latin dictionary that has ever been published in English.-N. Y. Evening Post.

The teacher who recommends it to his students does not feel half guilty of a sin against the eyes of his scholars.-Prof. NEWTON S. FULLER, Ripon College, Ripon, Wis.

Am especially pleased with the treatment of derivations.-Prof. J. E. GOODRICH, University of Vermont, Burlington, Vt.

It is a work of great merit. The definitions show the finest discrimination.-Prof. Amizi AtWATER, Indiana University, Bloomington, Ind.

Anthon's Latin-English and English-Latin Dictionary.

A Latin-English and English-Latin Dictionary, for the Use of Schools. Chiefly from the Lexicons of Freund, Georges, and Kaltschmidt. 1260 pages. Small 4t0, Sheep, $2 50.

Smith's English-Latin Dictionary.

A Copious and Critical English-Latin Dictionary. By WILLIAM SMITH, LL.D., and THEOPHILUS D. HALL, M.A. With a Dictionary of Proper Names. 754 pages. Royal 8vo, Sheep, $4 00.

This is the best and most complete work of the kind which we possess.-London Spectator.
