POPULAR SCHOOL BOOKS,

WORKS of INFORMATION for YOUTH.
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.

A PRACTICAL GERMAN GRAMMAR; or a New and Easy Method of acquiring a thorough knowledge of the German Language; for the use of Schools and Private Students. By John Rowbotham, Master of the Classical, &c. Academy, Walworth. 12mo. price 6s. 6d. boards; or 7s. bound.
"Mr. Rowbotham has produced the clearest German and English Grammar that we have seen. The study of German has hitherto been obstructed in England by the circumstance that the Grammars of that Language have been the forbidding productions of Germans, and hence they have been German and English, instead of being English and German. By means of Mr. Rowbotham's luminous grammar, in which he exhibits a corresponding familiarity with both languages, the study of German is likely to be considerably promoted."—Monthly Mag. June, 1824.
"This desideratum (a good German Grammar) Mr. R. has not only supplied, but supplied with ability and effect; and the Literary World is highly indebted to him for the clear, precise, and comprehensive manner in which he has accomplished his task."—Critical Gazette, July, 1824.

"This excellent work may be considered as a Third Volume, though it does not assume that form, and though it is not necessary that the two former should be read in order to understand it. The first is "Self-cultivation Recommended," the second is "Advice to the Teens." We cannot render to our readers a greater service than by recommending to them, in the most earnest manner, these three volumes, the last of which does not yield in point of excellence to either of the former."—Baptist Magazine.

Having given an extract, the Reviewer adds—"After this quotation, it is needless to say that it is an admirable little work to be put into the bands of the juvenile reader."—Lit. Chron.

GUY'S SCHOOL GEOGRAPHY, on a new, easy, and highly improved Plan; comprising not only a complete General Description, but much Topographical Information, in a well-digested Order; exhibiting three distinct Parts, and yet forming one connected Whole: expressly adapted to every Age and Capacity, and to every class of Learners, both in Ladies' and Gentlemen's Schools. The Ninth Edition, handsomely printed in crown 12mo. and illustrated with seven Maps, engraved by J. C. Russell, jun. Price 3s. bound.
"We think this work entitled to unqualified approbation. It unites utility with cheapness. Its method is simple and practicable, and well adapted to the first wants of the mind. Its ample title-page professes no more than what is performed in the body of the work. Mr. Guy is already known as the Author of some other works of a similar nature, and this will add to his merit in that species of composition."—Universal Magazine.
"The present epitome of Geography challenges comparison either with any of the author's former publications, or with those of others upon the same subject, not even excepting the popular 'Grammar of Geography, by Goldsmith.' Contrasted with the latter, it contains upwards of one-fourth more matter, and perhaps, not less than double the real information. In Guy we find, in addition to the usual Geographical description of kingdoms, an abstract of their natural curiosities, animals, climate, soil, inhabitants, religion, manners, customs, language, government, chronology, and history. In Goldsmith we find almost nothing more than the names of a few (and only a few) rivers, provinces, and chief towns, without any thing to excite attention or curiosity, farther than what appears in the outline map of a country. Goldsmith indeed merely talks about geography, or the physical and political divisions of the globe; Guy describes them agreeably, and presents to the reader a complete and faithful portrait, in miniature, of the habitable world, equally intelligible and interesting to the youth and the man."—Antijacobin Review.
Since the first publication of this Geography in 1810, nearly 100,000 copies have been sold, and its superiority over other works of the same kind is becoming daily more manifest—the last year's sale being double that of any of the preceding. In this edition many improvements have been added, the list of accepted Geographical names is greatly enlarged, much original matter respecting the extensive Empire of TONKIN is annexed, the book is printed in a superior style on the best paper, and the whole forms a most perfect and highly interesting School Book.
*** THE MAPS, printed on a stout Royal Drawing Paper, and beautifully coloured, are done up separately for the use of Teachers, price 2s.
A KEY TO GUY'S GEOGRAPHY, containing Answers to all the Questions and the Problems on the Globes, in this Geography. Price 1s. 6d. sewed.
A CHART OF GENERAL HISTORY, Ancient and Modern. Fourth Edition corrected. On a sheet of Columbier drawing-paper, price 7s. coloured; on canvass and rollers, 10s. 6d.; and varnished 14s.
A Chart of this kind will greatly facilitate the student's progress, and give him clearer ideas of the rise, duration, and fall of each kingdom and empire, than the perusal of many volumes. It is, in short, to History, what Maps are to Geography; and a mode of representation which gives a kind of locality to events; and conveys not only distinct ideas of distant events in any one country, but the relative occurrences of different nations.
C. Baldwin, Printer,
