A TUTOR'S COUNSEL TO HIS PUPILS.
En Avant, Messieurs! Letters and Essays. By the REV. G. H. D. MATHIAS, M.A. Second Edition. Small 12mo. Extra Cloth. Price $1.50.
This truly admirable little volume is made up of scattered fragments of instruction, furnished by the author in his capacity of tutor, to a pupil. It comprises a series of brief essays on such topics as these: On the Study of Language; Where had I best Travel; On Style; On English Composition; On Novels; How to give money away; A little Learning is not a dangerous thing, etc. They are written in a lively, easy style, and abound with practical suggestions and information of the highest value. The writer's power of illustrating and enforcing his precepts by the adduction of pertinent facts, is remarkable, and such as tutors are rarely blessed with. The essays on Style and English Composition are particularly worthy of perusal; and every page of the book contains matter that will profit not only the young but the old.—Boston Commercial Bulletin.
