To those whose classical education has been wholly neglected the work will be found to be a suitable "Vade mecum," and even to those who learnt a good deal of Latin at school it will be found to be highly useful.—North British Advertiser.
It is a most admirable compilation. We can heartily recommend it as a book of reference, and from which most genuine instruction can be extracted.—Glasgow Citizen.
In this handy little book the compiler has collected the Latin quotations which occur most frequently in the serial literature of the day, arranging them alphabetically along with translations. This is truly a "handy referential volume," and deserving of a large sale.—Edinburgh Courant.
