From PROF. JonN WrLSoN, Prep. Dep. Diclcinson College, Carlisle, Dec. 8,1848. I have examined the three volumes wtth considerable care. andean give tliem my unqualified approbation. The plan is judicious, and the execution worrhy of all praise. The notes comprise all thai a student needs, and all that he should have; and their position at the foot of the page is just what it should be. From PROF. E. E. WILEY, E71Wry and Henry College, Va. Nov. 30,1848. From the cursory examinatiQn given them, I musr say that I have been highly grati· ~ue~: ~~~\ra~~f~~~ ~:J~b':,~k~IJ,o::e ~i;j~t~f~r~h:e~~b)~~j~;eeJ~~~;'[el~ t';~a;x~~:~~i'!:; by the costly dresses in which I hey have appeared, and by the extensive d••play of notes appended; many ofwh;ch, though learned, are of little worth to the studeut in elucidating the text. It will alford me pleasure to introduce into my deparrment such books of your series as may be in our course. From S. H. TAYLOR, Esq., .Andover, Mass., Oct 30,1848. The notes seem to me very accurate, and are not so numerous as to do for the student what he ought to do for himself. I can with safety, therefore, recommend it to my pupils. From PROF. !VI. M. CAMPBELL, Principal of the Grammar School, Indiana University, Nov. 6, 1848. I like the plan of your series. I feel sure it will succeed, and thus displace some of the learned lumber of our schools. The notes, short, plain, and apposite, are placed where they ought to be, and furnish the learner just about help enough. From PHILIP LINDSLEY, D. D., Pres. of the University of Nashville, Nov. 27, 1848. The classical series. edited by Drs. Schmitz and Zumpt, bas already acquired a high and well-merited reputation on both sides of the Atlantic. I have carefully examined your ednions of Cresar and Virgil. I think th em admirable text-books for schools, and preferable to all others. I shall avail myself of every suitable occasion to recommend them. From B. SANFORD, EsQ., Bridgewater, Mass., Jan.17, 1849. I have examined, with considerable care, borh the Cresar and the Virgil, and am much pleased with the plan and execution of the series thus far. I am particularly gf"t~~e;o~~t~ ~~~fcti~~:i=~YT ~~fnj:dt~~~~~~~ft~a~~~ ~~o~~~e~~~~~r~fis~~~e J~eu"ra~~~~~~ ical works, and, al the same time, the barrenness and deficiency of o1hers; giving a body of annotations better suited to aid the teacher in impartiug a knowledge of the language, than is to be found in any edition heretofore in use. From PROF. STURGESS, Hanover College, Indiana, Dec. 30,1848. The mere name of the editors is a sufficient and most ample guarantee of the accuracy of rhe text, the judicious choice of various readings, and the conformity of those adopted to the lates1invest1gations ofMSS., and the results of the most enlighteued criticism. The notes I have not examined very carefully, except tlwse of the Virgil. They are admirable, extremely condensed, and conveying a great deal of most valuable criricism in the briefest possible way. They are parllcularly valuable for their resthetieal remarks, and the frequent references to parallel passages in the same author. The preliminary life is excellent, and of great value to the student. The Sallust appears robe of the same general character, and the notes to furnish just such help as the diligenr student really needs. I think that in bringing out such a course at a cheap rate you are conferring a great boon on the country, and additional honor 011 your press, alreacly so distinguished for the value of its issues. |
