'The editor has adopted as the basis of his book the popular and well-reputed Grammaire Latins Elémentaire produced under the conjoint editorship of Michel Bréal and of Léonce Person, and has adopted the materials of that accredited class-book for use in English Schools. This he has done, not by merely translating the Grammaire Latine, or by mainly adopting its contents as they stood in its pages, but by accepting its arrangement and f oUowing its plan. . . . The rare simplicity of style and perspicuity of exposition, for which the French hâve such an unquestioned réputation, Mr. Belcher has imitated, and has thereby imparted cleamess and neatness to the instructions found in every Latin Grammar. The letterpress used for the essentials of grammar is bold and plain, while that employed for subordinate and exceptional matter is smaller, but very distinct, and the typographical expédients for gaining attention to the more important détails are carefully planned and consistently carried out. The new Grammar consists of two parts, (1) the Accidence, with an appendix and an index of nearly 400 références; (2) Syntax — ^the doctrine of the sentence, in 337 paragraphs, to the matter contained in which there are 800 références in the index. . . . The new Grammar is full in the exposition of the etymology and accidence; but it is in the syntax that the freshness of form and the excellence of plan are most apparent. . . . We commenditheartily.* — UdtccationalJVefm
