Vabsar Female Collège, Poughkeepsie, N.Y., April 19, 1866 Mr. Urbino.

Dear Sir, — I ara now using nmny of your publications in tliis collège, of which I ara partieularly pleased with the German and Italian Grannnars, and with Bôcher's Collège Séries of French plays. Otto's German Grammar, I regard as a tnodel of scholarly thoroughness and practical utility ; and the other works of your list, as far as I hâve examined them, reconiniend themselves, not only by the beauty of their inechanical exécution, but also by the intrinsic merit of their rédaction.

Very truly yours,

W. I. KNAPP, Prof essor of Àncient and Modem Languages and Literature.

State University of Michigan, April 20, 1866.

I hâve adopted Otto's German Conversation Grammar as a textbook in this University, and hâve no hésitation in recommending it as by far the best grammar of the German language published in this country. No other work with which I am acquainted présents such a happy combination of what are called the Analytic and Synthetic methods of instruction. The statement of principes is clear and philosophical ; and the examples which illustrate the niceties of their application are ail that could be desired. The French Grammar, by the ?arae author, is similar in plan, and possesses equal excellences.

I hâve examined the standard educational works for the study of ibreign languages, published by S. R. Urbino, and take pleasure in recommending them to ail students of the languages and literatures of Europe. They are weli selected, amply elucidated by English notes, and, in convenience of for m and excellence ol t> pography, are ail that could be desired.
