"Arnold's Greek and Latin Séries. — The publication of this valuable collection of cla9sical school books may be regarded as the présage of better things in respect to the mode of teaching and acquiring languages. Heretofore boys bave been condemned tothe drudgery of going over Latin and Greek Grammar without the remotest conception of ihe value of what they were leaming, and every day becoming more and more disgusted wiih the dry and unmeaning task ; but now, by Mr. Arnold's admirable method — substantialiy the same with thatof OlIendorfT— the moment they take up the study of Latin or Greek, they begin to learn sentences, to acquire ideas, to see how the Romans and Greeksexpressed themselves, how their mode of ex pression diflèred from ours, and by degrees tliey lay up a stock of knowledge which is utterly astonishing to those who hâve dragged on mont h afier month in the old-fashioned, dry, and tedious way of leaming languages.

" Mr. Arnold, in i'aot, has had the good sensé to adopt the System of nature. A child learns bis own language by cmitciting what he hears, and constantly repeating it till it is fastened in the memory ; in the same way Mr. A. puts the pupil immediately to work at Exercises in Latin and Greek, invdving the elementary principles of the language — words are supplied — the mode of putting them fr-gether is told the pupil — he is shown how the ancients expressed their ideas; and then, by repeating thèse things again and again — iterum iterumque — the docile pupil has theas indelibly impressed upon his memory and rooted in his understanding.

"The American Editor is a thorough classical scholar, and has been a practical teacher for years m this city. Ks has devoted the utmost care to a complète revision of Mr. Arnold's works, has corrected several errors of inadvertence or otherwhe, has rearranged and improved various matters in the early volumes of the séries, and has attended most diligently to the accurate printing and mechanical exécution of the whole. We anticipate most cunfidently the speedy adoption of the.-e v/.,rks in our schuols aad collèges."— Cour. <§- Enq.
