ARNOLD'S CLASSICAL SERIES

OPINIONS OF SCHOLARS.

Princeton, December 3, 1846.

Gentlemen, — In reply to your letter, I hâve to say that I can, from the most satisfactory expérience, bear test'mony to the excellence of your séries of Text Book» for Schools. I am il the dailv ase of Arnold's Latin and Greek Exercises, and eonsider them decidedly supenor to anj •ther Êïementary Works in those Languages. LYMAN COLEMAN, D., D.,

Prof, of the German, Greek, and Latin Languages.

Dear Sir, — I am much pleased with Arnold'' s Latin Books. A class of mr older boyi hâve just finished the first and second books. They had studied Latin for a long time before but never understood it, they say, as they do now. CHAS. M. BLAKE,

Classical Teacher in Brown's Prince-street Academy, Philadelphia.

Arnold's Lessons in Latin I find unsurpassed ; and, if the Greek Lessons by the sama autlior shall prove as useful, they will form the commencement of a new era in the study of the t-lassics in this country. I wish you abundant success in so noble an enterprise as furnishing oui schools and scholars with such valuable books. SET H DAVIS,

Rector of Zion's Church, Rome.

Arnold's Latin and Greek Composition. In the skill with which he sets forth the idiomatic peculiarities, as well as in the directness and simplicity with which he states the facts of the Ancient Languages, Mr. Arnold has no superior. I know of no books so adrnirably adapted to awaken an intercst in the study of language, or so well fitted to lay the ioundation of a correct scholarship and reâned taste. N. WHEELER,

Principal Worcester County High Sc/iool.

Messrs. Appleton : Penn. Collège, Gettysbtjrg, Oct. 29, 1846.

Dear Sirs, — The friends of éducation are nnder great obligations to you for the valuat .fa service you bave rendered by the récent publication of Arnold's Cornélius Nepos. I hâve examined the édition with much interest, and it gives me pleasure to say that I highly approve of it. A text book prepared by a man so distinguished for scholarship, expérience, and success in teaching, as Dr. Arnold, cannot fail to secure universal favor. The mechanical exécution, and the gieat accuracy which prevails throughout, are highly creditable to the American editor and the publisher.

I hâve determined to introduce the édition at once into the Academical Department of Pennsylvania Collège, and hâve accordingly directed our book merchants to procure cop>es.

Respectfully, yours,

M. L. STOERER, A. M.,

Prof, of History in Pennsylvania Collège, and Principal of the Academical Department.

Messrs. Appleton & Co. : Oakland Hioh School, April 28, 1846.

Gentlemen, — I acknowledge with many thanks the receipt of T. K. Arnold's First and Second Latin Book, and his Introduction to Latin Prose Composition. The style in which the books are got up is not their only recommendation. With thorough instruction, on the j>art of the teacher using thèse books as text-books, I am confident a much more ample return for the time and labor bestowed by our youth upon Latin must be secured. The time certain ly has tome vvhen an advance must be made upon the old methods of instruction. I am glad to hâve a work that promises so many advantages as Arnold's First and Second Latin Book to begiu [ hâve little doubt of the resuit of the ex périment. Very respectfullv,
