It is written in that fresh and ardent spirit, which to the con- -§ genial mind of youth, will convey instruction in the p inost effective manner, by awakening the desire of it; § aud by enlisting the lively and buoyant feelings in the _ ff cause of useful and improving study; while, by its preg- _§ Hant brevity, it is more likely to stimulate than to super- sede more profound and extensive research. If then, as it j is avowedly intended for the use of the younger readers ff of Homer, and, as it is impossible net to discover, with a ‘more particular view to the great school to which the au- ; thor owes his education, we shall be much mistaken if it j does not become as popular as it will be usefal in that h celebrated establishment.’—-Quarierly Review. “We sincerely hope that Mr. Coleridge will favor us with a continuation of his work, which he promises.”— f Gent.

In 8vo- | Extract of a Letter from Professor Stuart of Andover, j “Ihave used Butler’s Atlas Classica for 12 or 14 years, } and prefer it on the score of convenience and correctness f tO any atlas within the compass of my knowledge. © It fis evidently a work of much care and taste, and most f happily adapted to classical readers and indeed all others, who consult the history of past ages.. I have long cherish- # ed a strong desire to see the work brought forward in this country, and I am eaceedingly gratified that you have q carried through this undertaking. ‘The beautiful manner itv which the specimen is executed that you have sent me j does great credit to engravers and publishers. It-cannot be that our schools and colleges will fail to adopt this 7 Work, and bring it into very general circulation. I know of vone which in all respects would supply its place.” _ “The abridged but classical and excellent work of But- ler, on Ancient Geography, which you are printing as an H accompaniment to the maps, I consider one of the most attractive works of the kind, especially for young persons qj Studying the classics, that has come under my notice. I wish you the most ample success in these highly useful publications.” © “In this, the able author has brought up his treatise to the date of the Jatest improvements in this nationally important plan. We consider the volume to be one of. great general interest.”—Lit. Guz. “We must, injustice, refer the reader to the work itself, strongly assuring him that, whether he be a man of science, or one totally unacquainted with its technical difficulties, he will here receive instruction and pleasure, in a degree which we have seldom seen united before.”— Monthly Rev.
