    VALPY'S GRADUS AD PARNASSUM, With a Translation of the Words given, and their Formation. Royal 12mo. New Edition, greatly enlarged. Price 7s. 6d. bound. This Gradus was composed by the learned Editor for those Teachers who considered that the old Gradus was defective in not giving a simple translation of the words, and redun- dant, in the number of synonyms and epithets, and also in j giving the phrases and verses. The principal aim was to give a greater freedom to the fancy of the versifier, by not pre-occupying his mind with the phrases and forms of pre- vious editions. It may therefore be justly said, that it will be found better adapted to those more perfected scholars, who wish to compose originally in Latin verse, while Pyper's Gradus will aid the younger student in gaining a greater number of words, and their various shades of meaning, and j thus enable him to relish the poetry of the classics. The New Edition has been enriched with upwards of j 3000 additional words from Ovid, Virgil, &c, and has under- gone a most complete revision. PYPER'S GRADUS. Gradus ad Parnassum, sive Novus Synonymorum, Epi- thet )rum, Versuum, ac Phrasium Poeticarum Thesaurus. Editio Nova, curante Gulielmo Pyper, A.M. in Schola Regia Edinensi Magistro. 12mo. Price 7s. cloth lettered. This work is the original Gradus, corrected by various professors of the Edinburgh University, and more recently by Professor Pyper. Various forms of the original work have been adopted by teachers; some thinking that the original was too crowded for the student. This form of the old work, however, full as it is, continues to be used in numerous first-rate classical schools. It comprises a large collection of words, and abundant examples of synonyms, epithets, phrases, and verses ; and it must be acknowledged is, from its fulness, calculated to give great freedom and readiness of expression to the diligent and active scholar.
