A CM IL L A N'S NEW BOOKS THE WORKS OF PINDAR

Translated, with Literary and Critical Commentaries, by L. R. FARNELL, D.LITT., Honorary Fellow and formerly Rector of Oxford. 3 Volumes. 8vo. THE COMMENTARY. THE GREEK TEXT. 2 Vols. 3os. net.

Already Published. TRANSLATION IN RHYTHMICAL PROSE, WITH LITERARY COMMENTS. I18. net. ' British scholarship has waited long for a complete and authoritative edition of Pindar. Dr.

Farnell's translation has already appeared and he now concludes his scholarly and thoughtful edition with the Greek text and notes. . . . His admirable work leaves no excuse for the English student of Greek to shrink from contact with one of the greatest lyric poets of all time . . . Dr. Farnell is the safest of guides. Common-sense and true poetic appreciation are intertwined into an Ariadne's thread which shows the true way through almost all the twists and turns of the labyrinth. A sense of humour often illuminates a passage held obscure. . . . Altogether an admirable edition, worthy of the highest tradition of English scholarship.'-The Saturday Review.

HESIOD: WORKS AND DAYS Text and Commentary edited by T. A. SINCLAIR, M.A., Reader in Classics in the University of London, formerly Fellow of St. John's College, Cambridge. 8vo. ios. 6d. net.

This addition to Macmillan's Classical Library is intended mainly for the Classical student. It is the fruit of many years' work on a subject in which the author is now an acknowledged authority among European scholars.

MACMILLAN & CO. LTD. ST. MARTIN'S STREET LONDON

DEIGMA A FIRST GREEK BOOK. By Professors Walters and Conway, with the

cooperation of Miss Constance I. Daniel, M.A. 4s. 6d. SECOND AND REVISED EDITION. With a Summary of Accidence by R. B. Lattimer,

M.A., which has been included to enable students of average ability to dispense with the use of a separate grammar. The chief objects of the authors are to bring the pupil as soon as possible to the stage of reading Greek authors ; and therefore to present the most important uses in Syntax side by side with the most important part of Accidence : and to use the chief results of recent inquiry in Historical Grammar, so as to simplify and enliven the harder forms of Accidence and rules of Syntax by indicating briefly how they grew up.

NOW READY-PART III. OF

A SCHOOL LATIN COURSE By G. A. MORRISON, M.A., LL.D.

HEADMASTER OF ROBERT GORDON'S COLLEGE, ABERDEEN

Part III. completes Dr. Morrison's Latin Course, which has received a cordial welcome and is already in use in a large number of schools. A good average class would cover the greater part of the Course in three or four years (according to the time allotted), but Part III. has been extended to serve as a Composition Book for a

year beyond that stage.

'To deep scholarship the author has added the fruits of a long and successful experience as a teacher, and the result is a book that ought to satisfy teachers of Latin, more particularly in Scotland. . . . Progress is not too rapid. . . . It is marked by carefulness of preparation, real appreciation of a pupil's needs and capabilities, and exact learning.'--Scottish Educational Journal.

Part I. 2s. 6d. Part II. 3s. Part III. 3s.
