CHEAP SCHOOL BOOKS.

It is proposed to publish a series of very cheap School Books, books containing from fifty to one hundred pages, in strong cloth binding, which will be sold at prices varying from Sixpence to One Shilling.

School Books are seldom preserved for any length of time. They are exposed to many accidents, and, if they survive these in a presentable form, they often become obsolete before they reach the hands of another generation. At the same time they often contain much more than, as a matter of fact, can be made use of. Small books, sold at a low price, which would serve for a term, or a half-year, and would be read from beginning to end, would, it is thought, be found by parents to effect an economy in what is often a heavy expense. Schoolmasters, too, would be thus enabled to give a variety to the studies of their pupils, which is now frequently prohibited by considerations of

cost.

The following books of the series are just ready :

1. OVID. Select passages; with Notes and Introductions by the Rev. A. J. CHURCH, M.A., Head Master of the Grammar School, Henley-on-Thames. 16mo, cloth, 6d.

2. HORACE. Select Odes; with Notes and Introductions by the Rev. W. J. BRODRIBB, M.A., Rector of Wootton Rivers, and late Fellow of St. John's College, Cambridge. 16mo, cloth, 8d.

3. CÆSAR. Selections from the Commentaries, including the British Expeditions. With Notes by the Rev. F. B. Butler, Assistant Master in Haileybury College. 16mo, cloth, 6d.
