Practical experience proves that numerous examples and quotations, though valuable and necessary for older or more advanced pupils, bewilder rather than help the youthful beginner. For this reason in many schools Dictionaries have been altogether discarded in the Lower Forms, and the pupils use editions supplied with a special Vocabulary. I should have wished not only to cut down the examples, but to still further simplify the book by omitting all save the most elementary derivations; but to do this, I am told, would impair its value in the eyes of many teachers. I have therefore inserted the usually received etymologies, except where they are too doubtful or obscure to be of any value. The number of authors read in "Easy Selections" has increased so much in recent years, that it has been a difficult matter to decide what words to omit and what to include. I believe that the choice I have made will prove sufficient for the needs of those for whom the book is specially intended; indeed I think that I have erred rather in the direction of excess than of defect. I am not without hope that the Dictionary may be found useful in some cases for older boys, those on the modern side for instance, or those who are getting up a modicum of Latin for examination purposes. The reduction in the quantity of matter has made it possible to print this book in exceptionally large and clear type, on good paper, and to issue it at a low price. An elementary school book is not a joy for ever to its possessor, and I trust that the cheapness of this little work will enable many a boy to consign his copy with a light heart to the flames, before it has reached a wizened and unsightly old age. In preparing the book I have made free use of the labours of my predecessors. I refrain from enumerating them, not from any desire to conceal the extent of my obligation, but lest the length of the list should seem out of proportion to the modest and unpretentious character of the resulting work. For any notes of errors or omissions, which should be addressed to me direct or to the publishers, I shall be grateful. PREPARATORY SCHOOLS REVIEW.-"A capital book for use in Preparatory Schools. The book is quite the cheapest Latin Dictionary which can claim to be at all satisfactory; and it is very doubtful whether anything will be lost by the omission of more copious instances, which, useful as they are to an older hand, are mostly wasted on, and even bewilder, the Preparatory School boy." SCHOOLMASTER-"The book should prove very handy to beginners, to whom the ordinary large dictionaries are an incumbrance and a source of perplexity, and seems to meet a real want in a highly satisfactory manner." SCHOOL GUARDIAN.-"This is certainly the best elementary' Latin and English Dictionary we have seen, and is admirably suited for use in preparatory schools and the senior forms of our Public Schools. Mr. Nall evidently understands what boys want who are 'getting up a modicum of Latin for examination purposes.' EDUCATIONAL TIMES.-"A wonderfully cheap and well-executed book, and should find wide acceptance in schools." SCHOOL BOARD CHRONICLE.-"The work has been done with great care and sympathy with elementary difficulties. And its inexpensiveness is an important element of its many practical merits." SPEAKER. "The matter is compressed with no little skill, while the phrases included show good judgment; so that, although the print is in exceptionally large and clear type, it is confined within the limits of 430 pages. . . . As far as one can judge without some months of constant usage, this Dictionary will amply reward the curiosity of young students, and help to inform them with sound scholarship from the beginning." out money. 2.
