Finally, these Arithmetics teach the shortest, simplest, and most easy to he remembered modes of performing the difl'erent operations of which they treat. I. PRDIARY ARITHMETIC. l8mo. 160 pages. Price 21 cents. —This work presupposes no knowledge of Arithmetic. It commences with Elementary principles, and lays a sure founda- tion for what is to follow. II. ELEMENTARY ARITHMETIC. 16mo. 347 pages. Price 42 cents.—From the Primary the pupil proceeds to the Elementary, in which it is aimed to discipline the mind, to develop the reason- ing powers, and to prepare the pupil for the advanced departments of Mathematics. Iu the author's treatment of Vulgar Fractions, Percentage, and Interest, his new method of finding the cash balance in Equation of Payments, and his improved method of Extracting the Cube Root, he has certainly made a great advance on the other Elementary Arithmetics now before the public. HI. PRACTICAL ARITHMETIC. 12mo. 356 pages. Price, Cloth, 62 cents.—This work covers nearly the same ground as the Elementary, differing from it principally in presenting a greater number of examples. It may, therefore, either follow the Ele- mentary, or be substituted for it. IV. HIGHER ARITHMETIC. 12mo. 324 pages. Cloth. Price 75 cents.—This is intended as a finishing book for those who would complete a thorough arithmetical course. Perkins' Algebraic Series. I. ELEMENTS OF ALGEBRA. 12mo. 244 pages.

But little has been done to this edition save to add Notes on the Lives from Epaminondas (XV.), and onwards. A Lexicon has also been added, which is believed to be accurate. A Historical and Geographi- cal Index completes the additions which have been made. It is proper to state that the editor of the first edition of this work is not responsible for the addi- tions now made. They have been added owing to the pressing desire of teachers to possess the complete work. These additions will be found to be improve- ments, and serve to render the work as nearly perfect as the plan submitted permitted. N«w York, June, 1848 : PREFACE. The English edition of this little work was accom- panied by the following brief announcement " Should the plan and execution of this little volume meet with the approbation of able instructors, it will probably be followed by a similar one on selected por- tions of Xenophon's works. " For the answers to the questions I am principally indebted to the excellent editions of Cornelius Nepos by Bremi, Dahne, and Jaumann. 1 rv. A. " Lyndon, Jan. 31, 1845. In this American edition the alterations will be found to consist principally in a more full and correct citation of illustrative passages, in frequent references to the recent reprint of Zumpt's Latin Grammar, to confirm or silently modify the positions taken, and in the addi- tion of the notes at the foot of the page, which are re- ferred to by letters of the alphabet. Many other changes have been made in the correc- tion of errors, which appear to have been the conse- quence of haste, of which it is hoped this edition will be comparatively free. With these brief statements of what the editor is responsible for, he leaves this little volume to win for itself, both with teachers and pupils, the favor which it deserves. E. A. J. N. Y.

ARGUMENTUM. Auctor scriptures genus, quo usus est, et rerum, quas per- secutes est, levitatem excusat morum Grczcorum et Ro- manorum diversitate. I. Non dubito, fore plerosque, Attice, qui hoc genus J scripturse leve et non satis dignum summorum virorum personis judicent, quum relatum legent, quis musician docuerit Epaminondam ; aut in ejus virtutibus comme- morari, saltasse eum commode scienterque tibiis can- tasse. Sed hi enmt fere, qui, expertes litterarum 2 Graecarum, nihil rectum, nisi quod ipsorum moribus conveniat, putabunt. Hi si didicerint, non eadem omni- 3 bus esse honesta atque turpia, sed omnia majorum insti- tutis judicari, non admirabuntur, nos in Graiorum virtu- tibus exponendis mores eorum secutos. Neque enim 4 Cimoni fuit turpe, Atheniensium summo viro, sororem gennanam habere in matrimonio : quippe quum cives ejus eodem uterentur institute At id quidem nostris moribus nefas habetur. Magnis in laudibus tota fere fuit 5 Graecia, victorem Olympiae citari ; in scenam vero pro- dire et populo esse spectaculo, nemini in eisdem genti- bus fuit turpitudini. Quae omnia apud nos partira 8 prjEfatio. infamia, partim humilia atque ab honestate remota 6 ponuntur. Contra ea pleraque nostris moribus sunt decora, quae apud illos turpia putantur. Quem enira Romanorum pudet uxorem ducere in convivium'? aut cujus non materfamilias primum locum tenet aedium 7 atque in celebritate versatur 1 Quod multo fit aliter in Graecia. Nam neque in convivium adhibetur, nisi pro- pinquonun ; neque sedet, nisi in interiore parte aedium, quae yvvuixuvmg appellatur, quo nemo accedit, nisi pro- 8 pinqua cognatione conjunctus. Sed hie plura persequi, turn magnitudo voluminis prohibet, tiun festinatio, ut ea explicem, quae exorsus sum. Quare ad propositum veniemus et in hoc exponemus libro de vita excellentium Imperatorum.

Milt ades, Cimonis filius, Atheniensis, quum et 1 antiquitate generis, et gloria majorum, et sua modestia unus omn'um maxime floreret, eaque esset aetate, ut jam non solum de eo bene sperare, sed etiam confidere cives possent sui, talem futurum, qualem cogni- 515 a - c - n - turn judicarunt : accidit, ut Athenienses Cherso- nesum colonos vellent mittere. Cujus generis quum 2 magnus numerus esset, et multi ejus demigrationis peterent societatem: ex his delecti Delphos deliberatum missi sunt, qui consulerent Apollinem, quo potissimum duce uterentur. Nam [que] turn Thraces eas regiones tenebant, cum quibus armis erat dimicandum. His con- 3 sulentibus nominatim Pythia praecepit, ut Miltiadem sibi imperatorem sumerent : id si fecissent, incepta prospera 10 I. 2, 3. (Miltiades.) 1 futura. Hoc oraculi response» Miltiades cum delecta raanu classe Chersonesum profectus quum accessisset Lemnum, et incolas ejus insulse sub potestatem redigere vellet Atheniensium, idque Lemnii sua sponte facerent, 5 postulasset : illi irridentes responderunt, turn id se fac- turos, quum ille, domo navibus proficiscens vento aqui- lone, venisset Lemnum. Hie enim ventus, ab septen- trionibus oriens, adversum tenet Atbenis proficiscenti- 6 bus. Miltiades, morandi tempus non habens, cursum direxit, quo tendebat, pervenitque Chersonesum. 1 II. Ibi brevi tempore barbarorum copiis disjectis, tota regione, quam petierat, potitus, loca castellis idonea com- munivit, multitudinem, quam secum duxerat, in agris 2 collocavit, crebrisque excursionibus locupletavit. Neque minus in ea re prudentia, quam felicitate, adjutus est. Nam quum virtute militum hostium devicisset exercitus^ suimna aequitate res constituit, atque ipse ibidem manere 3 decrevit. Erat enim inter eos dignitate regia, quamvis carebat nomine ; neque id magis imperio, quam justitia, consecutus. Neque eo secius Atbeniensibus, a quibus erat profectus, officia praestabat. Quibus rebus fiebat, ut non minus eorum voluntate perpetuo imperium obti- neret, qui miserant, quam illorum, cum quibus erat pro- 4 fectus. Chersoneso tali modo constitute, Lemnum rever- titur, et ex pacto postulat, ut sibi urbem tradant. Illi enim dixerant, quum, vento borea domo profectus, eo pervenisset, sese dedituros ; se autem domum Cbersonesi 5 habere. Cares, qui turn Lemnum incolebant, etsi prae- ter opinionem res ceciderat, tamen, non dicto, sed secunda fortuna adversariorum capti, resistere ausi non sunt atque ex insula demigrarunt. Pari felicitate ceteras insulas, quae Cyclades nominantur, sub Atheniensium redegit potestatem.
