The names of the Boys who have not hitherto attended any of the Classes of the Academy, must be entered with the Secretary, No. 4, Charlotte Square, before the 1st October, that the applications of new entrants may be decided on, without the risk of any Boys being admitted beyond the number limited for each Class.

Some of the Masters receive Boarders into their Houses, taking the entire charge of their time, and assisting them in the preparation of their studies, as at Westminster and Eton, and there are several highly respectable Boarding Houses in the neighbourhood, of which a Register is kept at the Janitor's Lodge at the Academy. Information on this subject may be obtained by application (if by letter, post-paid) to Mr MILNE, Clerk to the Directors, at the Academy. JOHN RUSSELL, Secretary.

By the Rev. J. BRASS, D.D.

Late Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge.

"The indefatigable application required in the compilation of the Greek Gradus is manifest; and we heartily recommend the work, as supplying a desideratum in our school books, and likely to be advantageously used to a very wide extent."-Literary Chronicle.

"This publication is well fitted to carry students still farther into the recondite parts of that majestic language. We gladly lend our assistance in so rational an attempt, and observe with pleasure that, in conformity with the improved spirit of the age, Mr Valpy's list of new school-books contains several others on the same plan."-LORdon Mag. Nov. 1828.

But when they have made real advances in Greek prose, read over with them the whole of Vigerus. Mr Berry, what I now recommend, is really one of the most useful parts of education. You should make them read Vigerus in this way twice every year, for five, six, or seven years."-Dr Parr. See Johnstone's Life of Parr, vol. 8.

2. HOOGEVEEN on the GREEK PARTICLES. 7s. 6d. bds.

"Hoogeveen's works on Particles has always been considered a valuable aid in the study of the Greek Language; and Mr Seager has compressed and translated it in a manner which we could not desire to be better."-Spectator.

To which is prefixed, a short Treatise on the Doctrines of the Greek Article, according to Bishop MIDDLETON, Mr GRANVILLE SHARPE, &c., briefly and compendiously explained, as applicable to the criticism of the New Testament. The various Readings are recorded under the Text. Greek and English Indices are added. Two plates are added, one illustrative of the Travels of the Apostles," and the other a "Map of Judea, and a Plan of the City and Temple of Jerusalem."

By the Rev. E. VALPY, B.D.

This work is intended for the use of Students in Divinity, as well as for the Library.

"After a minute examination, the author of the present manual considers this edition of the Greek Testament as the most valuable of any that has yet been published, with critical and philological apparatus; especially for students who wish to purchase only oNE edi. tion of the Greek Testament."-Horne's Introduction to the Bible.

This Edition is hot-pressed, and printed in a cheap form for the use of Schools, one volume, 8vo: for use also in Churches and Chapels, as well as the Library.

This elegantly-executed volume is very correctly printed, and (which cannot but recommend it to students, in preference to the incorrect Cambridge and Amsterdam reprints of the Vatican text) its price is so reasonable, as to place it within the reach of almost every one."-Horne's Introduction to the Bible.

Mr VALPY has printed this second edition in an economical form, to suit the use of the upper classes of Schools, into whose hands many Tutors are desirous of placing it.

** The SEPTUAGINT and TESTAMENT may be had uniformly bound, in four handsome volumes.

THE YOUNG LADY'S BOOK possesses the hi

therto unattempted novelty of concentrating, in one volume, all that is interesting, either as an exercise, a recreation, or a pursuit, and forms a complete repertorium of all those accomplishments which grace the sex, and constitute the perfection of the female character. The Work is particularly distinguished for the care which has been taken as to the correctness of its information; and as no one mind could have been equal to the task of achieving such a variety of subjects, recourse has been had to the most distinguished proficients in each department. In its decorative qualities it courts comparison with the most elegant of the Annuals; embracing many striking novelties, and comprising upwards of 700 Engravings.

The YOUNG LADY'S BOOK claims to be regarded as a perennialNOT an annual publication; as a work of permanent interest and utility-NOT the ephemeral trifle of a season; and to be in all respects worthy of a constant place in the boudoir of an English Lady. THE BOY'S OWN BOOK

Is acknowledged to be the most acceptable present for Young Folks
ever devised, and has now reached the sixth edition. It is a com-
bination of all that usually delights and interests youth; embraces
all their Sports and Amusements, in and out of doors, and at all
seasons, and combines valuable instruction, with rational recreation.
It comprises nearly 500 closely-printed pages-is embellished with
upwards of 300 engravings, and is very elegantly printed.
