A GRAMMAR OF THE GREEK LANGUAGE, principally from the German of Kuhner, with selections from Matthiae, Buttmann, Thiersch and Rost. For the use of schools and colleges. By Charles Anthcn, LL. D. New York: Harper and Brothers.

This is an enlargement of Dr. Anthon's previous grammar, and is chiefly a translation and abridgement from the various grammars of Kuhner — presenting a compend of all that is essential for the student.

The work has the novel feature of frequent reference to ‘the Sanscrit and other cognate languages — without which reference no Greek grammar can be considered complete. This is decidedly, for American students, the best book of its class extant. It is published in the peculiarly neat and durable form which distinguishes all the classical works of its author.
