A System of Latin Versification, in a series of progressive exercises, including specimens of translation from English and German poetry into Latin verse. For the use of schools and colleges. By Charles Anthon, L.L.D., professor of the Greek and Latin languages in Columbia College, N. Y. New York Harper and Brothers.

This excellent work is intended as a sequel to the Treatise on Latin Prosody, published a few years ago. It is a very full and useful manual — useful, that is to say, if we can regard the making of Latin verses as in any respect, or under any circumstances, as a useful occupation. The materials have been collected from a great variety of sources. [column 2:] As a text book the volume cannot be too highly commended. The exercises form a regular and progressive course. A key has been prepared, and can be obtained from the publishers on personal application. The work is got up in the usual admirable manner of Professor Anthon's Classical Series.
