A COLLECTION OF ENGLISH EXERCISES; translated from the Writings of Cicero, for Schoolboys to re-translate into Latin, and adapted to the principal Rules in the Eton Syntax; to which are added, some Rules for adapting the English Idiom to the Latin.

*** This little Publication is offered to those Teachers who use Ellis's
Exercises; not from a supposition that they can require such aid for the
correction of grammatical errors, but from a conviction that the best
modern Scholars may consult the original with advantage, and that the
Pupil will thus be prepared for more difficult exercises. The Key will be
found useful as a collection of Sentences to be translated into English,
which, without being too difficult, illustrate the rules of Syntax in the
pure language of the first of Roman Authors.

GUY'S SCHOOL GEOGRAPHY, on a new, easy, and highly improved Plan; comprising not only a complete General Description, but much Topographical Information, in a well-digested Order; exhibiting three distinct Parts, and yet forming one connected Whole: expressly adapted to every Age and Capacity, and to every class of Learners, both in Ladies' and Gentlemen's Schools. The Ninth Edition, handsomely printed in crown 12mo. and illustrated with seven Maps, engraved by J. C. Russell, jun. Price 3s. bound.

"We think this work entitled to unqualified approbation. It unites
utility with cheapness. Its method is simple and practicable, and well
adapted to the first wants of the mind. Its ample title-page professes no
more than what is performed in the body of the work. Mr. Guy is already
known as the Author of some other works of a similar nature, and this
will add to his merit in that species of composition."--Universal
Magazine.

"The present epitome of Geography challenges comparison either with any
of the author's former publications, or with those of others upon the
same subject, not even excepting the popular 'Grammar of Geography, by
Goldsmith.' Contrasted with the latter, it contains upwards of one-fourth
more matter, and perhaps, not less than double the real information. In
Guy we find, in addition to the usual Geographical description of
kingdoms, an abstract of their natural curiosities, animals, climate,
soil, inhabitants, religion, manners, customs, language, government,
chronology, and history. In Goldsmith we find almost nothing more than
the names of a few (and only a few) rivers, provinces, and chief towns,
without any thing to excite attention or curiosity, farther than what
appears in the outline map of a country. Goldsmith indeed merely talks
about geography, or the physical and political divisions of the globe;
Guy describes them agreeably, and presents to the reader a complete and
faithful portrait, in miniature, of the habitable world, equally
intelligible and interesting to the youth and the man."--Antijacobin
Review.

Since the first publication of this Geography in 1810, nearly 100,000
copies have been sold, and its superiority over other works of the same
kind is becoming daily more manifest--the last year's sale being double
that of any of the preceding. In this edition many improvements have been
added, the list of accepted Geographical names is greatly enlarged, much
original matter respecting the extensive Empire of TONKIN is annexed, the
book is printed in a superior style on the best paper, and the whole
forms a most perfect and highly interesting School Book.

*** THE MAPS, printed on a stout Royal Drawing Paper, and beautifully
coloured, are done up separately for the use of Teachers, price 2s.

A KEY TO GUY'S GEOGRAPHY, containing Answers to all the Questions and the Problems on the Globes, in this Geography. Price 1s. 6d. sewed.

A CHART OF GENERAL HISTORY, Ancient and Modern. Fourth Edition corrected. On a sheet of Columbier drawing-paper, price 7s. coloured; on canvass and rollers, 10s. 6d.; and varnished 14s.

A Chart of this kind will greatly facilitate the student's progress, and
give him clearer ideas of the rise, duration, and fall of each kingdom
and empire, than the perusal of many volumes. It is, in short, to
History, what Maps are to Geography; and a mode of representation which
gives a kind of locality to events; and conveys not only distinct ideas
of distant events in any one country, but the relative occurrences of
different nations.
