'The writer has been induced to publish this" Brief Digest" by the fact that there is not, so far as he is aware, any separate rudimentary manual on the Roman Law of Contracts suitable for the student who Special Statutes. would pursue his investigations beyond the limits of the Institutes of Justinian. His aim has been to present in a small compass. the principal features of Roman Contract Law, without entering into minute details, which would be out of place in an elementary work of this kind."

PALESTRA OXONIENSIS, The object of this Series is to furnish Exercises and Test Papers to Candidates preparing for various Examinations at our Public Schools and Universities. In preparing the Volumes special regard has been had to the requirements of Public Schools examined under the Oxford and Cambridge Schools Examination Board. The Questions are mostly selected from Papers which have been set in Examination. Crown 8vo. cloth, price 3s. 6d. each Volume. Classical. Part I.

THE GUARDIAN. 'Next to this ("The Student's Handbook to the University of Oxford") we may fitly place two volumes; being the first instalments of a series calling itself Palestra Oxoniensis, and which are to be followed by Questions adapted to the higher examinations. Most of them are selected from papers that have been actually set, and they may therefore be taken as good practical guides by Students and Schoolmasters.' (For Specimen see page 24.) Part II. QUESTIONS AND EXERCISES FOR CLASSICAL SCHOLARSHIPS. CONTENTS: (1) Critical Grammar Questions in Greek and Latin. (2) Unseen Passages for Translation. Adapted to the Oxford and Cambridge School Certificate and First Public Examinations. FROM THE PREFACE. "This volume is compiled on the same plan as Part I., but designed for more advanced students. The easier questions in higher grammar are intended for the use of competitors in the Schools Examinations and for candidates for Classical Scholarships. The more difficult questions in the same subject, and the questions in comparative philology, are intended for the latter and for candidates for Honour Moderations. It is hoped and believed that they will also be found of use in reading for Classical Honours at Cambridge. 'Attention is invited to the "Unseen Passages for Translation in Greek and Latin Prose and Verse," which may go some way to supply a want that has been felt in many of our public schools. The selection has been made with care from the less read classical authors, and in most instances the easier pieces come first, although it was found impossible to arrange them precisely in the order of difficulty.'

QUESTIONS AND EXERCISES FOR CLASSICAL SCHOLARSHIPS. CONTENTS (1) Historical and General Questions. (2) Subjects for English Essays. Edited and Arranged by THOMAS CLAYTON, M.A., Trinity College, Oxford. [Now ready. subjects where ignorance is as disgraceful as it is deplorable. This book, like its immediate predecessor, is intended for the use of schools as well as private students. The papers and essays, with very few exceptions, have been set in examinations for scholarships at Oxford during the last decade, 1869-1879. A student will readily gather from them a correct idea of the sort of information which is required from him in those examinations. In schools where written answers, and maps from memory-an excellent deviceare sent up weekly; the use of this book as a time-saver for tutors and pupils will be obvious. It may also be most profitably used in oral teaching. A competent teacher of history and geography may do much with one weekly lesson only to make his class respectably efficient in With respect to the essays, the student will do well to supply references to the other subjects similar to those which are appended here to the first few. It is for this purpose that so much space has been left in this part of the volume, and also because it has been found from experience, that a list of essay subjects printed closelytogether is by no means so useful as it might theoretically appear to be. It is anticipated that such a collection of questions and subjects may prove serviceable in those of our schools where: the excellent custom prevails of arguing. the pros and cons of various questions in the debating-room.

'The Second Edition has been extended so as to meet the requirements of the First Public Examination and of the Oxford and Cambridge Local and Certificate Examinations. With this view new matter has been introduced, and in order to avoid increasing the bulk of the volume, some of the easier questions and earlier examination papers have been omitted. The whole has been carefully revised and the answers verified. In its present form the work will be found useful in preparation for any examination which includes the subjects of arithmetic, algebra to quadratic equations with proportion and Euclid Books I.-IV.

"This Synopsis of the Four Books of Livy (xxi.-xxiv.) is intended to be an assistant to the student in his work, and not a substitute for it; and on this account it has been thought advisable rather to point out those passages which require more careful attention on the part of the student, than to translate them for him.'

'Two main objects have been kept in view throughout: first, to condense into as readable a form as possible the mass of detail contained in the first six books of the "Annals"; secondly, by dint of copious quotations from the text, to render the reader familiar with the standpoint and the more important comments of the historian.'
