GEORGE CURTIUS, PROFESSOR IN THE UNIVERSITY OF LEIPZIG; AND DR. WM. SMITH, EDITOR OF THE CLASSICAL AND LATIN DICTIONARIES, 1. THE STUDENT'S GREEK GRAMMAR. FOR THE USE OF COLLEGES AND THE UPPER FORMS IN SCHOOLS. BY PROFESSOR CURTIUS. Post 8vo. 78. 6d. 2. THE STUDENT'S LATIN GRAMMAR. FOR THE USE OF COLLEGES AND THE UPPER FORMS IN SCHOOLS. These works are intended to supply a long acknowledged want in our School and College Literature, namely, GREEK and LATIN GRAMMARS, in volumes of moderate size, incorporating the results of the most recent researches of modern scholars, and adapted to the higher Forms in Schools, and for students of the Universities. They occupy an intermediate place between the larger grammars of Matthiae and Kühner, Madvig and Zumpt, and the elementary treatises which continue to be used in most of our public and private schools. They contain a fuller and more correct explanation of a variety of subjects scarcely touched upon in the ordinary Grammars; and the object of the Authors has been to make these Grammars, as far as possible, true representatives of the present advanced state of Scholarship in England and Germany.

SINGLE HEXAMETERS. 1 ASPICIUNT Oculis superi mortalia justis. 3 Nescia mens hominum fati sortisque futurae. 4 Orandum est, ut sit mens sana in corpore sano. 5 Sincerum est nisi vas, quodcumque infundis, acescit. 6 Divitiisne homines, an sunt virtute beati? 7 Vilius argentum est auro, virtutibus aurum. 8 Ipsa quidem virtus sibimet pulcherrima merces. 9 Conscia mens recti famae mendacia ridet. 10 Conscius ipse sibi de se putat omnia dici. 11 Omnia deficiant, animus tamen omnia vincit. 12 Semper honos nomenque tuum laudesque manebunt. 13 Intendas animum studiis et rebus honestis. P. L. III. B 21 Dum licet, in rebus jucundis vive beatus. 26 Quod licet, ingratum est; quod non licet, acrius urit. 36 Oderunt peccare boni virtutis amore. 37 Multi nil rectum, nisi quod placuit sibi, ducunt. 49 Omne tulit punctum, qui miscuit utile dulci. 50 Quod satis est, cui contingit, nihil amplius optet. 31 Divitiae grandes homini sunt vivere parce. 52 Discite, quam liceat parvo perducere vitam. 53 Coena brevis juvat et prope rivum somnus in herba 54 Latrantem stomachum bene lenit cum sale panis. 55 Non opibus mentes hominum curaeque levantur. 56 Cantabit vacuus coram latrone viator. 57 Naturam certe mutare pecunia nescit. 58 Naturam expellas furca, tamen usque recurret. 59 Caelum, non animum mutant, qui trans mare currunt. 60 Est aliquid patriis vicinum finibus esse. 61 Tempus in agrorum cultu consumere dulce est. |
