NEW PUBLICATIONS.The Little Book of the Martyrs of the City of Rome.By theRev.Henry Formby. London: Burns & Oates. New York: The Catholic Publication Society. 1877.We can do no more now than call the attention of our readers to this exceedingly beautiful little work, advance sheets of which lie before us. It is full of admirable illustrations of scenes in the lives of the early martyrs, and nothing could be better adapted as a Christmas present for Catholic children.The Normal Higher Arithmetic.Designed for advanced classes in common schools, normal schools, high schools, academies, etc. By Edward Brooks, A.M. Published by Sower, Potts &Co., Philadelphia.This excellent text book contains more than the average number of practical examples. This fact, considered in connection with the intelligent and exhaustive treatment of commercial arithmetic, commends the book to teachers in need of a manual for drill purposes. Besides, most of the material is new, and the author brings to his task a greater command of language than seems to have been possessed by the older authors, thus ensuring clearness and variety of statement. The treatment of exchange shows the peculiar merits of the volume to advantage.A large portion of the first half of the volume is devoted to a scientific treatment of arithmetic. In many respects this is waste labor. No use can be made of it in the class-room. Who, for example, stops to consider the properties of the number eleven? Less science and more practice would mend the first two hundred and fifty pages. This done, and the answers carefully corrected, the book will rank first of its class.Excerpta ex Rituali Romano, pro Administratione Sacramentorum, ad Commodiorem Usum Mlssionariorum.Baltimori: apud Kelly, Piet et Socios, 1876.This new edition of the ritual is an improvement upon previous ones in the beauty and clearness of the print. In other respects no changes have been made, except in the paging.We notice a misprint, “Suspice” for “Suscipe,” onp.159. There may be others, but hardly can be any of importance.
