Have read it through, not only with great interest, but possibly, late as it is, with some profit. Had I fallen in with this book forty years ago, it would have saved me FROM MANY SERIOUS MISTAKES AND THE LOSS OF MUCH TIME. * * You have written an admirable book. It cannot fail to do good. It ought to be in the hands of all young men, and especially of all young scholars.

It is one of the best books of the class that I have ever seen. It fills me with a sort of wonder by its wealth of incident and appropriate anecdote. * * The book is eminently wholesome; it is more--it is a tonic of the most vigorous sort, and I shall advise all of our young men to read it.

The present volume of Prof. Mathews indicates the nicety and the extent of his English studies, in the richness and variety of his quotations. His subjects are eminently practical, and he treats them in a practical way; but then what wealth of illustration he brings in from English poets, dramatists, divines, lawyers, and jurists! The anecdotes alone of the book should make it popular.
