BOYD'S COMPOSITION AND RHETORIC.

Remarkable the space and attention given to grammatical principles, to affo substantial groundwork; also for the admirable treatment of synonyms, figura language, and the sources of argument and illustration, with notable exercises for paring the way to poetic composition.

BOYD'S ELEMENTS OF LOGIC.

explains, first, the conditions and processes by which the mind receives ideas, then unfolds the art of reasoning, with clear directions for the establishment and firmation of sound judgment. A thoroughly practical treatise, being a systematic philosophical condensation of all that is known of the subject.

BOYD'S KAMES' CRITICISM.

This standard work, as is well known, treats of the faculty of perception, and result of its exercise upon the tastes and emotions. It may therefore be termed a pendium of Aesthetics and Natural Morals; and its use in refining the mind and has made it a standard text-book.

BOYD'S ANNOTATED ENGLISH CLASSICS.

Milton's Paradise Lost.

Young's Night Thoughts.

Cowper's Task, Table Talk, &c.

Thomson's Seasons.

Pollok's Course of Time,
Lord Bacon's Essays.

In six cheap volumes. The service done to literature, by Prof. Boyd's Annota upon these standard writers, can with difficulty be estimated. Line by line the pressions and ideas are analyzed and discussed, until the best comprehension powerful use of language is obtained by the learner.
