' of the compiler . ' j The new edition of the Classified Catalogue of Educational Work * differs from its predecessor mainly in being more than half as thick again owing to the great increase in the number of books published \ for instruction , and will be so much more useful to the master , student , librarian , and bookseller . The work of School J 3 oards has been a ,, stimulus for the production of elementary manuals in almost incon- \ ceivable variety on arithmetic , English grammar , and science . Minute i and careful enumeration of these aids to learning is one of the main features of Messrs . Sampson Low & Co . ' s ' Classified Catalogue / especially in this new edition . Although for convenience sake the catalogue is called ' classified '—that being a familiar word—the arrangement is a great deal simpler . For example , works on the Calculus are found under that word , instead of troubling an un- ; learned consulter to think or find out that the calculus is a branch i of mathematics—and so with other branches of learning , llecord- I ing and keeping distinct the various editions , translations , and commentaries on the classics of Greece and Rome is also a matter which has received great attention . ; London : SAMPSON LOW St .
