With 112 Woodcuts. Post 8vo, 7s. 6d. This Manual presents, in a systematic form, and in a moderate compass, the most important results embodied in the "Dictionary of Greek and Roman Geography." The original work contains a great mass of information derived from the researches of modern travellers and scholars, which have not yet been made available for the purposes of instruction in our colleges and schools. Besides adapting the larger work, for a different class of readers, many valuable additions have been made, of which the most important are: 1. A history of Geography in Antiquity, containing an account of the views of the Hebrews, as well as of the Greeks and Romans, illustrated by maps of the world as known to the poets, historians, and geographers. 2. A full account of Scriptural Geography. 3. Numerous quotations from the Greek and Roman poets, which either illustrate, or are illustrated by, the statements in the text. Great pains have been taken to make the book as interesting as the nature of the subject would allow. The tedium naturally produced by an enumeration of political boundaries and topographical notices is relieved by historical and ethnographical discussions, while the numerous maps, plans, and other illustrations give life and reality to the descriptions. The Retreat of the Ten Thousand Greeks, the Expedition of Alexander the Great, and similar subjects, are discussed and explained. It has been an especial object to supply information on all points required by the upper classes in the public schools, and by students in the universities. "A valuable addition to our geographical works. It contains the newest and most reliable information derived from the researches of modern travellers. No better textbook can be placed in the hands of scholars."-Journal of Education. In Preparation, The Student's Manual of Modern Geography. 14 Mr. Murray's THE STUDENT'S SCRIPTURE HISTORY. I.

It will also be found very useful to many persons who have neither money to purchase, nor leisure to consult, the larger and more expensive works on Biblical History and Antiquities."-Educational Times. "All real students of the Bible will delight to possess this. The book will be a real treasure to those whose library is small, as they will find it to be of all but inestimable service."-Christian World. "Useful manuals of history which will no doubt obtain a wider circulation than the similar volumes on the History of Greece or Rome, as the subject-matter is of wider interest. We are glad to say that it will satisfy the more it is examined. Its tone is eminently reverential."-Churchman. "Aimple enough to make it a valuable companion to the study table of the clergy at arge, and to satisfy most of the wants of intellectual laymen."-Clerical Journal. "We have long needed such a condensed and scholarly view as that which is here given us. The works of Dr. Riddle and Mr. Maclear are both excellent in their own way, but they are brief and rudimentary. The present work is designed for students of a more advanced character, and is admirably suited to its purpose."-Patriot. In preparation, The Student's Manual of Ecclesiastical History.
