HARPER'S PHRASE-BOOK;

Or, Hand-Book of Travel Talk for Travellers and Schools. Being a Guide to Conversations in English, French, German, and Italian, on a New and Improved Method. Intended to accompany "Harper's Hand-Book for Travellers." By W. Pembroke Fetridge, Author of "Harper's Hand-Book." Assisted by Professors of Heidelberg University. With Concise and Explicit Rules for the Pronunciation of the different Languages. Square 4to, Flexible Cloth, $1 50.


We do not hesitate to pronounce this the best-prepared volume

of its class that has ever come under our eye. By experience Mr. Fetridge has ascertained what is wanted, and he has made a volume to meet the popular demand.—Boston Journal.

It has evidently been compiled with care and judgment, and seems to be superior on the whole to most of the European manuals which abound in the great European thoroughfares.—N. Y. Tribune.

The best, by far, we have yet seen, whether as regards general correctness, variety, and utility of conversational subjects, or preliminary grammatical information.—Philadelphia Press.

The phrases are generally put in such a form that they can be answered by Yes and No, which are understood in all languages. It is the best work of the kind that we have ever seen, and it is up to the live times. It would be well to introduce this work into our colleges and schools. It commends itself to private students.—Pittsburg Gazette.

Mr. Fetridge has done his work capitally, and both travellers and students will have excellent reasons gratefully to recollect his name.—Boston Traveller.

It is the most perfect work of the kind which has been issued. Great pains have been taken in its production, and good judgment exercised. Next to a good teacher, this manual is the most desirable for those who intend a complete foreign tour.—Albany Journal.

The book is a valuable addition to any student's library.—Worcester Spy.

The stiff and useless expressions commonly given in works of this description are avoided, and only those used which serve the purpose for which the work was compiled.—Savannah Republican.

A most valuable work.—N. Y. World.

We think this a most excellent volume—just the thing for which it was intended as expressed in its title.—Richmond Enquirer.
