...Latin Primer," and designed to "teach little children the elements of Latin as a living and flexible tongue, by familiar use in actual narrative and dialogue." Our readers may remember that we have already published an article which showed the unfairness of Mr. Reilley's insinuations against Harvard, and also that, so eager had this gentleman been to detect a mote in Mr. Allen's eye, he had not discovered the beam in his own eye; as, for instance, when he attacks Mr. Allen for using constructions which are sanctioned by the usage of Ovid and Horace.

If Mr. Reiley were to call on Mr. Allen, we think the result might be thus described: Alanus, stans pede altero, altero Reileium foras extrusit. There is also the brilliant remark that "compulit (instead of coegit) never occurs with an object infinitive in good Latin." E. g. Ovid (Fasti, III. 860): Compulerunt regem jussa nefanda pati...
