Cornell's Geographies surpass all others in the following respects : — 1. In philosophic arrangement, the spirit of their motto being faithfully earried out — " First, the blade ; then the ear ; after that, the full corn in the ear." 1 CORNELL'S SERIES OF GEOGRAPHIES. 2. In the gradual progression of their steps, whereby the difficulties usually en- countered by beginners arc removed. 3. In presenting one thing at a time, and impressing it on the mind before another is introduced. 4. In the adaptation of each part to the age and grade of scholarship for which it is intended. 5. In the admirable mode they prescribe for memorizing the contents of a map. 6. In their full explanations and explicit directions for describing the natural divis- ions of the earth, saving the teacher time and labor. 7. In their judicious selection of facts, the usual mass of irrelevant details pertaining to astronomy, history, zoology, etc., being excluded. 8. In the appropriate and instructive character of their illustrations. 9. In consistency between maps and text. 10. In the introduction into the maps of such places only as are mentioned in the book — thus saving the pupil from the discouraging necessity of groping for a given locality among a labyrinth of crowded names. 11. In the clear presentation of every fact, and the analytical precision with which each branch of the subject is kept distinct. 12. In being at once practical, systematic, and complete, philosophical in arrange- ment, and progressive in the development of the subject. The Publishers respectfully solicit teachers in all parts of the country to examine, test, and compare with rival series, Cornell's popular and philosophical Text-Books on Geography, which have met with the almost unanimous approval of educators, and have, indeed, entirely revolutionized the mode of teaching this important branch. The Primary Geography.* The Primary Geography contains only those branches of geographical science that admit of being brought fully within the comprehension of the youthful beginner ; commencing at the foundation of the science, its object is to make the pupil thoroughly acquainted with the rela- tive position of the grand divisions of the earth, the leading political divisions, and the principal capital cities. The work is illustrated with upward of seventy beautiful and appropriate designs, among which will be found representations of an island, a peninsula, an isthmus, a cape, a mountain- chain, a sea, a bay, a strait, a lake, a river, etc., and also views of the most important cities in the world. The map questions are numerous and thorough, and so arranged that the pupil necessarily becomes acquainted with every locality described. At desirable intervals, there is a system- atic arrangement of promiscuous questions in review-lessons. A Pronouncing Vocabulary, containing the names of all the natural and political divisions used throughout the work, is appended. The Intermediate Geography." 5 The Intermediate Geography is, in accordance with the author's plan, designed for pupils who have completed a primary course on the subject. It possesses all the advantages of arrangement and system peculiar to the first book of the 8 CORNELL'S SERIES OF GEOGRAPHIES. Series. It clearly explains the terms used in Physical, Political, and Mathematical Geography, and contains a judiciously selected and carefully systematized amount of Descriptive Geography. It is also illustrated with a large number of well-executed woodcuts, engraved expressly for the work, comprising views of places, etc., never before presented in any school-book, de- signed not only to interest the pupil, but to impart valuable information. A thorough and practical System of Map-drawing is embodied. This work also embraces a Pronouncing Vocabulary of the geographical names. The Grammar-School Geography/ The Grammar-School Geography may either follow the Intermediate Geography or be used instead of it, as the second part of the series. The chief difference between the Intermedi- ate and the Grammar-School is that the latter, though no more elevated in style, is fuller in detail, presents a greater variety of map-questions, and a larger number of localities to be memorized. Both are alike philosophical in their arrangement, accurate in their statements, chastely and lavishly illustrated, highly attractive in their external appearance, and, generally, just what the intelligent teacher desires. A simple and practical system of Map-drawing is presented. The High-School Geography and Atlas.* The High-School Geography is an unusually attractive 12mo. (large size) volume of 405 pages, illustrated with over one hundred exquisitely executed engravings made expressly for this work. It treats very fully of Mathematical and Physical Geography, and in addition to the usual descriptive matter embraces a great variety of Map Questions, Directions for the use of Globes with numerous Problems on them, and a Glossary of Geographical Terms. The work embraces a system of Reviews, in which the questions, presented in new forms, require the pupil to look at the subject in different lights, and to compare and digest the vari- ous facts he has learned. Having just been thoroughly revised, it embodies the results of recent discoveries, and will be kept in all respects up to the times as a reliable exponent of the present state of geographical knowledge. THE COMPANION ATLAS, which is larger than the usual School Atlases, is unques- tionably one of the most beautiful and attractive volumes ever published. It contains two sets of Maps— one for study, the other for reference. Both have been prepared with the utmost care, they are based on the latest authorities, and have been brought fully up to date by recent revisions. They will be found fuller and more reliable than the maps of other Atlases of similar grade, and are admirably adapted to the wants of both schools and families. The Physical Geography.* This work is believed to be the most judicious, useful, and attractive text-book yet pub- lished on the important subject of which it treats. It avoids the dry and statistical style of former Physical Geographies, and unfolds the great mysteries of Nature, as exhibited in con- nection with the past and present condition of our planet, in a clear and striking manner that at once awakens the warmest interest in the learner. Its illustrations are numerous and beautiful. Its maps are magnificently executed, and accompanied with a great variety of map-questions which insure that their contents are thoroughly memorized. The researches 9 CORNELLS SERIES OF GEOGRAPHIES. of Humboldt, Dove, and otbor eminent writers, Lave been turned to the best account. The physical features of our own country receive minute attention ; and we are confident that teachers who once use this work will be unwilling to exchange it for any other. This series, so well known to American teachers, has been recently revised. The Map- questions have been brought in all cases directly opposite the Map to which they refer, and have been curtailed sufficiently to admit in the Intermediate a well-condensed Summary of Physical Geography — and in the Grammar-School very full details of the Physical Geography of our own country, as well as a simple and practical system of Map-drawing. The engrav- ings have been executed by our best artists ; they, as well as the typography, will speak for themselves. The magnificent Maps are the result of much experiment and labor, to which the publishers point with pride as the most beautiful specimens in this line of art ever offered to the American public. No other School-Books have received such general and unqualified commendation as has been awarded to the Cornell Scries by the Press, by State, County, and Town School Officers / by Presidents and Professors of Colleges, Principals of Academies, and Teachers of Public and Private Schools throughout the country. Prom thousands of Letters of Commendation, we have room only for the following : — From the Clerk of the Board of Education, City of New York. " Gentlemen— -In answer to your inquiry in re- gard to the use of Cornell's Series of Geographies in the Public Schools of New York, I will state that since their publication, about four-fifths of the whole number of geographies used in the schools under the jurisdiction of the Board of Education (25,000 copies a year) have been of Cornell's Series. This must be quite gratifying to both author and publishers, as the teachers are left free to choose such as they deem best adapted to the purposes of instruction. 1 ' From Rev. Levi W. Hart, Rector College Gram- mar School, Brooklyn. "Cornell's Grammar-School Geography is a perfect classic, as a school-book, because it inspires a deep interest in the study it presents, and meets that very interest, secures a varied statement of the facts, and reviews them closely. The boys, with scarcely an exception, learn the whole of every les- son, and compete keenly with each other as to the accuracy and fulness of information which they can gain." From A. W. Howland, Chairman School Comm., West port, Mass. "After a six months' trial of 's Primary and Common-School Geographies in our Common Schools, and carefully watching this practical test of those text-books, we find they fail to awaken that interest, and occupy that place as instructors, we had hoped for. In fact, we have proved them to be so inadequate to our wants that we have de- cided to remove them from our schools and sub- stitute for them Cornell's Series. These, after a thorough examination and trial— for they are al- ready in use— prove to be more acceptable and sat- isfactory than any book of the kind we have ever had in our Common Schools. Ttvey are giving the greatest satisfaction" From Prof. George M. Dews, Supt. of Schools, Columbus, Ga. M After a close examination of the Revised Pri- mary Geography, I can without any hesitation Bay that it is the best of the kind of which I have any knowledge. The Maps are perfect beauties, the arrangement of the text excellent. In the same terms can I speak of the Revised Intermediate." From J. W. Bulklet, City Supt. of Schools, Brook- lyn. "Cornell's Geographies have been espe- cial favorites in the Brooklyn schools from the time of their first publication. Their excellent method for memorizing the contents of the Maps, their judicious selection from a mass of unim- portaut details of what alone is necessary to be learned, their inductive system by which one thing is presented at a time, and each in its proper order, have commended them to our Teachers beyond all other works on the same subject. In the New Edition of the Intermediate I find many additional features of great value, which place the work, in my estimation, far in advance of all competitors. Its magnificent Maps, with their sharp lettering and tasteful coloring, cannot be too highly praised ; its illustrations are spirited, and its topography is admirable. In every respect the volume meets with my hearty approval." Millions of Cornell's Geographies have been Sold, 10 D. APPLETON & C OSS EDUCATIONAL WOBKS. Series of Outline Maps. BY S. S.

In their production the most recent and reliable authority has been carefully consulted ; if close attention and an honest endeavor will accomplish any thing, these maps are accu- rate. They are believed to be the only Series that includes separate maps of the different sections of the Union. By an economical arrangement and judicious disposition of matter, the space has been used to the greatest possible advantage. Every thing is clear and pleasing to the eye. The engraviug and printing are bold and distinct. The coloring is neat and durable. They are printed on fine white paper, and strongly backed with muslin. The Key contains the pronunciation of all names employed in it. Cornell's Cards/ FOR THE STUDY AND PRACTICE OF MAP DRAWING.

APPLETON <& GO:S EDUCATIONAL WORKS The Elementary Spelling-Book.* BY NOAH WEBSTER, LL.D. 16mo. 108 pp. This notable little volume has now been before the country more than thirty years, and in that time over 30,000,000 copies of it have been made and sold. It would be impos- sible to say how many of the men and women of our country, now living, and under forty years. of age, began their education with this book, learned from its pages to distinguish between the shapes of those terrible tormentors of child-life, the twenty-six letters of the Alphabet, and were initiated into the great mysteries of a, b — ab, and kindred combina- tions. The number is very large, but of the rising generation certainly a great majority will be of this class. This book has "taught the young idea" of the whole country that customary piece of juvenile gunnery of which you have so often heard. The fact that there is no other really excellent book of the class, having any thing like its circulation, has estab- lished this work everywhere as a truly national standard, of which we print 484 copies per hour, during 10 hours of each of the 310 working days of the year; or 4,840 copies per day, being over 1,500,000 per annum. THE SAME, fine edition, price 38 cents. The low price at which the ordinary edition is sold, being inconsistent with that elegant appearance which is required of books in many of our best schools, we have, at the earnest solicitation of numerous teachers, issued a neat edition on fine paper. Learning to Spell, to Read, to Write, and to Compose.- BY J. A. JACOBS, A.M. PRINCIPAL OP THE KENTUCKY INSTITUTE FOR THE EDUCATION OF DEAF MUTES 16mo. 332 pages, 514 Illustrations. Price 75 cents. The endeavor in this book is to teach a child to exert his intellect, and to learn to think, at the same time that he is learning to spell and to read. It is thought that children are taught too much by rote ; that they are all sufficiently intelligent to understand the reason of what they are required to learn, and that if this reason is clearly given to them with the lesson, they will learn much more readily, and remember infinitely better, just as grown persons will remember the phrase that expresses an idea, when they will forget any arbitrary collocation of words. The same book has been used with great success in the education of deaf mutes, and its system is certainly worth a trial upon pupils who can not be at any dis- advantage through the possession of two additional senses. 12 D. APPLETON & CO: 8 EDUCATIONAL WOBKS. First Lessons in Mechanics: WITH PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS, DESIGNED FOR THE USE OF SCHOOLS. BY WILLIAM E. WORTHEN. 12mo. 192 pages. Price 75 cents. It is believed that this volume meets, in a condensed and simple form, the wants of those Schools that appreciate the importance of this subject. The fundamental principles of Mechanics are unfolded, and their more common applications explained. Avoiding mere theory and reasoning, the author has presented results simply, confining himself throughout to matters of general practical utility. With this view, he has treated chieliy of the simple mechanical powers, the most important machines in which they are combined, the composi- tion and resolution of forces, the centre of gravity, motive powers, water-wheels, the steam engine, gearing and shafting, the various kinds of pumps, and friction, with its effects on machinery. From B. M. Reynolds, Princ. of Lockport (X. Y.) wants of our schools. The simplicity of its style, Union School. u The copy of ' First Lessons in Mechanics,' by TV. E. "Worthen, came duly to hand. I have given the book some notice, and would say that the ar- rangement, and easy as well as natural style of the work, please me much. This Department of Natu- ral Philosophy is quite difficult to be understood by pupils, but the manner in which Mr. "Worthen has treated the subject, I think, will remove much of the trouble which has been heretofore experienced.." From P. P. Brown, Jr., Princ. of Grammar School, , Madison Univ. " I have examined with considerable care a little and the clearness and abundance of its illustra- tions, combined with its numerous practical exam- ples, render it just the book needed to make the pupils in the different grades of schools acquainted with a subject which ought to be familiar to all classes of society." From A. S. Higgins, Princ. Union School, Hunt- ington, L, I. " You did me the kindness to send me 1 "vVorthen's First Lessons in Mechanics.' I am highly pleased with it. I think it well adapted for the district schools and for the elementary classes in the higher ones. It is a study in which I am much interested, work which you have recently published, entitled j and have had occasion to use the examples in the 1 First Lessons in Mechanics,' and hesitate not to j book for a more advanced class. I hope soon to see say that I consider it admirably adapted to the I it in our lower classes." HUfo S tries of ^tWin^^aah* BY HENRY MANDEVILLE, D. D. The several books forming this Series differ not merely in size and price, but in elevation :>f language, of style, and of subject-matter. Each in succession is an obvious advance on that which precedes it. The selections will be found to contain some of the finest gems in the language, which jannot fail of interesting the pupil, and cultivating a literary taste. I. PRIMARY READER.

This volume contains a collection of the most approved plays ef Shakespeare, carefully revised, with introductory and explanatory notes, and a memoir of the author. Designed for the use of schools and the family reading circle. The method of the volume is first a brief reference to the history of the play, then the presentation of leading acts and scenes, connected by simple narrative, sufficient to keep up with the story, and give the pupil an understanding of the whole text. Home Pictures of English Poets FOR FIRESIDES AND SCHOOL-ROOMS. BY K. A. S. 1 vol. 12mo. Price $1.00. No more practical or acceptable text-book can be found for Young Ladies' Seminaries, or Academies of any kind, in which it is desired to impart a correct and thorough knowledge of English Literature in a reasonably brief space of time. For private study or family read- ing, it will be found equally valuable. The Natural Speaker. BEING SELECTIONS TO AID THE STUDENT IX ACQUIRING A SIMPLE, NATURAL, BUSINESS-LIKE STYLE OF SPEAKING. BY JOSEPH ALDEN, D. D., LL. D., PRESIDENT OP NEW YORK STATE NORMAL SCHOOL. WITH A PREFATORY NOTE BY JAMES M'COSH, D.D., LL. D., PRES. OF PPJXCETOX COLLEGE, 12mo. 302 pages, Price $1.25. This book is made up of selections from the choicest portions of some of the choicest writers of the language. Hence it may be profitably used as a reading-book for classes in Rhetoric. None of the selections in prose have appeared in any similar work. They are short, but sufficiently long for the object in view, which is, to furnish exercises in simple, natural busi- ness-like speaking. Those who would form a theatrical, declamatory manner, will find in it nothing adapted to their purpose. 14 D. APPLET ON & GO: 8 EDUCATIONAL WORKS Class-Book of Poetry.* BY ELIZA BOBBINS. 16mo. 252 pages. Price $1.25. In no other way can an elegant style of expression and a taste for the beauties of litera- ture be so readily imparted to the young as by making them familiar with poetry. This fact is admitted by our best educators, and it was a conviction of its truth that induced the author to undertake the task of preparing a " Class-Book of Poetry." She has drawn with care and judgment on the purest and most distinguished writers of England and America, and has made a compilation which, in point of interest, variety, and general merit, challenges comparison. No young person can go through it without being benefited mor- ally as well as intellectually. One great advantage of the book consists in the interspersing of remarks, to explain dif- ficult words and obscure allusions of every kind, and furnish information respecting the lives of the authors from whom the extracts are taken. A few words thus judiciously in- troduced awaken the pupil's interest in the subjects treated, and enable him to read un- derstandingly, and therefore correctly. The number of public and private academies and young ladies' seminaries in which this work is used, attests its excellence as a school-book. Guide to Knowledge.* BY ELIZA ROBBINS. 16mo. 417 pages. Price $1.00. This work contains a large amount of useful information, communicated in an entertain ing and easy style, by familiar questions and answers on every-day subjects, such as children are constantly asking questions about. Beginning with elementary topics, it ranges ovei the whole circle of useful knowledge, embracing some of the most important facts connect- ed with Geography, Botany, Natural History, Physiology, Architecture, and Domestic Economy, besides a vast amount of miscellaneous information. The language is simple, the style unpretending, the arrangement judicious, the selection of facts highly attractive. For awakening thought and storing the mind with information which will be useful throughout life, yet which many become men and women without acquiring, few volumes will be found more valuable. From Arthur's Home Journal. " Every parent who remembers how often he has been puzzled to answer in an intelligible mam er the acute yet simple questions put by a thoughtful child, will be glad to hail, in a book of this kind, a solution to a great extent of this difficulty. It is not, of course, to be expected that any volume will give an explana- tion to every question which a child may happen to put; for many such inquiries touch upon the profound- est subjects, and are not capable of being simplified in iuch a manner as to be brought satisfactorily home to the comprehension of a youthful mind ; but so far as it was possible to give brief, clear, and pertinent answers on the various subjects appertaining to every-day life, it has been accomplished in this volume." From the Journal and Messenger. "It is a storehouse of various information for the young. We know of no elementary book, that with the necessary aid of judicious instructors, and suita- ble illustrative helps, can be made more useful ta youth." 5 D.

Williams, Prof, of Mathematics and Natural Philosophy, University of Mich. " After an examination of the last editions of these works, I am prepared to repeat the opinion formerly expressed, that they are the best Arith- metics in use, or accessible in this part of our country." From I. W. Jackson, A. M., Prof, of Mathematics in Union College. " The Higher Arithmetic is a work of an order superior to any that has been issued from the American press. Indeed, I am acquainted with no work on Arithmetic in the English language equal to it. I am confident that its general adoption as a text-book, by our seminaries, would be considered, by all who feel an interest in the promotion of the exact sciences, as an omen of good." From the Literary World. " This is by far the most scientific Elemen- tary Arithmetic we have seen. There are a neat- ness of arrangement, a dispersion of matter, an accuracy and force of statement, which prepare the learner from the onset for the handling of the higher mathematics. It also has a neat typographi- cal dress, for which the publishers may rightly congratulate themselves, as well as by the method of the author. There is a clean and clear style about the whole book. It is straightforward, with- out repetition, brings related subjects into apposi- tion, simplifies difficulties, and is practically use- ful." From William L. Eaton, Prof, of Mathematics Branch of University, Kalamazoo, Mich. " I have examined Prof. Perkins's Arithmetics, and like them much for their conciseness and com- prehensiveness, as well as the practical nature of their examples. The Higher Arithmetic is, in my opinion, what it purports to be, a Higher Arith- metic, and such a one as all those who design to be thoroughly acquainted with the science of num- bers should be familiar with." From the Chicago Daily Journal. " We have a copy of the Elementary Arithmetic lying before us, which is worthy of the patronage of all friends of education. Whether in the au- thors clear and brief elucidation of first principles, his treatment of that old 1 Golden Eule 1 of num- bers, the Kule of Three, his disposition of Frac- tions, his explanation of the Square and Cube Root (so often roots of bitterness to the young learner), his exercises in analysis, or his admir- able arrangement of the whole, there is much to commend and but little to condemn, and it is nor, so much a matter of wonder that Prof. Perkins has produced such a work, as that some one had not long ago anticipated him." 16 JPERKIXS* ALGEBRAIC SERIES. PERKINS' ALGEBRAIC SERIES. I. Elements of Algebra/ 12mo. 244 pages. Price $1.50. The want of a text-book on Algebra sufficiently simple for common schools was long and seriously felt ; it is now supplied by this work of Prof. Perkins. Many years' experience in training the youthful mind, and instilling into it the principles of mathematical science, has enabled the author to adapt himself to the dullest comprehension and to remove the difficulties that have hitherto impeded the scholar's progress. Among the peculiar merits of this work, besides its simplicity already alluded to. are the conciseness of its rules and definitions ; its close and logical reasoning, which calls the powers of the learner into active exercise ; and the great number and variety of its exam pies, which afford every opportunity for extended practice. II. Treatise on Algebra:* EMBRACING, BESIDES THE ELEMENTARY PRINCIPLES, ALL TIIE HIGHER PARTS USUALLY TAUGHT IN COLLEGES; CONTAINING, MOREOVER, THE NEW METHOD OF CUBIC AND HIGHER EQUATIONS, AS WELL AS TIIE DEVELOPMENT AND APPLICA- TION OF THE MORE RECENTLY DISCOVERED THEOREM OF STURM. 8vo. Sheep. 420 pages. Price 82.00. What the Elements are to Common Schools, this Treatise is to Academies and Colleges. It will be seen from the title, given above, that it is comprehensive and complete. The principles of the science are combined and arranged on a new pZan, which renders the in- crease in difficulty exceedingly gradual. The method of finding the numerical values oi the roots of Cubic and Higher Equations, and the application of Sturm's Theorem, open up to the student new fields as interesting as they are important. Nothing valuable found in other text-books is omitted ; while much that has been gleaned by extensive reading from the later treatises of France and Germany is presented — and that in a form which bears the impress of a master's hand. The numerous institutions in which the Treatise has been adopted as the standard text- book on Algebra, speak of its practical workings in the highest terms. A few certificates relating to it, as well as the Elements, are appended. From Gerardfs B. Docdartt, Professor of Mathe- matics, Free Acad&ny, N. Y. "The Treatise on Algebrs, as a text-book, has no superior. Its arrangement is excellent; the rules explicit, the explanations lucid, and the style in which it is ■written is well adapted to lead the tyro rapidly to h skilful knowledge of the higher analysis." From P. M W. Redfield, late Assistant Professor of Jfathe77iatics, 2T. Y. University. "I have examined, with much satisfaction, Perkins' ilgebraic Series, and believe the Treatise is inferior to none in point of clearness, accuracy, and logical devel- opment For his Elementary work on Algebra, the au- thor deserves the thanks of teachers. He seems to have been the first to discover that, even in the education of children, a course of conclusive reasoning may with profit supersede the old system of dogmatical dictation.'" 2 1 From Ciiarles Avery A. M., A. A. S., Professor in Hamilton College. "I have examined Perkins' Algebra, and am pleased with it. I esteem it a valuable work of the kind, and do therefore cheerfully recommend it to the confidence and patronage of the public." From Prof. Jacksox, of Union College. "I have examined Prof. Perkins' Elements of Alge- bra. It is a work in which the peculiar merits of the French and English systems are combined ; the prac- tical and theoretical being made to illustrate each other. It is consequently better adapted to elementary instruc- tion in our seminaries than any work I have seen. In deed, it is equally fitted for the common school and the college, as the elementary principles are exhibited suffi- ciently in detail and with admirable clearness^ and the higher parts of the science are fully and ably discussed." 7 PERKINS* GEOMETRICAL SERIES. PERKINS' GEOMETRICAL SERIES I. Elements of Geometry/ WITH PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS. 12mo. 3^0 pages. Price $1.25. In these Elements it is aimed to strip Geometry of its difficulties, and render it an attract- ive study. This is effected hy giving a practical hearing to every thing that is taught. Tha pupil is not allowed to grope in the dark, and ask, " What is the use of these demonstra- tions?" As soon as a principle is explained, it is applied to the practical purposes of life by means of remarks, suggestions, and questions, added in smaller type. This original feature invests Geometry with an interest of which its apparently abstract character haa heretofore deprived it. An Appendix, containing the solution of some geometrical problems by means of Algebra,, shows the facility with which difficult cases yield to the analytical method of investigation. The relation between the branches of mathematical science is also made clear by the exhi- bition of some curious Theorems, evolved by translating the results of algebraic deductions into geometrical language. II. Plane and Solid Geometry:* TO WHICH ARE ADDED, PLANE AND SPHERICAL TRIGONOMETRY AND MENSURATION, ACCOMPANIED WITH ALL THE NECKSSARY LOGARITHMIC AND TRIGONOMETRIC TABLES. Large 8vo. 443 pages. Price $2.00. This work is intended to follow the Elements, and gives an extended course in the higher as well as the more rudimental departments of the science, adapted for advanced schools and colleges. It is based on the admirable work of Vincent, revised by Bourdon, which has long been the geometrical standard in the French schools. All that is valuable in Vincent has been taken ; but the mathematical attainments and practical skill of Prof. Perkins are everywhere exhibited in adapting, modifying, rearranging, and adding. No labor has been spared to make every point clear and satisfactory to the pupil, for without this there can be neither pleasure nor profit in pursuing the study. Every case is illus- trated with examples, wrought out in full wherever this seemed to be necessary to their thorough comprehension. That part of the work which relates to the applications of Geometry is worthy of special attention. It is believed that the first principles of Plane and Spherical Trigonometry ana Mensuration have never before been unfolded with such clearness as in this volume. An eminent Professor of Mathematics, in speaking of Perkins'' Elements of Geometry, says : "We have adopted it, because it follows more closely the best model of pure geometrical reasoning which ever has been and perhaps ever will be exhibited ; and because the author has condensed some of the impor- tant principles of the great master of geometricians, and more especially has shown that his theorems are not mere theory, by many practical applications; a From J. M Phtpps, Adjt. Prof, of Mathematics m the University of Mississippi. " I have examined with as much care and attenth'* as my time would permit, Prof. Perkins' Series of Mathematical Text-books, and am much pleased with them. They are the most complete books in their de- sign and execution which I have ever seen. I hope they will be generally introduced Into ©ur schools and colleges. They will, I think, if tried, prove eminem 1 -: quality in a text-book of this science no less uncom- ; satisfactory, and not a little conducive to sound an« inon than it is important." thorough mental discipline." 18 PERKIN& GEOMETRICAL SERIES. From Pkof. "Wm. M. Gillespie, of Union College. " Prof. Perkins' new Geometry I regard as the most .mportant advance in the study of that science in this country, since Legendre's was substituted for Euclid's. That was a great step in progress; for, though the stu- dent may well begin with mastering the First Book 5f Euclid for its method, life is too short to learn in that way all the truths of Geometry. But Legendre is now ' becoming antiquated in France, and his book is usuauj accompanied with additions and annotations. The most complete work is that of Vincent, edited by his well-known father-in-law, Bourdon. Prof. Perkins has wisely made this the basis of his new Elements, which therefore deserves a very careful examination by everj teacher. Its leading features are new and valuable, and the experience of Prof. Perkins as a teacher and a wri- 1 ter renders it probable that its details are equally good." Perkins' Plane Trigonometry,* AND ITS APPLICATION TO MENSURATION AND LAND SURVEYING, ACCOMPANIED "WITH ALL THE NECESSARY LOGARITHMIC AND TRIGONOMETRIC TABLES. 8vo. 328 pages. Sheep. Price $2.00. Lying at the foundation of Surveying and Navigation, it is highly important that Trigo- nometry should be thoroughly understood by the practical student. Feeling the want of a suitable text-book in his own instructions, Mr. Perkins has applied himself to the task of producing one, keeping constantly in mind the capabilities of the young mathematical student, and calling to his aid his large experience in teaching the subjeet, and his original improvements and discoveries connected therewith. His work is remarkable for its simplicity, and bears throughout the marks of its practical origin. The beginner in the science and the proficient will alike find matter of prime value in its pages. The chapters on Land Surveying will prove of incalculable assistance to those who intend following this pursuit in life. The necessary Tables are furnished in an Appendix, and it is believed that there are no mistakes in the figures to annoy teacher and scholar. The type used in these Tables has been cast expressly for them in the old style of Arabic digits, which, it is generally admitted, is less fatiguing to the eye than that now commonly used. From E. S. Smell, Professor of Mathematics and Natural Philosophy, Amherst College. " So far as I can as yet judge, it is to be ranked among the most lucid and best arranged treatises on these snb- iects. It is also quite complete, and contains some pe- culiar and elegant discussions. The Tables I admire for their beautiful clearness; and, Indeed, the typogra- phy of the whole work does much credit to the pub- lishers." From Wm. J. Rolfe, recent Principal of Day Acad- emy, Wrentham, Mass. " I have taken two classes through Perkins 1 Trigo- nometry, and do not hesitate to place it very far above any similar work that I have ever taught I do not believe there is a book before the public, which con- tains half as much practical matter on the subject of Surveying. I have taken every opportunity to recom- mend it to my fellow-teachers, and have no doubt that Bome of them will adopt it" From Pkof. Heney H. White, Canton, Missouri. "The Treatise on Trigonometry is very clear and well arranged; and he who masters it can have no possible difficulty in applying its principles to all prac- tical problems." From J. Zchitek, Professor of Mathematics, College of St. Michaels and All Angels. " It contains, in a condensed form, all the principles of Plane Trigonometry that will, most likely, be needed in its application to the practical purposes of life. They are explained and demonstrated in a plain and concise manner, and the various examples and problems solved and unsolved are well calculated to make the student familiar with their principles and expert in the appli- cation of them. The practical bearing of the work will no doubt make it a useful manual to the surveyor and engineer." The Literary World, in speaking of Perkins' 1 Plane Trigonometry aiid Surveying, says: "The Mathematical Series of Mr. Perkins has ob- tained a high reputation for clear and perspicuous ar- rangement, and an especial adaptation to the wants of practical men. These desiderata are not wanting in the present work. "The rectangular system of calculating the areas of irregular plots of land, bounded by straight lines, is elegantly illustrated and accompanied by numerous ex- amples. The Tables of Logarithms and Logarithms of Natural Sines, &c, are printed In the form of type used in French mathematical works, and are, in other re- spects, valuable to students, mechanics, and surveyors.* 19 D.

The most recent improvements in the methods of surveying the public lands of the United States, with the methods used for marking "corners," are minutely described from official authorities. A double ohject has been kept in view in the preparation of the volume, viz., to make an introductory treatise easy to he mastered hy the young scholar or the practical man of little previous acquirement, the only pre-requisites heing arithmetic and a little geometry ; and, at the same time, to make the instruction of such a character as to lay a foundation broad enough and deep enough for the most complete superstructure which the professional student may subsequently wish to raise upon it. From Pbof. D. H. Mahan, West Point Academy. " In this treatise, Prof. Gillespie has given another evidence of bis practical acquaintance with the wants of the teacher and pupil in his specialty, and of his ability to meet them. His work, which presents sev- eral new features in its plan, is written with such plain- ness, and illustrated with such copiousness of diagram and detail, as cannot fail to render the subject of easy attainment to the most ordinary comprehension." From the N. Y. Tribune. u Prof. Gillespie, who so ably fills the chair of Civil Engineering in Union College, has acquired an honor- able fame for the zeal, intelligence, and energy with which he has devoted himself to the advancement of his favorite science. In the present volume he has performed a new and excellent service to the cause of popular education. His work is not a mere compilation from former treatises. He has aimed at a higher object than rethreshing old straw. Convinced that the art of surveying, in spite of its vast practical importance, its utility as a branch of study, and its admirable illustra- tions of the bearings of pure mathematics, has never yet been reduced to a complete and harmonious sys- tem, he has endeavored to unfold a few simple princi- ples as the foundation for the art, which is equally ap- plicable to taking the dimensions of a cornfield and to the measurement of the starry heavens. . . . For the accuracy and completeness with which the subject has been treated by Prof. Gillespie, his scientific reputation affords a presumptive guarantee; but this is a point to be decided by experts ; the clearness of his method* and the fullness of the information which he impart* are obvious, however, to the uninitiated outsider." 20 GILLESPIE'S LAND SURVEYING. Extract from, a Letter from Hon. A. C. Paige, Judge of Supreme Court. " Of its usefulness to surveyors, civil engineers, and land proprietors, its simplification of principles, and the lucid and systematic arrangement of its subjects, it is unnecessary for me to speak. But I would wish to bear my testimony to the value of the present work to judges and the legal profession generally. The chapter which discusses the subject of the change in the varia- tion cf the magnetic needle, is particularly important; since ancient boundaries, run from descriptions in old deeds, cannot be correctly traced on the ground with- out a knowledge of this variation. This portion of the work is of peculiar interest to me, for the case alluded to on pages 20S, 209, was one tried before me when sit- ting in the Supreme Court Finding, at that time, the insufficiency of ordinary aids, I applied to Prof. Gilles- pie; and, through his kindness and the transparent manner in which the subject was set before me, was enabled at once to come to a correct decision. My ex- perience in this case, among others, has impressed upon me the importance of a clear understanding of at least this branch of surveying. I would, therefore, recom- mend Prof. Gillespie's work to a place in the library of every good lawyer." From Pbof. E. S. Snell, Amherst College. " Please accept my thanks for the copy lately re- ceived of Prof Gillespie's Surveying. I very much admire its systematic character, its completeness and fullness, and its adaptedness in all respects to the wants of the teacher, the pupil, and the practical surveyor. I have seen no work which can at all be brought into comparison with it." From Pbof. Aug. TT. Smith, Wesleyan University. "On examination, I find it the most full and com- plete of any work on Practical Surveying with which I am acquainted. It furnishes information, minute and specific, on all points which are likely to occur in prac- tice. ... I know of no better work, or one better adapted to the wants of those who have not the aid of the living teacher." From Norton's Literary Gazette. "This is an unusually excellent book of Prof. Gille* pie"s, most invaluable to the actual practitioner, and so comprehensive and yet simple in its classification and details that the amateur or the student may easily mas- ter it. A prominent feature in the book is the beauty of its arrangement under a few perfectly and cleariy distinct heads, within the divisions of which all the materials are brought in a lucid manner. . . . The various methods of avoiding obstacles, and the careful attention to minutiae, mark how practically the profes- sor has prepared his work. . . . The great amount of practical knowledge displayed in this volume, and tho simplicity and originality of its methods, will render this work an important text-book in our seminaries and a valuable guide to the young engineer. ' From the Presbyterian. To the professional surveyor, and to landed proprt etors, this volume will prove a treasure. The treatise is exhaustive of its subject Every instrument is de- scribed, every obstacle foreseen and provided for; the various methods, which experience has approved, fully set forth; rules and practice in working, simplified; diagrams numerous, and at once obvious ; and, in short the whole theory and practice of surveying so lucidly developed, that with little previous acquirement and proper attention, any one, with this book as a guide, may soon qualify himself for this most useful and in- teresting occupation of land surveying. The typogra- phy and'general appearance of the volume are all that could be desired." From the American Railway Times. "Prof. Gillespie is well known to the engineering profession for his valuable work on'Koad Making,' and for the zeal, intelligence, energy, and success with which he has devoted himself to the advancement of science. . . . We shall not hesitate in recommending the volume to the commendation of all who are in quest of information upon this most important matter of surveying."

Marshall's "Oratory" presents superior claims to the attention of teachers of elocution, by reason of the choice character and great number of its selections, their novelty, variety, and peculiar adaptation to school purposes. It has been compiled expressly to meet the wants of common schools and academies, containing pieces of every style and length, and widely differing in difliculty of execution, so that the beginner and the proficient in the art may alike suit themselves from its pages. There is a freshness about the extracts that strikingly distinguishes them from the stereotyped selections in the old text-books. They consist of choice specimens of prose and poetry from the most distinguished American and English authors — from such master-minds as Webster, Clay, Calhoun, Everett, Prentiss, Wirt. Randolph, Channing, Longfellow, Bryant, Hood, Brougham, Scott, Byron, and Shakspeare. In no other work is so perfect a picture of American eloquence presented, the statesmen of all sections of the Union being fully represented. The studei t who desires to form a just estimate of his country's orators, and to improve himself by the use of the admirable irodels which they have left, will find all that he can desire in this volume. From the Evangelist. I universal, at least among modern writers in prose, verse, "A large and admirable selection of pieces for dccla- and drama. The editor is a practical teacher of elocu- »»tion, copious and varied, and well chosen with ref- i tion, and evidently has a wide acquaintance with litera- a ence to speaking. The range of selection is almost | ture. It is as good a work of the kind as we ever saw." Introduction to the Study of Art.* BY M. A. DWIGHT, AUTHOR OF "GRECIAN AND ROMAN MYTHOLOGY." 12mo. 278 pages. Price $1.25. This work is the result of practical teaching, pursued for many years. It is nothing more than it purports to be — an introduction, intended to give some idea of the require- ments of art, and to aid the beginner in its study. The rules presented are deduced from the works of the best masters, and are founded exclusively on nature. The young artist, too generally left to the vague and ill-directed promptings of his own genius, will find in this volume a safe and faithful guide, with whose aid he can avoid the rocks on which others have split, and make the most satisfactory progress in his studies. There is no mis- understanding the teachings of the author.

The peculiarities of different kinds of foliage and the most approved methods of presenting them are fully dwelt upon. The subject of Perspective, together with its practical application, is treated in a manner which can- not fail of being comprehended by all who will give them a proper degree of attention. The size of each book being about that of an ordinary sheet of foolscap paper, the author has been able to exhibit the peculiarities of every surface represented, enabling the pupil to see the effect, and the method by which that effect is produced.

Appletons' Arithmetical Series. BY Cjc. P. QUACKENBOS, LL.D., UPON THE BASIS OP THE WORKS OP GEORGE R . PERKINS, LL.D. This New Series of Arithmetics embraces five text-books, which are as nearly perfect, iu all respects, as care, thought, and labor could make them. All the extended experience of the author and his happy faculty of imparting instruction to the young, aided by suggestions from our best teachers, have been brought to bear, to produce a clear, comprehensive, philosophi- cal, and practical system. Their distinguishing features, as a whole, and the points on which their claims to superi- arity rest, are as follows : I. They are well graded. There is no overlapping, no unnecessary repetition, hut a continuons ad- vancement— a gradual progression from step to step. The teacher is not obliged to look up a ivork by some other author to fill up an annoying gap. This is an important feature, which most Arith- metical series lack. II. Good judgment is shown in apportioning the space. Prominence is given to those branches of Commercial Arithmetic which are likely to be needed in after-life— the making out of Bills and Ac- counts of Sales, Partial Payments. Profit and Loss, etc. III. They are consistent with each other. The definitions and rules in the different numbers areas far as practicable, in the same words, and similar modes of reasoning are employed throughout. This b Teatly facilitates the pupil's comprehension and acquisition of the subject. TV. They are philoso])hically a/ranged. The easier parts take precedence of the more difficult ; noth- ing is anticipated, to the bewilderment of the pupil. V. The rules are brief and analyses well condensed. This is a point of no little moment, the labor of both teacher and learner being greatly increased by a multiplicity of words, and frequently the entire meaning lost in the mass of matter, when a terse form of expression would make it perfectly clear. VL. These books teach the metliods actually used by business men. They make it a specialty to present business terms and operations, an insight being thus afforded into commercial life which will be diffi- cult to obtain from any other text-books. VII. The examples are more varied and more numerous than in other books of like grade. The space saved by stating rules and principles in a condensed form is thus used to the greatest practical advan- tage ; and, to accustom the pupil to every possible application, the language of the examples is varied as much as possible. YlH. They are inductive. The rules are approached by preliminary examples showing the reason of the process in a way to impress it permanently on the mind. This wonderfully facilitates the mem- orizing of the rules. General laws are deduced from individual cases. IX. A principle once taught is not allowed to be forgotten. In one form or another it is made the sub- ject of constant review, and is so interwoven in the examples successively presented that it cannot escape the mind. X. The examples are so constmcted as to require thought on the part of the pupil. Suggestive questions are often introduced after examples involving some new points, leading the thoughts of the pupil in the right direction, and encouraging him to think out the matter for himself, without applying to his teacher for aid. This is an excellent feature, and original with its author. XI. The examples do not involve tedious operations— particularly those given first under the rules. A principle may be illustrated with simple numbers, as well as with combinations of a dozen figures, while, by the former, the pupil is saved from discouragement and a waste of time and labor. XII. Finally, they teach the shortest, simplest, and most easy to be remembered modes of perform- ing the different operations of which they treat. As such we commend them to the educators of the country, fully believing that they must be satisfactory to every teacher who desires to give his pupils a thorough, and at the same time a practical knowledge of this subject. The separate volumes composing this series possess individual peculiarities and excellences, a few of which we mention : 24 D. APPLET ON db CO.'S EDUCATIONAL WORKS. I. Primary Arithmetic. 16mo. Pages 108. Price, 30 cents. This little book, presupposing no knowledge of numbers, calls in the aid of the eye in ob- ject-lessons to impress their relative value on the mind ; and, following the only true method, that of uniting written with mental Arithmetic, from the very outset carries the beginner as far as Compound Numbers. It clearly unfolds the principles of Numeration, from a want of proper acquaintance with which, even advanced pupils too often suffer. It develops the four fundamental rules in a natural and interesting way ; first giving questions on the illustrations (which are numerous and very beautiful) and then embodying the results attained in tables, instead of presenting the tables to be memorized without any preliminary preparation for them. It gives the important Tables of money, weight, measure, etc., with exercises under each to familiarize the pupil with them. Its models of analysis are brief and clear, such as the youngest learner can follow. The charm of this book is the interest with which it invests the subject — the pupil, understanding every thing as he advances, progresses rapidly and with positive delight. II. Elementary Arithmetic. 12mo. Pages 144. Price, 50 cents. From the Primary the pupil proceeds to the Elementary, and by gradual and easy steps the way is prepared for the Practical. This book does not involve a waste of time by occu- pying the same ground as the Practical, as is the case with books of this grade belonging to most series, but is. so constructed as to make the step from the Primary to the Practical easy, and the latter readily understood. The Tables are not presented in a body, to be confounded together by the pupil, but ap- propriate exercises, mental and written, are given under each, to fix it in the mind of the pupil. All the examples or problems are strictly practical, made up as they are of important sta- tistics and valuable facts in History and Philosophy, which are thus unconsciously learned in acquiring a knowledge of Arithmetic. III. Practical Arithmetic. 12mo. Pages 336. Price, $1.00. This book is strictly what its name indicates, a Practical Arithmetic. The style, as in the other books, is perspicuous. No undefined technical terms are used. There is no ambiguity in the wording of the examples, to perplex the pupil and make him trouble his teacher for ex- planations. The examples, are 3,250 in number, affording the pupil excellent faculties for practice, and are remarkable for their variety and practical bearing. It is up to the times, and adapted to our present financial condition. The prices given are those of to-day. The difference between Gold and Currency is recognized and taught ; the rates of duties agree with the present tariff; a full description of the different classes of TJ. S. Securities is given, with examples to show the comparative results of investments in them. These are matters that children as well as adults ought to know and understand. 25 D. APPLET ON & CO:S EDUCATIONAL WORKS. All the branches of Mercantile Arithmetic have received special attention — the making out of bills, the casting of interest, partial payments, operations in profit and loss, averaging accounts, equation of payments, etc. Much collateral information on business subjects has been embodied. The metric system, with the nomenclature as given in the report of the Committee of the Ilouse of Representatives on Coinage, Weights, and Measures, and therefore the only authori- tative form and nomenclature yet presented to the country, and which it is likely to bear, when it shall come into general use, is thoroughly taught. By tables of Equivalents and an ap- plication of the principles of analysis previously taught, the pupil is enabled to make changes from the old system to the new, and from the new system to the old, in the simplest manner possible. The confusing rules of other authors thus become unnecessary. All of these new applications are to be found in their proper places throughout the book, and are not introduced by the addition of a few pages to an old edition. The entire book is new, and every line has been carefully weighed with a view of giving the learner what would be the most useful, and best prepare him for the duties of active life, either in or out of the counting-room. This volume will be found the most effective and valuable work yet published on this im- portant subject. It has two principal objects in view — to discipline the mind, and to impart quickness and accuracy in mental calculations ; and it aims to secure these ends in the pleas- antest way to both teacher and learner. Among its more important features are the following : 1. The gradual and inductive mode of unfolding the subject, with the aid of rigid but clear analyses expressed as briefly as possible. 2. The introduction vf necessary definitions, too often excluded from Mental Arithmetics. 3. The great variety and practical bearing of the Examples ; the careful avoidance of ob- scurity in wording them, and the exclusion of all questions involving impossibilities or ab- surdities. 4. The presentation of the Metric System, hitherto confined mainly to text-books on writ- ten Arithmetic. 5. The teaching of short methods and processes actually used in the counting-room. 6. The extension of mental calculations to more of the operations of every-day business life than has hitherto been attempted ; such as equation of payments, stock-jobbing, U. S. securities, taxes, duties, etc. The value of this last feature, it is believed, can hardly fail to be appreciated in this practical age. This work will contain all that is required for a thorough mastery of the theory and prac- tice of Arithmetic. It will be especially full and valuable in the higher branches of mercantile Arithmetic. In short, it will be really what its name imports. IV. Mental Arithmetic. 16mo. Pages 168. Price, 45 cents. 26 D. APPLET ON & COSS EDUCATIONAL WORKS. From J. W. Buxklet, Svperintendent of Schools in the City of Brooklyn. " After a careful and deliberate examination of the various Arithmetics by the Text-Book Com- mittee of the Brooklyn Board, more than a year ago, Quackenbos's Series was recommended by them in the strongest terms, and on their recom- mendation was adopted for the Common Schools of this city. It has been in exclusive use in all our schools for the last twelve months, and with the most gratifying results. Our teachers find it well graded, admirably arranged, peculiarly adapted to the class-room, and calculated to awaken thought and insure thorough mental discipline to the learner. "With all that is good in other series, Quack- enbos's Arithmetics combine several original and highly valuable features which will at once com- mend themselves to practical educators. Their methods are 6imple, natural, and excellent ; their rules and definitions, brief and clear ; their analy- ses, thorough and philosophical, without being tedious; their examples, numerous and varied. They have a more practical bearing than any other works on the subject, being in every respect up to the times, treating the important branches of Mer- cantile Arithmetic in the most exhaustive manner, and giving the pupil a preparation for the business of life which we have elsewhere sought in vain. "They meet our wants so entirely, that we should be very reluctant to change them for any other Series." From C. E. Wdllard, Principal of Public School, Hartford, Conn. "I have examined Quackenbos's Arithmetics, and can only express my unqualified approval of their plan and its execution. I find in them just what I haVe been looking for. As regards the Prac- tical, I am so much pleased with the whole book that it is difficult to select any prominent feature where all are so excellent, but I can mention two or three. First, the method of explaining every process clearly and concisely, and then embodying the explanation in a rule which is equally free from ambiguity and redundancy. Secondly, the admir- able arrangement of topics, and the bearing which each has upon those that follow. Thirdly, the am- ple preparation which is made for the study of Fractions before they are introduced, and the hap- py manner of treating them. lean think of nothing which Ivjould add to or take away from the book." David Copeland, President Hillsboro (Ohio) Fe- male College. " I consider Quackenbos's Practical Arithmetic superior to any similar work published in this country. The subjects are all treated in a superior manner.'" From Chester Holcombe, Principal Public School No. 11, Brooklyn. " It affords me much pleasure to be able to com- mend most heartily Quackenbos's series of Arith- metics. They have been in use, among the twelve hundred scholars of whom I am in charge, for the past three months, and thus I have had ample op- portunity to judge of their merits ; and I am con- fident there is in no other series of text-books on that subject an equal degree of excellence. "They are concise in definition, explanation, and rule ; are up to the times in Commercial Arith- metic (a thing which can be said of no other series), and possess ample means for making the pupil familiar with not only the science but the art of this most important branch of Mathematics. " In the Primary I have found an unequalled manual for object-teaching and am specially well pleased too with the prominence given to the Metric System of Weights and Measures in the higher editions." Sister M. Alfred, Superioress of St. Francis's School, Joliet, 111. "We have critically examined Quackenbos's Primary and Elementary Arithmetics, and pro- nounce them the most excellent works of the kind. We are now using them with entire satisfaction to both ourselves and our pupils. No other books than Quackenbos's shall henceforth be used in our schools." Santord W. Billings, Principal Stoughtonham Institute, Sharon, Mass. "I have used Quackenbos's Practical Arith- metic in my school for several terms past. It is just what it claims to he— practical. Free from verbosity and superfluity, principles are enunci- ated with clearness, and the examples for practice are numerous and valuable. The Committee have also introduced the series into the public schools, and universal satisfaction is the verdict rendered. As Acting Superintendent of Public Schools and as teacher, I regard this Series as superior to any thing I have ever before used." Although but a short time before the American public, these Arithmetics have met with most gratifying success. They are in use in a large number of the public schools of the country, among which we may mention New York, Brooklyn, Jersey City, Syracuse, Toledo, Oswego, Elmira, and Albany. 27 D.

Tliis is an eminently clear and practical text-book, embracing a variety of important sub- jects, which have a common connection, and mutually illustrate each other ; but which the pupil has heretofore been obliged to leave unlearned, or to search for among a number of different volumes. Claiming to give a comprehensive view of our language in all its relations, this " Advanced Course " views it as a whole, no less than with reference to the individual words composing it; shows how it compares with other tongues, modern and ancient; points out its beauties ; indicates how they may best be made available ; and, in a word, teaches the 6tudent the most philosophical method of digesting his thoughts, as well as the most effective mode of expressing them. It teaches Rhetoric not merely theoretically, like the old text-books, but practically, illus- hiiiing every point with Exercises to be prepared by the student. First Lessons in Composition,* 33 Y Gr. I?. QUACKENBOS, M. 12mo. 182 pages. Price 90 cents. This work is intended for beginners in Grammar and Composition, and should be placed in their hands at whatever age it may be deemed best for them to commence these branches — say from nine to twelve years. A series of simple lessons on the inductive system, accompanied with appropriate exercises, familiarizes the pupil with the different parts of speech, teaches him to punctuate intelligently, pleasantly initiates him into the synthesis of our language, enables iim to compose sentences of his own correctly and elegantly, and finally trains him thoroughly n the several departments of prose composition — letters, descriptions, narrations, biographical sketches, essays, and argumentative discourses. The above works have supplanted almost all others on the same subject. They are found lo work to admiration in the school-room, and to invest with lively interest a branch which is usually regarded as dry and repulsive. Hon. A. Constantine Barry, State Superin- tendent of the common schools of Wisconsin, in his last Annual Report to the Legislature of that State, uses the following strong language jx. relation to Mr. Quackenbos's system of teaching Composition : " A thorough knowledge of his own language is es- sential to every scholar. The true artificer must be able not only to take to pieces the work of others, but also to produce work of his own ; aud so the true scholar must know not only how to analyze or pa^se a given sentence, but how to put together or compose sentences for himself. To the perfect mastery of tha 28 D. APPLET ON & CO: 8 EDUCATIONAL WORKS. language, therefore, a course of Composition is as es- sential as a course of Grammar. I do not mean the mere production of essays on given subjects, which are generally as unprofitable as they are vexatious, and which without previous instruction it is unreasonable to expect any but natural geniuses to produce. I mean a regular system, which teaches the proper mode of producing such essays, points out the errors to be avoided, and makes an attractive as well as im- proving exercise of what is otherwise proverbially repulsive. Such a system is found in Quackenbos's ' First Lessons in Composition 1 and 1 Advanced Course of Composition and Rhetoric.'' " It would be difficult to point out in these admi- rable books any thing that we would desire to have altered ; they meet our wants in every respect, mak- ing no unreasonable draft on the time or patience of the teacher, and leaving him no excuse for neglect- ing to make Composition a regular study, even with his younger classes. It is unnecessary to compare these books with others on the subject, for there are none that approqch them in clearness, comprehen- siveness, excellence of arrangement, and, above all, in direct practical bearing. They stand alone in unfold- ing the principles of Composition in connection with those of Grammar, and furnish the best system of Punctuation with which we have met. Affording an insight into the mechanism of language, they will hardly fail to impart facility and grace of expression, and to inspire a love for the beauties of literature." From Prof. JonN N. Pratt, of the University of Alabama. " I have been using Quackenbos on Composition and Rhetoric in the instruction of my classes in the University, and I am persuaded of its great excel- lence. The First Lessons in Composition, by the same author, I regard as very useful for beginners. Of these two books I can speak with the greatest confidence, and I do most heartily recommend them to all with whom my opinion may have any weight." From ALPnEtrs A. Keex, A.M., Principal of Pomeroy Academy. " I have no hesitation in saying that it is the book for colleges and academies." From Caleb S. Hallowell, Principal of the High School. Alexandria. Va. • " "We have for some years been using for our primary classes the small work on English Composi- tion by Quackenbos, and have recently introduced the United States History and Rhetoric (the latter in place of Blair's large work), with both of which we are well pleased." From Geo. E. Noff, A. M., Pres. ofSoule Female Coll., Murfreesboro, Tenn. " Quackenbos's ' First Lessons in Composition,' and 1 Advanced Course of Composition and Rhetoric,' are the best school-books on these subjects that I have seen; I would not do without them for any reason- able consideration." From C. E. Brame, Principal Female Academy, Greensboro, Ala. " The Rhetoric and Composition can not be too highly commended. It is regarded by all my teachers as better suited to the wants of a female school than any other work yet published." From Thomas Lacy, Principal of Patuxent Academy, lid. " It is an excellent book, delightfully written— just the thing for advanced students." From C. W. Callender, Pres. Tenn. Female College, Franklin, Tenn. "Quackenbos's Rhetoric has no superior. In its arrangement and discussion of subjects, it meets the wants of the pupil and the wishes of the teacher. My classes study it with pleasure and profit." From Rev. J. O. CnuRcrr, D.D., Pres. Tenn. Confer- ence Fern. College, Columbia, Tenn. " Quackenbos's "Works on Composition and Rhet- oric I prefer to any other texts in that department." From Geo. S. Savage, Pres. of Jfillersburg Female College, Millersburg, Ky. u Mr. Quackenbos certainly possesses rare quali- fications as an author of school-books. His United States History, in my judgment, h as no equal, and his ' Composition and Rhetoric' is really indispen- sable. The best recommendation I can give them all, is to say they are text-books in our Female College." From Rev. R. II. Rivers, D.D., Pres. of Wesleyan University, Florence, Ala. " As elementary works, I cordially approve of all the text-books edited by G. P. Quackenbos." From Rev. A. L. Hamilton, D.D., Pres. of Clark-s- mile Fern. Academy, Clarksville, Tenn. "After a careful examination of Quackenbos's series of school-books, I consider it superior to all others upon the same subject." From the Rome Journal. " A handsome text-book, prepared by a competent teacher, an indefatigable and accomplished scholar, and an exceedingly pains-taking compiler." From the Southern Literary Messenger. "Professor Quackenbos is well known as the author of numerous works of high standing in the department to which the ' Course of Composition ' belongs. The present work is thorough in its treat- ment, and excellently arranged." 29 D. APPLETON & CO.'S EDUCATIONAL WORKS. An English Grammar/ 33y G-. P. QUACKENBOS, M. 12mo. 288 pages. Price 90 cents. Brief and clear in definition, lucid in arrangement, happy in illustration, practical in its exercises, full in its explanations, bold and ingenious in its treatment of difficulties, simple enough for the young, and sufficiently comprehensive for the more advanced, it is believed that it will meet every reasonable want. Interesting the pupil from the outset by an imme- diate practical application of every principle taught, it enables him to understand as well as learn, and imparts a thorough knowledge of the philosophy of our language with the least possible labor. Innovating, but only where innovation is necessary to produce a rational system, it makes some radical reforms, which carry conviction by their very simplicity and truthfulness. Special attention is asked to its simple system of analyzing sentence*, unen- cumbered with technical terms, and requiring no charts, diagrams, or elaborate preparation on the teachers part, to make it available. Those who are annoyed by errors, inconsisten- cies, or deficiencies in the Grammars they are now using, are solicited to examine this new work, the production of one who has made this subject the special study of his life. From Axsoy Smyth, School Commissioner for the State of Ohio. "I have repeatedly taken it up and examined test points ; and I have reached the conclusion that no letter work of the kiivl has come under my notice. In plan and execution it meets my hearty approval, and I cordially recommend it to all who are engaged in teaching." From Erastcs Everett, late Pres. College of X 0. "The Grammar which you have given us is by i'ar the best that has made its appearance, as a text- >ook for Common Schools and Academies. You have placed the whole Fraternity of Teachers un- der lasting obligations." From II. A. Dearborn', A. M., Princ. Clinton Lib- eral Institute, X. Y. " Quackenbos's English Grammar has been ex- amined from beginning to end, and I can freely say that I regard it as superior to any Grammar yet published ; indeed, I was prepared to receive it favorably from the well-known character of Mr. Quackenbos as an author." From P. H. Hctchinsox, Supt. of Softools, Wes- ton, Vt. "I am unbounded in my admiration of this book. It is par excellence the Grammar of Grammars.''' . From Rev. James Gii.mocr, Princ. Ballston Spa (X. Y. ) Academy. "It Is just what is wanted in the school-room. It Is both plain, practical, and interesting, and an improvement over all others with which I am ac- quainted." From Eev. Hf.nrt Branx, D. D.. Pres. Seton 71*11 College, & Orange, X. J. " I think it an excellent book ; not too large for an elementary work, yet sufficiently diffuse for even advanced students. The clearness of its explana- tions strikes me; and the exercises on False Syn- tax are better arranged and more instructive than those of any other Grammars that have fallen under my observation." From Eev. G. R. Moore, Pres. Lyons Female Col- lege, Lyons, Ioica. We like Quackenbos's English Grammar better than any heretofore submitted for examination in this institution, and shall be pleased to introduce it." From J. E. Gctt.vkr, Pres. Otterbein University.

A Natural Philosophy:" EMBRACING THE MOST RECENT DISCOVERIES IN THE VARIOUS BRANCHES OF PHYSICS, AND EXHIBITING THE APPLICATION OF SCIENTIFIC PRINCIPLES LN EVERY-DAY LIFE. BY G. P. QUACKENBOS, LL.D. 12mo. 450 pages. 335 EngTavings. Price $1.75. This book has just been carefully revised, and is an accurate exponent of the present state of science. It is distinguished, in a remarkable degree, — 1. For clearness, fulness of explanation, and an original method of dealing with diffi- culties. 2. For its correction of numerous errors heretofore current in school Philosophies. 3. For its explanation of scientific principles as they appear in every-day life, and the practical application of these principles in problems presented for the pupil's solution. 4. For its signal perspicuity of arrangement, every thing being presented in its proper place. 5. For the interest with which it invests the subject. From the outset the student is fascinated, and filled with the desire of fathoming the wonders of the material world. 6. For the embodiment of all recent discoveries. Instead of relying on the obsolete au- thorities that have furnished the matter for many of our popular school-books on this sub- ject, the author has acquainted himself with the present state of science, and thus produced such a book as is demanded by the progressive spirit of the age. Written by one of our most popular school-book authors, who admirably understands the art of adapting his instructions to the school-room, this work is acknowledged by the best educators in the land to be the book on Physical Science.

""We are using your Natural Philosophy in our school, and we find it superior to any work ice have ever used. "We have a class of forty young ladies, and we find it a pleasure to teach them with the aid of your admirable book." From Geo. A. Chase, Pres. of Brookville College, Brookville, Ind. " In my opinion, it comes more fully up to the standard of a first-class text-book on Natural Philos- ophy for High Schools and Academies than any other work with which I am acquainted. I have noticed, among other excellences, its thoroughness, accuracy, and its superior illustrations, adapting it, in a peculiar manner, to the use of schools without complete sets of apparatus." Quackenbos's Natural Philosophy, I have no hesita- tion in saying that, in my opinion, it is the best book on this subject with which I am acquainted. In ac- curacy, clearness, interest, and adaptation to the wants of schools, it surpasses all other similar works. Such a text-book makes learning easy and teaching a pleasure." From Tayler Lewis, LL.D., Prof of Greek, Union College, Schenectady, X. Y. "I am much pleased with your book on Natural Philosophy. It has that same clearness, elegance, and finish that characterize your other productions. Especially do I regard it as well adapted to interest young minds in the science it so beautifully pre- sents." From Rev. A. "W. CustMixcs, AM., D.D., Pres. of Eolston Conf.

"The Natural Philosophy of Mr. Quack en bos has been adopted by the Board of School Commissioners of this city, for use in all the Public Schools of the county. We regard it as far the best text-book on the subject now in use." From Isaiah Peckham, Principal of High School, Newark, N. J. "I am led to regard the work as a model of what a school-book should be. Its matter is well chosen, and its statements accurate ; but its chief excellences, as it appears to me, are the admirable clearness and simplicity of its style, and the familiarity of it* illus- trations. In these latter respects, none but a practi- cal teacher could have so well understood or so hap- pily met the wants of students." From A. IIakkness, Prof, of Latin, Brown Univer- sity, Providence, P. J. "I am pleased with Quackenbos's Natural Philoso- phy, and shall take pleasure in availing myself of every suitable opportunity to increaso its circula- tion." From Samuel Schooler, M. A., Principal of Edge Hill Sclwol, Va. "I have examined it carefully, and am satisfied which I am acquainted." From J. W. Bclklet, A. M., City Superintendent of Schools, Brooklyn. "The singular excellence of all Quackenbos'g school-books is well known to the educational com- munity. They are generally admitted to be the best manuals on the subjects of which they respectively treat The Philosophy is fully up to the rest. Whether jve regard matter or style, the selection of topics or the mode of developing the subject, accu- racy, freshness, Interest, or general availability in the recitation-room, it stands without an equal." From J. W. Eubt, President of Bethel Female Col- lege, Hopkinsville, Ky. "It is admirably adapted to the use of schools. Illustrated almost beyond the necessity of apparatus, original in its method of explanation, and compre- hending every thing essential to a course of elemen- tary instruction, it cannot fail to meet the wants of all who may wish either to acquire or impart a know l- edge of Natural Philosophy." From Kev. W. C. Duncan, D. D., late Prof of Latin and Greek in the Univ. of Louisiana, N. 0.

From Hon. Dayib N. Camp, Supt. of Common Schools for the State of Connecticut. " I have examined Quackenbos's Natural Philoso- phy with much interest and satisfaction.

APPLET ON & CO.'S EDUCATIONAL WORKS. Elementary History of the U. S. :* BY O. P. QUACKENBOS, LL.D. Beautifully Illustrated with Maps and Engravings. 12mo. 230 pages. Price 75 cents. In this little volume the Author has endeavored to present the history of our country so clearly and attractively that it may be studied with profit at a very early age. A perspicuous style, intelligible expressions, a natural arrangement, and short sentences embodying a single fact, will be found the chief characteristics of the work. Truthful anecdotes are interspersed throughout. The narrative has been brought down to the present Administration. To please the eye of the young, as well as awaken thought, numerous engravings, designed with strict regard to historic truth, and executed in the finest style of the art, have been introduced to illustrate the text. The form of a continuous narrative has been adopted, as preferable on the whole ; but questions bringing out every fact are presented at the end of each lesson, which may be used by the learner in preparing himself, and by the teacher at recitation. From Mif.on J. Hazeltixe, Principal of the Clin- ton Institute, N. Y. City. " During an experience of fifteen years in teaching, I can truly say that I have never met an elementary work on tne subject, so judiciously selected, eo pleas- antly arranged, and in all respects so completely adapted to the progress of the young pupil and the satisfaction of the teacher in actual practice, as this. Some writer has said, with equal truth and perti- nence, that ' Mr. Quackenbos's proper vocation seems to be the making of school-books.' That sentiment I fully endorse ; and when I say that this present treatise is a worthy companion of the elementary work on Composition by the same author, no higher praise can be proffered." From C. "W. Smythe, Principal of High School, Lexington, If. C. " Quackenbos's Primary History pleases me better than any other with which I am acquainted. I shall use it in my primary classes whenever they are ready for it." From JosEr-n L. Mabshall, Rector of the Henry Street Grammar School, 2T. Y. City. "Quackenbos's Primary History of the United States is duly installed as a text-book in our elemen- tary department. I am happy to state that I regard it as the best of its kind, both as to manner and mat- ter. The author has not made a cumbrous, tedious book ; he has not misrated the capacities and wants of those for whom it is intended ; but, with exquisite judgment, he has produced the work in a style, sim- ple, intelligible, and impressive — remarkably adapted to interest youthful minds.'' From Edward Coopee, Principal of the Female Institute, Brownsville, Tenn. " I am using all Mr. Quackenbos's works with the greatest satisfaction. His uniform accuracy and per- spicuity give him the pre-eminence in the very difficult sphere of making good text-books for schools. His work has been so well done that I do not hesitate to introduce the Primary History upon the strength of his name." Primary History of the United States* MADE EAST AND INTERESTING FOR BEGINNERS. BY G. P. QUACKENBOS, LL.D. Handsomely Illustrated Child's Quarto. 192 pages. Price 90 cents. This book is also beautifully illustrated and entertainingly written. The wants of Primary Schools have been particularly consulted in its preparation. It may be either used indepen- dently, or with young classes to precede the more extended course in the Author's " Illustrated School History of the United States." 3 33 V.

BY G. P. QUACKENBOS, LL. D. 12mo. 538 pages. Price $1.75. The author has aimed to he simple, that youth of lower as. well as advanced classes may understand him ; clear, that no indistinct or erroneous impressions may he conveyed ; accu- rate in the recital of facts ; and intereatiixj as regards both matter and style. Avoiding frag- mentary statements, he has gone into detail sufficiently to show events in their connections, convinced that a fairer idea of them is thus imparted, and that facts otherwise dry may in this way he made attractive and indelibly impressed on the mind. He has tried through- out to he fair and national. He has neither introduced offensive allusions, nor invidiously attempted to hias the minds of the young on controverted questions connected with politics or religion. The accounts of particular settlements, colonies, and sections are kept distinct, hut the order of events throughout the whole is, as far as possible, preserved. Brief hiographies of distinguished men add to the interest of the volume, hesides furnishing the pupil models of worth and patriotism. The pronunciation of all difficult and foreign names is given in brackets ; and appropriate illustrations have been liberally provided. Maps are as useful in history as in geography, and plans are often essential to the lucid delineation of military movements. Both are here presented wherever it was thought they would be of service. In elegance of style, accuracy, clearness, interest of narrative, richness of illustration, and adaptation to public and private schools of every grade, this History is pronounced by all who have examined it, far in advance of every similar work heretofore published. From Rev. Charles Reynolds, Hector of Trinity From J. D. II. Cokwine, Principal of Kentucky Liberal Institute. " I shall at once introduce it as the best work of the kind on this important branch of education. While it is peculiarly adapted as a text-book in schools, the general reader will find it the most comprehensive History of the country from the Aboriginal period down to the inauguration of Mr. Buchanan." From Prof. Silas Metcalfe, Principal of Ladies' Seminary, Brooklyn, N. T. "Your Ilistory requires nothing but circulation among persons of taste to secure its introduction uni- versally." From Wm. O. Rogers, SnpL Public Schools of ^ew Orleans, First District.

Resolution unanimously passed at a Convention of the Superintendents of Orange County, Vt. u Resolved, That we recommend Quackenbos's His- tory of the United States, as a book better calculated to create and promote an interest in the important study of history than any other History of the United States with which we are acquainted." From Prof. H. D. Lathrop, Gambier, Ohio. "It seems to me admirably adapted to the purpose intended. The style is simple and attractive, the nar- rative accurate and sufficiently minute, the illustra- tions appropriate and elegant, and the typographical execution all that could be desired." From Rev. Joseph Shackelford, Principal of In- stitute, Moulion, Ala. "I think it superior to many that I have examined as a school-book. I have been using Wilson's, but I think this is a much better book for schools." 34 D. APPLET ON & CO: 'S EDUCATIONAL WORKS, Elements of Astronomy.* ACCOMPANIED WITH NUMEROUS ILLUSTRATIONS, AND ARAGO'S CELESTIAL CHARTS OF THE NORTHERN AND THE SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE. BY J. NORMAN LOCKYER, FELLOW OF THE EOTAL ASTRONOMICAL SOCIETY, EDITOR OF "NATURE," ETC. AMERICAN EDITION, Revised, enlarged, and specially adapted to the wants of American Schools. 12mo. 312 pages. Price, $1.75. In issuing this text-book by one of the greatest living astronomers, revised and adapted to our schools by an eminent American teacher, the Publishers feel that they have done a service to the cause of science in this country. Too often, when scientific knowledge charac- terizes a text-book of this character, the style is heavy and the mode of presentation unin- telligible to the young learner ; and, on the other land, when the treatment is unobjectionable, there is sometimes a lack of scientific knowledge. In this text-book both these essentials are united in the happiest manner. The author's aim throughout the book has been to give a connected view of the whole subject rather than to discuss any particular parts of it, and to supply facts and ideas founded thereon, to serve as a basis for subsequent study. He grasps this fascinating science in its entireness, and reveals the wonderful secrets which man has wrested from the bosom of the heavens, with a straightforward clearness of statement and a felicity of illustration which reach the understanding and impress the memory. The arrangement adopted is new. The Sun's true place in the Cosmos is shown, and the real movements of the heavenly bodies are carefully distinguished from their apparent movements, which greatly aids in imparting a correct idea of the celestial sphere. Astronomy has made great strides within a few years past ; and Lockycr, who has him- self been the pioneer in many important researches, has incorporated in the present volume all recent discoveries. His book may therefore be regarded as accurately reflecting the pres- ent state of astronomical science. Spectrum-analysis and its remarkable results, the physical constitution of the sun and stars, the solar spots, nebulas, comets, and meteors, are fully dealt with in the light of recent developments. The new and correct figures obtained for masses, distances, etc., based on the recent determination of the solar parallax, are given. The mode of using both globe and telescope has been explained ; indeed, one great aim has been to render the volume as practical as possible — to make the student feel that he is dealing with realities, and that the heavenly bodies spread before him on the pages of his text-book are also spread out before him in the heavens, and invite his acquaintance. The fine STAR-MAPS OF ARAGO, showing the boundaries of the constellations and the princi- pal stars they contain, are appended to the volume. They answer every purpose of a large Celestial Atlas — without additional expense — this being the only text-book, as far as the Pub- lishers are aware, in which such an advantage is presented. For those who have neither globe nor telescope, plain practical directions are given for finding the leading constellations and the principal stars visible in the United States, at certain hours, on different days through- out the year. The illustrations of the book, some of which are from photographs and drawings by De La Rue, Guillemin, and various members of the Royal Astronomical Society, will speak for themselves. The text will by constant revision be made to keep pace with the progress of astronomical discovery. 35 V. APPLET ON <£* CO: 8 EDUCATIONAL WORKS. A Digest of English Grammar/ BY Li. T. OOVELL. 12mo. 219 pages. Price 90 cents. This work is designed as a text-book for the use of schools and academies ; it is the re- sult of long experience of an eminently successful teacher, and will be found to possess many peculiar advantages. The work is both synthetical and analytical, and its principles are strictly practical ; the different subjects are carefully separated and methodically arranged, so that all difficulty as to what belongs to Etymology, Syntax, and Analysis, is entirely removed, and the latter, which is very properly placed in the first part of Syntax, is rendered quite as simple and easy of comprehension as.the most plain portion of grammar. One subject is taken up at a time, and, when fully explained, models of Analysis are given, and examples for practice follow. The principles of the work are sound ; the definitions are direct, short, and accurate. The rules, though ample, are few, plain, and concise ; and the language throughout the work is simple, clear, and expressive. The method of treating the Elementary Sounds, is that which is now highly approved. The principles of Derivation, and of Orthographic Analysis, are brought within the com prehension of the youngest learner. At a regular meeting of the Board of Education of Rochester, held June 13, 1S53, the following reso- lution was unanimously adopted : "Resolved, That Covell's Digest of English Gram- mar be substituted for Wells' Grammar, as a textbook in the public schools of this city, to take effect at the commencement of the next school-year." From forty-four teachers of Public Schools, Pitts- burg, Pennsylvania. "The undersigned have examined Covell's Digest of English Grammar, and are of opinion that in the just- ness of its general views, the excellence of its style, the brevity, accuracy, and perspicuity of its definitions and rules, the numerous examples and illustrations, the adaptation of its synthetical exercises, the simplicity of its method of analysis, and in the plan of its arrange- ment, this work surpasses any other Grammar now before the public; and that in all respects it is most ad- mirably adapted to the use of schools and academies." From all the tea chers of Public Schools of the city of Alleghany, Pennsylvania, "We, the undersigned, teachers of Alleghany City, having carefully examined Mr. Covell's Digest of Eng- lish Grammar, and impartially compared it with other Grammars now in use, are fully satisfied that while it is in no respect inferior to others, it is in very many reapects much superior. While it possesses all that is necessary for the advanced student, and much that is not found in other Grammars, it is so simplified as to adapt it to the capacity of the youngest learner. We are confident that much time and labor will be saved, and greater improvement secured to our pupils in tho study of this science, by its introduction into our schools; hence we earnestly recommend to the boards of directors of this city its adoption as a uniform text- book upon this science, in the schools under their direction." Extracts from the Minutes of a regular meeting of the Board of Education of Troy, May 31, 1S53. " Mr. Jones, from committee on text-books, and school librarian, moved that Bullion's English Gram- mar be stricken from the list of text-books, and Covell's be substituted.— Passed." From Jonx M. Wolcott, A. M, Principal and Supt. of Ninth Ward School, Pittsburg, Pa. " Covell's Digest of English Grammar not only evin- ces the most unceasing labor, the most extensive re- search, the most unrelaxing effort, and the most devo- ted self-sacrificing study of its author, but it is the most complete, the most perfect, and, to me, the most satis- factory exposition of English Grammar that has come to my notice. It appears to me that every youth as- piring to become master of the English language, from the rudimental principles to the full, round, beautiful, faultless, perfect period, will make this volume his ' vade mecum." 1 " 36 D. APPLET ON & CO:S EDUCATIONAL WORKS. The History of the U. S. of America. FROM THE DISCOVERY OF THE CONTINENT TO THE CLOSE OF THE FIRST SESSION OF THE THIRTY-FIFTH CONGRESS, BY J. H. PATTON A.M. 8vo. 822 pages. 13 Steel Portraits (from Washington to Clay) Sheep, $5. without Portraits, Cloth, S3. Teachers in our Higher Academies and Seminaries have long felt the want of a History of the United States- adapted to the acquirements of their advanced pupils, male and female. Such pupils require more than is found in the ordinary school compendsto satisfy their minds, while they are not prepared to study, with profit, the more elaborate histories) extending to several volumes. A history of our country to interest that class of mind, must be specially attractive in style; clear in arrangement, though not formal; judicious in the selectiou of facts, as well as discriminating in tracing their direct influences ; dwelling at length on the great salient points of the history, that the pupil, as well as the general reader, may receive a vivid conception of the essential characteristics of the people, and of that wonderful moulding, which has given to our institutions— educational, religious, and political — their tone and spirit. From Charles Murray Nairne, M.A., Professor of Literature and Philosophy in Columbia Col- lege. " I have read with great pleasure and interest the •whole of the proof-sheets submitted to me, of Fat- ton's History of the United States. " At first I intended, as is usual in such cases, to peruse a passage here and there, in order to form a general opinion of the work ; but I found that the narrative was written with so much clearness, ele- gance, and vivacity, and interspersed with so much animated and tasteful description, that I read on without note of time, and regretted that I had not before me the whole, instead of a part of the volume. The work is intended for the library, and is far supe- rior in literary merit to any School History of the United States that I have seen ; but on account of its condensation and portable size, it would serve as an admirable manual for educational purposes. He would be a stupid scholar indeed, who would not study it as a delight rather than a mere task ; and besides the historical knowledge which it so pleas- antly imparts, it might be commended as a worthy example of unaffected, perspicuous, and energetic composition." From Rev. Dr. John J. Owen, Professor of Latin and Greek Languages and Literature in the Free Academy of the City of New York. " I have examined, with much attention, the nistory of the United States, by Mr. J. H. Patton, and am highly pleased with the evidence which it gives of extended and accurate research, and a strict adherence to historical verity. It has fulness of de- tail and incident, without beinsr overburdened with isolated and comparatively trivial facts and digres- sions. " It groups the great features of our national history — political, religious, educational — by such natural laws of association, that the reader passes from sub- ject to subject, and from chapter to chapter, without feeling himself burdened, or taxed to remember what he has read, or to place any incident in its proper position in the line of history. " The style is clear, lively, and vigorous, and the arrangement of the chapters and their length natural and judicious. I have no hesitation in expressing the opinion, that this history is better adapted to our higher schools and seminaries of learning than any which has yet been published, and most cordially recommend it to all such as wish to put a clear, truthful, and well-digested history of our country into the hands of youth in a process of education." From S. S. Randall, LL.D., Superintendent of Public Instruction in the City of New York. " I have perused with great interest and instruc- tion Patton's valuable ' History of the United States,' and cheerfully accord to it the highest commenda- tion in my power, as a perspicuous, accurate, and attractive compend of our national annals. Its phi- losophy is sound and well considered, its facts and incidents artistically grouped, its accuracy, so far as I know and believe, indubitable ; and its presenta- tion of those great moral and religious influences which have so powerfully moulded our national character and institutions, such as to enlist our warmest admiration and regard. I trust it may find a hearty acceptance and welcome in all our higher institutions of learning, and in every publio and private library.'' 37 D. APPLETON & CO:S EDUCATIONAL WORKS. Exposition OF TI1E Grammatical Structure of the English Language. BY JOHN MULLIGAN, A. M. Large 12mo. 574 pages. Price $2.00. This work is a complete system of English Grammar, embracing not only all that hai been developed by the later philologists, but also the results of years of study on the part of its author. One great advantage of this book is its admirable arrangement. Instead of proceeding at once to the dry details which are distasteful to the pupil, Mr. M. commences by viewing the sentence as a whole, analyzing it into its proper parts, and exhibiting their connection ; and, after having thus parsed the sentence logically, proceeds to consider the individual words which compose it, in all their grammatical relations. From Ret. Dr. James W. Alexander. ,( I thank you for tho opportunity of perusing your work on tho structure of tho English lan- guage. It strikes me as being one of the most val- uable contributions to this important branch of literature." From E. C. Benedict, Esq., President of the Board of Educatiori of the City of New York. " I have often thought our language needed some work in which the principles of grammatical science, philosophically considered, were developed and ap- plied to influence and control tho usus and consue- ludo of Iloraco and Quintilian, which seem to me to have been too often tho principal source of sole- cisms, irregularity and corruption. In this point of view, I consider your work a valuable and ap- propriate addition to tho works on the language." From Dr. IIorace Webster, President of the Free Academy, New York. "It is a work, in my opinion, of great merit, and well calculated to impart a thorough and critical knowledge of the grammar of the English lan- guage. No earnest student can fail to profit by its Btudy." Dictionary of the English Language.* BY ALEXANDER REID, A.M. 12mo. 572 pages. $1.25. This work, which is designed for schools, has been compiled with direct reference to their wants, by a teacher of experience, judgment, and scholarship. It contains, in small compass and the most convenient form, the Pronunciation and Definitions of all English words authorized by good usage ; a full Vocabulary of Foreign Roots ; an accented list of Greek, Latin, and Scripture Proper Names ; and an Appendix, showing the pronunciation of nearly three thousand of the most important Geographical Names. It is philosophical in its arrangement, grouping derivatives under their primitives, and gives the root of every word in the language, thus affording a clear insight into comparative philology. Either as a work of reference, or a text-book for daily study, this Dictionary will be found to possess important advantages over all others. Some of our best scholars commend it in the strongest terms : among whom may be mentioned Rev. Dr. Henry, late of N. Y. Univ. ; D. M. Reese, formerly Supt. of Schools of N. Y. ; and the late Bishop Wainwright. Prof. Frost, of Phila., pronounces the plan excellent. Rev. M. P. Parks, late Prof. JJ. S.

The publishers have now the pleasure of presenting the abridgments of Webster's Amer- ican Dictionary in a carefully revised, greatly improved, and, as nearly as possible, per fected form. The Series is rendered complete, and made to include a book just suited to every purpose for which an abridgment of the complete work can be desired, by the intro- duction of two new books, viz. , the Common-School Dictionary, intermediate between the Primary-School and the High-School, and the Counting-House and Family Dictionary, a much more full and comprehensive abridgment than we have before offered. The other books in the Series have also been most carefully revised, and the new abridgments pre- pared, by and under the direction of Prof.-C. A. Goodrich and Mr. Wm. G. Webster, with assistance from other most competent sources, no pains having been spared to remove any. however slight, grounds for reasonable objection which may have existed to the books in the old form, and to render them as nearly perfect as possible, and yet more worthy the high position they occupy as the standard Dictionaries of the English language, — proved to be such by a sale many times greater than that of all other Dictionaries published in America combined, and acknowledged such by our courts of justice, as well as the people at large. The old stereotype plates, having been much worn by the immense numbers of books printed from them, the occasion has been embraced to make the very thorough revision and improvement now completed. All the books in the Series are now printed, there- fore, on entirely new electrotype plates, and are uniform in definitions, orthography, orthoepy, &c. It is deemed unnecessary to enlarge upon the claims of these well-known standard works. Literally, thousands of testimonials to their superiority to all others are in the hands of the publishers, from the most eminent educational and literary men in all parts of the country. From year to year their sale is steadily and rapidly increasing. It is believed that the mere increase in the sale of these abridgments the present year, will be greater than th« entire combined sale of all other American Dictionaries. 30 THE STANDARD DICTIOX. 1 R V OF THE L.

From Elihu Burri-it. * Webster's great Dictionary may be regarded as bearing the same relation to the English language, which Newton's Principia does to the sublime sci- ence of natural philosophy."

No student, as it appears to us, has access to the needful resources for understanding or using our native tongue, who does not keep this vast and rich repository of philological labor and learning at his side. Its definitions — now almost universally ac- knowledged to be unrivaled for completeness, accuracy, and the avoidance of mere synonyms — together with some of its other features, render it indispensable in every library and at every writing-desk." From Prof. Phelps, Theological Sem'y, Andover. " His work fills a place in our literature which is oc- cupied by no other. No professional man can afford to dispense with it if he aims at sound scholarship in his knowledge of the English tongue." From President Hopkins, Williams College. " There is no American scholar who does not feel proud of the labors of Dr. Webster, as the pioneer of "exicography on this continent, and who will not readily admit the great and distinctive merits of his Dictionary." 40 From N. P. Willis. "Webster's Dictionary has been my sole authority so long, that to be asked my opinion of it seems like being questioned as to my preference of my own coun- try to any other. He who was the fountain of classic taste when you and I were in college together, Prof. Goodrich, gave it to us as our gospel of philology, and, for the thirty years that have since elapsed. I have grown to believe more and more in both Prof. Good- rich and Webster's Dictionary. 44 It is one of the Washington-sized glories of our country that such a life-work as that Dictionary should have been done among us. It has gathered the brokea columns of the other philologistic temples of our lan- guage, and built them into an American Parthenon We should nationally be proud of it— as, indeed, there ia no denying that we are, I believe — and our colleges, lit- erary institutions, and schools should, with grateful una- nimity, avow their honor for it, adopt and cherish it. - * From John G.

"Of the book itself I hear but one opinion from all around me, and do but echo the universal voice in ex- pressing my approval of its great worth, and my belie! that it has rendered any further research, or even im- provement in our time, unnecessary in its department of instruction." From JonN G. Saxe. " I am one of those who have always been proud of Mr. Webster as a learned philologist. By his labors as a lexicographer, he has done more than all our writers to give character and nationality to American literature. In no respect can his Dictionary be regarded as deficient, while in the department of Etymology — the only part of a lexicon requiring great labor and profound erudi- tion — he is, by common confession of scholars, without a rival either in this country or in Europe."

APPLE TON & CO.'S EDUCATIONAL WORKS. The New Class-Book of Chemistry.* BY EDWARD L. YOUMANS, M. D. 12mo. 400 pages. Price SI. 75. It is some ten years since Dr. Youmans' " Class-Book of Chemistry " was first published. It has passed through upwards of fifty Editions, and has been received everywhere with general favor. The progress of chemical science during these ten years has been so great as to demand many changes and additions. The present work, embracing as it does much matter never before published in a class-book, may more properly be regarded as a nezo work than as a revision of the author's original volume. The attention of Educators is invited to several important claims which the new work presents to their favorable con- sideration. L In the present state of remarkable intellectual activity, the advancement of ecientific thought is most marvellous ; new discoveries crowd upon each other, while old facts are constantly assuming new relations and new significances. While in the Classical, Mathematical, and Literary branches, everything is established, in Science all is moving. This is especially the case in Chemistry, so that a book, however faithfully it may represent the state of knowledge at the time of its publication, quickly becomes obsolete, and therefore requires frequent and thorough revision. The new Class-Book affords an interesting illustration of the progress made in a single decade. 2. The department of 1 Chemical rhysics,' em- bracing Heat, Light, Electricity, and the Molecular forces, which was omitted in the old Class-Book, is presented with much fullness. This subject has lately assumed a high interest from the general acceptance in the scientific world of the new views of the connections of the forces. The recognition and adoption of the great law of the ' Correlation of the Forces ' marks the present as a most impor- tant era in the progress of science, and the new views are first put into popular shape for the use of schools in Dr. Youmans' work. 3. Various other subjects have come forward so recently that they are treated in none of our school test-books. Among these may be mentioned the wonderful Spectrum Analysis which has enriched Chemistry with a new and extraordinary method of investigation by which three new elements have already been discovered. Graham's interesting discoveries on the new colloidal condition of mat- ter, and Berthelot's remarkable achievements in the artificial production of organic compounds, constitute great steps of progress in these de- partments, and will be found fully noticed in the new volume. Many of the views put forth by the Author in his Lectures on the Chemis- 41 try of the Sunbeam, are also incorporated in the work. 4. The author's aim has been to prepare a book suited to the general purposes of education. "With- out being intended as a laboratory manual it will be copiously illustrated with designs Qf apparatus and simple experiments adapted to illustrate the gene- ral principles of the science. As the great mass of students will never become practical or professed Chemists, the work is restricted to the treatment of those aspects and applications of the subject which bear most directly upon the experiences of common life, and a knowledge of which is now essential to a good education. 5. The volume is in a 6tyle at once lucid, close, and forcible. Avoiding that excess of technicality by which books on Chemistry are too commonly embarrassed, and avoiding with equal care the puerilities of over-diluted 'popular science,' the author makes a clear, compact, and forcible state- ment of the facts and principles of his subject. While matured minds will read it with ease and pleasure, it is nevertheless prepared for purposes of education, and pupils will have to study. An- other feature of the work deserves careful notice. The writer has continually striven to carry the mind of the pupil upward to those larger and nobler views of scientific truth in the wonderful scheme of nature which are more and more clearly revealed by the advance of inquiry. Chemistry is not now what it was a few years ago — a mere mat- ter of acids and alkalies, colored fires and gas ex- plosions, beginning and ending in the lecture-room. It is an unfolding of the great laws of nature around and within us, and has a scope of application little suspected in times past. It is linked to the whole circle of the sciences ; and the tracing the connec- tions of Providential thought expressed in nature is eminently fitted not only to expand and fire the intellect, but to touch and awaken the best feelinga of the heart. D. APPLET ON & CO: 8 EDUCA CIONA I WORKS. Chemical Chart. BY E. Li. YOUMANS, M.D. On Rollers, 5 feet by 6 in size. New Edition. Price $3. This popular work accomplishes for the first time, for Chemistry, what maps and chart* have for geography, geology, and astronomy, hy presenting a new and valuable method of illustration. Its plan is to represent chemical composition to the eye hy colored diagrams, go that numerous facts of proportion, structure, and relation, which are the most difficult in the science, are presented to the mind through the medium of the eye, and may thus be easily acquired and long retained. The want of such a Chart has long been felt by the thoughtful teacher, and no other scientific publication that has ever emanated from tho American press has met with the universal favor that has been accorded to this Chart. In the language of a distinguished chemist, "its appearance marks an era in the progress of the popularization of Chemistry." It illustrates the nature of elements, compounds, affinity, definite and multiple propor- tions, acids, bases, salts, the salt-radical theory, double decomposition, deoxidation, com- bustion and illumination, isomerism, compound radicals, and the composition of the proximate principles of food. It covers the whole field of Agricultural Chemistry, and is invaluable as an aid to public lecturers, to teachers in class-room recitation, and for refer- ence in the family. The mode of using it is explained in the class-book. From Jas. E. Chilton, M. D., Chemist. " I have examined the Chemical Chart of Mr. E. L. foumans, and am much pleased to say that is a valu- able means of readily imparting a correct knowledge of the nature of chemical combinations. A variety of compounds are dissected, so as to show at a glance their ultimate atomic constitution, in such a way as to im- press it more forcibly upon the mind than could be effected by any other method with which I am ac- quainted." From Dr. Thomas Antisell, Professor of Chemistry in the Vermont Medical College. "Mr. Youmans' Chart is got up in a style which renders it a neat appendage to the lecture-room, and wherever Chemistry is taught in schools and public institutions, it will be found an invaluable assistant to both teacher and pupil." From Horace Mann, President of Antioch College. "I think Mr. Youmans is entitled to great credit for the preparation of his Chart, because its use will not only facilitate acquisition, but, what is of far greater importance, will increase the exactness and precision of the student's elementary ideas." From Dr. John W. Draper, Professor of Chemistry in the University of New York. " Mr. Youmans' Chart seems to me well adapted to communicate to beginners a knowledge of the definite combinations of chemical substances, and as prelimi- nary to the use of symbols, to aid them very much in -ecollecting the examples it contains. It deserves to be introduced into the schools." From James B. Rogers, Professor of Cliemixtry in the University of Pennsylvania.

First Book of Botany/ DESIGNED TO CULTIVATE TUE OBSERVING POWERS OF CHILDREN. BY ELIZA A. YOUMANS. Price, $1.25. This little book has a twofold claim upon those concerned in the work of education : 1. It introduces the beginner to the study of Botany in the only way it can be properly done — by the direct observation of vegetable forms. 2. It is designed to keep the mind in direct intercourse with the objects and order of Nature, and to train the observing powers and the mental operations they involve in a sys- tematic way. There are no lessons to " commit and recite." The pupil commences with actual speci- mens of plants which every one is able to collect, and learns to look with his own eyes and think with his own mind. Children can begin to study plants successfully by this method as soon as they can write, and any teacher, without previous knowledge of the subject, can conduct them through the exercises without difficulty. Every true teacher will hail this new work with delight Analytical Class-Book of Botany/ BY FRANCES H. GREEN. PART I.— ELEMENTS OF VEGETABLE STRUCTURE AND PHYSIOLOGY.

Sir Charles Lyell is the greatest of living geologists* In the work here offered to the public, are embodied such results of his observation and research as bear on the modern changes in the earth's structure and the organic and inorganic kingdoms of nature. The subject possesses great interest, not only for the scientific, but for all intelligent readers ; and the author has made the most of it. Wielding a lucid and often eloquent pen, pre- senting his facts in a striking form, and establishing his theories by incontestible reasoning, he may justly be said to have exhausted the subject and left nothing further to be desired. Not the least valuable part of the volume is a preliminary historical sketch of the prog- ress of the science. A carefully constructed Glossary of geological terms is appended for the benefit of the student ; and facility of reference is insured by the addition of a copious Alphabetical Index. From the Boston Traveller. "It will only be necessary to announce this new and handsome edition of Lyell's standard work on Geology, to induce all lovers of this most interesting and instruc- tive science to secure a copy of the work, if possible; for every successive edition of such a work has a value which none of its predecessors had, inasmuch as new discoveries are being constantly made by the activo author, and other distinguished geologists which illus- trate topics discussed in the work." Elements of Geology. BY SIR CHARLES LYELL, M. A., F. R, S. 1 vol. 8vo. 685 pages. Price $3.50. This work, by the same distinguished author as the above, treats of the ancient changes of the earth and its inhabitants, as illustrated by geological monuments. It relates to a different branch of the subject from the treatise above mentioned, and, taken in connection with it, completely illumines the dark ages of our planet's early history, and exhibits the convulsions and revolutions that have successively taken place on its surface. The present is a reprint of the sixth London edition, and contains the latest emendations and additions of its author, as well as the discoveries of other men of science. No expense of illustration has been spared in its production ; wood-cuts to the number of 750 embellish its pages, and insure a thorough comprehension of the subject. Seminaries of learning can find no fuller or more satisfactory course on Geology than that embraced in these two works by Sir Charles Lyell. From the Charleston Mercury. "There is no branch of natural science where there Is a more quickly recurring necessity for new editions of elementary books, than Geology. It is itself but the germ of a science, daily gathering fresh facts and ex- tending its jurisdiction over new fields of observation. What was a satisfactory account of its discoveries a few fear? ago, is now obsolete. And among the scholars and observers who have done most to advance the science, and are most competent to elucidate its present condition, is the author of the volume before us." From the American Educator. "As it now stands, it may justly be regarded as the. most valuable work extant on this branch of Lb subject." 47 D. APPLETON & CO:S' EDUCATIONAL WORKS.

This is the first and only work published in this country or in Europe devoted exclu- sively to keeping books in Banks and Joint-stock Companies. It is believed that the Marsh Series of Works on Book-keeping possess the following peculiar and valid claims to the consideration of teachers : — 1. They are •omplete and original works. 2. They present a new theory of the science, dispensing with numerous rules and divisions, and substituting an original and truly practical rule — called the "Infallible Rule." 3. They are so arranged as to furnish regular courses of practice for the pupil. 4. The explanations contained in the works attend on, follow, and direct, all the entries and operations con- nected with a set of books. 5. These works embrace a better routine of business than any heretofore published. 6. They are printed in colors, in order to show the balancing entries, lines, etc., in red, as in common prao- tlce in the counting-room. 7. They are got up in a style far superior to any other works on this science in the world. The strongest indorsement of these works have been received from accountants, teachers, md the press, in America and England. No. II. is republished and extensively used in England. 48 D.

The design of this work is to present, in a condensed form, those legal principles which are of the most common use in the various transactions of business ; thereby supplying an educational want, which is becoming more and more imperative, as the modes and rela- tion of business grow more complex, intricate and extended. The forms appended are with a view both to illustrate, and to serve the common pur- poses of business. To secure both these objects, a careful selection has been made of a few deemed the best adapted to answer the purpose of the one, and meet the wants of the other. Education. INTELLECTUAL, MORAL, AND PHYSICAL BY HERBERT SPENCER, AtTTHOB OF "SOCIAL STATICS, 1 ' " THE PRINCIPLES OF PSYCHOLOGY," AND " ESSAYS : SCIENTIFIC, POLITICAL, AND SPECULATIVE." From the N. Y. Teacher. This work originally appeared in four Essays, in the British Reviews. They are first collected and published in book form in this country. The book marks an era in the discussion of education. We deem it of so much importance as to deserve something like a review in a future number. In the mean time, we commend it to the attention of all who wish to see the subject discussed in a profound and philosophical manner. The work is advertised in the present number. "We are happy to learn that the author's more elaborate works are about to be is- sued by subscription, in a serial form. The publish- ers of the present book will receive subscriptions, in this country, and have already the names of our leading scholars and authors. 12mo. 283 pp. $1.25. From the Mass. Teacher. Herbert Spencer is an English philosopher, whose writings evince a great deal of depth, originality, and congeniality; but are little known in this country. Messrs. D. Appleton & Co. deserve, and will receive, the warmest thanks of our best teachers for offering them the contents of this volume, as a New Year's present. If circumstances permit, some selections from it will be given in one of our next numbers. The author proposes to issue, in periodical parts, a connected series of works which he has, for several years, been preparing. A number of the most dis- tinguished scholars and professors in England, France, and the United States, have already sub- scribed, but the list proves still insufficient to cover the expenses of the undertaking. 49 1). APPLET ON c£ CO} 8 EDUCATIONAL WORKS. Hand-Books of the English Language. BY A LITERARY ASSOCIATION. A HAND-BOOK OF ANGLO-SAXON ROOT-WORDS. 12rao. Trice $1.00. A HAND-BOOK OF ANGLO-SAXON DERIVATIVES. 12nio. Price $1.25. A HAND-BOOK OF THE ENGRAFTED WORDS OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE. 12mo. Price $1.60. The following statement will enable the reader to see at once the merits and peculiarities of the Hand-Books : The English language consists of some eighty thousand words, drawn from five principal sources — namely, from the Anglo-Saxon, Celtic, Gothic, French, and Latin and Greek, or Classic languages. Twenty-three thousand of these words are from the Anglo-Saxon. The whole twenty-three thousand words may he traced hack to one thousand root-words. The twenty-two thousand have been formed by adding one or more root-words, or parts of them, together. There are now of these twenty-three thousand Anglo-Saxon words, only some six or seven thousand in good use. The remaining fifty-seven thousand words of the language may also be traced back to a few thousand root-words in the languages from which they have been borrowed. Every child should be early taught the whole six or seven thousand choice Anglo-Saxon words, because they are those continually used in the various occupations of life. Few scholars can use more than six thousand of the words drawn from Celtic, Gothic, French, and Classic sources. But there is no reason why every pupil in our public schools should not be able also to use them. Indeed, the three Hand-Books are so arranged that the six thousand choice Anglo-Saxon words, and the six thousand choice words from other sources, may be acquired easily in one year. But to teach the English language successfully, the teacher should have clearly before his own mind its origin, grouih, elements, or sources of formation, grammatical structure, genera\ history, and literature. The following synopsis throws light upon the Eng- | lish language : I. Its origin. In 450 after Christ, the Angles and Saxons introduced into Great Britain the Anglo-Saxon language, which is the mother tongue of the present English. II. Its growth. The root-words of the Anglo-Saxon, which are few, have grown into twenty-three thousand by the use of some eighteen prefixes and twenty-five suffixes. Six or seven thousand only of these are now in good use. Again, some fifty-seven thousand words have been introduced into it from several sources, but chiefly from the Celtic, Gothic, French, and Classic tongues. It embraces, in all some eighty thousand words. III. Its periods of growth About 450 B. C, the Anglo-Saxon words were introduced into Britain ; prior to 600, many Celtic words ; before the end of the ninth century, many Gothic words; and rat 106G, French words were intermixed; and since the revival of let- ters, in the fifteenth century, a large number of Greek *nd Latin words have been incorporated with it. IV. .Its grammatical laics and history. The An- 5 [ glo-Saxon or root element, not only modified the wordi from the other languages, but gave them its own. laics. Hence the grammar of the English language should b« built on the Anglo-Saxon basis, and not on the basis erf the Celtic, Gothic, French, or Latin and Greek. V. Its literature. English literature docs not date back more than some six centuries. Nay, all that if really valuable has been produced during the last three hundred years. The Haxd-Book ok Anglo-Saxon "Words gives 1,000 Anglo-Saxon root-words, with their primary and secondary meaning, and teaches the use of them. The Hand-Book of Anglo-Saxon Derivative Words. It explains the meaning of the prefixes, suf- fixes, and terminations which change the 1,000 root- words into derivatives. It gives some 7,000 of the choicest of the 23,000 words of Anglo-Sason origin, with their meanings and use. The Hand-Book of the Engrafted Words of th* English Language gives 7,000 of the best words from the Celtic, Gothic, French, and Classic tongues, with their meanings and use. D.

Vol. IV. consists of their translation into Spanish, by Prof. S. Camacho. Vol. V. consists of their translation into Italian, by Dr. V. Botta. As the title indicates, each volume is a Reader by itself, as well as a Key to any other. By this aid the student is enabled to compare carefully the different forms of construction of any of the above-named languages, word for word, sentence for sentence, and to inves- tigate in their most minute details the various shades of difference and resemblance of such as are known to him and those to be learned. The impressions which he thus receives, through the eye, of the correctly written expressions, in contrast with the errors to which he is liable, are more deeply engraved in his mind than if he had, through the ear, ob- tained the same information from his instructor. He can correct what is faulty, by the aid of an unerring standard ; he receives, in fact, a lesson from either the author or the trans- lator himself, and thus attains a critical knowledge of the foreign language, and, what is better still, of his own, by a method which is sure, easy, and universal in its application. An "Essay on the Study of Languages," with which the English part (Vol. I.) is pre- faced, is generally conceded to be the most complete treatise published on the subject.

MODERN HISTORY, Separately, 312 pages, $1.50. Containing the Rise and Progress of the principal European Nations, their Political His- tory, and the changes in their Social Condition ; with a History of the Colonies founded by Europeans. Inquiry is often made by those who have not the time or opportunity for an extended course of historical reading, for a work that embraces within reasonable compass the lead ing events of Ancient and Modern History, and will give them a correct idea of its leading features stripped of unimportant details. Such a work will be found in this compilation of Dr. Taylor. With the view of bringing a general knowledge of the past within the reach of all classes of readers, he has selected the great facts connected with the rise and progress of nations, their customs, religion, and political institutions, and carefully digested them in a clear and comprehensive summary. For the purposes for which it is designed, it is believed that this work has no equal. It is this conviction on the part of those who have examined it, that has led to its extensive introduction as a text-book into the academies and colleges of our land. Some of its dis- tinguishing features are mentioned below. In presenting facts, the author has not overlooked the philosophy of history, but has traced events to their causes, and directed attention to the progress of civilization and its effects on society. Thus exhibited in their connection, as parts of the great plan of Provi- dence in the government of the world, events are understood as well as remembered, and the reader receives a no less valuable lesson in philosophy than in history. A knowledge of its climate, natural features, towns and cities, is often essential to the proper understanding of a country's history. To meet this want, a brief geographical out- lihe is in every case prefixed. The accentuation of proper names, as they occur, is another feature of great practical value. The arrangement (always a thing of prime importance in works of this kind) has been carefully studied. The histories of separate countries are presented separately ; but chro- nological sequence is observed as far as possible, by arranging them in the order in whicn they attained a commanding influence in the world. It may be added that the annals of minor States, overlooked by most writers, receive due attention from Dr. Taylor, who may thus justly claim superior completeness. Dryness is generally characteristic of condensed historical outlines ; in the present case it is avoided by the vigorous style of the author, and the introduction of interesting anecdotes and episodes that serve to relieve the mind, and bring out in. clear light the peculiarities of individual or national character. The American edition has been revised throughout by Dr. Henry, and enlarged by tho introduction of an admirable chapter on American History. 68 JD. APPLET OK it CO:S EDUCATIONAL WORKS. A DIGEST OF THE LAWS, CUSTOMS, MANNERS, AND INSTITUTIONS OF THE Ancient and Modern Nations. BY THOMAS DEW, LATE PRESIDENT OF THE COLLEGE OF WILLIAM AND MARY. 8vo. 662 pages. Price $2.50. On examination, it will be found that more than ordinary labor has been expended upon this work, and that the author has proceeded upon higher principles and has had higher aims in view than historical compilers ordinarily propose to themselves. Instead of being % mere catalogue of events, chronologically arranged, it is a careful, laborious, and instruc- tive digest of the laws, customs, manners, institutions, and civilization of Ancient and Modern Nations. That it is thus enabled to give a clearer and fairer idea of the past and its relations to the present, does not admit of a moment's doubt. No pains have been spared by the author to secure accuracy in facts and figures ; and in doubtful cases references are given in parentheses, so that the student can readily satisfy himself by going to original sources. The department of Modern History, too often neg- lected in works of this kind, has received special care and attention. For a digest of history prepared on these principles, it is believed that a demand exists in our schools and colleges, and it was to meet this demand that the present volume was presented to the public. The teacher will find in it a desirable substitute for many of the text-books now in use ; the historical lecturer, a superior manual to be placed in the stu- dent's hands as a companion and basis for his lectures ; and the general reader, a compre- hensive, accurate, and interesting compilation. From John J. Owen, Prof, in N". T. Free Academy. " I have examined, 'with much pleasure, Prof. Dew's Digest of the Laws, Manners, Customs, &c.,of Ancient and Modern Nations. It furnishes a desideratum in the study of history which I have long desired to see. The manner in which history is generally studied in our institutions of learning is, in my judgment, very defective. The great central points or epochs of history are not made to stand out with sufficient prominence. Events of minor importance are made to embarrass the memory by the confused method of their presentation to the mind. History is studied by pages, and not by subjects. In the wilderness of events through which the student is groping his way, he soon becomes lost and perplexed. The past is as obscure as the future His lesson soon becomes an irksome task. The mem- ory is wearied with the monotonous task of striving to retain the multitudinous events of each daily lesson. " This evil appears to be remedied in a great degree by Prof. Dew's admirable arrangement. Around the great points of history he has grouped those of subor- dinate importance. Each section is introduced by a caption, in which the subject is briefly stated, and so as to be easily remembered. Thus the student having mastered the leading events, will find little or no diffi- culty in treasuring up the minor points in their order and connection. I trust the book will be adopted in our higher institutions of learning. I greatly prefer it to any history for the use of schools which I have seen " History of Civilization in Europe. BY M.

Arnold's Classical Scries has attained a circulation almost unparalleled, having heen in- troduced into nearly all the leading educational institutions in the United States. The secret of this success is, that the author has hit upon the true system of teaching the an- cient languages.

The reason of this is, that every thing has a practical hearing, and a principle is no sooner learned than it is applied. The pupil is at once set to work on exercises. The Prose Composition forms an excellent sequel to the above work, or may be used with any other course. It teaches the art of writing Latin more correctly and thoroughly, more easily and pleasantly, than any other work. In its pages Latin synonymes are carefully illustrated, differences of idiom noted, cautions as to common errors impressed on the mind, and every help afforded towards attaining a pure and flowing Latin style. From the Rev. Seth Davis, Home, W. Y. "Arnold's Lessons in Latin I find unsurpassed; and if the Greek Lessons by the same author shall prove as useful, they will form the commencement of a new era in the study of the classics in this country." From N. Wheeler, Prime. Worcester Co. High School. "In the skill with which he sets forth the idiomatic peculiarities, as well as in the directness and simpli- city with which he states the facts of the ancient lan- guages, Mr. Arnold has no superior. I know of no books so admirably adapted to awaken an interest in the study of language, or so well fitted to lay the foun- dation of a correct scholarship and refined taste." From A. B. Exjssell, Oakland High ScJiool. " The style in which the books are got up is not their only recommendation. "With thorough instruction on the part of the teacher using these books as text-books, [ am confident a much more ample return for the time jnd labor bestowed by our youth upon Latin must be Becured. The time certainly has come when an ad- i vance must be made upon the old methods of instruc- j tion. I am glad to have a work that promises so many ; advantages as Arnold', co begin." First and Second Latin Book Extract from a Report of an Examination ofths Parochial School of St. Pauls Church, Pome, X. Y. ""Were we to single out any part of the examination as worthy of special notice, it would be that upon 'Arnold's First Book in Latin.' Many an academician who has studied Latin in the ordinary way for two years, could not sustain an examination as did the lads of this class, who have studied Arnold's First Lesson3 only about six months. Arnold's method is admira- ble for making thorough scholars and accurate gram- marians." From C. M. Blake. Classical Teacher, PhVad. "I am much pleased with Arnold's Latin Books. A class of my older boys have just finished the First and Second Books. They had studied Latin for a long time before, but never understood it, they say, as they do now." From L Booth, Supt. of Union School, Bucyrus, 0. "Perhaps the most satisfactory recommendation 1 can give of Arnold's Classical Series is, that, after using the Series for nearly two years, I shall continue to use it, ii preference to all other books with which I am acquainted professing to fill the same space in a classi- cal education."

TYLER, PROFESSOR OF THE GREEK AN"D LATLV LANGUAGES EN' AMHERST COLLEGE. 12mo. 193 pages. Price $1.25. Tacitus's account of Germany and Life of Agricola are among the most fascinating and in- structive Latin classics. The present edition has been prepared expressly for college classes, by one who knows what they need. It will be found — 1. A Latin text, approved by all the more recent editors. 2. A copious illustration of the grammatical constructions, as well as of the rhetorical and poetical usages peculiar to Tacitus. In a writer so concise, it has been deemed necessary to pay particular regard to the connection of thought, and to the particles as the hinges of that connection. 3. Constant comparisons of the writer with the authors of the Augustan age, for the purpose of indicating the changes which had already been wrought in the language of the Roman people. 4. An embodiment in small compass of the most valu- able labors of such recent German critics as Grimm, Gunther, Gruber, Kiessling, Dronke, Roth, Ruperti, and Walther. i ^ i i m The Histories of Tacitus. WITH XOTES, FOR COLLEGES. B Y W. S. TYLER. 12mo. 453 pages. Price $1.75. The text of Tacitus is here presented in a form as correct as a comparison of the best editions can make it. Xotes are appended for the student's use, which contain not only the grammatical, but likewise all the geographical, archaeological, and historical illustrations that are necessary to render the author intelligible. It has been the constant aim of the editor to carry students beyond the dry details of grammar and lexicography, and introduce them into a familier acquaintance and lively sympathy with the author and his times. In- dexes to the notes, and to the names of persons and places, render reference easy. The Works of Horace. WITH ENGLISH XOTES, FOR THE USE OF SCHOOLS AXD COLLEGES. BY J. L. LINCOLN, PROFESSOR OF THE LATIN LANGUAGE AXD LITERATURE IN BROWN UXIVEESITT. 12mo. 575 pages, Price $1.75. The text of this edition is mainly that of Orelli, the most important readings of other critics being given in foot-notes. The volume is introduced by a biographical sketch of Horace and a critique on his writings, which enable the student to enter intelligently on his work. Peculiar grammatical constructions, as well as geographical and historical allusions, are explained in notes, which are just full enough to aid the pupil, to excite him to gain a thorough understanding of the author, and awaken in him a taste for philological studies, without taking all labor off his hands. 71 D. APPLET ON & CO:S EDUCATIONAL WORKS. SALLUST'S Jugurtha and Catiline.* WITH NOTES AND A VOCABULARY. BY NOBLE BUTLER AND MINARD STURGUS. 12mo. 397 pages. Price $1.75. The editors have spent a vast amount of time and labor in correcting the text, by a comparison of the most improved German and English editions. It is believed that this will be found superior to any edition hitherto published in this country. In accordance with their chronological order, the "Jugurtha" precedes the " Catiline." The Notes are copious and tersely expressed ; they display not only fine scholarship, but (what is quite as necessary in such a book) a practical knowledge of the difficulties which the student en- counters in reading this author, and the aids that he requires. The Vocabulary was pre- pared by the late Wm. II. G. Butler. It will be found an able and faithful performance. From JonN Kendrick, Prof, of Greek and Latin in Marietta (0.) College. "I assuro you, I am much pleased with the Sal- lust. It is one of the most complete editions of a classic author I have overseen. The type is admira- ble. The Dictionary and the Notes embrace all the information requisite for an intelligent and satisfac- tory perusal of Sallust. You have done for Sallust what I wish to see done for every school edition of the classics. You have made the study of the book dependent on nothing outside of it, except the gen- eral histories." From Jons J. Owen, D. D., Keio York Free Academy. " It is really a beautiful book, both externally and internally. It bears unmistakable evidence of great care, research, and scholarship. It is, I think, decid- edly in advance of any other American edition, so far as I have had leisure to examine it. You seem to have hit upon the happy medium between dryness and meagreness of annotation, on the one hand, and exuberance that leaves nothing for the student to do, on the other. Go forward ; I shall be happy to aid, all I am able, in the circulation of whatever may issue from your pen." From Prof. W. S. Tyler, Amherst College. " It has been one of the pastimes of this vacation to renew my acquaintance with the Jugurthine "War under your guidance, and it is chiefly owing to your excellent notes, that I have enjoyed, as I never did before, the splendid narration and the eloquent speeches of the old Roman historian. You have hit the nail on the head. You have shown, not only learning, but what is, perhaps, more rare, and not less essential, good judgment and common sense, in your annotations. I admire your tact in illustrating an- cient history, by reference to analogous circumstances in modern times. You enter into the spirit, as well as into the meaning of your author, and havo done much to induce the same habit in the student. I have no 'criticisms' to offer on your plan and man- ner. They are admirable." From Prof. T. B. IIudson, Oberlin (<9.) College. " I am greatly pleased with this edition of the Lat- in 'Thucydidcs. 1 The book is a good ono every way — well printed, well bound, and, best of all, well edited. I am glad that the grammatical references are mainly to our American grammarians, Andrews and Stoddard." From Rev. Alex. Young, D. D., Prof. Sac. Lit United Presb. Theol. Sem., Monmouth, III. "The Notes give evidence of research and care, and, in the too general scarcity of standard works of reference, are admirably suited to illustrate the spirit of the text." From Rev. E. D. Macmastee, D. D., Prof, of Tlieol- ogy in New Albany (Ind.) Theol. Sem. "The Notes appear to me to be characterized by excellent discrimination and good judgment, evinc- ing not only scholarship, but an appreciation of what precisely is needed in a school-book, rarely possessed except by the experienced instructor. Altogether, it is an excellent edition." From the Princeton Review. " An excellent school edition. The Notes observe a judicious medium between an indulgent copious- ness and tantalizing brevity. The work is got up >.i good style, and is every way creditable to the schol- arship of the learned editors." 72 D. APPLET OB *<& CO? 8 EDUCATIONAL WORKS. Virgil's ^neid: WITH EXPLANATORY NOTES. BY HENRY S. FRIEZE, PEOFESSOE OF LATIN IN THE STATE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN. 12mo. 598 pages, 85 Engravings. $2.00. The appearance of. this edition of Virgil's JEneid will, it is believed, be hailed with delight by all classical teachers. Neither expense nor pains have been spared to cloth the great Latin Epic in a fitting dress. The type is unusually large and distinct, and errors in the text, so annoying to the learner, have been carefully avoided. The work contains eighty-five engravings, which delineate the usages, costumes, weapons, arts, and mythology of the ancients, with a vividness that can be attained only by pictorial illustration. The great feature of this edition is the scholarly and judicious commentary furnished in the appended Notes. The author has here endeavored, not to show his learning, but to supply such practical aid as will enable the pupil to understand and appreciate what he reads. The Notes are just full enough, thoroughly explaining the most difficult passages, while they are not so extended as to take all labor off the pupil's hands. Properly used, they can not fail to impart an intelligent acquaintance with the syntax of the language. In a word, this work is commended to teachers as the most elegant, accurate, interesting, and practically useful edition of the JSneid that has yet been published. From Dr. John J. Owen, of X. Y. Free Academy. " I am exceedingly pleased with the external and internal appearance of your Virgil and Greek Gram- mar (by Hadley). Both of these books I shall en- deavor to make use of in the Free Academy." From Oliver G. Dean, Principal of Susquehanna Collegiate Institute, (Pa.). " I cannot but believe that in this work Professor Frieze has contributed materially to a proper under- standing and appreciation of this immortal epic." From J. H. Patton, A.M., Principal of Classical School, Hew York, City. " Prof. Frieze deserves the thanks of students of Latin for his edition of Virgil's ^Eneid. On difficult passages Prof. F. is as excellent as he is judicious ; translating only when it is necessary, and scarcely ever without directing the mind of the student to those grammatical principles that will aid him, not merely in reading Virgil, but other Latin poets. The suggestions scattered through the Notes, are, also, admirably adapted to lead the thoughtful student to form habits of critical scholarship. This adaptation to tho wants of studious pupils, as I have found by using it, will make this the favorite edition of the great Latin Epic." From S. H. Taylor, Principal of Phillips' 1 Acade- my, Andover, 'Mass. u I have received the copy of your edition of Vir- gil's - judgment, is the highest encomium which can be bestowed on a text-book." II. Orcutt, Glenwood Ladiej? Seminary, W. Brat- tkboro, Vt. " I am pleased with Harkness's Latin Grammar, and have already introduced it into this Seminary." Charles Jewett, Franklin Academy. " I deem it an admirable work, and think it will supersede all others now extant." C. C. Chase, Lowell High School. "Prof. Harkness's Grammar is, in my opinion, admirably adapted to make the study of the Latin I language agreeable and interesting." ' J. Kimball, Superintendent Public Schools, Salem, Mass. " It meets ray ideal of what is desirable in every grammar, to wit : compression of general princi- ples in terse definitions and statements, for ready use; and fulness of detail, well arranged for ref- erence." T. D. Adams, Newton High School, Mass. "The Subjunctive Mood is treated with a method, brevity, and plainness, unequalled in any other author. I not only like the book, but shall be glad to use it in my school, to the exclasion of all other Latin Grammars of which I have any knowledge." A. C. Perkins, High School, Lawrence, Mass. "It in repeated instances expresses clearly in ten words what occupies ten lines in other gram- mars." Wm. Travis, Linnwood Institute, N. J. •• Xo book could be more welcome. I adopt it without hesitation in preference to any Latin . Grammar with which I am acquainted." D. APPLE TON & CO.'S EDUCATIONAL WORKS. President E. Dodge, Madison University. "As a text-book for American schools and col- leges. Harkness's Latin Grammar is, in my opin- ion, superior to all others." H. S. Frieze, University of Michigan.

Wters, West Chester Academy and Mili- tary Institute. "It is in many vital points superior to any and all Latin Grammars at present in use in the schools and colleges of this country." Prof. N. P. Seymour, Western Reserve College. " The author writes with a clear perception of the wants of American students. The book abounds in examples of fine philosophical anal- ysis." Profs. O. L.

From beginning to end there is in it a perspicuity that I cannot praise too highly." Prof. M. B. Brown, University of Notre Dame, Ind. "I do not hesitate to pronounce Harkness's Latin Grammar a decided improvement on all j works of the kind yet published." Prof. W. H. Young, Ohio University, 0.

This work is intended especially for those who do not contemplate a collegiate course of study, but it may be successfully used in any school where, for special reasons, a small gram- mar is deemed desirable. Many teachers prefer an elementary text-book in the class-room, provided it can be properly supplemented in later study by a more complete discussion of the subject. But the beginner needs to store his mind at the outset with the laws of the lan- guage in such forms of statement as he can carry with him throughout his whole course of 84 D. APPLETON & CO:S EDUCATIONAL WORKS. study. The convenience and interest of the student in this regard have been carefully con- sulted in the preparation of this manual. All the paradigms, rules, and discussions, have in general beSn introduced in the exact form and language of the author's Grammar, by which it may at any time be fully supplemented. While, therefore, in many schools this work will be found a sufficient Latin Grammar, it may be used in others, at the pleasure of the in- structor, either as prepararory to the larger Grammar, or in connection with it. Xo separate references to' this volume will ever be needed in editions of Latin authors, as the numbering of the articles is the same as in the larger Grammar. Thus one and the same reference will apply to both works. OPfflOXS OF DISTINGUISHED EDUCATORS. Pres. Cobleigh, Tennessee Wesleyan University. " This work is very timely. I regard it as in- dispensable in many schools in the South." Prof. W. H. Young, Ohio University. I most heartily commend this work. I have for some time felt its need. It seems to make your Latin course complete." Prof. C. G. Hudson, Genesee Wesleyan Seminary, Lima, N. Y. " I can heartily recommend it. I think that it is superior to all rivals." Prof. H. D. Walker, Orangeville Academy, Pa. " In my opinion, no work of Professor narkness frill be more widely used, or more valuable than ihis. It supplies a want long felt by teachers. It cs clear, thorough, and sufficiently extended for ordinary students." Prof. S. H. Maxlet, Cornell College, Iowa. "I think it one of the finest compendiums of grammar I have ever seen. It must prove of great service as a preparatory drill-book." Prof. L. F. Parker, Iowa College. M I feel under personal obligation for this new oicentive and aid to classical study." H. F. La>te, High School, Templeton, Mass. "It is exactly adapted to our wants. We use all of Harkness's books— Grammar, Reader, and Composition. We consider them emphatically ' the best.' " Prof. J. A. Keller, Heidelberg College, Ohio. " I was surprised to find so full an outline of Latin Grammar comprised within such narrow limits." Prof. M. B. Brown, Notre Dame University. "In my opinion, it is just the book which has long been needed. It is a book to be learned entire, and is complete as far as it goes. Prof. Harkness deserves the thanks both of students and teachers." Rev. M. C. Stebblks, High School, Springfield, Mass. "I must pronounce Harkness's Elements of Latin Grammar a model of condensation." Rev. B. G. Northrop, Secretary of Board of Edu- cation, Conn. "I am highly pleased with Harkness's Ele- ments of Latin Grammar. Its brevity commends it for beginners and for all contemplating a par- tial Latin course of study." Harkness's Latin Reader. This work is intended as a companion to the author's Latin Grammar. It comprises Reading Lessons, Suggestions to the Learner, Notes, and a Vocabulary. The Reading Lessons are abundantly supplied with references to the Grammar, and are arranged in two parts. Part First presents a progressive series of exercises illustrative of grammatical forms, in- flections, and rules. Part Second illustrates connected discourse, and comprises Fables, Anecdotes, and History. The Suggestions to the Learner are intended to direct the unskilful efforts of the beginner, to point out to him the process by which he may most readily and surely reach the meaning 85 D. APPLET ON & CO.'S EDUCATIONAL WORKS, and the structure of a Latin sentence, and to teach him to embody that meaning in clear, idiomatic English. The Notes aim to furnish such collateral information as will enable the learner to appreciate the subject-matter of his reading lessons, and such special aid as will enable him to surmount real and untried difficulties. OPINIONS OF DISTIXOriSIIKI) PRACTICAL INSTRUCTORS. Prof. A. S. Packard, Boudoin College, Maine. "This is an excellent introductory book. The ' Suggestions to the Learner' are very important and useful." Hon. Samuel P. Bates. Deputy Supt. of Public Schools, Pa. " This work is a marvel of excellence. It enun- ciates the true fundamental principles of the science of translation." Prof. W. W. Goodwin, Harvard College. " It seems to me a most valuable work, and an excellent companion to the author's Latin Gram- mar." Prof. Franklin Carter, Williams College, Mass. "I rejoice that there is at last published in our country a series of Latin works really adapted to the wants of beginners." Prof. M. B. Brown, Notre Dame University, Bid. " I consider it a most valuable text-book, emi- nently calculated to promote education in the true and highest sense of the term." Prof. O. L. Castle, Shurtleff College, 111.

Harrington, Wedeyan University, Conn. "It is finely adapted to the author's Grammar. The selections are admirable, and the suggestions to the learner excellent." C. V. Spkar, Young Ladies' Institute, Plttsfield, Mas. " The Suggestions form an entirely new feature, and must be of very great value to the student." Prof. James Mudge, Pennington Female College, N.J. "Harkness's Latin Grammar and Reader are both far superior to any thing previously pro duced." Prof. R. H. Parcell, State Normal School, Ohio. " The Reader is most admirably adapted to thr purpose for which it is designed." B. R. McKoon, Whitestown Seminary, Whitestown N. Y. " I say most unhesitatingly that Harkness^f Reader is the best I have ever seen. With the au thor's incomparable Grammar, it exactly fills the place I have long desired to see attempted." A. D. Candler, Clayton High School, Ga. " Harkness's Latin Grammar and Reader are fai superior to any other introductory Latin bookf now in use. Prof. Harkness has done more thaD any other American teacher to relieve the study of the classics of the tediousness which renders it sc repulsive to the beginner." Prof. H. T. Hickok, High School, Manlius, N. Y. "It seems unnecessary to say of Harkness's whole Latin series that it is unequalled. The au- thor has caught the true idea of a Latin text-book; others have failed in this." Dr. Alexander Wilson, Classical School, Mel- ville, N. C. " Harkness's Latin Reader is an admirable book —the best of the Readers I have seen." Mr. C. R. Bullard, High School, EeesevUle, N. Y. " I regard the Reader as decidedly superior to any other work of the kind. In fact. Harkness's classical course, as a whole, is the best out." 86 D. APPLET ON & CO.'S EDUCATIONAL WORKS. HAKKNESS'S PEACTIOAL Introduction to Latin Composition, This volume is intended to aid the classical student in acquiring a practical acquaintance with the difficult but important subject of Latin composition. It aims to be at once simple, progressive, and complete. Starting with the beginner as soon as he has learned a few gram- matical forms, it conducts him step by step through a progressive series of lessons and exer- cises, until he is so far master, both of the theory and of the practice of the subject, that he no longer needs the aid of a special text-book. The work consists of three parts, of which the first is purely elementary, and is intended as a companion to the Reader. Part Second furnishes the learner instruction and practice in Latin Composition through- out the subsequent stages of his preparatory course for college. Part Third, intended for the earlier portion of a collegiate course of study, aims to intro- duce the student to a practical acquaintance with the elements of Latin style. A series of Models, selected from the writings of Cicero, the great master of Latin style, extends through the entire work. Special attention has been given to the important subject of Synonymes and Idioms. OPINIONS OF PROMINENT EDUCATORS. Prof. J. W. Stearns, University of Chicago. "This work seems to me the best of an admir- able series of Latin text-books. I have already in- troduced it in this institution." A. M. Gat, Master, Boston Latin School.

HAEK.X ESS'S EDITION OF Caesar's Commentaries on the Gallic War. This edition of the Commentaries, intended to follow the Latin Reader, aims to introduce the student to an appreciative study of Latin authors. The text is the result of a careful collation of the several editions most approved by European scholars. The notes are in- tended to guide the faithful efforts of the learner, and to furnish him such collateral informa- tion as will enable him to understand and appreciate the stirring events recorded in the Commentaries, and such special aid as will enable him to surmount real and untried difficul- ties of construction and idiom. They will thus, it is hoped, render an acceptable service both to the instructor and the learner, by lightening the burden of the one, and by promoting the progress of the other. The dictionary has been prepared with special reference to the wants of the student. The Life of Ccesar, the Map of Gaul, and the diagrams and illustrations which accompany the notes, will greatly add to the value of the work. OPINIONS OF PROMINENT EDUCATORS. Pres. AxHXH, Union College, X. T. " This edition of the Commentaries is admira- bly suited, not merely to give the student an ac- quaintance with his immediate text-book, but also to develop those habits of investigation, that thoughtfulness in regard to the scope of the whole subject, and that style of vigorous, tasteful, and idiomatic rendering, which are among the rarest, as they are certainly among the most important, results of classical study." S. H. Taylor, LL. D., Phillips Academy, Andover, Mass. " The notes are prepared with a judicious ap- preciation of the wants of the pupil. They show the hand of the finished scholar, as well as of the experienced teacher." • Pres. McEldownet, Albion College, Mich. '■This is the mcst valuable edition of Caesar with which I am acquainted.'" Prof. C. S. Harrington. Wesleyan University. Ct. " The student who uses this edition must read Caesar with a lively relish." Prof. W. A. Stevens. Derdson University. Ohio. " The notes are gotten up on the right princi- ple, and are greatly superior to those of similar works in England." Pres. Angeix, University of Vermont. 1 4 It is a happy idea to furnish the illustrations, which enrich the notes." Prof. J. E. Gintner. Otterbein University, Ohio.

The biographical sketch of the Roman commander is a splendid production. " J First Greek Book and Introductory Reader. This work is at once a Grammar, an Exercise Book, and an Introductory Reader 1. As a Grammar, it presents an outline of the forms and inflections of the language, and a complete analytical Syntax. 2. As an Exercise-Bool; it furnishes practice in translating Greek into English and English into Greek. It thus renders available at every step the pupil's grammatical knowledge, and gives him such a practical hold upon the forms and principles of the language as no other course can impart. 3. As an Introductory Reader, it furnishes the pupil sufficient practice in translating not only classified sentences, but also connected discourse, in the form of Fables, Anecdotes, and Legends, to prepare him to enter with ease and success upon the consecutive study of the Anabasis of Xenophon. It thus obviates the necessity of any separate Reader, and, with the Anabasis, furnishes all the reading matter deemed essential in a course of preparatory study. 4. The work is complete in itself, requiring no accompaniment of grammar or lexicon ; but, as it is abundantly furnished with references to the Grammars of Professors Hadley, Crosby, and Sophocles, it may be used at the pleasure of the instructor, either alone or as a companion to either of those standard works.

Price $1.50. A complete, thorough, practical, and easy Greek course is here presented. The heginnor commences with the " First Book," in which the elementary principles of the language are unfolded, not in abstract language difficult hoth to comprehend and to remember, hut as practically applied in sentences. Throughout the whole, the pupil sees just where he stands, and is taught to use and apply what he learns. His progress is, therefore, as rapid as it is intelligent and pleasant. There is no unnecessary verbiage, nor is the pupil's atten- tion diverted from what is really important by a mass of minor details. It is the experience of teachers who use this hook that with it a given amount of Greek Grammar can he im- parted to a pupil in a shorter time and with far less trouble than with any other text-hook. The "First Book" may with advantage he followed hy the "Introduction to Greek Prose Composition." The object of this work is to enable the student, as soon as he can decline and conjugate with tolerahle facility, to translate simple sentences after given cx amples and with given words ; the principles employed heing those of imitation and very frequent repetition. It is at once a Syntax, a Vocabulary, and an Exercise book. The "Second Part" carries the subject further, unfolding the most complicated constructions, and the nicest points of Latin Syntax. The Reader, besides extracts judiciously selected from the Greek classics, contains valu- able instructions to guide the learner in translating and construing, and a complete expo- sition of the particles, their signification and government. It is a fitting sequel to the earlier parts of the course, everywhere showing the hand of an acute critic, an accomplished scholar, and an experienced teacher. From the Rev. Dr. Coleman, Professor of Greek and Latin, Princeton, 2T. J. " I can, from the most satisfactory experience, bear testimony to the excellence of your series of Text- Books for Schools. I am in the daily use of Arnold's Latin and Greek Exercises, and consider them decid- edly superior to any other Elementary "Works in those Languages." From E. S. Dlxwell, Public Latin School, Boston. " I have caused hoth ' Arnold's Greek and Latin Prose Composition, 1 as well as 'Arnola's First and Second Latin Book,' to be introduced into this School, which is the best proof of the estimation in which I hold them.'" i and power in combination." 90 From "William A. Ely, University of Michigan. " I have made considerable use of ' Arnold's Latin Book,' ' Cornelius Nepos,' and ' Greek Reader,' &c, In my Classes, and can from experience say that they are the best Text-books of the kind with which I am acquainted." From the Worcester Palladium. " The First Greek Book is admirably adapted for beginners. It proceeds upon the analytic method of imparting or obtaining knowledge; taking first the elements in their simplest forms, and obtaining just coneeptions of their true nature and power ; and then by the synthetic process, determining their ad:.pt2d- ness, and relations to each other, and their charactei D.

A Greek Grammar FOR SCHOOLS AND COLLEGES. 13 Y JAMES H A D L E Y nONMOS IN YALE COLLEGE. 12mo. 3G6 pages $2.00. Professor ITadley's long-expected Grammar is offered to the public in the confident belief that it will, in every respect, meet the wants of Academies and Colleges. It not only presents the latest and best results of Greek studies, but it also treats the language in the light received from comparative philology. We invite particular attention to the conven- ient exhibition of the dialects, the systematic arrangement and symmetrical paradigms of the verb, the syntax of the modes and tenses, and the syntax of the particles. The whole work will be found clear in its language, accurate in its definitions, judicious In its arrange- ment, and sufficiently comprehensive for all purposes, while it is free from that cumbrous array of details so repulsive to the student. From A. C. Kendeick, Prof, of Greek in Rochester Univ., Author of Kendrick's Greek Ollendorff, etc. " I am particularly pleased with Prof. Hartley's Greek Grammar. It comes very near to meeting my ideal of a Greek Grammar for American Academies and Colleges. I shall recommend it at once strongly to my classes in Greek." From Rev. Chaklton T. Lewis, Professor in Troy University. " It meets a want all instructors in Greek have long felt, and meets it so well tbat we can desire little more. I have of course adopted it as the text- book and standard of reference in this institution, believing that it will be found quite full enough even for advanced college classes." From Elbeidge Smith, Princ. of Norwich {Conn.) Free Academy. " The use of the book is to me a source of constant- ly increasing pleasure It seems to me he must be a scholar of extraordinary courage who shall attempt to present the elements of the Greek language in a clearer or more attractive form than in the Grammar of Prof. Hadley." From Eev. Mahlon Long, Principal of Tennent School, Hartsville, Pa. " From the reputation of the author and the pecu- liar merit of the Grammar, it must soon take high rank among scholars and teachers. It is worthy of remark how far it embraces, in condensed form, the substance of the largest grammars. It is needless to speak of it in detail. " Its completeness, conciseness, and clearness of statement must commend it at once to intelligent scholars as an important contribution to Greek lite- rature in the place it professes to occupy." From Howard Cnosnv, Prof, of Greek in Rutgers College, New Brunswick. M I am much obliged to you for the copy of Had- ley "s Greek Grammar. I have been looking for its publication for some time past, knowing that Prof. Hadley's scholarship would produce a very valuable work. Nor am I disappointed. My examination of the book has satisfied me that it is the best Greek Grammar accessible to college students in our country. It will add to Prof. Hadley's deservedly high reputation, while it will greatly assist the labors of instructors." From S. II. Taylob, LL. D., Principal of Phillips' Academy. " I have been for some time familiar with Curtius's Greek Grammar, on which Prof. Hadley's is based, and have found it a valuable work. But under the skilful hand of Prof. Hadley, we have a new and greatly improved treatise. In its present form, so elaborately re-wrought, and made so full in all its parts, it presents in a very methodical, clear, and direct form, all the grammatical principles of the lan- guage, which the student will ordinarily have occa- sion to seek. It is an index of the progress of Greek studies in our country." From the Presbyterian Banner. " In this grammar Prof. Hadley has brought out, with great success, the new views of Greek ety- mology and structure, as developed and established by the comparative study of the Indo-European language. The multiplicity of forms presented by the different dialects is wonderfully simplified. The forms of voice, mode, and tense are reduced to a small nwmber of groups called 1 tense-systems,' thus making the entire structure of the verb simple and more intelligible to the learner." 92 D. APPLET OX cd CO:S EDUCATIONAL WORKS. SHORT AND COMPREHENSIVE Greek Grammar. BY J. T. CHAMPLIN, PROFESSOR OF GREEK A>D LATIX IX WATERV1LLE COLLEGE. 12mo. 208page3. Price $1.25. In compiling this grammar, Prof. Champlin has drawn upon the best critics and gram- marians, and with the results of his research has interwoven much original matter suggested during several years' experience in teaching and editing Greek authors. His design is to exhibit the essential facts and principles of the language in the clearest, briefest, and most practicable form possible. With this view, all theories and complications belonging to general grammar have been avoided, and only their results used. The amplification and illustration of principles have been carried only so far as is necessary to their comprehen- sion. In this way all the real wants of the Greek student are met, while his attention is not distracted by unnecessary and embarrassing details. Materials for oral exercises are supplied, and a sketch of Greek versification is given in an appendix. From the Rev. Me. Anderson, New Orleans. "I believe the author has fully accomplished what he proposes in his preface. To those wishing to study Oreek, I am satisfied he has presented a book which will much tend to simplify the 6tudy, to beginners— and at the same time without being too voluminous, presents as lucid and full an exposition of the princi- ples of the language, as can be contained within so small a compass. His arrangement of Anomalous verbs we think excellent, and not loaded with super- fluous matter. His chapter on the formation of words is appropriate, and a great desideratum to tyros in the study." Kuhner's Greek Grammar TRANSLATED BY PROFESSORS EDWARDS AND TAYLOR. Large 12mo. 620 pages. Price $2. 00. Kuhner's is universally acknowledged to be the most accurate, comprehensive,, clear, and practical grammar of the Greek language now extant. It is the work of one who devoted his life to Greek philology, and spent years of patient labor in perfecting this work. Too full and learned for the beginner, it is just what is needed for the College curriculum, con- taining all that a book of reference should contain. The student will never appeal to its pages in vain. In fulness of illustration, copiousness of reference, and philosophical analysis of the various forms of language, it is unsurpassed, we might say unequalled. The present translation is made by two distinguished American scholars, who have re- vised the whole, verified the references, and appended an original treatise of their own on Greek versification. As now presented to the public, it is believed to be as perfect a gram- mar of the Greek language as enlightened research and profound scholarship can produce. From the Professor of Greek in Williams College. " I think highly of your edition of Kuhner's Greek Grammar. "We have nothing in use among us that is *qual to it as a comprehensive, systematic analysis of the language. In many respects the translators have much improved this edition, and I should be glad to ■ave its pages more generally consulted by our young oaeo." From Prof. Geo. Burrowes, Lafayette College, f " I beg to tender you my thanks for the copy of the new revised edition of Kuhner's Greek Grammar, translated by Edwards and Taylor. The high charac- ter of this book is fully established, and the friends of Greek literature are under obligations as well to the publishers as to the translators for making it accessi- ble to the students of our country." 93 D.

KENDRICK, PROFESSOR Or TUE GREEK LANGUAGE AND LITERATURE EH THE UNIVERSITY OT ROCHESTER. 12mo. 371 pages. Price SI. 75. The present work is what its title indicates, strictly an Ollendorff, and aims to apply tbo methods which have proved so successful in the acquisition of the modern languages to tho Btudy of Ancient Greek, with such differences as the different genius of the Greek, and the different purposes for which it is studied, suggest. It differs from the modern Ollendorff* in containing exercises for reciprocal translation, in confining them within a smaller com- pass, and in a more methodical exposition of the principles of the language. The leading ohject of the author was to furnish a book which should serve as an vilroduc- lion to the study of Greek, and precede the use of any Grammar. It will therefore be found, although not claiming to embrace all the principles of the Grammar, yet complete in itself, and will lead the pupil, by insensible gradations, from the simpler constructions to those which are more complicated and difficult. The exceptions, and the more idomatic forms, it studiously avoids, aiming only to exhibit the regular and ordinary usages of the language as the proper starting-point for the student's further researches. In presenting these, the author has aimed to combine the strictest accuracy with the ut- most simplicity of statement. His work is therefore adapted to a younger class of pupils than have usually engaged in the study of Greek, and will, it is hoped, win to the acquisi- tion of that noble tongue many in our academies and primary schools who have been re pclled by the less simple character of our ordinarv text-books.

These Exercises consist of easy sentences, similar to those in the Anabasis, in having the ssajne words and constructions, and are designed by frequent repetition to make the learner familiar with the language of Xenophon. Accordingly, the chapters and sections in both are made to correspond. No exercises can be more improving than those in this volume ; obliging the student as they do, by analysis and synthesis, to master the constructions em- ployed by one of the purest of Greek writers, and imbuing him with the spirit of one oi the greatest historians of all antiquity.

A handsome and convenient edition of this great classic, really adapted to the wants of schools, has long heen needed ; the want is here met hy Professor Boise in a manner that leaves nothing to be desired. Decidedly the best German editions, whether text or com- mentary be considered, have appeared within the last few years ; and of these Mr. Boise has made free use ; while, at the same time, he has not lost sight of the fact that the classical schools of this country are behind those of Germany, and that simpler and more elementary explanations are therefore often necessary in a work prepared for American schools. Nothing has been put in the notes for the sake of a mere display of learning, — pedantry is out of place in a school-book ; and nothing has been introduced by way of com- ment except what can be turned to practical use by the reader. An historical introduction, which will enable the pupil to enter on his task intelligently, is prefixed. An abundance of geographical information, embodying the latest discoveries of travellers, is supplied ; and the whole is illustrated with Kiepert's excellent map, show- ing the entire route of the ten thousand on their retreat.

The text is large and distinct, the typography accurate, and the notes judicious and scholarly.

This edition of the Apology and Crito has been prepared to meet the largely felt want among students of the Dialogues of Plato, now mostly superseded in Academic Courses. It is in the main an exact reprint of Stallbaum's Third Edition — though the author has had before him, and used, whenever it seemed best, the editions of Iiekker, Fischer, Forster, Ast, Schleicrmachcr, and others. The Notes are particularly full and clear ; and errors in the text have been guarded against with the very greatest care. From J. II. Garritt, Professor of Greek, Hanover (Ind.) College. u I can most heartily say that I am much pleased with the book. Prof. Tyler 6cems to have hit the happy medium between too profuse and too 6canty notes; and also to have known the kind of notes needed in our American institutions, better than the great majority of those who have given us editions of the ancient classics. I have adopted the work this year, in place of the Gorgias, and anticipate much pleasure in reading it in connection with the class." From Jacob Cooper, Ph.D., Prof, of the Greek Lan- guage and Literature in Centre College, Dan- ville, Ky. " I have examined Professor Tyler's edition of the 'Apology and Crito,' and am highly pleased with its execution. It bears the marks of the editor's well- known scholarship, and is an acceptable addition to our college text-books. The typography is also ac- curate and very beautiful. I purpose to introduce it into Centre Colloge." From ALpnF.cs S. Packard, Professor of the Greek Language, Bowdoin College. "I received, a 6hort time since, 1 Plato's Apology and Crito,' edited by Professor Tyler. I am much pleased with the edition, and shall introduce It into my classes as soon as I have opportunity. I have no doubt it will prove a most acceptable addition to the classics read in our colleges." From "W. II. Young, Dept. Anct. Languages, Ohio University, Athens. " It will meet a pressing want with us, and shall be introduced at once. The type is beautiful indeed, and the earnest teacher of the classics needs no better recommendation of a text-book than the name of Professor Tyler." From the Witness and Church Advocate, Boston.

BY HERMAN M. JOHNSON, D. D., PROFESSOR OF PHILOSOPHY AND ENGLISH LITERATURE IX DICKINSON COLLEGE 12mo. 185 pages. Price $150. The present selection embraces such parts of Herodotus as give a connected history of Asiatic nations. These portions are not only particularly interesting in themselves, but open to the student a new field, inasmuch as the other Greek and Eoman authors com- monly put into his hands leave this period of history untouched. Herodotus is peculiarly adapted to academical reading. It has charms for the student which no other text-book possesses, on account of the simple elegance of the style and the liveliness of the narrative. In preparing his notes, the editor has borne in mind that they are intended for learners in the earlier part of their classical course ; he has therefore made the explanations in the former part of the work quite full, with frequent references to such grammars as are in the hands of most students. The notes proper are purely explanatory and grammatical. Other remarks, in the way of criticism or investigation, are appended to the several chapters, for the sake of awaken ing reflection and inciting to further inquiry. A condensed treatise on the Ionic Dialect and the peculiar forms of declension and con jugation used by Herodotus, removes one of the most serious difficulties that has hereto- fore embarrassed the student in reading this author. If this chapter is learned in advance, the dialectic forms, otherwise so troublesome, will be recognized without the slightest difficulty. The text is printed in large, bold type, and accompanied with a Map of the regions described. SOPHOCLES' CE d i p u s Tyrannus. WITH ENGLISH NOTES, FOK THE USE OF STUDENTS IN SCHOOLS AND COLLEGES. BY HOWARD CROSBY, A. M., PROFESSOR OF THE GREEK LANGUAGE AND LITERATURE IN THE NEW YORK UNIVERSITY. 12mo. 138 pages. Price $1.50. The object had in view in this publication is to furnish to college-students the master- piece of the greatest of Greek tragic poets in a convenient form. No learned criticism on the text was needed or has been attempted. The Tauchnitz edition has been chiefly fol- lowed, and such aid is rendered, in the way of notes, as may assist, not render needless, the efforts of the student. Too much help begets indolence ; too little, despair : the author has striven to present the happy mean. The inviting appearance of the text and the merit of the commentary have made this volume a favorite whenever it has been used. 7 97 JJ. APPLET ON <£• CO:S EDUCATIONAL WORKS.

Kvpov Ilaideia, the Education of Cyrus, the Discipline of Cyrus. The book, however, treats not only of the earlier years of Cyrus, but also of his whole life, his laws, institutions, habits in peace and in war, management of his empire, and the means by which he gave strength and permanence to his government. It may be regarded in the light of a historical romance, founded in the main upon facts, but dressed up and embellished with much that is most unquestionably fictitious. It has ever been regarded as a most fascinating work, and from the purity and wisdom of its maxims, its high moral tone, its simplicity of style, and the importance of the subject, has been considered a very appropriate classic for the young stu- dent, and has from time immemorial found its way, in whole or in some of its parts, into almost every academic course of study in this country and in Europe. From Prof. Stxtrges, Hanoi er College. " The Odyssey and Cyropa?dia of Prof. Owen appear fully equal to his Anabasis; and after using the latter for three years, I feel that I cannot give them a higher praise. The Anabasis is one of the very bent edited Greek books I have ever used— learned, modest, and exact, and characterized throughout by a good sense and sound judgment, much rarer than the learning. I shall introduce the Odyssey here next term. I am glad Prof. Owen is engaged with Thucydidcs, that most admirable and difficult author.'' 1 From Prof. W. S. Tyler, D. D., Amherst College. " I have examined the Cyropaidia and Odyssey by Prof. Owen, with great satisfaction, and recommend them for use in our classes. After using them for some time as text-books, I am still more convinced of their admirable adaptation to answer that end in our schools and colleges. They have been prepared with great labor and care." From the Bibliotheca Sacra, Andover Mass. " This is the first edition of this historical romance »f Xenophon which has appeared in our country. The text is that of Dindorf, which is probably nearer the true reading than any other. The work is printed with unusual accuracy, the few typographical errors which we have detected being confined principally to accents. The Notes are judicious, and, what cannot often be said, on jue.t the passages where the student might find difficulty. They remind us at every step that the author is a practical teacher, well acquainted with what the student needs, neither begetting habits of indolence in him by affording too much assistance, nor leaving him in despair by giving too little. The notes illustrate national customs, geography, gram- matical usages, the idioms of the language, as well as the general connection of thought These editions of the Greek classics, prepared by Prof. Owen, have been received with high approbation by teachers in our schools and colleges; and we are pleased to learn that he has commenced the preparation of an edition of Thucydides." From President Smith, Dartmouth College. " This is a very neatly printed edition of one of the sweetest works of the ' Attic bee. 1 It possesses, we think, special claims upon the attention of teach- ers. The text adopted is chielly that of Dindorf, one of the most perfect of the German editions. The Notes are elaborated with great care, and the editor has evidently brought to his task a sound judgment in regard to the aid required by the student, a just appreciation of the peculiarities of the author, and an 'iron diligence 1 in elucidating difficulties, which will secure to the ediuon the respect and confidence teachers." D. APPLET Isf S COSS EDUCATIONAL WORKS. The Anabasis of Xenophon. CHIEFLY ACCORDING TO THE TEXT OF L. DINDORF, WITH NOTES ; FOR THE USE OF SCHOOLS AND COLLEGES. BY JOHN J. OWEN, ID. 13., LL. 13. , PEOFESSOB OF ANCIENT LANGUAGES IN THE NEW YORK FREE ACADEMY. REVISED EDITION, WITH A BEAUTIFUL MAP. 12mo. 440 pages. Price $2.00. The first edition of this Anabasis was published in 1843. Since that time about 40,000 copies have been printed and sold. The stereotype plates having become somewhat worn by this great number of impressions, it has been deemed advisable to recast them in the Porsonian type, and in a style corresponding to the editor's more recent classical editions. The notes have been thoroughly revised and pruned of redundancies and all irrelevancies, and enriched . by copious references to the grammars of Sophocles, Crosby, Kuhner, and Hadley. In addi- tion to the references to Sophocles's grammar at the foot of the page and extending through the first book, copious references to their respective grammars, for that same portion of the text, have been made expressly for this edition by S. H. Taylor, LL. D., of Phillips Academy, Andover, Mass., Prof. Hadley of Yale College, and by Prof. Goodwin to his "Moods and Tenses of the Greek Verb." Thus the book is rendered invaluable to all who wish to become well grounded in the elements of the Greek language. From President "Woolsey, Yale College. "I find that Prof. Owen has followed the best text, and that the notes hear abundant testimony to the diligent and careful study which he has spent upon his author, and to his judicious use of the best, com- mentaries. Bis edition must be regarded, I think, as decidedly in advance of all others to which ttudents of the Anabasis in our country hitherto \.a ce had access." From President Felton, Harvard University. "I have to acknowledge the receipt of a copy of /our excellent edition of the Anabasis. I have exam- ined it with much care, and like it far better than any other edition I have ever read. It is so faithfully and .aboriously prepared, that it will bear the closest scru- .1ny." From the Forth American Review. "This is one of the best prepared classical school books that has ever fallen under our notice." From Prof. E. Searing, A. M., Milton Academy, Wisconsin. " I have, for a number of years, used and recom- mended in the class-room Professor Owen's edition of the Anabasis, regarding it as having no superior, either in accuracy of text or in the clearness and practical usefulness of the notes. With the refer- ences to Kiihner's and Hadley's Grammars, and to Goodwin's Syntax of the Moods and Tenses, recently introduced, I now consider it decidedly superior to any other edition of Xenophon with which I am acquainted, and shall continue to use and recommend it with increased confidence." 99 IX APPLET N ..£rozvn University. u From a long acquaintance with Dr. Owen's ex- cellent editions of the Greek Classics, I have become deeply impressed with their superior value, and with their wise adaptation to the wants of the classical schools and colleges of our country. Having tested several of them in the class-room, especially the edi- tions of Thucydides and the Iliad, I take pleasure in expressing my appreciation of their rare merits. Tbeir accomplished editor has brought to his work sound philological principles, rich stores of classical learning, and the ripe experience of a life of practical instruction." From the Bibliotheca Sacra, "The paper and typography of the voiume are all which could be desired. The letters are exceedingly attractive to the eye accustomed to the small print and wretched paper of some of the German editions. The Iliad can now be studied to the t tmost advantap* by the advarced scholar," 100 D. APPLET ON & CO:S EDUCATIONAL WORKS. The Acts of the Apostles, ACCORDING TO THE TEXT OF HAHX, WITH XOTES AXD A LEXICOX ; FOE THE USE OF SCHOOLS, COLLEGES, AND THEOLOGICAL BEMIN ABIES, ACCOMPANIED BY A FINELY EXGEAVED MAP FEOM KIEPEBT. 12ino. 276 pages. Price $1.75. BY JOHN J. OWE^, 13. D., LL.D., PROFESSOR OF ANCTEKT LANGUAGES IN THE NEW YORK FBEE ACADEMY. This edition of the Acts of the Apostles is an exact reprint of Dr. Robinson's edition of Hahn's Novum Testamentnm Greece, published by Messrs. Leavitt & Co. in 1842, which is perhaps as accurate an edition, on the whole, as can now be found. Recent discoveries and recensions of manuscripts may have justified some changes ; but, so far as this portion of the Xew Testament is concerned, they are quite unimportant, in no instance very seriously affect- ing the sense of the text. The object of the Editor in preparing this volume was, to secure, if possible, the introduction of a portion of the Greek Testament into the prescribed and regular course of classical study in our academies and colleges. The Acts of the Apostles was selected as being admirably adapted, both in subject and style, to interest the student and secure his moral and intellectual improvement. The type is of that plain and beautiful kind called Por- sonian, which, at the special instance of the Editor, was imported by Mr. J. F. Trow, to be used in this and kindred works. The boldness and clearness of this letter, together with the pains taken to avoid a crowded page, it is hoped will prove attractive to such students as may jse the book in preparation for the class exercise. The Editor commits the work to his friends and the public, with the hope that it will not only advance the general interests of classical literature, but turn the attention of students to the Word of God in its original language, by the study of which alone its treasures may be fully possessed. From Prof. S. H. Taylor, LL. D., Phillips Acad- emy, Andocer, Mass. " From the use which I have made of Prof. Owen's Acts of the Apostle?, I have formed a very favorable opinion of it as a text-book in a classical course of study. The Greek has much more of a classical char- acter than most of the New Testament ; the history itself is interesting, and the Notes are happily adapted to meet the wants of the student. The map, the beau- tiful type, the clear, judicious notes, and the lexicon, together afford the student a very attractive and val- uable apparatus for the successful study of this por- tion of the Scriptures in the original tongue. The desirableness of connecting such a portion of the New Testament Greek with the usual classical course, few will doubt. Prof. Owen has done a valuable service in the preparation of this edition, as in the other im- portant works which he has published.'" From Prof. B D. C. Bobbins, MiddUbury College. " I have us<*l the volume of Prof. Owen's Classical Series, containing the Acts of the Apostles, as a text- book for a Monday morning exercise with the Sopho- more class in college, and have found it very con- renient and useful. The Notes are brief and to the point; so much so, that they have often made me wish that he had extended them somewhat more. Still they are all that a student needs in a text -book for the recitation-room." From Prof. N. H. Griffin, Williams " I highly prize Prof. Owen's Acts of the Apostles, and consider it admirably fitted for the purpose he intended it The plan of introducing the Sacred Text into our institutions is one which, I think, will find much favor. 11 From the Xew York Observer. " The aim of Dr. Owen, ' to secure the introduc- tion of a portion of the Greek Testament into the prescribed and regular course of classical study in academies and colleges,' is worthy of commendation, and we trust will be carried out by the faculties of these institutions. This edition is all that could be desired, and indeed all that the most enthusiastic and indefatigable dftvotion to the task could make it. The text is the most accurate and approved. The type is clear and beautiful, altogether the most attractive that we have seen in American typography, and the whole mechanical execution of the work is above praise." 101 D.

This edition of Thucydides, the only one yet published in this country, is recommended by all the leading professors in our American colleges, and by many of the ablest scholars abroad, as one of the best to which the student has access. It is an elegant 12mo volume of 700 pages, printed in beautiful type, on clear fine paper, with a Map from Kiepert, Summaries, Historical Indexes, References to the best Grammars, &e. From Pbof. J. C. Moffat, D. D., Princeton College. "Your Homer and Thucydidcs occupy the first place in my recommendations of editions of those authors for use in the classes." From Pkof. J. B. Boise, University of Michigan. u I have always considered Dr. Owen's editions of the ancient Greek classical authors to be among the best and safest guides for American students. My classes have been in the habit of using especially his editions of Thucydides and Homer's Iliad since their first publication. Dr. Owen has taken pains to select the best test, and his explanatory notes are neither too copious nor too limited, and they seldom fail to hit the points which require elucidation.*' From Prof. A. C. Kendrick, D. D., Rochester Uni- versity. "Dr. Owen has rendered a most important service to the cause of Classical Education by his valuable series of Greek text-books. The Notes are reliable and to the point. His edition of Thucydides is espe- cially valuable on account of the scantiness of aids in this country for understanding that difficult yet most instructive author." From Prof. Axpheus Packard, D. D., Boicxloin Col- lege. " 1 am using Prof. Owen's Odyssey in my classes with ontire satisfaction, and shall introduce his Thu- cydides whenever I have an opportunity." From the North American Review. " We feel no scruple in saying that Prof. Owen has rendered one of the highest services to classical learn- ing, by furnishing the colleges with this excellent edi- 102 tion. "We heartily commend the book to the regards of teachers, confident that they will find It really en- titled to the praises we have bestowed. As a proof of the estimation in which it is held, we mention that It is introduced into the course of studies in Harvard College." From the Bibliotheca Sacra. (By Prof. Hadlet, of Yale College.) "A large mass of valuable materials was placed at the disposal of the American editor, and Dr. Owen has shown that he is acquainted with these materials and understands their value. He has used them abun- dantly, but not indiscriminately, exercising an inde- pendent judgment, and keeping constantly in view the circumstances and wants of the class for whom his work is intended. . . . One of the most striking features of the present work is the attention every- where paid to the train of thought, narrative, and argument of the original Each chapter is introduced in the commentary by a full analysis of its contents; and in many cases a series of chapters, forming a sep- arate whole, has a special introduction, defining its subject, and presenting a general conspectus of its structure. . . . We have read over with much satis- I faction the notes by which the editor has sought to make the Funeral Oration of Pericles — a speech scarcely less celebrated for its difficulty than its ex cellence — intelligible to the student." From the New York Observer. " It has frequently been our pleasure to speak oi the results of Prof. Owen's editorial labors in the rich soil of the Greek classics ; but we have met with nothing from his careful and critical pen that reflects so much credit upon him and American letters as th» work before us."

This edition — the only one published in this country — was prepared at the request of sov- eral distinguished professors who wished that an edition, abreast with the most recent philolog- .cal helps, might be made accessible to their pupils. Its beautifully clear type, and judicious notes, render it one of the most popular text-books, not to speak of the great interest which must ever attach itself to this most charming poem of antiquity. From President Feltox, Harvard University. " I have read the greater part of your book, with unmixed pleasure. You have hit the nail precisely on the head. We use the book with the Freshmen." From President "Woolsey, Yale College. "I have examined parts of Prof. Owen's Odyssey with some care, and see in it the same excellence which existed in his edition of the Anabasis. He has used with diligence all the best helps, and has usually chosen, so far as I have noticed, the best explanations with free, independent judgment, and has placed be- fore the student an apparatus for the study of the Odyssey such as I know of nowhere else in the Eng- lish language. In particular, his is the first edition for school and college use, within my acquaintance, where the very important labors of Nitzsch have been made use of." From Peof. J. E. Boise, University of Michigan. ""With the flattering notices of Prof. Owen's excel- lent edition of the Odyssey which have already ap- peared, I fully concur. The editor understands the wants of the student, and possesses much skill in meeting them.'" From the Xorth American Review. "We have carefully read a large portion of the notes, and it is but justice to the accomplished editcr, who is one of the most distinguished classical teachers in our country, to say that they are excellently adapt- ed to the instruction of the young classical scholars for whom they were designed. They are learned without pedantry, and concise without obscurity, and they abound in elegant criticism. For the first time a useful and scholarlike edition of this most delightful narrative poem of antiquity has appeared in the Uni- ted States; and the favorable reception it has met with, is a good omen for the cause of ancient litera- ture among us." From the Princeton Biblical Repertory. " The volume here produced is convenient, beauti- ful, and well furnished with notes, which explain mat- ters as well of archaeology as of exegesis. "We heartily thank the able editor for thus contributing to our school apparatus what is at present the only complete American edition of this most delightful of all po- ems." 103 D. APPLET ON & CO.'S EDUCATIONAL WORKS. A Greek Reader. CONTAINING SELECTIONS PROM VARIOUS AUTHORS; ADAPTED TO SOPHOCLES'S, KUHNER'S, AND CROSBY'S GRAMMARS, WITH NOTES AND A LEXICON FOR THE USE OF SCHOOLS AND ACADEMIES 13 Y JOHN J. OWEN, ID. D., LL.D., PROFESSOR OF ANCIENT LANGUAGES IN THE NEW YORK FREE ACADEMY. 12mo. 338 pages. Price $2.00. It has been the object of the Editor to furnish beginners with a book not bo bulky with heavy extracts from difficult authors as to discourage them, but one which is both inviting and thorough, and which leads by easy and pleasant stages from the usual selection of fables, dialogues, and short, pithy sayings, to the more sedate and difficult portions of history and poetry. Every extract has been made with reference to the combination of an easy and simple style with stirring incidents, in order that the student may be interested in the subject of his recitation. The text is in the beautiful and clear Porsonian type, with generous spacing, so as to make the page attractive to the eye of the young student. The notes arc copious, yet not so much so as to weaken habits of self-reliance, or beget the practice of depending upon others for the solution of every point of more than ordinary difficulty. The Lexicon is not a mere Clavis, so fatal to sound and independent scholarship, but full, logical, and ex- haustive. It is believed that all who use this book, will find it a useful auxiliary in the prep- aration of students for the collegiate stage of education. From Prof. S. 1L Taylor, LL D., Phillips Acad- emy, Andover, Mass. "Prof. Owen's Greek Reader is a very beautiful hook, and will certainly be most attractive to any schoolboy. The selections he has made are well adapted to interest the student— a circumstance that aas been too much overlooked in the preparation of books for those who are just beginning a foreign language. The Notes are just what the student needs, sufficiently full, yet not unnecessarily so. The frequent references to the Grammar are of great value in making tho student familiar in his earlier stages of study with the nicer principles and idioms of the language. The book, it seems to me, is well fitted in all its parts to awaken interest in the study of the Greek, and to develop the riches of that noble language." From Prof. A. J. Phipps, New Bedford, Jfass. u I have been examining with some care Owen's Greek Reader, particularly the Notes, and am so well pleased with it that I shall hereafter recommend it to my pupils in preference to any similar work." From W. B. Silber, A. M., Instructor in Greek and Latin in the New York Free Academy. "The editor has evinced good taste and excellent judgment in his selections both of prose and poetry, thus affording a pleasing variety to the student with- out the risk of producing wearisomeness and disgust. "The notes are excellent both in quantity and qual- ity, and abound in references to the grammars of Sophocles, Kuhner, and Buttmann. " The vocabulary contains full and precise defini- tions to the words and phrases occurring in the text.* 104 D. APPLETON & G 0?S EDUCATIONAL W011KS.

KEY TO EXERCISES. Separate volume. Price $1.00. Ollendorff's French Grammars have been before the public so long, and have had their merits so generally acknowledged, that it is unnecessary to enter into any detailed descrip- tion of their peculiarities or lengthy argument in their favor. Suffice it to say, that they are founded in nature, and follow the same course that a child pursues in first acquiring his native tongue. They teach inductively, understandingly, interestingly. They do not repel the student in the outset by obliging him to memorize dry abstract language which conveys little or no idea to his mind, but impart their lessons agreeably as well as efficiently by exercises, which teach the principles successively involved more clearly than any abstract language can. They give a conversational, and therefore a practically useful, knowledge of the language ; the student is made constantly to apply what he learns. To these pecu- liarities is due the wide-spread and lasting popularity of the Ollendorff series. Prof. Greene's Introduction, the first of the works named above, will be found useful for young beginners. In it are presented the fundamental principles of the language, carefully culled out, and illustrated with easy exercises. It paves the way for the larger works, pre- paring the pupil's mind for their more comprehensive course and awakening in it a desire for further knowledge. Value's and Jewett's works are essentially the same, though differing somewhat in their arrangement and the additions that have been made to the original. Some institutions prefer one, and others the other ; either, it is believed, will impart a thorough acquaint- ance with French, both grammatical and conversational, by an interesting process, and with but little outlay of time and labor.

Price $1.25. It is claimed that the lahor of teaching and learning the French language is immensely reduced hy this new method, and the success of the pupil placed upon a footing of cer tainty never heretofore attained. The general characteristics of the system for which this claim is made are as follows : 1. The judicious combination of Theory and Practice, Rule and Exercise, in their just proportion to each other. 2. A new Analysis of the Ele- ments of Language. 3. The presentation of a Panoramic View of the French Language as a whole. 4. Teaching one thing at a time, and proceeding hy Inductive Steps. 5. The thorough examination of Complex Sentences, and the peculiar force and relations of Con- necting Words. 6. The furnishing of so complete a Key to the Pronunciation that the American can teach it with the same accuracy and facility as the native Parisian. The Lessons are full ; the Rules, clear ; the Exercises, short and simple. They emhody a complete course of Comparative Grammar, while their peculiar arrangement leaves the teacher free as to the use to he made of the theoretical portions. The treatment of the Conjugations, of the Gender of Nouns, the formation of the Plural of Nouns and Adjec- tives, of the Feminine of Adjectives, and of Adverhs, will be found novel and ingenious. The Introduction, the Treatise on Pronunciation, the Remarks on the Moods and Tenses, and the Philological Notes freely interspersed, contain a mass of information on the French Language which would he sought for elsewhere in vain. The student who is without a teacher will find himself completely guided, hy this new method, through the intricacies of French Grammar and Pronunciation. Messrs. Andrews and Batchelor's System, as set forth in these two volumes, is pro- nounced hy accomplished scholars and experienced teachers of the language, the hest sys- tem yet devised in this or any other country. Desirous of getting it before intelligent instructors, the publishers have issued a Circular, setting forth the peculiar features of the system, presenting specimen pages of both volumes, and containing a selection from the numerous strong commendations they have received from the most distinguished educa- tors and candid critics in the land. This Circular will be sent gratis, on application, tc any address. 106 D.

A.s soon as the French student has learned enough of the verh to enable him to translate, this volume should be placed in his hands. It embraces ninety-two carefully- selected dialogues on e very-day subjects, calculated to familiarize the student with the most necessary expressions, and to enable him to converse with fluency. The dialogues are followed by an important chapter on differences of idioms, in which are set forth those peculiarities of the language that cannot be classified under general rules, accompanied by grammatical hints and explanations. The book concludes with extensive vocabularies of words arranged according to subjects, presenting at a glance the principal terms relating to the several arts, trades, and professions.

That every French word is accompanied by as exact a pronunciation as can be repre- sented by corresponding English sounds, and vice versa. 10. That it contains a full vocabulary of the names of persons and places, mythological and classical, ancient and modern. 11. That the arrangement is the most convenient for reference that can be adopted. 12. That it is the most complete, accurate, and reliable dictionary of these languages published. From Washington Irving. As far as I have had time to examine it, it appears to me that Mr. Quackenbos, by his revision, correc- tions, and additions, has rendered the Paris Edition, already so excellent, the most complete and valuable lexicon now in print" From Wm. H. Pbescott. "In the copiousness of its vocabulary and its defini- tions, and in the great variety of idiomatic phrases and synonymes, it far exceeds any other French and English dictionary with which I am acquainted." From Theodore Fbelingotttsen. "At the least, the pains taken, the learning evinced, and the substantial improvements, show that you have lontributed to the student facilities in the study of the French for which you deserve their patronage and thanks." From Joen C. Spencee. " I already own a copy of Spiers 1 , published in Paris and Boston in 1S49; yours appears more compact, and yet in all respects equal to that, and in definition and pronunciation superior. Every friend of education, indeed every man of taste, must be highly gratified at the appearance of such noble fruits of your enter- prise." From the Professor of French in Loyola College, Baltimore. "The number of words embodied, the different meanings attached to them, both when isolated and when in phrase, and the happy choice of type for the convenience of the scholar, are advantages which will be sought for in vain elsewhere." 108 D.

M. 12mo. 315 pages. Price $1.50. The question, " What is the proper method of studying a foreign language ? " is one that has occupied the attention of some of the deepest thinkers. Of all who have ever written on this subject, M. Marcel, in his work, " The Study of Languages," has most nearly ap- proached the solution of the problem ; and we would advise both teachers and scholars, before commencing the study of a foreign language, carefully to peruse the book referred to, Avhich, having been written in a tongue foreign to the author, is in itself the very best proof of the correctness of the views developed on its pages. Self-evident though it seems to be that the proper function of grammar is to teach us to speak and write a language correctly, and that, consequently, before being able to do so, we must be able, at least to a certain degree, to speak and write, yet most of the methods now in use pursue the very opposite course, requiring the pupil to commit to memory grammati- cal rules, followed by isolated sentences so forced and unnatural as to render it apparent that they were made expressly as illustrative of those rules. The present work contains^ in sixty lessons, the fundamental principles of the German language ; and these are not embodied in set rules, but indicated at the head of, and de- veloped in, each lesson. This plan, however, does not of necessity render the book useless for those teachers who prefer the old system ; on the contrary, their convenience has been kept in view by the author in preparing the work, and the exercises will be found to offer ready illustrations of the rules of grammar, which must be given by the master as he pro- ceeds. The German, as a glance at the declensions of its nouns, pronouns, etc., and the conjuga- tions of its verbs, will show, is a highly-inflected language, giving the most complete exem- plification of case-ending afforded by any modern language, and this feature constitutes the chief difficulty encountered by the Englishs-peaking student. Much has been done, how- ever, in this work to lessen the difficulty, by treating the cases separately in separate lessons, and also in the order of their difficulty, namely : Nominative, Accusative, Genitive, Dative. As impression must precede expression, or, in other words, as the pupil must for a con- siderable length of time be engaged in learning to understand a foreign language when seeing and hearing it, before he can successfully attempt to speak and write it, the Heading Exer- cises added to each lesson are without exception in German. Nor, in going through the book for the first time, should the pupil be required to translate into German the English Exer- cises, which would then be too difficult, but they might be used by the teacher as oral exer- cises, giving the German version thereof to his scholars, and requiring of them to render the same into correct English. Another commendable feature, in our conception, is the placing of foot-notes for the Reading Exercises, instead of requiring the scholar to grope for words in a dictionary at the end of the book. For, to say nothing of the fact that the most numerous and the most im- portant words in every language (Verbs, Nouns, and Adjectives) require various translations, according 'to the connection in which they occur, and that these various meanings would have to be separately stated in a dictionary — thereby increasing the difficulty for the scholar in search for the correct one — experience teaches that comparatively few students of foreign languages can be induced to use dictionaries. 119 D.

The present edition of Gesenius' standard Hebrew Grammar lias been carefully translated from the seventeenth German edition, recently published after a careful revision by the learned Rodiger. In its present improved state, it embodies all that is known of Ilebrew philology. A course of grammatical exercises, to aid the learner in acquiring and applying a knowl- edge of the elementary principles of reading and inflection and in the analysis of forms, has been appended by Professor Conant. To these is added a Chrcstomathy, consisting of grammatical and exegetical notes on numerous reading-lessons selected from Scripture, suited to the wants of the student. Great pains have been taken to insure correctness in the text ; and, throughout the whole volume, nothing calculated to facilitate the learner's progress has been overlooked or omitted.

It is not only the most accurate and comprehensive Syriac Gram- mar yet compiled, but the clearest in its arrangement and explanations, and the best adapted to the student's wants. The translator has enhanced its value by the addition of copious exercises and an admirable Chrestomathy. The following notices will show the estimation in which this work is held bv our best scholars : — From J. G. Palfrey, D. D., formerly of Harvard University.

I shall be heartily glad to see an English transla- tion of it, and I have no doubt that such a work would greatly tend to promote what, by the way, is a most desirable object, the knowledge of the Syriac among our clergymen and theological students."

OLLENDORFF'S NEW METHOD OF LEARNING TO READ, WRITE, AND SPEAK THE ITALIAN LANGUAGE. With Additions and Corrections. Br E. FELIX FORESTI, LL. D. 12mo. 533 pages. Price $1.50. — KEY. Separate volume. Price $1.00. In Ollendorff' 6 grammars is for the first time presented a system by which the student can acquire a conversational knowledge of Italian. This will recommend them to practical students ; while at the same time there is no lack of rules and principles for those who would pursue a systematic grammatical course with the view of translating and writing the language. Prof. Greene's Introduction should be taken up by youthful classes, for whom it is specially designed, the more difficult parts of the course being left for the larger volume. The advanced work has been carefully revised by Prof. Foresti, who has made such emendations and additions as the wants of the country required. In many sections the services of an Italian teacher cannot be obtained ; the Ollendorff Course and Key will there 6upply the want of a master in the most satisfactory manner. From the United States Gazette. "The system of learning and teaching the living lan- guages by Ollendorff is so superior to all other modes, that in England and on the continent of Europe, scarce- ly any other is in use, in well-directed acfcdemies and other institutions of learning. To those who feel dis- posed to cultivate an acquaintance with Italian litera- ture, this work will prove invaluable, abridging, by an immense deal, the period commonly employed in studying the language." AN Elementary Grammar of the Italian Language, * PROGRESSIVELY ARRANGED FOR THE USE OF SCHOOLS AND COLLEGES. BY O. B. FONTANA. 12mo. 236 pp. $1.50. The object of this work is to present the language as spoken to-day, in its simplest garb, both theoretically and practically. The Grammar is divided into two parts, embracing Sixty Lessons and Sixty Exercises. The first part is exclusively given to rules indispensable to a general idea of the language ; the second is framed for those who are desirous of having an insight into its theory, and consists of synonyms, maxims, idioms, and figurative expressions. The Exercises of both parts are very regularly progressive, — and those of the second part are of course the most difficult. Some of them contain extracts from celebrated poems translated into plain prose, so that the pupil may compare his Italian translation with the original, which has been inserted for that purpose at the end of the book. Others are biographical sketches of the most prominent among the Italian writers ; by which means the pupil, whilst acquiring the language, may become familiar with the life and works of some of the classic Italian authors, such as Manzoni, Alfieri, Tasso, Petrarch, and the father of Italian language and literature, Dante Alighieri. 121 U.

In making this abridgment from the octavo edition, the author has constantly kept in view the wants of classes beginning the study of Spanish.

The object of the author is to make the Spanish language a living, speaking tongue to the learner ; and the method he adopts is that of nature. He begins with the simplest elements, and progressively advances, applying all former acquisitions as he proceeds, until the learner has mastered one of the most perfect languages of modern times. From the N. T. Journal of Commerce. "This is a good book, and well fitted for the purpo- ses for which it is designed. The Spanish language is one of great simplicity, and more easily acquired than any other modern tongue.

This is one of the best elementary Spanish Readers, not only for the purposes of self- Instruction, but also as a class-book for schools, that has ever been published. The con- tents are varied in style, including didactic, descriptive, colloquial, historical, and poetical extracts, drawn from the purest and most meritorious writers. The orthography conforms to that established by the Royal Academy. A full Vocabulary of all the words employed is appended, rendering a larger dictionary unnecessary.

The prose extracts in this volume are preceded by an historical account of the origin and progress of the Spanish Language, and a condensed, scholarlike treatise on its grammar ; the poetical selections are introduced with an essay on Spanish versification. Prepared in either case by the preliminary matter thus furnished, bearing directly on his work, the pupil enters intelligently on his task of translating. The extracts are brief, spirited, and enter- taining ; drawn mainly from writers of the present day, they are a faithful representation of the language as it is now written and spoken. The arrangement is progressive, speci- mens of a more difficult character being presented as the student becomes able to cope with them.

BY M. VELAZQUEZ DE LA CAD EN A. 12mo. 351 pages. Price $1.50. This book, being particularly intended for the use of beginners, has been prepared with three objects in view : first, to fui*nish the learner with pleasing and easy lessons, pro- gressively developing the beauties and difficulties of the Spanish language ; secondly, to enrich their minds with valuable knowledge ; and thirdly, to form their character, by in- stilling correct principles into their hearts. In order, therefore, to obtain the desired effects, the extracts have been carefully selected from those classic Spanish writers, both ancient and modern, whose style is generally admitted to be a pattern of elegance, combined with idiomatic purity and sound morality. 127 £>. APPLET ON £ CO:S EDUCATIONAL WORKS. Reciprocal Method for Learning Spanish or English, BY PROF. L . F . MANTILLA, OF THE UNIVERSITY OF TUB CITY OF NEW YORK. 12mo. 250 pages. Price $1.25. The special feature of this METHOD consists in teaching a Foreign Language by means of a continued comparison with the native tongue of the learner ; employing, for the expres- sion of any given idea, the pure idioms of each, with a view to obviate that unfortunate draw- back upon the study of other languages which is to be found in the almost universal loss of purity in the use of one's own. g Every lesson begins with an epigraph, containing, in a concise form, an example of all that is to be made a subject of instruction therein. Then follows an analytical examination of the phrase, and of the words in their* construction, their roots, and their derivatives. The exercises consist of sentences carefully chosen for the purpose of supplying the memory with worthy employment, and calculated to remind the pupil of his duties or of the principles of wisdom and experience. The exercises are interspersed with vocabularies and paragraphs for translations. A large part of the work is devoted to a carefully-selected collection of the idiomatic ex pressions of both languages, and of the most common and useful dialogues. It is hoped that this work may contribute to secure to students of Spanish the undi- minished purity of their own, and afford valuable aid to those who seek to translate, with truth and vigor, the works of Spanish writers.

Twenty years' experience in teaching Spanish, sometimes through the medium of one, sometimes of another method, has led the author to prepare and publish the COMBINED METHOD, the advantages of which are many — the first, that of presenting the verb as the first and principal part of speech, and the introductions of the others, not by chance, but in the logical and natural order in which they occur in discourse, whether written or spoken KEY TO SAME. 75 cents. 128 CATALOGO DE LOS LIBROS PUBLICADOS EN ESPANOL POR D.

APPLET ON & CO:S EDUCATIONAL WORKS, The Mastery of Languages; OR, THE ART OF SPEAKING LANGUAGES IDIOMATICALLY BY THOMAS PRENDERGAST. I- — HAND-BOOK OF THE MASTERY SERIES. II. — THE MASTERY SERIES.— FRENCH. III. — THE MASTERY SERIES. — GERMAN. IV. — THE MASTERY SERIES. — SPANISH. Price 50 cents each. The Mastery System is based upon the principles of the natural process pursued by chil- dren in learning foreign languages, when they associate with foreigners after they have learned to speak their mother-tongue. They are impelled by instinct to imitate and repeat the chance sentences which they hear spoken around them ; and, afterward, to interchange and trans- pose the words so as to form new combinations. In the process of nature there is no teach- ing, but children learn to speak foreign tongues idiomatically without instruction of any kind — without even the aid of an interpreter. In the Manuals this process is systematized. As the sentences and their Variations have been composed by Prof. J. Duprat Merigon, B. A., the fullest reliance may be placed on the purity of the models set before the learner. From Prof. E. M. Gallattdet, of National Deaf- \ Madms Athenaum. Mute College. u Curious and interesting book, clear and lively u The resnlts which crowned the labor of the 1 in its treatment. Fall of useful hints. As a rule, first week were so astonishing, that he fears to de- tail them fully, lest doubts 6hould be raised as to his credibility. But this much be does not hesi- tate to claim, that after a study of less than two weeks he was able to sustain conversation in the newly-acquired language on a great variety of sub- jects." Daily News. u This is a book written with understanding. It is not, like many other treatises, a favorite idea, inflated by all manner of devices and accommoda- tions to the bulk of a volume ; it is a system care- fully and philosophically deduced from the author's own experience and observation." London Review. " This system possesses many excellent fea- tures." Athenamm. "This book is very full, and deserves attention ; its pages are crowded with suggestive remarks. The writer is entitled to the attention of philolo- gists and teachers of language." Examiner. ••Excellent in the main, and worthy of atten- tion from every one interested in the 'Mastery of Languages.' Set forth with much lucid explana- tion, and many skilful arguments." the older the facts, the greater the originality. It therefore appears to us that Mr. Prendergast de- serves the highest credit for the rare novelty with which he has invested a thoroughly trite theme. He works out the leading principles with the most rigorous and unflinching logic, to their ultimate conclusions. Nothing can really be simpler or more practical than the principle upon which it is based." Female Missionary Ldelligencer. "We can recommend this method from per- sonal experience, having had the pleasure of try- ing it ourselves. Two hundred words of a lan- guage previously unknown, combined in idiomatic sentences, were duly mastered in the way pro- posed, by studying them five minutes at a time, five or six times a day, and, when permission was given to refer to a grammar, great was the aston- ishment as well as delight felt, on discovering that the rules of syntax were known already." The Header. " If Mr. Prendergast will publish a selection of sentences, with specimens of their manipulation, and an abridged table of inflections, he may easily find readers who will give his theory a fair trial, and we are strongly disposed to believe that the result of such an experiment would be a very gen- eral adoption of the piinciples on which the 'Mas- tery of Languages ' is based." 138 D.
