MITCHELL'S AMERICAN SYSTEM OF STANDARD SCHOOL GEOGRAPHY,

IN A SERIES; ADAPTED TO THE PROGRESSIVELY DEVELOPING CAPACITIES OF YOUTH.

Mitchell's School Series has been wholly or partly introduced into the Public and Private Schools of the principal Cities and Towns of the United States.

Mitchell's Primary Geography.

An easy Introduction to the Study of Geography; designed for the Instruction of Children in Schools and Families; Illustrated by 120 Engravings and 14 coloured Maps. By S. Augustus Mitchell. Price, 38 cents.

This work has been introduced into the Public Schools of Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, New Orleans, St. Louis, Louisville, Cincinnati, Pittsburg, and many other cities and towns in the United States, and is in general use in the Private Schools throughout the whole country.

Mitchell's Intermediate or Secondary Geography.

In this work, the maps and the entire reading matter are printed together, and form one convenient quarto volume.

The whole is so arranged, that the maps, the description of each country, and the questions dependent on them, are placed generally on the same page, or on pages directly opposite, enabling pupils to refer readily from one to the other, rendering the use of two separate books unnecessary, and affording the required amount of instruction in a more portable and convenient form.

This publication corresponds, in style of embellishment, colouring, arrangement of lessons, and general scope of composition, to the other Geographical Works of Mr. Mitchell, so as to form a connecting link in the Series in progress, of which the Primary Geography, the School Geography and Atlas, and the Ancient Geography and Atlas, already published, form a part. Price, 75 cents.

Mitchell's School Geography.

A System of Modern Geography; comprising a Description of the present State of the World, and its five great Divisions. Embellished with numerous Engravings, and illustrated by an Atlas of 28 Maps, drawn and engraved for the work. Second revised edition. By S. Augustus Mitchell. Price, $1 12½.

From the Teachers of Public Schools in the City of New York.

We have examined "Mitchell's School Geography," and the Atlas that accompanies it, with considerable care, and must give it the preference to any work of the kind with which we are acquainted. Its merits are numerous,—the definitions are remarkably plain and concise,—the exercises are copious and important, and the descriptive department is luminous and correct. The divisions of the American Continent are represented and described as they really exist at the present time, and the gross mis-statements generally found in school Geographies are corrected. The typographical execution is uncommonly neat and distinct. Indeed the Atlas is a model of the kind, and actually teems with information. The Geography is embellished with some hundreds of neat and well-executed engravings, which illustrate and greatly enhance the value of the work.

A good system of Ancient Geography, in the English language, drawn from authentic sources, with cuts illustrative of Ancient customs, places, temples, and other buildings and remarkable events, accompanied with a complete set of Maps of the World as known to the ancients; Asia Minor, Greece, Italy, the Roman Empire; the world as known to the Israelites, a Map of Canaan, with part of Egypt, and the route of the Israelites through the Desert; plans of Ancient Rome, Jerusalem, &c., was very much wanted by teachers of Sabbath Schools, and the members of Bible Classes; and such a one, so far as we are able to judge, we are happy to say, is now presented to the public in a very attractive form. The cuts in the Geography are exceedingly well done, and the Maps in the Atlas are equally well engraved, and equally well printed.—New York Christian Advocate.

Mitchell's Biblical and Sabbath School Geography.

This work, with appropriate Maps and embellishments, is now in progress, and will be published early in the ensuing season. Though hitherto greatly needed, no book of the kind proposed, suitable for the instruction of younger pupils in families and sabbath schools, has yet appeared. The attention of the publishers has been recently called to the subject, by the suggestions of gentlemen deeply interested in price and dimensions, illustrating the geography of the Holy Land, together with that of the other regions mentioned in Scripture, specially adapted to the end proposed, should be published.

For the basis of the proposed work, Part Second of Mitchell's Ancient Geography, to which it is similar in scope and design, will be adopted. As in that treatise, besides the requisite geographical notices proper to the subject, such historical incidents connected therewith will be interwoven with the narrative, as will render the local descriptions more interesting, and an examination of the various texts referred to will doubtless enable pupils to acquire a more distinct understanding of the geography and history of the sacred volume.

Mitchell's Atlas of Outline Maps.

An accompaniment to the School Atlas. Possessing all the advantages to be derived from Map-drawing, with a great saving of time. Price, 34 cents.

The Atlas to accompany the above will contain not less than 30 Maps, constructed particularly for the work, and designed to correspond with and illustrate it in the most precise manner.

GREENE'S ANALYSIS.

A TREATISE ON THE STRUCTURE OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE; or the Analysis and Classification of Sentences and their Component Parts; with Illustrations and Exercises, adapted to the Use of Schools. By Samuel S. Greene, A.M., Principal of the Phillips' Grammar School, Boston. Philadelphia, 1848. Price, 45 cts. This work has already reached the sixth edition in the space of four months.

From the Christian Review.

We like the book much—it is just what is wanted in our Grammar Schools; and if accompanied by an abridgement, for the younger pupils, which the author proposes in his preface to prepare, will leave but little to be desired for the purposes of ordinary instruction in Grammar, in our schools. The plan is simple, and is developed with great consistency and logical ability.

Copy of a Letter from Mr. Elbridge Smith, Principal of the Cambridge High School.

Dear Sir—I have examined with great pleasure the Grammar which you did me the honour to send me. I have no hesitation in saying that I consider it the best English Grammar in existence. This, I am aware, some will regard as extravagant praise. I am not, however, alone in my opinion. Indeed, I know of no one, who has given attention to the subject, who is not of the same opinion.

Greene's First Lessons in English Grammar,

Based upon the Construction and Analysis of Sentences: designed as an Introduction to the Analysis.

A few testimonials are subjoined:—

City of Boston—In School Committee.

Ordered, That Greene's First Lessons in Grammar take the place of Allen H. Weld's Abridgment, subject to the conditions prescribed by the regulations.

Attest: S. F. M'CLEARY, Secretary.

From M. F. Cowderey, late Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Ohio State Teachers' Association, and President of the Northwestern Educational Society.

I, and some of my friends, Teachers in this State, have given the work our examination, and we think so highly of it that we shall use it ourselves, and urge its general introduction into the Schools of Ohio.

These books are introduced in the Public Schools of Boston, Cincinnati, St. Louis, Vicksburg, and into many towns in New York, Ohio, and other States.
