A. S. BARNES & COMPANY,

SCHOOL BOOK PUBLISHERS,

NEW YORK AND CHICAGO,

The List.—The New National Series of School and College Text Books comprises nearly 400 different volumes.

The Aim.—Practical utility and the best results.

When you want a spade you buy a spade, not a parlor ornament with ivory handle and Damascus steel. Experience tells you that for utility the best is the cheapest! So in the selection of school books, the best books are made to be used. They are the outcome of faithful work of practical teachers in the school-room.

The following authors of the National Series will be recognized the world over for their well-known services in the school-room.

James Monteith, J. Dorman Steele, J. M. B. Sill,
Charles Davies, Samuel W. Clark, Alphonso Wood,
Joseph Ficklin, Andrew Peabody, J. Madison Watson.

These men have produced the best Readers, Spellers, Geographies, Arithmetics, Histories, Grammars, Science and Modern Language Text Books. Each one of them has served a long apprenticeship in the school-room. In selecting, therefore, be sure to ask for

BARNES’ NEW NATIONAL READERS.

In five numbers. Perfectly graded. The educational gems of the decade. Universally approved by teachers and school officers for typographical beauty and practical utility. Prices, 20c., 35c., 50c., 70c. and 90c.

BARNES’ SCHOOL GEOGRAPHIES.

In two books. Prof. Monteith devotes his entire time to this work, and has produced two working manuals which contains more valuable features in the same space than any other author. Separate editions for different States. Monteith’s Boys’ and Girls’ Atlas (for oral instruction), 50c.

MONTEITH’S NEW PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY.

This subject is too apt to be neglected, but the fault has been with the text books. Here is a book which gives the latest view of the whole subject adequate treatment in the briefest space and most entertaining manner. Price, $1.00.

BARNES’ NEW ARITHMETICS.

In two books. This series is the work of Prof. Joseph Ficklin and others, and may be said to represent the outgrowth of our previous mathematical publications by Charles Davies, William G. Peck, etc. They present the clearest possible course of instruction, giving a minimum of theory with a maximum of practice. They are very widely approved. Prices, elementary, 35c.; national, 75c.

BARNES’ BRIEF HISTORY SERIES.

The United States, France, Greece, ancient peoples, mediæval and modern peoples, and the General History of the world, are treated in separate volumes, all of moderate size, profusely but judiciously illustrated, and skillfully arranged with the necessities of the class room constantly in view. They have been the models upon which other subsequent publications have been made, but are still unrivaled and alone. They are more widely introduced in some sections than all other series combined.

STEELE’S SCIENCE TEXTS.

Seven volumes. Each volume on a separate subject, viz.: Philosophy, Chemistry, Astronomy, Geology, Zoology, Botany and Physiology. No one has ever succeeded in awakening a love for science in young minds equal to Steele. His plan is scientific and treatment popular. In each branch he has had the co-operation of specialists.

HYGIENE AND PHYSIOLOGY.

A law requiring the study of Physiology (with special reference to the effects of alcohol and narcotics on the human body), in all schools and all grades, has been lately passed in very many States and Territories. To meet the requirements of this law, we have issued, with the indorsement of a host of Educators and the Superintendent of Scientific Instruction of the W. C. T. U., the following text books:

I. Child’s Health Primer. For the youngest children. Cloth, 12mo. Illustrated. 40c.
II. Hygiene for Young People. For intermediate grades. Cloth, 12mo. Illustrated. 60c.
III. Steele’s Hygienic Physiology. For high schools, academies and colleges. 12mo, Cloth. Illustrated. $1. (The same, abridged, 50c.)

This series has already been adopted by State boards of education (Vermont, Michigan, Kentucky, Delaware, North Carolina, Oregon, etc.), and is rapidly being taken by counties, cities and towns throughout the United States. Begin with the rising generation.

WORMAN’S MODERN LANGUAGES.

French, German and Spanish are here taught by the natural method. The primary books of this series furnish the best possible introduction to the study of these languages. Price, 50c. each.

OTHER SUBJECTS

include Barnes’ Drawing Books, Sill’s Grammar, Bardeen’s Rhetoric, Searing’s Virgil, Watson’s Spellers, Davies’ Mathematics, Jenkins’ Dictionary, Wood’s Botanies, Cleveland’s Literature, Boyd’s Poets, Jepson’s Music Reader, Martin’s Civil Government, Janet’s Morals, etc., etc.

IMPROVED

UPRIGHT PIANOS

With their Improved Method of Stringing.

PATENTED JULY 24, 1883.

CHARACTERIZED BY

BRIGHTEST, PUREST TONES, GREATEST DURABILITY, IMPROVED METHOD OF STRINGING.

The Strings being directly secured to the iron frame by metal fastenings will not require tuning one-quarter as often as Pianos on the old system.

This new mode of piano construction, invented by Mason & Hamlin in 1882, has been fully proved, many excellent experts pronouncing it the “greatest improvement made in pianos of the century.”

Warrant.—Each piano will be accompanied by the fullest warrant. Determined to achieve the very highest reputation for their pianofortes, should defect develop itself in any one, the Company will be more eager to correct it than the purchaser can be to have them.

Pianos can be rented, if preferred, at moderate cost, with privilege of purchase.

Rev. Geo. A. Gordon.

“Dr Robinson has been, of all our hymn and tune book makers, the most successful.”

—Rev. Lyman Abbott, D.D.

“Laudes Domini is one of the latest, and one of the very best of the many good hymn-books produced in the present generation, a book as nearly perfect as that most eminent of all hymn book makers, Dr. Charles S. Robinson, can make one.”—The Congregationalist.

Laudes Domini stickers

“If we were conducting a ‘gospel service’ of many days’ continuance in any church having this hymnal, we would not care to introduce special hymn-books”.—Rev. Dr. Geo. F. Pentecost, in ‘Words and Weapons’.

Responsive Reading Services are bound with Laudes Domini when desired.

Dr. Robinson’s Hymn and Tune Books are not experiments. Churches adopting them are never disappointed.

“SPIRITUAL SONGS FOR SOCIAL WORSHIP” never fails to give satisfaction in the Prayer Meeting.

The Foundation makes no representations concerning the copyright status of any work in any country other than the United States.
1.E. Unless you have removed all references to Project Gutenberg:
1.E.1. The following sentence, with active links to, or other immediate access to, the full Project Gutenberg License must appear prominently whenever any copy of a Project Gutenberg work (any work on which the phrase “Project Gutenberg” appears, or with which the phrase “Project Gutenberg” is associated) is accessed, displayed, performed, viewed, copied or distributed:
This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere in the United States and most other parts of the world at no cost and with almost no restrictions whatsoever.

  • • You pay a royalty fee of 20% of the gross profits you derive from the use of Project Gutenberg works calculated using the method you already use to calculate your applicable taxes. The fee is owed to the owner of the Project Gutenberg trademark, but he has agreed to donate royalties under this paragraph to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation. Royalty payments must be paid within 60 days following each date on which you prepare (or are legally required to prepare) your periodic tax returns. Royalty payments should be clearly marked as such and sent to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation at the address specified in Section 4, “Information about donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation.”

1.E.9. If you wish to charge a fee or distribute a Project Gutenberg™ electronic work or group of works on different terms than are set forth in this agreement, you must obtain permission in writing from the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the manager of the Project Gutenberg™ trademark. Contact the Foundation as set forth in Section 3 below.
1.F.
1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread works not protected by U.S. copyright law in creating the Project Gutenberg™ collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg™ electronic works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain “Defects,” such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by your equipment.
1.F.2. LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the “Right of Replacement or Refund” described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project Gutenberg™ trademark, and any other party distributing a Project Gutenberg™ electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal fees. YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH 1.F.3. YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE.
1.F.3. LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a written explanation to the person you received the work from. If you received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with your written explanation. The person or entity that provided you with the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a refund. If you received the work electronically, the person or entity providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund. If the second copy is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further opportunities to fix the problem.
1.F.4. Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you ‘AS-IS’, WITH NO OTHER WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.
1.F.5. Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages. If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by the applicable state law. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.
1.F.6. INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone providing copies of Project Gutenberg™ electronic works in accordance with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production, promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg™ electronic works, harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees, that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any Project Gutenberg work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg
Project Gutenberg is synonymous with the free distribution of electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from people in all walks of life.
Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg’s goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg collection will remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure and permanent future for Project Gutenberg and future generations.

Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission of increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the widest array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS.
The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate.
While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who approach us with offers to donate.
International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate.
Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg electronic works
Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and distributed Project Gutenberg eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
Project Gutenberg eBooks are often created from several printed editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
Most people start at our website which has the main PG search facility: www.gutenberg.org.
This website includes information about Project Gutenberg, including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
