EXTRACTS FROM CRITICAL NOTICES.

GEOGRAPHY GENERALIZED.

"So much information, of so high a character, in so small a compass, and at so low a price, has rarely if ever appeared before."-- Spectator.

"It is particularly entitled to commendation, as more bad books have been written on geography than on any other subject. Mr. Sullivan treats geography as a SCIENCE, which, like all sciences, must be taught on the principles of classification and comparison. The basis of his classification is what may be termed the mathei aties of geography, and he therefore begins with explaining in clea mule language the form, motions, and magnitude of the earth. ai. e comprehendea without some knowledge of the physical gravitation, &c., taking reach of ordinary obse

"These little works exhibit the same.o lity of view, grounded upon the principles of the subject and the PHILOSOPHY OF TEACHING, which distinguish Mr. Sullivan's useful publications. - Spectator.

THE DICTIONARY OF DERIVATIONS.

"This admirable little book-which no family, where a true knowledge of language is cultivated, should be without."-Spectator.

"A work as admirable in its execution as it is novel in design."-- Scotsman. A DICTIONARY OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE.

"This most complete and admirable work only requires to be known in order to make it a household book."-Saunders.

THE LITERARY CLASS BOOK.

"A volume well worthy of Professor Sullivan's reputation. It is sure to be largely read."- English Journal of Education.

"Dr. Sullivan's school-books, seven aber, are distinguished by one great principle-that of simplifying the subject taught, and of bringing out, in a few plain and striking rules, the great leading ideas of the science in hand."-Dublin University Magazine, August, 1856.

in fact, Dr. Sullivan's school-books have been Jinly instrumental in making a name for the system of Education pursued in the National Schools."-The Irish Quarterly Review, for January, 1858.
