OBJECTIVELY PRESENTED, and designed for the use of Primary Classes in Grammar Schools. Academies, &c. In Cloth, 12mo, 156 pages. Price $1. This little book is constructed for the purpose of instructing large classes, and with reference to being used also by teachers who have themselves no knowledge of Geometry. It is held that this science should be taught in all Primary and Grammar Schools for the same reasons that aply to all other branches. The elements of Geometry are much easier to learn, and are of more value when learned, than advanced Arithmetic; and if a boy is to leave school with merely a Grammar-school education, he would be better prepared for the active duties of life with a little Arithmetic, and some Geometry, than with more Arith. metic, and no Geometry Copies will be sent by mail for examination on receipt of seventy fivè cts.

These Pens combine elasticity of action with smoothness of point not found in other pens, and are a nearer approximation to the real SWAN QUILL than any. thing hitherto invented. They are used in all the principal Commercial Collegia in the United States, and are pronounced by Accountants, Teachers, Officials and Correspondents, the BEST PENS MANUFACTURED. We make Fourteen Numbers of Pens, differing in flexibility and fineness of point, adapted to every style of writing. The subscribers claim a superiority for their CELEBRATED SPENCERIAN PENS on the following grounds: 1st. Durability and Perfection of Action, owing to the great care used in their manufacture by skilled workmen of tried experience, and to the peculiar process of Carbonizing which gives to the points a more perfect degree of hardness than can be found in the generality of Steel Pens. 24. They are endorsed, and what is more, constantly used by all the best Teachers of Penmanship in this country. 3d. Used exclusively in all the first-class Commercial Colleges of the United States and Canadas. 4th. Used by Cashiers, Book-keepers, Tellers, &c., in the Principal Banking Houses from the Atlantic to the Pacific. 5th. Thousands of the Pens are annually used by Government officials in the several departments at Washington, and by the majority of Custom-House officers throughout the States. 6th. Their reputation is so firmly established that every first-class Dealer in Stationery keeps them for sale. 7th. One of the strongest proofs of their great popularity, and undeniable confession to their superiority is that no less than TEN FIRMS have manufactured, or caused to be made Pens similar in style under different names, for which they claim the same qualities and favor as the still unapproached Spencerian. CAUTION. The popular and unexcelled “SPENCERIAN STEEL PENS" have been imitated, and altogether inferior articles have been made by an unprincipled Ameri can manufacturer, and sold in some sections of the country, disappointing purchasers and damaging our reputation and interests. We therefore CAUTION Booksellers aud Stationers against purchasing ANY "Spencerian" Pens which have not our initials, “I. P. B. & Co.,” or, “Ivisou. • Phinney & Co" on each pen.
