For the Use of Schools and Colleges. Containing the most recent Discoveries and Facts, compiled from the best Authorities. With nearly 400 Illustrations. 12mo, Sheep. 75 cents.

An admirable manual for students of almost any age, containing nearly four hundred illustrations. A clear and general view of the great features of the science is here given in the smallest possible compass; and by way of making the study more attractive to the beginner, the physical properties of air and water are treated of before the laws and phenomena of motion, a novelty of arrangement which appears to us highly judicious.-Christian Inquirer.

Renwick's First Principles of Chemistry;

Being a familiar Introduction to the Study of that Science. With Questions. Engravings. 18mo, half Sheep. 75 cents.

The principle by which the author has been governed was to adinit few, if any, hard terms in the text, supplying their place with as plain language and intelligible explanations as possible. In a word, more information or instruction will be found in this little work than can be collected from many publications of greater pretensions and of four times its bulk.

Being a familiar Introduction to the Study of that Science. With Questions. Engravings. 18mo, half Roan. 75 cents.

This work contains treatises on the sciences of statics and hydrostatics, comprising the whole theory of equilibrium. It is intended for the use of those who have no knowledge of mathematics, or who have made but little progress in their mathematical reading. Throughout the whole, an attempt has been made to bring the principles of exact science to bear upon questions of practical application in the arts, and to place the discussion of them within the reach of those connected with manufactures

Potter's Political Economy:

Its Objects, Uses, and Principles; considered with reference to the Condition of the American People. With a Summary for the Use of Students. 18mo, half Roan, 50 cents; Muslin, 45 cents. Two objects have been kept in view in preparing this work; first, to provide a treatise for general readers adapted to the times, and especially to the wants of our country, which should not be encumbered unnecessarily with controversial matters, or with abstract discussions; secondly, to furnish a cheap and convenient manual for seminaries, in which larger and more expensive text-books could not well be used

(A new Edition, with Additions and Improvements.)

We have been long familiar with this excellent volume, and do not conceive it possible for any improvement to be made on it. To those who have never had an opportunity of judging of its merits, we would say, by all means procure a copy, for there is nothing like it in the whole range of elementary school-books.-Commercial Adv.

Adapted for the Use of Morse's, Woodbridge's, Worcester's, Mitchell's, Field's, Malte Brun's, Smith's, Olney's, Goodrich's, and other Collections of Maps.

These Questions are designed to simplify the study of this important science, by means of the useful and important process of classification. They may be used without subjecting a class of pupils to the expense frequently attendant on a required uniformity of maps. These Questions are already used in some of the leading schoo's in New England.

Parker's Outlines of General History. 12mo, Sheep. $1 00.

The object of this work is to present the rudiments of history, ancient and modern, together with aids for the study of the philosophy of history.

The author has earned already considerable literary fame by his very useful volume, "AiJs to English Composition."-Commercial Advertiser.

Salkeld's Roman and Grecian Antiquities, Including a Sketch of Ancient Mythology. With Maps, &c. 12mo, Muslin. 37 cents.

Most of the works in use which treat of the antiquities of Greece and Rome are sc copious and so intermingled with Greek or Latin quotations, that, though they may be highly valuable to the classical scholar as works of reference, they are rendered less useful to the classical pupil as common text-books. The present volume is designed for general use in our common schools, but it is believed to be so comprehensive and elevated in its character, as to be acceptable in academies and high schools as well as private use.

I have never met with a work professing to teach any foreign language which combines so many excellent qualities, and is so well adapted for all classes of learners.

Prof. Loomis has endeavored to combine the excellences of Euclid and Legendre, following the arrangement of the latter and the more logical method of demonstration of the former.
