fitting them for the duties of after life. The school, the infallible test of the merits of a class-book, proves that its proper use need only be witnessed to receive the approbation of every friend of thorough education.

Extract of a Letter from the Hon. B. Everitt Smith.

I doubt whether the ingenuity of man can ever devise a work better adapted to the purpose avowed by the author. I arose from the perusal of the American Manual, more deeply impressed than ever with my responsibility as a citizen, and with the absolute importance of fostering sound virtue and political morality.

From L. T. Cowell, Esq., late Teacher of Mathematics, Ypsilanti Seminary, Michigan.

Having carefully examined the American Manual, by President Burleigh, A. M., and having used it as a text-book (the best test of its merits), I deem it a work of superior merit. As a Commentary on the Constitution of the United States, it is of high intrinsic worth. The directions upon the method of instruction-the subject, the style, the marginal exercises, the appendix (a key to the whole work), the statistical tables, and the questions at the foot of each page, fully meet the wants of the pupil and teacher. The points treated of, the language, and the plan of the work, make it complete. It is of the highest order. Its merits commend it to universal approbation.

SMILEY'S ARITHMETIC;

Or, The New Federal Calculator, in Dollars and Cents.

This work contains, among other very important improvements, Questions on the Rules and Theory of Arithmetic, which are considered, by Teachers generally, very conducive to the improvement of the pupil. Although a prejudice exists among some Teachers in favour of the old works on Arithmetic, yet the very liberal patronage which this work has received, must be considered as decisive evidence of the high estimation in which it is held by most of the instructors of youth. Upwards of

FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND COPIES

have been printed and sold. The sums being altogether in Dollars and Cents, gives it a decided preference over any other Arithmetic in use. The most distinguished Teachers in our city pronounce it superior to any other similar work; therefore the publishers sincerely hope this useful improvement will overcome the prejudice that many teachers have to introducing new works-particularly those preceptors who wish to discharge their duty faithfully to parent

and child.

A KEY TO THE ABOVE ARITHMETIC,

In which all the examples necessary for a learner are wrought at large, and also solutions given of all the various rules. Designed principally to facilitate the labour of Teachers, and assist such as have not the opportunity of a tutor's aid.

SMILEY'S

ARITHMETICAL RULES AND TABLES, FOR YOUNG BEGINNERS.

This is the best work of the kind now in print; but teachers are parti. cularly requested to examine for themselves.

PRACTICAL QUESTIONS,

ADAPTED TO THE USE OF ANY ARITHMETIC :

BY J. BARTLETT BURLEIGH, LL.D.

This little volume should be in every school. It is unlike any other work before the public; pupils engage in its exercises with the enthusiasm of play, and are thoroughly fitted by it for the active duties of life.

A Valuable and Necessary Assistant to the Study of Natural Philosophy in Schools and Academies.

MAYO'S

MECHANICS AND NATURAL PHILOSOPHY.

ILLUSTRATIONS OF NATURAL PHILOSOPHY, IN SIX LARGE PLATES,

MOUNTED ON PASTEBOARD, AND CONTAINING NEARLY 100 FIGURES.

ARRANGED AND EDITED

BY W. S. MAYO, M.D.

A well-selected and well-engraved set of illustrations. They may not supersede an apparatus, when an apparatus can be had; but in all ordinary cases, and in all schools where the elements of natural philosophy are taught by the aid of nothing but the little, miserable illustrations in the books, these plates will unquestionably prove of the greatest service to the pupil, and very much facilitate the labor of the teacher.

C. W. HACKLEY, D. D.,

Professor of Mathematics and Astronomy in Columbia College.

I have examined a set of plates about to be published by Lippincott, Grambo & Co., and believe that they may be very useful in illustrating the elementary principles of Natural Philosophy.

JAMES RENWICK,

Prof. of Natural and Experimental Philosophy in Columbia College.

LIPPINCOTT, GRAMBO & CO.'S PUBLICATIONS.

I have examined the Philosophical Diagrams prepared by Dr. Mayo. They are, in my opinion, very accurate and, well arranged, and cannot but prove highly useful for elementary instruction in the various branches of Natural Philosophy. It affords me pleasure to recommend them.

GRIMSHAW'S

LADIES' LEXICON AND PARLOR COMPANION:

CONTAINING

NEARLY EVERY WORD IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE,

AND EXHIBITING THE PLURALS OF NOUNS AND THE PARTI CIPLES OF VERBS:

One volume, 18mo.

THE GENTLEMAN'S LEXICON,

OR POCKET DICTIONARY.

BY WILLIAM GRIMSHAW, Esq.
One volume, 18mo.

They differ from all preceding works of the kind in this, that they exhibit the plurals of all nouns which are not formed by the mere addition of the letters, and also the participles of every verb now generally used; and, unless accompanied by a particular caution, no word has been admitted which is not now of polite or popular use; and no word has been excluded which is required either in epistolary composition or conversation."

In giving the above extract, we take occasion to say, that Teachers will find the "Ladies' and Gentleman's Lexicons" admirably adapted to take the place, with advantage to their pupils, of the different works recently put into their hands under the name of Expositors, &c.

The above work has been introduced as a class-book into many of our academies and schools, with great approbation.
