THE extended and liberal views of modern Eda cation, as well as the necessity, in some cases, of substitu ting other subjects, in place of the dead Languages, in Schools where these languages are less attended to than formerly, has led to the publication of the undermentioned new and improved Books on subjects of general interest and indispensible utility.--. They hate already been introduced, with the happiest effects, into many of the most considerable Foundation Schools, and into the best private Academies ; and it is to be presumed that they have only to be generally seen to be as generally adopted. It is scarcely necessary to state that they are practically adapted to the business of a School, and are so plain and simple in their treatment of the several subjects, as to require little or no previous study on the part of Tutors. 1.
