lJ SYSTE3I combines expeditiim with a thorough knowled
of the instrument. The owe with which that truly graceful and
pleasing accomplishment is acquired sufficiently accounts tor its
universal adoption in preference to any other instrument. It is •
powerful stimulus to the stud, of the ()MUNI Flute, that an per-
son may. in short time, ana with comparatively little difficulty
attain such a proficiency as to be able to play an accompaniment
with a Lady at the Piano-forte, or to take a part in a Quartets or
Overture. Time and Tone, the ground-work so indispensably
requisite to constitute the finished Amateur, are frequently ncg-
kcted : to these 3lr. Galbreath particularly devotes his attention ;
without them the Student will fall far short of being a correct Per-
former.

I sCIENCES, price Ninepence each, are intended to fora the basis of e...cry branch of useful knowledge, and are of them-
'Arcs, in fact, .• an Epitome of the Arts and Sciences." The style
in which they arc writtt:t is at once clear and simple, conveying in.
structinn to the youthful mind in a manner unattainable by the
use of more elaborate and comprehensive Works. In short, while
they fix on the mind the leading facts in History, and the funda-
mental principle of Science, the memory is relieved from the
burden of retaining a mass of minutia with which larger books
.reeessrily abound. They consist of separate Catechisms on the
