selves, in fact. "an Epitome of the Arts and Sciences." The style
!n which thew are written is at once clear and simple, conveying in-
struction to.the youthful mind in a manner unattainable by the
use of more elaborate and comprehensive Works. In shc:t, while
they fix on the mind the leading facts in History, and the funda-
mental principles of Science, the memory is relieved from the
burden of retaining a mass of minutia' with which larger books
necessarily abound. They consist of separate Catechisms on the
following subjects:—
Agriculture First Catechism Mental Thilomphy
Algebra, two Pans General Knowledge Alineralogy
Ancient II istory Geography Modern History

The Proprietors of these Publications respectfully submit the
following opinion of the Lord Chancellor of Lnglaud (the especial
guardian of British youth), as delivered 1.1 him in the Court of
Chancery, July 27, IMO:
Mr. Wetherell haying applied to the Lord Chancellor to grant an
injunction to restrain certain Booksellers from printing, publishing,
and selling pirated Editions of " Pinnacles Catechisms," the ori-
ginals of which he denominated "useful compendiums of instruc-
tion for the ,juvenile classes of society." his Lordship, on compar.
ing the spurious copies with the genuine works, granted the injure_
Lion ; and, after having attentively examined the latter, was pleased
to make the following important observation on them:—" It
appears to me that adults might be greatly benefited by the in-
struction these Books contain, as well as the younger branches of
society."
The Publishers respectfully beg leave to observe, that indepen-
dent of the high encomium above-mentioned, " Pinnock's Cate-
chisms" have met with the geteral approbation of a most nume-
rous and respectable class of intelligent teachers. They need only
to be seen to ensure their universal adoption ; the information
they contain In so small a compass being unparalleled, and the
style in which they are written combining ease, conciseness, and
perspicuity.
'• Paring led to look into these Works, we have been pleasingly
surprised at the variety and accuracy of the infornustion they con•
taro, within so small a compass, and in so excellent a form ; and
we must say, that more convenient, accurate, well-arranged, and
proper Publications, were never submitted to general observation."
