selves, in fact, "an Epitome of the Arts and sciences." The style
in which they 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 Arorks. In short, while
they fix on the mind the leading facts in Ilistor►. 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 separrte Catechisms on the

The Pmprimors of these Publications rexpectfully submit the
following opinion of the Laid Chalicenor of England (the especial
guardian of British youth), as delivered by him in the Court of
Chancery,

Air. applied to the Lord Chancellor to grant an
injunction to restrain certain Booksellers from printing, publishing,
and selling pirated Editions of " Pinnacle's Catechisms," the ori-
ginals of which he denominated "useful compendiums cf instrue-
don for the juvenile classes of society." his Lordship, on compar-
ing the spurious copies with the genuine works, granted the injunc-
tion ; 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.
atruction these Books contain, Ls well as the younger branches of
society."

The Publishers respectfully beg leave to observe, that indepen-
dent of the high encomium above-mentioned, " Pinnoek's Cate.
chums" have met with the geteral approbation of a most nunie.
taus 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 arc written combining ease, conciseness, and
perspicuity.

" Being led to look into these Works, we have been pleasingly
surprised at the variety and accuracy of the information they con •
min, within 110 small a commit, and in an excellent afu ; end
we must tar, that more convenient. accurate, welLarrangeti, and
proper Publications, were never submitted to general observation."

nally resembling the above, are circulated throughout the kingdom.

the title-pages.
