" The execution of this work, as respects typography and ar-
rangement, is admirable and attractive ; the wood cuts arc of un-
common excellence. Here is that specific kind of literature for
youth, combining information with amusement, which is adapted to
counteract the taste for silly tales, awaken a laldable curiosity, and
gratify an intelligent youth in a manner and to an extent which
mere fiction never tan."

of One Hundred Cuts. Price 7s. 6d. in fancy boards.
" These volumes by Peter Parley are now universally admitted
into every family, and particularly among Quakers, whose method
of using them is interesting: one of the children reads some inte-
resting fact, the rest sit still and hear ; sometimes they are requested
to repeat the substance of their reading verbally (by word of mouth),
at others they write it on slates. Thus by these means a habit is
formed of attending to what they hear and read—a habit of great
importance, but very much neglected. In this way they cultivate
the faculties of attention and memory. And to relate a story in th7s
way, which we have heard or read, what is it but learning to corn •
pose? More than all, they learn to think. And if there be any
.one
thing wh
tihink should be urged upon the young again and again, it is—

" The recent boisterous weather, and. its calamitous results on
our shores, make us take up this volume in the hope of soothing our
anxiety for those whose march is on the mountain waves, and
home upon the deep.' The charm of its graphic descriptions and
fascinating tales fell on us with all the power of enchantment. It
is a lively little volume, well adapted for the instruction and amuse-
ment of children."

5. TALES ABOUT ANCIENT AND MODERN GREECE.
Embellished with One Hundred Cuts. Price 4s. 6d in fancy bds.
" The works of Peter Parley will need no puffing to insure suc-
cess ; they are really the most ingenious and taking conceits yet
developed to aid the cause of education ; they are full of simple
and substantial food for the juvenile mind, and add to the many
claims of the benevolent Peter to the gratitude both of Parents
and Children."
6. TALES ABOUT THE SUN, MOON, STARS, AND
COM
A new and very greatly improvedETS.
Edition. With 130 Cuts.
Price 4s. 6d. fancy boards.
" This beautiful volume is extremely well 'adapted to convey a
knowledge of astronomical science to the youthful understanding.
Peter is so bland and earnest in his manner, that he never fails to
win attention and raise curiosity. Ho then uses such familiar
terms in gratifying it, that the rudiments of astronomy are in-
sensibly impressed upsn the mind, and an abstruse science rendered
a pleasing study. We wish that Peter had lived and written in the
days of our boyhood ! The young of both sexes are bound to pray
for length of days to so engaging an instructor."
