JOSEPH GUY'S SCHOOL GEOGRAPHY,
The Eighteenth Edition enlarged, with Seven Maps, price 33
bound.

GUY'S SCHOOL GEOGRAPHY, on a new and
easy plan, comprising not only a complete general des-
cription, but much topographical information, in a well.
digested order, exhibiting three distinct parts, and yet forming
one connected whole, expressly adapted to every age and
capacity, and to every class of learners both in ladies and
gentlemen's schools. By JOSEPH GUY, formerly Professor
of Geography in the Royal Military College, Great Marlow,
Author of the " School Arithmetic," " British Spelling,"
" School Question Book," " Elements of Ancient, Modern,
and British History," &c.
No work was ever better adapted for teaching than this
favourite school book. Its plan has given universal satisfac-
tion, and it has long been the leading book in all the first
schools of the empire and the British Colonies. The Problems
on the Terrestrial and Celestial Globes are sufficiently numer-
ous for tuition, and the Tutor's Questions, with the Dictionary
of Geographical names, properly accented, afford valuable
assistance to the teacher.

This work, with all Joseph Guy's popular schoolbooks, being
strict copyright, it can, with the others, be only published by
CRADDOCK and Co. 48, Paternoster row, and WitirrAKES
and Co., Ave Maria-lane, London.

JOSEPH GUY, late of the Royal Military College, Great
Marlow, Author of the " School Arithmetic," "School Geo-
graphy," " Elements of Ancient, Modern, and British History,"
" School Queition Books," &c. The popularity of this esta-
blished Book is unrivalled. Since its first appearance its sale
has exceeded 1,000,000 copies., and it still holds the first place in
all schools and families. In justice to the admired Author, (the
best writer perhaps that ever gave his mind to works of educa-
tion,) the Publishers wish to remind Teachers that his name is
"Joseph," a caution considered necessary, as attempts to
imitate his Books, by adventurers of similar surname, have
been made. This and all JOSEPH GUY'S popular School Books
are strictly copyright, and can only be published by CRADOCK
and Co., 48, Paternoster-row, and WHITTAKER and Co., Ave
