ne Publishers deem ii unnecessary to COM
ment on the utility of the above work, as it has
already been tested in the principal cities and
towns in the New England, Middle, Western,
and part of the Southern States Within the
last p months more than $4,000 copies have
been published, great proportion of which are
already in use, The following are the remarks
of some of the most respectable gentlemen in
this town:
From George Folsom, Esq, Master of the
Worcester High School Having examined
the 9th edition of Olneys Geography and Atlas
with reference to its use in the school under
my care, and for that purpose compared its pre-
tensions with those of similar publications,
am clearly of opinion that for simplicity of ar
raneement, neatness and perspcuity of style.
and fullness, without excess of detail, this com
pilation is decidedly preferable to any other
with which have met. The Atlas deserves the
highest praise for the elegance, ingenuity, and
completeness of the Maps, especially in relation
to our own country.
Warren LaztH, Teacher ofthc English School,
as also various members efthc School Commit
tees of this town, authorize the publisher in
saying that they also concur in the above4a-
vorable and unqualified recommendation of
,Olney's Geography and Atlas.

LYCEUMs.

In New England, Lyceum meetings,
Teachers conventions, and other similar
occasions, are common ground, on which
different religionists meet for a common
purpose, and where they lay aside their de-
anominatonal views to give to that purpose
undivided attention. The constitutions of
Lycedms sometimes shut out religious dis
putes snd party politics, by express provis-
ions. More frequently they are excluded
by silent and common assent. la either
case, the exclusion is generally perfect. If
a hot-headed partizan introduces his dog
mas, boldly or silly, he only Injuries himself,
and perhaps his party. His conduct seldom
provokes a retaliation; for the discreet and
honorable of all parties regard him as hav-
ing violated propriety of manners, if not
written obligations, and his violence or in
discretion returns upon hts own head. 1t
would probably be impracticable to convert
a single Lyceum IN New England into de-
batting club for parties in politics or religion.
A bold or subtle disorganizer might throw
one of them into confusion and disband it
but he could not change its character so es-
sentally, and continue its form and opera
tions. We differ on religious topics, but
we seek other opportunities to promote our
religious views. And We do not anticipate
a corruption and abuse of the Lyceum prin-
eiple for purposes like these. One security
is, that we seem to agree no. TO distrust
each other. In this state of things, that
man will assume tremendous responsible
