Town and Hoibro0k's Progressive
Series of school Books.


Teachers and School Committees de-
sirous of obtaining the best books for the
use of their schools, before making q
change, would do well to wait and eX-
anime the Improved edition of the Pro
gressive Series, compiled by Salem Town,
LII. D., and Nelson NJ. Holbrook, AM.
The lower number of the Series, we
learn, viii soon be issued nom new cleo
trotyped plates, with many new and
beautiful illustrations but no changes
will be made in the text TO prevent their
use with the old editions,
A Re,c number, entitled "The Progress
i've intermediate Reader''-a sequel TO
the Second Reader-has Just been added
10 the series, for the purpose of furnish
ing additional heading matter for Pri-
mary and intermediate classes in graded
schools. IL has been prepared on the
same general plan of the other numbers
of the series,-a plan which bears the
test Of the school-room, as the best teach
ers in every part of our country have
uniformly testified.
To the Fourth number of the series,
tifty-two pages of very choice selections
have been added; and SO far as we are
acquainted, no similar work now embra-
ces so great variety of rhetorical eXer-
cises, which are so tceN adapted to the
grade of scholars for whom this Reader
is designed
The Fifth, or Evolutionary Reader now
the most complete and practical work
published, we understand, is also to be
enlarged by the addition ofseveral pages
more of the most popular standard pieces
in the English language embracing ev-
cry variety ofstyle appropriate to school
purposes.
With all these improvements and adj,
ditiOns, this series of Readers, in connec-
ton with the Progressive Speller and De
finer, which is believed to be the best and
cheapest Speller in the country, will un,
questionably long hold its present posi-.
ton in the estimation of the public, as
superior to all others in point of mechan,
ical execution, artistic skill in the illus
trations, literary merit, heightened mo.
rality and its admirable adaptation tC
every grade of schools.
In this improved edition, we are glad
to see that the authors have carefully
avoided making needless expense to pu.
pills and parents The old editions now
in use can be continued in connection
with the ne,c, until the books are worn
out, without any serious Inconvenience
to classes or teachers.
The Progressive Series has been be
fore the public about six years, but has
undergone no change until the present
-. q, L. +
ton with the fact that it is more extern
sively used in New England than all the
other series combined, is highly compli
mentary to the anthors for it evinces
both their peculiar qualifications for the
work, and the progressive and practical char.
acter of their books Let no one fail tC
examine the improved edition of this Sc.
