"Davies' Mathematics" was adopted by me in
1858, and, up to this time, have examined nc
works superior to them as a whole
i have examined, with view of Introduction
"McNally's Geography" (No. 81 and Peck.
Ganot's Natural Philosophy" l consider them
most excellent works, and shall put them in my
boys hands, at the earliest period. The Phil.
osophy is truly an enticing work and must meet
with universal commendation. 1il Q t'ar

From W. C. KERR, State Geologist of North
r Carolina 'T7t
regard Monteiths Physical and intermediate
Geography as one Of the best books OF its Kind.
1t has several points of superiority over most
-.
especially in the eyes OF the Juveniles, will be
tound In Its attraetise and very graphic llustra-
tions. Another Is the truly wonderful amount
OF substantial and really scientific information
conveyed BY these wooacuts, and the concise
and lucid descriptions appended But the chic
excellence consists in this, that Geography Il
tere treated from the only true and rations
standpoint, viz: of Geology and Physical Geog
raphy; so that the learner arrives, by natural
and easy process, at the true conception OF the
earth as organized whole; the designed res ult
OF successive changes and notifications, under
the control of physical laws, constituting a true
growth from a chaotic germ through manifold
stages OF progress, all pointing forward to It's
destined end as the home of living beings, and
finally of man.
From Rev. G, D. BERNHEIA, Principal OF Mount
Amoena Female Seminary, Mount Pleasant,
NC. ias'
l have introduced your National Series OF
Readers with great satisfaction TO myself and TO
our teachers. We find them TO be excellent,
just suited to our purpose.
With Davies Mathematical Series VIC have been
long familiar, and can find no good reason for
changing them.
In the Primary Department VIC have Monteith's
Biographies, and in the advanced classes we have
introduced Peck's Ganot with much acceptance.

They afford gradual but thorough and sys-
