"McNally's Geography" no 81 and "Peck's
Ganots Natural Philosophy" consider them
most excellent works, and shall put them in my

with universal commentator.
J.E. DUGGER.
From W. c. KERR, State Geologist of North
r Boz. Carolina
/, regard Monteiths Physical and intermediate
Geography as one of the best books OF its kind.
1t has several points of superiority over most
primary Biographies: not the least OF which,
especially in the eyes of the Juveniles, will be
found in its attractive and very graphic illustra-
tons. Another is the truly wonderful amount
OF substantial and really scientific information
conveyed by these woodcuts, and the concise
and lucid descriptions appended. But the chief |
excellence consists in this, that Geography is |
tere treated from the only true and rational |
standpoint, viz: of Geology and Physical Geog- |
raphy; SO that the learner arrives, by natural |
and easy process, at tine true conception of the |
earth as an organized whole; the designed result |
the control of physical laws, constituting true
growth from chaotic germ through manifold |
stages OF progress, all pointing forward to its
destined end as the home of living beings, and
