McGUFFEY'S READERS.
From Report on Readers by Committee of Virginia
State Teachers Association, july 1868:
"Of Dr. McGuffey's works it may be truly af
Erp, aA NJ fhau houa hoa fou uaH
and so long and extensively used, that they now
seem to have become almost an essential part OF
Primary School machinery, and to be vested with
a prescriptive title to general acceptaton. They
bear, indeed, the prestige of great name, and
doubtless their intrinsic worth is entitled to such
endorsement"
From Rev. DR.. B. NJ. Smith, Union Theological
Seminary.
~ have known and fully approve of McGufey'
Series.'
From Rev. DR.. Drury Lacy.
cater full and fair trial of several series OF
Readers, have laid them all aside, except Nc.
Gufey's, which, l regard as decidedly better than
any with which | am acquainted
McGuffey's Series is in use in threefourths of all
the schools in Virginia.
GUYOTS BIOGRAPHIES.
Prof. Guyot was the pupil of Humboldt, and has
probably made more contributions to Geographical
knowledge than any other living man. He was for
merly Professor at Columbia, s. c.. and is now
Professor of Geography at Princeton.
From General Robert E. Lee.
"Guyot's Maps are in use in Washington College,
and receive the hearty commentator of those en-
ploying them can add my own approval"
From Professor J. l.. Campbell, Washington & Lee
University, and County Sup't of Rockbridge.
81 am not acquainted with any series of Geogra-
phies which seem to so well adapted to interest
the minds of children, and at the same time to lead
them gradually forward to a thorough knowledge of
the subject"
From Rev. DR.. B. Sears, Agent of the Peabody Fund
for the benefit of the South.
"In my agency at the South I embrace all suita-
BILE occasions to recommend Prof. Guyots book on
Geography. This do for the public good, and not
for the interest of any parties. There have been
other good works on the subject, but since the APP
pearance OF Prof Guyots, think there are none
that compete with them. l regard it the best
series for its purpose of any before the public
Guyots system is eminently elementary in its char
acter simple in its method, and fundamental in its
facts"
From the Richmond "Dispatch.'
"The Maps and sketches of Virginia and Virgin
las history, productions, minerals, &C., &C., in the
edition to be used in our schools, will be from the
pen of Jed. Hotchkiss, Esq, a fact the mere state
ment of which, will go far in popularizing these
books in this State"
From Rev. Geo. B. Taylor, Chaplain of the Uniyer-
sity of Virginia, formerly Principal of Boys
School in Staunton.
81 have introduced Guyot's Biographies, and
certainly regard them as incomparably superior to
any Biographies extant. They ELL my idea. also
want set of maps"
From Prof. ]. G.. Covell, Sup't of Virginia Asylum
for Deaf, Dumb and Blind, Staunton, where an
edition Of Guyot's Geography has been printed
for the blind.
81 am obliged to you for sending the Intermed-
ate Geography l had not seen it before. 1t sur
passes all the other Biographies Of that grade have
ever seen. Students of geography should erect an
ever enduring monument to Guyots memory, so
much has he done for them in this science.
