.Of DR.. McGufey's works it may be truly af-
frmed that they have been 80 favorably received,
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 acceptatton. They
bear, indeed, the prestige Of great name, ana
doubtless their intrinsic worth Is entitled to such
an endorsement

lam not acquainted with any series Of Geog-
raphies which seem to me SO well adapted 10 In
erest the minds Of children, and at the same time
to lead them gradually forward to thorough
knowledge of the subject"
from DR.. Barnas Sears, Of Staunton, Va, Super
intendent of the Peabody Fund.-
In my agency at the South I embrace all suitable
occasions to recommend Prof. Guyot's books on
Georgiaphy. 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 appearance of Prof. Guyot's, think there are
none that can compete with 1t. B. SEARS.
from Prof. John LIE Conte, University of South
Cardinal
The obvious superiority of these biographies
must speedily lead to their universal adoption in
all our schools. JOHN LIE CONTE.
lFrom Prof. George B. Taylor, Principal Boys

Ihave introduced Guyot's Biographies, and GER
tainly regard them as incomparably superior to
any biographies extant. They fill my Idea. also
want set of maps. GEO. B. TAYLOR.
From Prof. Francis H. Smith, University Of
Virginia.
have used several of Guyot's large Wall Maps
with great satisfaction, in lectures upon Physical
Geography. These maps seem to me to be admir-
able, and to lecture-room instruction they present
with sufficient accuracy and with great disttnctness
the leading phenomena.
