An Artistic Work of Great Merit.

bodies the first successful attempt to place
the history of the world before the eye with
the distinctness of photograph, and yet with
the simplicity of panorama.
ALI educators agree that good knowledge
of history is indispensable to high culture.
But the history of the world is SO broad,
there is so much of it, that until now it has
in acquiring good education.
The author of this chart has lightened
the work amazingly by bringing the history
of the world together in panoramic form.
It is as though one were lifted
up from the world and looking down upon
it, at any given time, to see what was going
on at that precise moment. Thus all history,
sacred as well as profane, is spread out be-
fore the student, so as to be brought within
easy grasp. The value of such work can
not be estimated until it has been examined
and used. We think the work very valuable
for every family, every day school, as we'll as
every Sunday school.
It is being endorsed by leading educators
all over the country, and the publishers have
met with gratifying encouragement among
our prominent citizens. We add the follow
ing testimonials, which speak for them
selves:

Every earnest student of history feels the
need OF a correct and comprehensive chrono-
logical conspectus of all events relating to the
period or people under his immediate investi-
CATION. Only by seeing what went before, what
was elsewhere going on at the time, and what
followed after, can be expected to comprehend
any given historical evolution. 1t is only due
the author to say that he has produced digest
Of universal history in synchronological form
for which every teacher of historical branches
will be thankful.
From Wendell Phillips and Joseph Cook.
Boston, Mass, June 6, 1877.-One of the best
teachers ever knew, and one who succeeded
best in training his own children, was accus-
toned to cover the walls of his sitting room
with large maps OF any country that by war; or
any national celebration or centennial exhibit
tlon, was made at the moment interesting. In
this way the greatest cities and stirring events
were indelibly fixed in their memories.
No better instrument think can be found
| for this domestic or academic instruction than
Adams Synchronological Chart of History. Let
children grow up with this in their daily sight
| and they cannot fail, even the dullest, to get
familiar with all the leading events of human
history, its great men, it's wars inventions
| arts and general progress. It would almost
supply the place of teacher. To thoughtful
and painstaking child it would be invaluable
