ance of domestic dutles. As the process of working it into young ladies' schools will be slow, we hope it will find its way into every family at once. It will settle the great "domestic difficulty" by making every woman a good housekeeper, a good nurse, a good mother, a good Christian. It is sound and practical. The book closes with an address from the senior author to the Female Teachers of her country, asking their aid in an effort to raise still higher the influence and remuneration of their profession. It is proposed to establish an institution for training young ladies in the performance of the practical duties of life. The plan embraces several departments, one of which will be the Health Department. To the endowment of that will be devoted the profits arising from the sale of this book. Teachers may obtain a copy by enclosing one dollar and their address to J. B. Ford & Co., 39 Park Row, New York City. REMOVING MOUNTAINS. By John S. Hart. New York: Robert Carter & Brothers. These life-lessons from the gospels are worthy of thoughtful perusal. Fifty-two short sermons we might call them, though they are not in sermonizing style. The thought is seized, brought out, or the picture is strikingly presented; and that is all. "Removing Mountains," "Martha and Mary," ," "Christ the Door," "Lacking," Doing and Knowing," etc., are the subjects. We are glad the publishers have given so good a book an attractive appearance. ANDREWS & STODDARD'S LATIN GRAMMAR. School edition. Prepared by J. H. Andrews, assisted by eminent teachers. Boston: Crocker & Brewster. This is an epitome of the authors' larger grammar, and contains all that is needed by the student in his preparatory course. The numbers of the sections in the larger work have been retained that the references in the works of various authors may correspond to the sections in this grammar. It will be found well adapted to the wants of our schools. FIRST STEPS IN MUSIC. Second book. By George B. Loomis, Indianapolis. A few months ago, we noticed the appearance of the first book, and are glad to see the same principle of one thing at a time carried out still further in this second book. The steps are very short, and certainly most primary teachers will have no difficulty in teaching their scholars how to take them. We welcome every attempt of this kind to simplify the teaching of music. It should be early taught and well taught. (OR PART II.)

NEW SERIES OF GEOGRAPHIES. COMPLETE IN THREE BOOKS, THE PRIMARY, THE COMMON SCHOOL, THE PHYSICAL. COWPERTHWAIT & CO., Publishers, Philadelphia. This Series has recently been thoroughly revised, and it presents the whole subject of Geography in a state of complete adaptation to all grades of schools, not to be found in the same number of books in any other series. Hence, in point of expense, and in the time required to master the subject of which it treats, WARREN'S SERIES IS THE MOST ECONOMICAL OF ANY BEFORE THE PUBLIC. WARREN'S GEOGRAPHIES, based upon the ideas of Ritter and Humboldt, WERE THE FIRST TO POPULARIZE THE SUBJECT OF PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY in the public schools of this country, to make it the basis of all Geographical teaching, to impress upon the subject a philosophical arrangement of dependent topics, to infuse into it a scientific unity and connection of thought, and thus to lift the science above a lifeless summary of facts about countries and cities. The superiority of the method pursued in these books is fully demonstrated by their long continued use, and re-adoption as fast as revised, in such leading cities as And in Hundreds of other Cities and Towns throughout the United States. TEACHERS AND SCHOOL OFFICERS Must examine these New Books If they wish to keep up with the times. Copies for examination, and terms for introduction, fur nished on application to the Publishers, or to DEXTER S. STONE, General Agent, 37 & 39 BRATTLE ST., BOSTON. |
