NOW READY,

KERL'S COMPOSITION AND RHETORIC.

Price, $1.25,

BY SIMON KERL,

Author of the English Grammars, in which the study of Grammar is made a most interesting

pursuit.

THIS NEW RHETORIC is a simple, concise, progressive, thorough, and practical work, ON A NEW PLAN. It occupies an intermediate position between common grammar and higher rhetoric, embodying from each what is practically most useful to the writer. It aims to make the student inventive as well as critical, to qualify him for prompt and proper expression in discharging the common duties of life, to guard and refine his taste in the general pursuit of literature, and to aid him in his own literary productions.

The foregoing book, and the "First Lessons in Grammar," when studied together, will furnish an Elementary Course on the English language, or a course of Grammar, Composition, and Rhetoric that is quite sufficient for Common Schools.

The same book, and the "Common-School Grammar," when studied together, will furnish an Advanced Course on the English language, or a course of Grammar, Composition, and Rhetoric that is sufficient for the great majority of Academies and Colleges.

KERL'S

For simplicity and clearness; for comprehensiv research and minute analysis; for freshness, scientific method and practical utility, this series of English Grammars is unrivalled by any other yet published.

Kerl's Common School Grammar.

EATON'S ELEMENTARY ALGEBRA.

Designed for High Schools and Academies. By W. F. BRADBURY, Author of a Trigonometry and Surveying, and Teacher in Cambridge High School. Copies furnished for examination with reference to introduction on receipt of 60 cents.

The publishers present this volume to the educational public as a part of Eaton's Mathematical Series.

The acknowledged ability of the author as a mathematician and his practical experience as a teacher, peculiarly fit him to prepare a book of this grade.

It is thought that this work will surpass all others of a similar character in the following particulars:

1. Its superior mechanical execution.

2. Its brief and perspicuous method of stating principles and rules.

3. The omission of all topics not appropriate to an Elementary Algebra.

4. The arrangement of Equations in Elimination and the number and variety of examples throughout the work.

THE ELEMENTS OF ARITHMETIC. By James S. Eaton, M. A., Author of a series of Arithmetics. 188 pp. Retail price, 50 cents.

It is the design of this work to present an outline of the most important principles of Arithmetic, special attention being given to the FUNDAMENTAL RULES, UNITED STATES MONEY, PERCENTAGE and the METRIC SYSTEM of Weights AND MEASURES.

Teachers will find it a superior text-book for those pupils who have not time to pursue so full and complete a course in Written Arithmetic as is found in the larger books. EATON'S ARITHMETICS

Contain

The most clear and concise rules and definitions.
The most practical and business-like examples.
The most logical and satisfactory explanations.
The most approved presentation of the Metric System.

This Series is rapidly becoming the standard in the best schools throughout the country. QUESTIONS ON THE PRINCIPLES OF ARITHMETIO. Designed to indicate an outline of study and to facilitate a thorough system of reviews. By J. S. EATON, 15 cents. BRADBURY'S TRIGONOMETRY AND SURVEYING. For High Schools and Academies. By W. F. BRADBURY, Cambridge. $1.50.

Our rule not to advertise by DETRACTION prevents us from answering in kind a recent attack in the advertising columns of this JOURNAL upon GuYor's Geographies, made by the publishers of WARREN'S. We will show at our office, to those interested, a list of places in this vicinity which have recently discontinued the use of WARREN'S Geographies (and the comments of such parties upon these books), embracing several large cities and several score of towns.

A QUESTION OF FACT.

Was the old or new edition of Warren's Geography superseded by GUYOT in Newburyport?

A statement lately published in the interest of Warren's Geographies, purporting to be a certificate signed by me to the effect that GUYOT's superseded the OLD edition of WARREN'S Common School Geography, was never given nor signed by me, to my best recollection and belief. The facts are, that both the old and the new edition of WARREN's book were in our schools; but the one in the beginning classes, and the one superseded, and the one compared with Guyot's, was THE NEW EDITION.

NEWBURYPORT, Oct. 25, 1869.

ISAAC P. NOYES,
Sec'y of School Committee.

In March, 1869, GUYOT's Geography superseded Warren's Common School, then in use in our schools. The exchange was made at my store, and to my knowledge many of the books exchanged were WARREN'S NEW EDITION of 1868. That book in fact was used by the beginning classes, and was considered in comparison with Guyot.

NEWBURYPORT, Oct. 25, 1869.

N. A. MOULTON, Chairman of Board of School Committee.

This will certify that I sold the new edition of Warren's Common School Geography for use in the schools of this city for nearly a year previous to the adoption of GUYOT's series.

NEWBURYPORT, Oct. 25, 1869.

GEORGE W. CLARK,

Bookseller.

On the 15th of March, 1869, I bought of Mr. G. H. Tucker, three hundred and twenty-seven copies of the New England edition of Warren's Common School Geography, that came from the schools of Newburyport, — about one half of which was the new edition of 1868.

BOSTON, Oct. 22, 1869.

Bookseller.
