"Immediately on the publication of Cornell's Primary Geography, I gave the work a careful examination, and was much pleased with the result; but before giving an opinion of the book, determined to test the same in the class-room. This trial was so successful, that 200 copics were ordered, and four classes-two each, in the Male and Female Departments-took the book in hand. "This course was also pursued with the Intermediate, and the result was equally satisfactory. It is the uniform testimony of our teachers, that these books are much superior to any we have used; that the beauty and excellency of the system has been more and more developed in passing through the books, and that a new interest has been awakened in the minds of the pupils. "The Primary is what its name indicates. In it the foundation is well laid, and so much of the elements of the science as pertains to that, and that alone, is well arranged and clearly developed. "The Intermediate, also, occupies its appropriate ground. Here the same systematic order prevails,-one thing at a time, and that in its natural order. "The Maps are clear, well-drawn, and finely illustrative of the text; containing all that is necessary for this purpose, and only that. These are, emphatically, books of instruction, not of reference. Here, the mind of the pupil is not constantly turned to the consideration of irrelevant matter, or foreign subjects, which require volumes to unfold, but to a regular, rystematic, and progressive development of one subject. "The illustrations are remarkable for their artistic beauty, as well as instruction, by reference to the text. For these, and other reasons, we consider these books as greatly superior to any others we have ever seen. I can only add, that the use of the books in our schools has been very satisfactory, and that our teachers are unanimous with me in the high estimate I place upon them." |
