Any Map, or any number of Maps of the Series (except Series No. 3), can be selected if a full set is not required.

By the admirable system of coloring adopted, the plateaus, mountains, valleys, rivers, altitudes, in fact all the physical characteristics of the Earth's surface, are clearly and beautifully expressed, as also the political features, boundaries, names of cities etc., etc.

TESTIMONIAL FROM PROFESSOR AGASSIZ.

From what I know of Prof. Guyot's Wall Maps, etc., I have no hesitation in saying that both as to method and execution they are incomparably superior to any thing of the kind thus far published; and in connection with the series of text-books by the same author, which, I understand, are soon to be published, they will form the most valuable means for the study of geography, in which department there is urgent necessity for new books adapted to the present advanced state of the science, In fact, it is the simple truth, that no other geographer living understands the relations of the physical feature of our earth so well, or knows how to present them to students with such simplicity and clearness as Prof. Guyot.

Cambridge, Mass., March 27th, 1865.

L. AGASSIZ.

IN PRESS. To be published during the Fall, the first two of Prof. Guyot's Series of Geographies.

Before you change the text-books to be used in the schools under your charge,

BE SURE AND EXAMINE THE FOLLOWING.

WARREN'S GEOGRAPHIES,

REVISED AND CORRECTED,

CONTAINING

CENSUS of 1860, NEW MAPS, RECENT DISCOVERIES and POLITICAL CHANGES down to 1865,

Cover the whole ground necessary for a thorough understanding of that too much neglected branch of education.

They develop thought, and leave a more lasting impression on the scholar's mind than any other series now published, as the immense sales already made, the continually increasing demand for them, and the united voice of hundreds of teachers now using them, all testify.

They have already been introduced into the public schools of many of the largest cities from New England to California, among which are BOSTON, PHILADELPHIA, WASHINGTON, CHICAGO and SACRAMENTO, and the Physical Geography is meeting with heavy sales in CANADA, ENGLAND and GERMANY.

GREENE'S IMPROVED GRAMMARS. Greene's Introduction to English Grammar,

AND

Greene's English Grammar.

These two books form a complete series, sufficiently comprehensive for all our common schools, while his analysis of the English language is adapted to the highest classes in academies and seminaries. The principles of the language are treated in their natural order, while the most thorough and complete analysis is taught at every step.

The above-named books will be furnished for first introduction at GREATLY REDUCED PRICES, so that in many cases it will be even MORE ECONOMICAL TO INTRODUCE THEM than to continue using inferior works.

We have had no English Dic"Etymological part remarkably well done. * * tionary nearly so good in this respect."-North Am. Review, Jan., 1865.

"In our opinion, it is the best Dictionary that either England or America can boast."-Nitional Quarterly Review, Oct., 1864.

1865.

"No English scholar can dispense with this work."—Bibliotheca Sacra. Jan, "Truly a Mignum Opus, a monument of industry, research, and erudition, worthy the most cordial recognition and the highest praise of all who write, speak or study the English language "- -Evang. Quarterly Review, Jan., 1865.

"In its general accuracy, completeness, and practical utility, the work is one which none who can read or write can henceforward afford to dispense with.”—Atlantic Monthly, Nov., 1864.

"Viewed as a whole, we are confident that no other living language has a Dictionary which so fully and faithfully sets forth its present condition as this last edition of Webster does that of our written and spoken English tongue."-Harper's Mag. Jan.,'65. "THE NEW WEBSTER is glorious-it is perfect-it distances and defies competition -it leaves nothing to be desired. As a monument of literary labor, or as a business enterprise, magnificent in conception and almost faultless in execution, I think it equally admirable "-J. H. Rymond, LL.D., Pres. Vassar College.
