SARGENT'S ENTIRELY NEW SERIES OF READERS, AND PRONOUNCING SPELLER. Send for the Latest and Best before making a Change. In consequence of the great success of Mr. EPES SARGENT in his specialty of preparing Readers for schools, there has been a large demand for new books from him; and he has consequently prepared an entirely new and improved Series of Readers, which have been carefully and elegantly electrotyped, and are now ready. The smaller books are beautifully illustrated, and all those improvements, which constant consultation with our best teachers has suggested, are included. We defy contradiction in saying that the Series is the Best, the Handsomest, the most. Carefully Prepared, and, we may add, the Cheapest, ever published. Mr. Sargent's long experience, careful scholarship, high culture as a literary man, and acknowledged taste, added to his admitted success in ONE Series of Readers, of which millions are sold annually, are a guaranty that committees will find it for the interest of schools to examine his New Series before making any change. The most striking evidence of his previous success may be found in the extent to which the latest compilers of Readers and Speakers have made use of his original labors in selection; his works appearing to have been The magazine from which compilers have taken nearly two-thirds of their pieces. The New Fifth Reader, just issued, is the greatest book of its class before the public. The ELOCUTIONARY INTRODUCTION embraces all the instruction of any practical value; and the Reading Lessons comprise the best elocutionary pieces in the language. It is eminently a book FOR THE TIMES, AND UP WITH THE TIMES-far in advance of any competing work. Sargent's New Pronouncing Speller has among its features a NEW AND IMPROVED SYSTEM OF NOTATION, and is exciting the greatest interest among teachers for the thoroughness and ingenuity of its system of indicating pronunciation.

The following are extracts from the Report: "The Grand Piano-Fortes of Messrs. Hallet, Davis & Co. have many very admirable features. They have a great body of tone, and are specially commended for their fine touch and their beautiful singing quality. "The Square Piano of the same makers, No. 12790, was very much admired. It has great fulness, depth and mellowness of tone, and, in certain grave styles of music, would probably be unexcelled by any similar instrument on exhibition." Besides the above, THIRTY-TWO FIRST PREMIUMS have been awarded our Pianos, nine for Grands and Best Parlor-Grands. Our Pianos are with NEW scales and SUPERIOR action, and we guarantee PERFECT SATISFACTION. Every Instrument is Warranted for Five Years. Second-hand Pianos taken in exchange for new.

THE LITTLE CORPORAL.-The Pittsburgh Christian Advocate says: "The best paper for children, published in this great country of ours, is The Little Corporal. It is a gem in the catalogue of monthlies." Forney's Philadelphia Daily Press says of it: "The Little Corporal is destined to become the great children's paper of America." "It is, without doubt, the best and cheapest children's gazette published anywhere."-Marshall (Mich.) Statesman. The Little Corporal.-Though modestly calling itself by a subordinate title, it is really a very Major General among the children's magazines.-Chenango Telegraph. (Norwich, N. Y.) The most interesting and instructive monthly in the Union.-Louisville Democrat. Universally admitted to be the best juvenile paper now in existence.-Dubuque Daily Times. It strikes the right key, and is admirable-neither heavy nor silly, but simple, fresh, buoyant, and earnest.-Adams' (N.Y.) Visitor. Its influence for good can never be estimated.-Grand Haven News. Indeed, there is no paper of the kind published that approaches it as a juvenile journal. -Poughkeepsie Daily Press. It is the cleverest thing of its kind yet realized in America.-Roxbury (Mass.) Journal. The Little Corporal.-Certainly we have seen noth_ng in the shape of a child's paper which could compare with this which comes to us from over the prairies.-Portland (Me.) Daily Press. The Little Corporal is conducted with a great deal of tact, taste, and care. Either this paper or Our Young Folks-and it would be hard to choose between them-would prove a welcome present for the children.-The Nation. It should be in every household.-N. Y. Teacher. It is now, as it has been, the child's magazine of the country.-Norwich (N.Y.) Telegraph. The brave, beautiful, and good Little Corporal conquers all.-Vermont State Journal. The Little Corporal is at hand. There never was a better paper printed for children. We should desire no better monument to leave behind us in the world than the gratitude of the little folks who read this paper, all the way from Maine to Oregon -Bloomington (Ill.) Pantagraph. It is a gem. Chaste, elegant and excellent in its every department.-Lancaster (Pa.) Repub. After a careful examination, we can cheerfully say of The Little Corporal that it deserves all the praise that has been lavished upon it by the press everywhere.-Philadel. Episcopal Recorder. The above are only a tithe of the many beautiful notices our young soldier has received. Address ALFRED L. SEWELL, Care of Dunlop, Sewell & Spalding, |
