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. Samples sent to committees and teachers GRATIS, for examination, on application, either personally or by mail, to

These blackboards are made of wood, coated with Munger's Eureka Liquid Slating, and secured in a frame like a school slate; thus being left free to expand and contract they never split.

We have styles especially intended for nursery and family use.

Children can find no better amusement than marking upon blackboards; and surely nothing can be more beneficial than the practice they would thus get in writing and drawing.

For school use this slating is too well known to need any comment. It has stood the test of seven years' constant use, and during the last year, in New England alone, has been applied to over fifty thousand square feet of surface, and in not a single instance has it failed to give entire satisfaction.

We have several men constantly employed in applying the slating to old and new blackboards, and every foot of surface is warranted.

From A. J. NUTTER, Principal Mt. Vernon School. West Roxbury, Mass. DEAR SIR:-By an advertisement in the Massachusetts Teacher, I learn that you are Agent for Munger's Slated Goods; and as I have had the pleasure of using his blackboard in my school-room for more than three years, with perfectly satisfactory results, it is with pleasure that I, though unsolicited, bear testimony to its good qualities. It has steadily improved by use, and I think I may safely say that it is all that the manufacturer promised, or the most sanguine of us expected. Indeed, it is, as my assistant teacher said of it a few days since, "good enough."

CAMBRIDGE, Oct. 21, 1865.

A month or two ago, Mr. Griswold applied the Eureka Slating to all the blackboards in our High School-house, on which we had tried Pierce's slating for a year. I am happy to say that we now have the best blackboards I have ever seen. They are perfect in every desirable quality; being black, smooth, hard, and easily cleaned.

All our teachers are much pleased with the change; and I most heartily commend your
slating to all in want of a really good blackboard.
Truly yours,
WILLIAM J. ROLFE, Master of High School.

TEXT-BOOK AT LAST!

PHYSIOLOGY AND LAWS OF HEALTH.

BY EDWARD JARVIS, M. D.

This work was prepared at the suggestion of the late HORACE MANN; who felt the impor tance of a more practical work than any offered to the public upon this essential branch of education. When, after three years of labor, the author presented him the result of his efforts, he said of it-"It is the best book extant."

Before the child can have use for other knowledge, he must know how to live. He should. therefore, learn the nature and wants of his frame, and of its various organs, even earlier than he studies the features of the earth, the science of numbers, or the structure of language. The great and sole object of this work is to teach the laws of health, the powers of the several organs, the limit of their strength, the way in which they are to be developed and sustained and the certain and evil consequences that follow their misapplication. For these purposes it teaches, first, the general structure of the organs; second, the law of their being and action and third, their application to and connection with the common affairs of life. The first is limited and only preparatory to the second, which is also limited and subordinate to the third The third is almost infinite in its extent and variety, and requires much study.

It is in the relative importance attached to these several departments of the study, that this work differs most essentially from all others. These seem intended rather to make anatomica scholars than practical self-managers. Science is their main purpose, health their secondary On the other hand, Dr. Jarvis has had in view, mainly and uppermost, the practicable laws o health, and designs to teach such and such only as every one should learn and could apply to his own self-management. For this he uses anatomy and physiology only so far as they car be understood and remembered by the people at large, and only so far as is necessary fo the comprehension of the laws of health.

As a guarantee of the scientific accuracy of the book, and its reliability as to facts, it may b mentioned that it was examined in MS., corrected, and approved by the following eminen authorities:

Dr. O. W. Holmes, Prof. of Anatomy, the chapter on THE SKIN---Dr. Henry J. Bowditch of Boston Medical School, on DIGESTION---Dr. Henry J. Bigelow, Prof. of Surgery, on th BONES and MUSCLES---Dr. Luther V. Bell, Supt. of McClean Asylum, on the BRAIN an NERVOUS SYSTEM---Dr. John D. Fisher, on the LUNGS and RESPIRATION---Dr. A. E Hayes, Mass. State Assayer and Chemist, on ANIMAL HEAT. [And others.]

To see if the book was in the best manner adapted to Schools, Messrs. SHERWIN, ADAMS an SMITH, prominent teachers of Boston, were consulted. In case of any doubt as to languag Mr. GEO. B. EMERSON, Rev. Dr. PALFREY and Mr. CHARLES FOLWIN carefully examined the wor During the short time that the original edition of this work (Jarvis' Practical Physiology was in print, it became immensely popular, but owing to the failure of its publishers, was lo to the public, and the plates have since lain inactive. As the same want still exists, and t people are more than usually alive to the importance of this branch of education, the auth decided to publish anew, with important revisions, and a title more expressly adapted to character of the work. The publishers have received since the announcement numerous l ters from teachers, who testify to the merits of the work from experience, and congratula themselves and the public upon the opportunity to use it. The work was scarcely out press, when a most substantial testimonial was awarded by the Board of Education for State of Maryland, which after careful comparison with competing text-books, unanimous adopted it for use in all common schools.

JARVIS' PRIMARY PHYSIOLOGY (price 90 cts.) is designed for Juvenile Classes. Teach desiring to examine the books with a view to introduction, will be furnished specimens at 60 cts. $1,00 per copy, respectively, post-paid.
