By G. A. WALTON, Walton's Written Arithmetic. 334 pages. Walton's Intellectual Arithmetic. In press. Key to Walton's Arithmetical Table. TESTIMONIALS. The definitions, explanations, and rules, in Walton's Arithmetic, are clear, concise, and accurate. The system of reviews by dictation exercises, and a table for the practice of the fundamental operations, are marked and admirable features of the work. The examples are copious, and of an eminently practical character.— E. FLINT, JR., A. M., Master of Lynn High School. The best treatise on Written Arithmetic I have ever read; and I arrive at this conclusion after having given it a very careful examination.-GEO. M. GAGE, A.M., Principal of the State Normal School, Farmington, Maine. I do not hesitate to say that, in its treatment of both the theory and the practice of Arithmetic, it is the best book I have ever seen. While it is in no respect inferior to other works of its class, it has many features, original and unique, which give it a marked superiority to all of them, and which can not fail to commend it to the teacher and the student.-WM. J. ROLFE, A.M., Master of Cambridge (Mass.) High School. I am using more than a hundred copies of Walton's Written Arithmetic in my school, and am very much pleased with the book. It is remarkably free from the common errors of text-books in Arithmetic. The explanations are clear, the illustrations good. I think the author has hit just the right plan in printing answers in connection with a part, and only a part, of the examples.-W. L. PILLSBURY, Prin. Model Department Ill. State Normal School. An excellent book in all points. We think it the best Arithmetic we have ever used in our schools.-E. A. GASTMAN, Supt. of Schools, Decatur, Ill. I am decidedly pleased with its general arrangement of topics, and its clearness and conciseness in the explanation of principles.-GEO. CHURCHILL, Prin. Preparaatory Department Knox College. The 'card' and 'key' is a wonderful contrivance. It is much in little', most emphatically. HENRY E. SAWYER, A. M., Prin. High School, Concord, N.H. I have supplied our school with Walton's Tables, and find them excellent for a daily drill in arithmetical computation.—PROF. A. G. Boyden, Prin. of State Normal School, Bridgewater, Mass.

From JOHN D. PHILBRICK, Superintendent Public Schools of Boston. From present indications, I feel warranted in saying that reading in our grammar schools will be advanced during the year twenty-five per cent. in consequence of the introduction of this series. From Rev. A. L. STONE, D.D., Pastor of Park-Street Church, Boston. These volumes are aglow with wit, humor, eloquence pathos, and the purest and loftiest sentiments of patriotism, humanity, and religion. From Prof. GEORGE Howland, Principal of Public High School, Chicago, Ill. I consider Hillard's Sixth Reader', now in use in my school, by far the best Reader that has been presented to the educational public. We fully indorse Mr. Howland's opinion concerning Hillard's 'Readers'. E. C. DELANO, Prin. Chicago Normal School. We believe this (the selection of pieces) is what Mr. Hillard has done better than has ever been done before.-New-York Times. They form an excellent series, and sustain, to an eminent degree, the severe test of the school-room.GEO. N. BIGELOW, Prin. State Normal School, Framingham, Mass. I regard them as the most complete series of school-readers now before the public.-A MARKHAM, late Principal of the Niles Union School, Michigan. As a brief, simple, philosophical exposition of the principles of elocution, derived immediately from an analysis of thought and feeling, rather than from external form, it [Professor Bailey's Introduction] surpasses any thing I have ever seen.-Prof. S. S. GREENE, author of Greene's 'Grammars'. I am highly pleased with 'Worcester's Comprehensive Spelling-Book'. The arrangement and classification of words is admirable, and the department devoted to Derivations' unsurpassed.-CHARLES H. ALLEN, Principal Normal Department, University of Wisconsin.

H AVING PURCHASED the several interests of the HOLBROOK SCHOOL APPARATUS COMPANY, and moved our manufactory to this city, we are now prepared to supply the West with the most complete assortment of SCHOOL APPARATUS of different kinds that is to be found in the country. SCHOOL FURNITURE. We have heretofore manufactured School Furniture in this city only to quite a limited extent, being mainly confined to Ross's and Chase's Furniture - the former manufacturing in Boston, the latter in the State of New York. Finding these sources entirely inadequate to the wants of our customers, we have now established in this city a manufactory furnished with a steam-engine and all necessary machinery, experienced workmen, and every thing essential to the production of first-class work. We can now supply our customers with all the most approved styles of SEATS and DESKS without the annoyance, delay, expense and damage of transporting such heavy freight from the East. All persons seeking for GLOBES, MAPS, CHARTS, PHILOSOPHICAL and CHEMICAL APPARATUS, or any thing for illustration in all grades of schools, will do well to give us a call. GEO. & C. W.
