This work is arranged in six chapters, each containing the record of an important period. The First exhibits a general view of the Aboriginal race who occupied the continent when the Europeans came. The Second is a record of all the Discoveries and preparations for settlement made by individuals and governments. The Third delineates the progress of all the Settlements until colonial governments were formed. The Fourth tells the story of these Colonies from their infancy to maturity, and illustrates the continual development of democratic ideas and republican tendencies which finally resulted in a political confederation. The Fifth has a full account of the important events of the War for Independence; and the Sixth gives a concise History of the Republic from its formation to the present time.

These books are designed for different grades of pupils, and adapted to the time usually allowed for the study of this important subject. Each embraces the history of our country from its discovery to its present administration. The entire series is characterized by chasteness and clearness of style, accuracy of statement, beauty of typography, and fullness of illustration. The author has spent the greater part of his life in collecting materials for, and in writing history, and his ability and reputation are a sufficient guarantee that the work has been thoroughly done, and a series of histories produced that will be invaluable in training and educating the youth of our country.

Hooker's First Book in Physiology. For Public Schools. Price 90 cents.

Hooker's Human Physiology and Hygiene.

For

Academies and general reading. By WORTHINGTON HOOKER, M.D., Yale College. Price $1.75.

A few of the excellencies of these books, of which teachers and others have spoken, are: 1st. Their clearness, both in statement and description. 2d. The skill with which the interesting points of the subject are brought out. 3d. The exclusion of all useless matter; other books on this subject having much in them which is useful only to medical students. 4th. The exclusion, so far as is possible, of strictly technical terms. 5th. The adaptation of each book to its particular purpose, the smaller work preparing the scholar to understand the full development of the subject in the larger one. 6th. In the larger work the science of Physiology is brought out as it now is, with its recent important discoveries. 7th. Some exceedingly interesting and important subjects are fully treated, which, in other books of a similar character, are either barely hinted at or are entirely omitted. 8th. These works are not mere compilations, but have the stamp of originality, differing in some essential points from all other works of their class. 9th. In beauty and clearness of style, which are qualities of no small importance in books for instruction, they will rank as models. 10th. The subject is so presented that there is nothing to offend the most refined taste or the most scrupulous delicacy.

SCHOOL AND COLLEGE CLASSICS, Etc.

Long's Classical Atlas. Constructed by WILLIAM HUGHES, and edited by GEORGE LONG, formerly Professor of Ancient Languages in the University of Virginia. With a Sketch of Ancient Geography, and other Additions, by the American Editor. Containing Fifty-two Colored Maps and Plans on Twenty-two large imperial quarto Plates, beautifully engraved on steel in the clearest and most finished style. With an index of Places. Handsomely half-bound, with cloth sides, in one large volume. Price $4.50.

"Now that we are so well supplied with classical dictionaries, it is highly desirable that we should also have an atlas worthy to accompany them. In the volume before us is to be found all that can be desired. The names of those who have been concerned in its preparation speak for themselves. On examination, we find it adapted to the present state of classical scholarship, and distinguished by a superior style of execution. The wants of the classical student have been carefully consulted throughout; all places of peculiar interest, such as Rome, Athens, and its harbors, Syracuse, &c., being given upon an enlarged scale, and the relative positions of the public buildings, roads, &c., clearly exhibited. We notice, also, that places which have more than one name in the classics, such as Dyrrachium and Epidamnus, Carchedon and Carthage, appear with both in the Atlas."-Athenæum.

The Classical Manual: an Epitome of Ancient Geography, Greek and Roman Mythology, Antiquities, and Chronology. Chiefly intended for the use of Schools and Colleges. 'Compiled by JAMES S. S. BAIRD, T. C. D., &c. In one handsome 18mo volume, of about 175 pages. Price 90 cents.

The want has long been felt and acknowledged of an epitome, presenting, in a moderate space and a low price, such information as is necessary for the proper comprehension and appreciation of the classical authors most commonly read in our schools. The object of the present volume is to supply this want, by affording, in the most condensed form, and in such a manner as to admit of its being thoroughly mastered and retained, all the information respecting classical antiquity which is requisite for the earlier stages of study.
