GREENE'S SERIES OF ENGLISH GRAMMARS. Greene's Introduction to the Study of English Grammar. This Series of Grammars has been prepared by Prof. S. S. GREENE, of Brown University, and is the result of a long and careful study of the language itself, as well as of the best methods of teaching it. The system by which the principles of the language are here exhibited is simple and easy of attainment, and differs in many essential particulars from that of any other author. Prof. Greene's connection with Public Schools, Normal Schools, and Teachers' Institutes, has given him peculiar facilities for adapting a series of text books to the wants of the different grades of Schools, and his success is best manifested by the great popularity which these Grammars have attained.

ATKINS resumes, after a year's absence, the control of this Institution, and hopes, with renewed health, energy and care, on her part, and with the assistance of her old corps of well-known and thoroughly qualified teachers, to make the school worthy of the patronage of a discriminating public. This Institution has never been sold, or its ownership transferred; but it was rented for one year, with the special understanding that its character and identity should be preserved. The period of rent has expired; and on Miss ATKINS' return to the school, it becomes established on a more permanent basis than ever before. The Discipline, Regulation and Course of Study of the school are such as have been published, annually, in its Catalogues; or, materially, such as are found in the best regulated Seminaries for Young Ladies.
