SMITH'S NEW GEOGRAPHY

Containing a Concise Text, and Explanatory Notes,

WITH OVER 100 MAPS,

FOR THE USE OF SCHOOLS IN THE UNITED STATES AND CANADA.
BY ROSWELL C. SMITH, A. M.,

AUTHOR OF SEVERAL SCHOOL BOOKS.........

.QUARTO. PRICE $1.00.

SMITH'S NEW GEOGRAPHY has been in course of preparationfor many years, and is the crowning production of the distinguished author. No pains have been spared to combine in this work ALL that is essential to a complete and comprehensive School Geography, and great care has been taken in its construction to render it of the greatest practical usefulness in the school-room and family. The following are some of its features which deserve attention : I. Clearness and comprehensiveness of expression in the Text, especially in the Definitions; it being the aim of the author to teach the pupils just what they want to know, and in as few words as practicable.

II. Superior colored Maps. exhibiting the Races, Religions, Governments, and states of Civilization of different nations.

III. Forty-four Vicinity Maps of the Principal Cities on the globe.

IV. Thirty-two large full-paged Maps of States

and Countries.

and terms. This feature is of great practical value to teachers, and intelligent scholars.

VI. Comparative Map on a uniform scale, exhibiting the relative size of the different Countries and larger Islands on the globe.

VII. Railroad Map of the United States, exhibiting the principal railway lines, with their connections.

VIII. Physical Geography, with Humboldt's System of Isothermal Lines.

IX. Outline of Mathematical Geography. V. Copious Marginal Notes and Explanations, X. Geographical Clock, exhibiting the relative giving the derivation and meaning of difficult words time of day under different degrees of Longitude. FROM PROF. F. A. ALLEN, CHESTER COUNTY NORMAL SCHOOL.

Messrs. J. B. LIPPINCOTT & Co.:

Dear Sirs:- Some time since, we placed in the hands of our advanced Teachers' Class a supply of Smith's New Geography, both for study and recitation, and for criticism; and the result of our experience with the work has been such as to satisfy us of its value and superiority as a text-book. It is without doubt the most comprehensive work of its size now published, and sufficiently comprehensive to answer all the purposes of an advanced work for higher institutions.

An important and valuable feature in the work, and one to which the attention of teachers ought to be called, is the marginal notes and definitions. In these will be found answers to the thousand and one" questions asked by inquisitive pupils, such as- Why are burning mountains called volcanoes?" Why are the great plains in North America called prairies or savannas, while in South America they are called pampas and llanos, in Europe heaths, and in Asia steppes?" "How are these words pronounced, and what do they mean?" These and a host of similar questions, are answered and fully explained. Upon every page of the work this feature stands out.

The original small maps, exhibiting the Races, Religions, Governments, and states of Civilization, the Isothermal lines, Volcanic systems, etc., etc., together with the forty-four Vicinity Maps, and the thirty-two full-page Maps, are not surpassed by any other work extant.

The pages devoted to Ancient Geography, embracing Maps of the Roman Empire, and other noted places of antiquity, will prove a very acceptable feature to every teacher. The work is sufficiently full upon this point to give a clear and general knowledge of the subject. The department of Physi cal Geography is quite satisfactory. Enough is given to serve as an outline of the study.

Among the many excellent features in the work, we cannot fail to call the attention of all to the Comparative Map, on a uniform scale, as well as the Celestial Map and Diagrams. These, in connection with the Geographical Clock, are matters of sufficient importance alone to commend the work. The test to which we are daily submitting this work proves highly satisfactory to all concerned; and, though somewhat prejudiced against it at first, we are now fully convinced of its merits, an evidence of which is found in the fact that we have adopted it as our standard text-book in Geography. Very respectfully yours, F. A. ALLEN, Principal of C. C. N. School.

FROM THE MASS. TEACHER.

"All we have to say is, that this Geography is a novelty and a choice one too. If we had to select to-day a geographical text-book for our own use we should choose this." *

TEACHERS will be furnished with copies of the work, in flexible covers, by mail, for examination, upon receipt of 25 cents in money or postage stamps, by the Publishers; and schools will be supplied with the work, for introduction, upon accommodating terms.

A TREATISE ON THE ENGLISH LANGUATE,
Large 8vo. In preparation.

BY SIMON KERL, A. M.

FROM THE HON. H. H. BARNEY.

Principal of Cincinnati Normal School, and late Superintendent of Common Schools, Ohio. It is not often I am inclined to recommend a book. But Mr. Kerl's "Comprehensive English Grammar" contains so wide a range of valuable information upon the principles and structure of the English language, and presents that information in a manner so admirably adapted to attract, interest and instruct teachers as well as pupils, that I deem it a duty, as well as a privilege, to express my high appreciation of his valuable work. I have read and carefully considered the work,- every word of it, and feel no hesitation in expressing my belief, that, for clearness and conciseness of definitions, judicious arrangement and variety of topics, number and appropriateness of exercises, and the lucid and ingenious manner in which every subject and topic has been presented and discussed, it is not surpassed by any kindred treatise in the English language. It has, therefore, in my judgment, preeminent claims, as a text-book, to be used not only in our Common Schools, but in our Academies, High Schools and Colleges. It ought, at least. to have a place on the table of every enterprising teacher in the public or private schools of this country; for, as a book of reference, it will afford essential aid in giving breadth and exactness to his knowledge, and thus qualify him to impart a liberal amount of valuable oral instruction.

In constructing a synoptical view of the conjugation of verbs, and in the presentation and analysis of rhetorical figures, of versification and scanning, as well as of the principles and rules of punctuation, the author has made a decided hit, and merits, on this account alone, the gratitude of pupils, teachers and the public at large.

Let any one examine Wilson's elaborate treatise on Punctuation, and compare it with the pages on which Mr. Kerl has presented this whole matter, and he will readily accord to the latter the merit of being more precise, clear, simple and practical.

In the matter of “False Syntax,” or “ Examples to be Corrected," this work, in regard to the number, variety, interesting character, and general adaptation of the exercises, ranges far above and beyond any kindred work.

I cannot close my brief review of this truly "Comprehensive Grammar," without urging attention to the "Examples to be Corrected," and to the admirable manner in which the subjects of "Rhetorical Figures," "Poetry, Versification and Scanning," have been presented and discussed. These are among the crowning excellencies of the work, and merit a careful examination by all who would appreciate the beauties of chaste and refined literature. No one can read the author's exposition of a single one of the subjects just mentioned, without feeling that it is worth the whole price of the book. FROM THE HON. ANDREW J. RICKOFF.

President of the National Teachers' Association, and formerly Superintendent of the Public Schools of

Cincinnati.

I believe the book has no superior in the conciseness precision, and clearness of its definitions. Of its completeness, arrangement, adaptation to the purposes of a text-book for schools of all grades, I feel that I may speak with confidence. In these respects, though it is saying much, I believe it has no equal. In its copious parsing exercises, and exercises in False Syntax, the teacher will find, what I have known many to look for in vain in other books, an almost inexhaustible supply of materials for the practice in the analysis and correct construction of our language. This is what is most needed; and because it has been so little attended to, much time has been utterly wasted in the study of English grammar.

PROF. JAMES HADLEY, OF YALE COLLEGE, SAYS:

"My impression is, that Mr. Kerl's proposed Grammars will be successful, and that they will deserve success. He is evidently a man of independent thought, with much facility and pliancy of talent, and uncommon powers of expression and illustration."

PROF. FRANCIS J. CHILD, OF HARVARD UNIVERSITY, SAYS:

"I have met with observations that were new to me, and I have not met such errors as I have generally found in similar works. It is not only superior to the majority of such works, but also a remarkably thorough, intelligent and useful treatise."
