Wholesale and Retail. Dec. A ADAPTED TO Public Schools, Academies, Seminaries and Colleges. THE NATIONAL SERIES OF SCHOOL READERS. This is a well graduated series, consisting of five numbers, two Spellers and one Primer. No. 1, with the Primer, contains the popular WORD BUILDING METHOD, which has in a measure rendered these books so deservedly popular. It is the only Word Method that may be regarded as a system. The subjects and language of the lower numbers are simple and easily comprehended; and throughout the series each number has its peculiar features, and is well adapted to the wants of the pupils for whom they were designed. PARKER & WATSON'S NATIONAL ELEMENTARY SPELLER, THE NATIONAL SERIES OF MATHEMATICS. THE PRIMARY ARITHMETIC is adapted to the capacity and wants of the young child. Sensible objects are used to illustrate and make familiar the simple combinations and relations of numbers. Thus the mind of the pupil is gradually led from what is visible and tangible to the more abstract properties of numbers. THE INTELLECTUAL ARITHMETIC presents a thorough and complete analysis of the science of numbers, and forms a full course of Mental Arithmetic. THE PRACTICAL ARITHMETIC combines theory and practice; explains and illus trates principles, and applies them to the common transactions of life, thus making it emphatically a practical work. THE UNIVERSITY ARITHMETIC is designed for more advanced classes, and treats of numbers principally as a science. The other Books of the series are as follows: DAVIES' NEW ELEMENTARY ALGEBRA, DAVIES' UNIVERSITY ALGEBRA, DAVIES' BOURDON'S ALGEBRA, DAVIES' ELEMENTARY GEOMETRY AND TRIGONOMETRY, DAVIES' LEGENDRE'S GEOMETRY, DAVIES' ELEMENTS OF SURVEYING, DAVIES' PRACTICAL MATHEMATICS, DAVIES' ANALYTICAL GEOMETRY AND CALCULUS, DAVIES' LOGIC OF MATHEMATICS, DAVIES' SHADES, SHADOWS, AND PERSPECTIVE, THE NATIONAL SYSTEM OF ENGLISH GRAMMAR. Clark's English Grammar is now one of the most prominent and popular Books before the public. Its plan is simple and comprehensive; definitions brief and clear; arrangement natural; its diagrams, with which the relations of elements are illustrated, profuse; and the whole a work of superior merit and a decided advance on anything hitherto published. CLARK'S FIRST LESSONS, CLARK'S ENGLISH GRAMMAR, CLARK'S ANALYSIS OF ENGLISH LANGUAGE, CLARK'S KEY TO ENGLISH GRAMMAR, CLARK'S ETYMOLOGICAL CHART (Mounted), CLARK'S GRAMMATIC CHART CLARK'S GRAMMATIC CHART (on muslin). THE NATIONAL SERIES OF GEOGRAPHIES. The rapid and extensive circulation of these books has no parallel in the history of any other text-book of their kind in this country. Its happy combination of History and Geography, in the lower numbers, is a feature that has elicited the unbounded praise of our best educators. MONTEITH'S NATIONAL GEOGRAPHY, No. 1, These Books, for first introduction, or for single copies to examine with a view to introduction, will be supplied at one-half retail price.

The College School forms the Preparatory Department of the College of Califor nia, in which students are fitted in regular course for the College, in all the required branches,-up to the standard of this or of any of the Eastern Colleges. A well-proportioned general education is bestowed upon those who do not desire to pursue the full college course. Thorough discipline is required in the English branches. Especial attention is given to Mathematics and the Natural Sciences. Competent preparation is imparted for the professions of Civil Engineering and Surveying. Book-Keeping and Penmanship are taught as well as they commonly are in schools exclusively commercial. The Teachers in this Institution are all professional men, who have occupied prominent positions in the work of education in Colleges or as Principals of Schools and Academies. The School, with its graded divisions, forms, in connection with the College, a chain of Departments, where, upon a consistent plan, and with steady advancement, students may receive a complete, solid, and finished education. The location is perhaps the best in the State for healthful physical development. The students of twelve years of age and under find a home by themselves at the table and under the care of the gentleman and lady who are their principal instructors. Over all of the students a watchful supervision is exercised. The highest ends and results of education are assiduously sought. For Circulars and Catalogues, please address Rev. I. H.

The most beautiful American publications of the kind we have seen, and the most completely adapted to the "Object" method of instruction.-Illinois Teacher.
