Teachers and School Visitors, Before deciding upon the text-books on the subject of English Grammar to be used in the schools under their charge, are requested to examine GREENE'S IMPROVED GRAMMARS. The new and improved books, forming a complete series, are: AND GREENE'S, ENGLISH GRAMMAR. These Grammars were prepared by Prof. S. S. Greene, of Brown University. They are 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 exhibted, is simple and easy of attainment, differing 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 text-books to the wants of the different grades of schools, and his success is best manifested by the great and permanent popularity which his books have attained. His previous works have been long and favorably known to teachers and other friends of Education, and are extensively used in the better class of schools throughout the United States. He has prepared these last works after twelve years' additional experience, and it is believed that they are better suited to the wants of pupils and teachers, than any similar works now before the public. Though so recently issued, these new books are already used in fourteen cities and hundreds of important towns in New England alone. A large majority of the leading teachers in the country have given their testimony in their favor. In mechanical execution, and in point of economy, these books are not surpassed by any others. The above-named books will be furnished, for first introduction, at GREATLY REDUCED PRICES, so that in many cases it will be even MORE ECONOMICAL TO INTRODUCE THEM than to continue using inferior works. Copies of either of the above books will be furnished for examination with reference to introduction, on application to COWPERTHWAIT & CO., PHILADELPHIA, OR, IF MORE CONVENIENT, ΤΟ DEXTER S.

CAMP'S PRIMARY GEOGRAPHY, Prepared to accompany Mitchell's Outline Maps, and designed for Primary Schools and Classes. Price forty cents. This is a sensible book, and presents some important features in striking contrast with other Primary Geographies. Its DEFINITIONS are illustrated on the true method of "object teaching,”— first showing and describing the object, then giving the name. The MAP GEOGRAPHY, of which there is a most judicious selection, is arranged so that it can be recited and illustrated from the Outline Maps. The DESCRIPTIVE PARTS are brief, but interesting, and the selection of matter throughout is such as young pupils may easily comprehend and study with profit. CAMP'S INTERMEDIATE GEOGRAPHY, Prepared to accompany Mitchell's Outline Maps, and designed for Intermediate Schools and Classes. Price sixty cents. This book contains: 1st. INTRODUCTORY LESSON. 2d. GEOGRAPHICAL DEFINITIONS, illustrated by picture and map representations of the principal bodies of land and water. 3d. MAPS, on the plan of the Outline Maps, each followed by a Key and Questions for map exercises. 4th. DESCRIPTIVE GEOGRAPHY, presenting in a concise form the more important geographical facts relating to each country and the principal cities, and in addition, such peculiar characteristics as are the most striking, and such as will be the most useful to pupils. 5th. GENERAL QUESTIONS, following the description of each grand division, designed as review questions for the Book and Outline Maps. 6th. A PRONOUNCING VOCABULARY of all the geographical names used in the book. CAMP'S HIGHER GEOGRAPHY, Prepared to accompany Mitchell's Outline Maps, and designed for Grammar and High Schools, and the higher classes of District Schools. Price $1.20. This is a new book, on the plan of the INTERMEDIATE GEOGRAPHY, but more extensive. It contains a complete Key to the Outline Maps, a more full description of countries, and an outline of Physical Geography. CAMP'S MAPPING PLATES, Corresponding in size and scales with the maps in the Intermediate and Higher Geographies. Price thirty cents for set of nine plates. MITCHELL'S OUTLINE MAPS, Revised, improved, and important new maps added, by DAVID N. CAMP, Principal of the Connecticut State Normal School, and Superintendent of Common Schools. Price, $15.00 per set. CAMP'S GEOGRAPHIES have a unity of plan, and a conciseness and perspicuity of style, rarely found in a series of school-books; while the use of the OUTLINE MAPS, combined with lessons from the Geographies, is systematized, simplified, and made in the highest degree practical. With this Series, a thorough course of Geography may be obtained more easily, and in much less time than is usually given to the study. Copies will be sent by mail, for examination, on receipt of half the retail price. O. D. CASE & CO., Publishers. HARTFORD, CONN. IMPORTANT LITERARY ANNOUNCEMENT. CROSBY AND NICHOLS RESPECTFULLY ANNOUNCE THAT THE NORTH AMERICAN REVIEW, Which has for the last ten years been so ably conducted by Dr. Peabody, passes now into the editorial charge of PROF. JAMES RUSSELL LOWELL, AND CHARLES ELIOT NORTON, ESQ, gentlemen who, for sound and elegant scholarship, have achieved an enviable reputation, both in this country and in Europe, and whose taste, education, and experience, thorough loyalty and sympathy with the progressive element of the times, eminently qualify them for the position they have assumed. "THE NORTH AMERICAN REVIEW" is too well known to the literary world to require an extended notice. The ablest and most permanent publication of the kind in America, (see Appleton's Cyclopedia,) it has through all the changes of management sustained its high position as the leading review of this country, and as an able representative of American mind. Constantly maintaining a high character both for style and critical ability, its influence has been widely felt, and has largely contributed to make American literature what it is. From its commencement it has enlisted the pens of our ablest writers. Its list of editors and contributors includes nearly all our most distinguished authors, and some of our greatest statesmen and jurists, and the reputation of our best known essayists and reviewers are mainly founded upon their contributions to its pages. "THE NORTH AMERICAN REVIEW" will maintain in the hands of its new editors its established reputation for independent criticism, and for well-considered opinions in politics and literature. In discussing political and social questions, the spirit of the Review will be thoroughly national and loyal. It will defend and illustrate the distinctive principles on which the institutions of America are founded. In literature it will avail itself of the best material of thought and scholarship which the country can supply. In its criticism it will have no ends to serve but those of sound learning and good morals. Bound by strong associations to the past, in sympathy with the present, hopeful for the future, the Review will do its part in the intellectual movement of the times. "THE NORTH AMERICAN REVIEW" is published quarterly on the first days of January, April, July, and October, in numbers of about three hundred pages each, containing matter equal to four ordinary octavo volumes. TERMS.-Five dollars a year, or one dollar and twenty five cents per number. A new volume of the Review commences with the January number, and the publishers trust that the increased expenditures consequent upon the changes proposed in the future conduct of the work will be met by a generous increase of the patronage of the public.
