McCvbdy’s Arithmetic —Wm. Kay, Publish
er, Atlanta, Ga. Mailed to all parts, (free
of postage) for $1 50.
We have examined this work, now
completed, and take pleasure in recommending
it to the patronage of-the Southern public. It
is beyond question, better adapted to the wants
of Southern Schools than anything of the kind
we have seen, and in addition to this, is the
recommendation of having been gotten up by
Southern talent and industry.
The work is practical, aud the examples are
such as occur in the daily transactions of life,
applying rules and principles to just such cases
alone, and thus relieving the pupil of his great
est difficulty, by presenting familiar examples,
instead of complex and unheard of exercises
which, however well they may illustrate the
rule does not familiarize him with its applica
tion—the great desideratini in mathematical
studies. See advertisement in another column.

Extracts f.om Criticisms of the Press.
“The writer, whoever is, he wield a powerful pen
and tears the veil of humbuggery from many pop
ular fallacies with great skill.”— Boe. Evening
Gazette.
“Lucy Boston is a great book. It is one of the
keenest satires we have seen. It is caricature,
broad enough to make those laugh who are hit
by it—and yet so [clever as to be unmistakable
in its application No analysis can give any
proper idea of it. Seldom have we seen moreTde
cided hits in one volume of 400 pages. It is
hardly inferior in some respects, to Gulliver’s
Travels.”— Mor. Chron. Partemouth N. H.
“It will repay the purchaser in its perusal, let
him be who be may. If he reads for amusement
he will find entertainment enough; if for profit,
he can scarcely fail to derive benefit from it."—A T .
K Sunday Deepaich, ’
“An admirably well told story. Some of tho
acenes are irresistibly ludricious. The whole vol
ume is well done, aud calculated to work a good
effect upon the minds of those who are carried
away by these modern follies.”— N. V. Observer.
“We pronounce this book a brilliant produc
tion. The pages sparkle with wit. and place the
whole matter in the truest light.— Gaz. Granby
Canada.
“Alas for poor humanity 1 The saddest, dark
est page in human history remains for the histo
rian of the ninetenth century.”
•‘There is chivalry in the author, and he hos
rung his bright lance gallantly on the black buck
ler of error.”— The Criterion N. Y.
“It contains some broad humor, and has many
good hits.”— N. Y. Courier 4 Enquirer.
•It is heartily done. The points are very in
geniously put. The subject is lair game for sa
tire. The book will provoke a smile, end serve
to sbarp°n the public contempt of th- very shal
low theories that are afloat.”— N. Y. Evangelist.
“This volume gives evidences of sprightltneM,
a keen appreciation of the weak points of the ad
vocates of the two movements ridiculed, and has
fine touch ee of keen satire. It will lie relished
bv a wide circle of readers. The pages contain
many lively sentences which convey a practical
lesson in a falicious manner.”— Bos. Trans.
“The work is written in a vigorous style, and
charaetere are well sustained. The scenes are
given with Much zest, and many a hearty laugh
will be enjoyed by those who pursue the work."
—Boston Journal.
“It is decidedly rich and racy showing up the
follies of which it treats in a manner that while
it treads the very verge of caricature, tells effec
tively against these so called reforms.— Dem Roc.
lllinoia.
‘•lf we 4 werc allowed to say only ons word about
this book, that word would be excellent.
The scenes are portrayed in in a most graphic
and amusing manner. The author io a perfect
American Dickens in delineating character, and
in dialogue he is admirable.
• • • “Whatever the whining, carping
dreamer may say, he is still compelled to laugh
while he objects, and he must admit the every
thing stated, is at least possible.
• * • “Purchase it, reader, at once, if you
wish to laugh and learn.”— Boa. Daily Mail.'
‘ Thia is the beet hit at two of the prevailing
folltee of this age, that we have seen. Fred Folio
embraces the humorist and satirist in an unusual
degree, and has made a book which will make
more fun than any we know of. It has some side
splitting scenes.”— Fulton Patriot.
".•A Largs Edition of 10,000 copizs of
this Book, were ordered in advance of its publica
tion, and still and unflagging interest continues
Everyone will be enraptured with Lucy—a work
of great dramatic rowia and xxcitiso nui
tick—unsurpassed by any Romance extant.

N. Y. Day Book.
• • • The moral of the book is inestima
ble. The writer cannot fail to be good, as she so
faithfully portrays the evils which owe their ori
gin to the criminal neglect of proper parental dis
cipline.—Hunt's Merchrints’ Magazine.
• • • The plot is full of dramatic interest
yet entirely free from extravagance; the incidents
grow out of the main plot easily and jiaturally,
while the sentiment is healthy and uqajTected.—
Commend us to more writers like Cousin Cicely
—books which we can see in the hands of our
young people without uneasiness. Books which
interest by picturing life as it is, instead of giving
us galvanized society.— National Demecrcit.

of use in the world. The style being such as to
force the youth to aspire to be and to do.
The idea that all may be useful, is beautifully
set forth in the story of “The Crippled Orphan of
the Tyrol.” “The Lyoneae Weaver” is an ex
ample of perseverance rewarded The “Russian
Prodigy” will lead many to imitate her in appli
cation to study, while the “Tempter and the

The Carmina Sacra;

By Lowell Mason.
Thia book, (which is just published,) is a care
ful and thorough revision of the favorite work
heretofore published under the same title. The
Carmine Sacra has probably had a more exten
sive circulation than any other work of the kind
Inver published in this country. But some por
tion of the work has been found leu generally
useful than might be wished. Bence, the ide*
of this revision. The object has been to retain
the moat valuable and universally pleasing part
of the former work as the basis of the now; to
[ select and omit such portions of the same as ex
- perience proved the least serviceable and popular,
: and to aubatitute choice tune* and pieces, select
: ed from the whole range of the author’s former
i works, appending additional page* of entirely
I new and interesting music from other sources.—
’: The work is done, and in it* present form, un
