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.

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.

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.

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.
