I. Guyot's New Geographies.

Series

GUYOT'S ELEMENTARY GEOGRAPHY. GUYOT'S NEW INTERMEDIATE GEOGRAPHY. GUYOT'S PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY.

These books have been thoroughly revised, furnished with new maps and illustrations throughout, and are the best theoretical and practical manuals of Geography now issued. They have been fitted and shaped EXPERIMENTALLY to the exact wants of every-day school room work. They are so widely used as to be THE NATIONAL STANDARD.

FEATURES OF THE

New Elementary Geography.

Experience in the Schools has made it plain that the substance and methods of this admirable little manual cannot very well be improved.

No change, therefore, has been made in its plan or instructions, except that of bringing all its statements of political facts fully up to date.

It has been provided, however, with a complete set of fifteen new, distinct, and beautiful maps.

The lessons "About Home," in the introductory portions of the book, will suggest to the inventive, skilful teacher, a whole series of "Object Lessons," the value of which can hardly be estimated.

After these preparatory lessons, embracing skilfully prepared exercises in direction and distance and geographical forms of the country in the midst of which he lives, the pupil's attention is gradually directed outward to consider adjacent lands, and finally to view the World as a whole.

FEATURES OF THE

New Intermediate Geography.

This new book contains twenty finely engraved copper-plate maps, which for accuracy and distinctness of expression are not excelled.

Its text is symmetrically arranged, containing every valuable feature of the old book, reconstructed so as to include also a skilful treatment of Industrial and Commercial Geography.

Its introductory lessons are considerably extended, and the whole work is of wider scope than the old one; yet the instructions are so admirably discriminated and classified, that the whole work is distinctly and thoroughly presented within 98 pages.

No other book of Geography extant presents so interesting and significant a series of Class Exercises, Model Lessons, Summaries and Reviews as are contained in this book.

At the close of each Continent are given the Classification of its Cities, and Summaries of its Industrial and Commercial Geography, for example:

Guyot's Wall Maps

Still continue to be THE STANDARD. They are now offered at such prices as to be available to all.

GUYOT'S CLASSICAL WALL MAPS have now nearly superseded the use of the foreign ones (their only competitors), and should be in every first class school.

**NOTE.-In order to bring the price of Guyot's Wall Maps within the means of all grades of schools the publishers take pleasure in announcing a large reduction in net prices, as follows:

[merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small][ocr errors][ocr errors][ocr errors][merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small]

HEWITT'S NEW KEY renders the instruction of the Maps easily accessible to all classes of teachers and all grades of schools.
