TEXT.

THERE is every-
where apparent in
the latest addition
to Prof. Guyot's
unsurpassed series
of Geographies, the
same methodical
arrangement of top-
ics and the same
strict regard to the
capacities of the
pupils, whose needs
it is intended to
supply, which have
distinguished the
preceding issues of
the series, and
which have made
them such favorites
among the teachers
throughout the

country. Through
the text will be
found distribu-
ted a large number
of illustrations (a
specimen of which
isannexed) executed
in the highest style
of the designers
and engravers' arts.

MAPS.

GUYOT's Geograph-
ies are justly cele
brated for the ex-
cellence of their
maps and the Gram.
mar-School Geog
raphy comes fully
up to the high
standard of the
others in this re-
spect. As this Geo-
graphy is more ad-
vanced than any of
the others, the maps
are of course pro-
portionately more
detailed, but the
same care has been
taken with this, as
with the other, not
to fill the maps with
numbers of names
of insignificant pla-
ces, rivers, etc. As
in the other Geogra-
phies, the maps are
carefully colored, to
show at a glance the
varying elevation of
the land, and in this
respect serve to aid
very greatly the
study of the de-
scriptive portion of

the text.

"HUMBOLDT is the founder of Comparative Geography, that all-embracing science of our globe, unfolded with a master-hand, by CARL RITTER, and which has now its ablest representative in our own GUYOT, the author of the Maps before you."—Prof. Agassiz's Boston Oration on Humboldt, September 14, 1869.

Prof. Gugot's Wall Maps,

FOR

SCHOOLS AND COLLEGES.

We present the following reasons why they should be adopted :—

First. The theory of Humboldt and Ritter, that Physical Geography very largely controls Civil and Political Geography, is acknowledged and accepted as the correct one.

Second. It is, therefore, highly important that pupils become intimately acquainted with the leading physical forms of the globe, for these exert controlling influence.

Third. This knowledge can be readily acquired only through the sense of sight, by consulting properly constructed Maps.

Fourth.-Guyot's Maps, by their different shades of coloring and various profile sections, convey this information at a glance, and they are the only ones that do.

They also indicate the intimate relations existing between the natural world and the world as modified by man.

Fifth.-Guyot's Maps answer all the purposes of the ordinary Political Maps, and supplement their deficiencies by the addition of the physical representations.

Sixth. They convey to the eye more information than many books do through long chapters of text; hence, used in the lower classes, they prepare the pupil for the successful study of Physical Geography proper; and in the higher classes of Physical Geography, they are an indispensable aid,

Dana's Manual of Mineralogy and Geology.

EXTRACT FROM A NOTE BY J. D. DANA, PROFESSOR OF GEOLOGY AND MINERALOGY IN YALE COLLEGE.

"There is no studying mineralogy or geology without a collection of this kind. Every academy in New York, as well as in the other States, should have one. The pages of description in the pamphlet which acompanies the collection will be a help to beginners in the study."

Every teacher called upon to give instruction in mineralogy or geology has appreciated the impossibility of making these sciences understood practically from the book alone. Specimens of the different Minerals and Rocks are absolutely indispensable; yet it is extremely difficult for the instructor to procure these as they may be desired for the purposes of illustration.

Seymour's Collections of Minerals and Rocks

supply this want precisely. They are put up in neat, black walnut cases, and the specimens, both mineralogical and geological, are arranged according to the manuals of

THE ADVANCED STUDENT'S COLLECTION

IN MINERALOGY,

WITH THE ADVANCED STUDENT'S COLLECTION IN GEOLOGY.

TWO HUNDRED SPECIMENS.

In two Pasteboard Cases, $50 00; in two Black Walnut Cases, $55 CO.

Accompanying the elementary collection is an

EXPLANATORY PAMPHLET,

which describes clearly and succinctly each of the fifty specimens, thus enabling the student to gain a knowl. edge of the elements of Mineralogy and Geology without the aid of a text-book. Teachers will find this pamphlet an invaluable aid in the instruction of classes.

Any of the collections specified above will be forwarded to any address on receipt of the prices named, the purchaser paying express charges.

The descriptive pamphlet will be sent separately on receipt of twenty-five cents.

MANUAL OF MYTHOLOGY

FOR THE USE OF

Schools, Art Students, and General Readers,

FOUNDED ON THE WORKS OF PETISCUS, PRELLER, AND WELCKER. By ALEXANDER S. MURRAY,

Department of Greek and Roman Antiquities, British Museum.

With 45 Plates on tinted paper, representing more than 90 Mythological Subjects. REPRINTED FROM THE SECOND REVISED LONDON EDITION.

There has long been needed a compact, manageable Manual of Mythology, which should be a guide to the art student and the general reader, and at the same time answer the purposes of a school text-book. This volume which has been prepared by the Director of the Department of Greek and Roman Antiquities in the British Museum, upon the basis of the works of Petiscus, Preller, and Welcker, has had so extensive a sale in the English edition, as to prove that it precisely supplies this want. This American edition has been reprinted from the latest English edition, and contains all the illustrations of the latter, while the chapter upon Eastern Mythology has been carefully revised by Professor W. D. WHITNEY, of Yale College.

N. B.- Teachers wishing to examine this work, with a view to introducing it as a text-book, will have it sent to them, by forwarding their address and $1.35.
