to the perusal of all classes, especially to
men of business, who find little leisure for reading, and who yet
are unwilling to be left behind in the great march of knowledge and
improvement. _As there is now a strong desire, especially among the
enlightened friends of education in this state, to have the common
schools supplied with suitable books for libraries, we heartily
commend this series to the notice of all who are desirous of
obtaining books for this object. They are unquestionably among the
best that have been prepared for school libraries, being every way
attractive and instructive._

No one can fail to be pleased with the simplicity and elegance of
the style, and with the vein of cheerfulness, humanity, and

should be scattered all over the land.

_From the New England Puritan_,

We cordially recommend the work to the perusal of all.

_From the Boston Post_,

combines a vast deal of useful information, conveyed in an
exceedingly interesting style. The beauty of the typographical
execution, the cheapness of the volumes, and the great intrinsic
merit of their contents, must render the work one of general
popularity.

_From the Boston Courier_,

As we have quoted so largely from Mr. Goodrich's work, we ought to
