 and AUGUSTUS A. GOULD. 



Extracts from the Preface. ~ 



" The design of this work is to furnish an epitome of the leading principles of the science 

 f Zoology, as deduced from the present state of knowledge, so illustrated as to be intelligible 

 vO the beginning student. No similar treatise now exists in this country, and indeed, some 

 of the topics have not been touched upon in the language, unless in a strictly technical 

 fcna, and in scattered articles." 



" Being designed for American students, the illustrations have been drawn, as far as pos- 

 lible, from American objects. * * * Eopulnr names have been employed as far as possible, 

 and to the scientific names an English termination has generally been given. The first part 

 is d ivoted to Comparative Physiology, as the basis of Classification ; the second to System- 

 atic Zoology, in which the principles of Classification will be applied, and Ke principal 

 groups of animals briefly characterized." 



MODERN FRENCH LITERATURE; By L. RATMOT DE VERI 



COUR, formerly lecturer in the Royal Athenasum of PITIJ. member of the 

 Institute of France, &c. American edition, brought ,own to the present 

 day, and revised with notes by WILLIAM S. CHASE. With a fine portra-t 

 of LAMAKTINE. 



*** This Treatise has received the highest praise as a comprehensive and thorough survey 

 of the various departments of Modern French Literature. It contains biographical and 

 critical notes of all the prominent names in Philosophy, Criticism, History, Romance 

 Poetry, and the Drama; and presents a full and impartial consideration of the Politiroi 

 Tendencies of France, as they may be traced in the writings of authors equally conspic u- 

 ous as Scholars and as Statesmen. Mr. Chase, who has been the Parisian correspondent of 

 several leading periodicals of this country, is well qualified, from a prolonged residence in 

 France, his familiarity with its Literature, and by a personal acquaintance with msny of 

 6\ese authors, to introduce the work of De Vericour to the American public. 



" This is the only complete treatise of the kind on this subject, either in French or Eng- 

 lish, and has received the highest commendation. Mr. Chase is well qualified to introdae* 

 the work to the public. The book cannot fail to be both useful and popular." New Tvft 

 Evening Post. 



THE CICERONIAN; Or the Prussian Method of Teaching the 

 Latin Language. Adapted to the use of American Schools, by B. SEAKS. 

 ISmo. half morocco. Price 50 cents. 



From the Professors of Harvard University. 



" ~W* beg leave to observe, that we consider this book a very valuable addition to our 

 stock of elementary works. Its great merit is, that it renders the elementary insVruction in 

 Latin less mechanical, by constantly calling thr reasoning power of the pupil into ai'tii u, 

 and gives, from the beginning, a deeper insight into the very nature, principles, and lawi 

 not only of the Latin language, but of language in general. If the book required any 

 Other recommendation besides that of being the work of so thorough and txperiei'Ctd H 

 scholar as Dr. Sears, it would be this, that the system illustrated in it is not a mere theory; 

 but has been practically tested by many able instructors in Germany. We wish that :!; 

 same trial may be made here. Very respectfully yours, CHARLKS !',r
