'' His obiect has been to write a book, which any one who chooses may understand. He 

 has, therefore, labored to express the general principles in the plainest manner po^ible, 

 and to illustrate them by cases with which every person is fainiliax. It has been i 

 author a source of regret, that the course of discussion in the fallowing pages, has, mi*, 

 voicliibly, Ifd him over ground which has frequently been the areiui of political contro- 

 versy. In alJ such cases, he has endeavored to state what seorned to him to be truth, 

 without fear, favor, or affection. Re is conscious to himself of no bias towards any i-a-ty 

 whatever, and he thinks that he who will read the whole work, will be convinced thit ha 

 ha been influenced by none." Extract from the Preface. 



POLITICAL ECONOMY, ABRIDGED, by the Author, and 

 adapted to the use of Schools and Academies. Seventh Thousand. 

 18mo. half morocco. Price 50 cents. 



%* The success which, has attended the abridgment of " The Elements of MorsJ 

 Science " has induced the author to prepare an abridgment of this work. In th 

 M in the other, the work has been wholly re-writteu, and an attempt has been inuat t-j 

 adopt it to the attainments of youth. 



" The original work of the author, on Political Economy, has already been noticed on 

 our pages ; and the present abridgment stands in no need of a recommendation from us. 

 We may be permitted, however, to say, that both the rising and risen generations arc 

 deeply indebted to Dr. Wayland, for the skill and power he has put forth to bring a highly 

 important subject distinctly before them, within such narrow limits. Though ' abridged 

 for the use of academies,' it deserves to be introduced into every private family, and to he 

 studied by every man who has an interest in the wealth and prosperity of his country. It 

 is a subject little understood, even practically, by thousands, and still less understood 

 theoretically. It is to be hoped, this will form a class-book, and be faithfully studied in 

 our academies ; and that it will find its way into every family library ; not there to be 

 shut up unread, but to afford rich material for thought and discussion in the family 

 circle. It is fitted to enlarge the mind, to purify the judgment, to correct erroneous 

 popule.r impressions, and assist every man in forming opinions of public measure8, 

 which will abide the test of time and experience." Boston Recorder. 



" An abridgment of this clear, common sense work, designed for the use of academies 

 is just published. We rejoice to see such treatises spreading among the people ; and w 

 urge all who would be intelligent freemen, to read them." JYew York Transcript. 



" We can say, with safety, that the topics are well selected and arranged ; that the 

 author's name "is u iruarantee fos. more than usual excellence. We wish it an extensive 

 circulation." X~ew Fork Observer. 



" It is well adapted to high schools, and embraces the soundest system of republican 

 political economy of any treatise extant." Daily Advocate. 







THOUGHTS on the present Collesjinte System in the United States. 

 Bv FRANCIS WAYLAND, D.D. Price 50 cents. 



/ 



" These Thoughts come from a source entitled to a very respectful attention ; and as ths 

 author goes over the whole ground of collegiate education, criticising freely all the arrange, 

 r.ents in every department and in all their hearings, the book is very full of matter. We 

 hope it will prove the beginning of a thorough discussion." 



P&LEY'S NATURAL THEOLOGY. Illustrated by forty plates, 

 and Selections from the notes of Dr. Paxton, with additional Notes, 

 original and selected, for this edition ; with a vocabulary of Scientiilo 

 Terms. Edited by JOHN WARE, M.D. 12mo. sheep. Price $1.25. 



" The work before us is one which deserves rather to be studied than merely read. 

 kad*ed without diligent attention and ?tudy, neither the excellences of it can be fullj dl*" 

 covered, nor its advantages realized. It is, therefore, gratifying to find it introduced, & a 

 text-book, into the colleges and literary institutions of our coun-try. The edition before m 

 U superior to any we have seen, and, we believe, superior to any that has yet been pub- 

 lished." Spirit of the Pilgrims. 



"Perhaps no one of our author's works gives greater satisfaction to all classes of reader^ 

 Ibe young and the old, the ignorant and the enlightened. Indeed, we recollect no book ia 

 which the arguments for the existence and attributes of the Supreme Being, to be diwa 

 from bis worki are exhibited in a manner more attractive and more convincing."
