ELEMENTS OF POLITICAL ECONOMY. By FRANCIS 

 WAYLAND, D.D., President of Brown University. Fifteenth' Thousand. 

 12mo. cloth. Price $1.25 



" His object has been to write a book, which, any one who chooses may understand, fce 

 has, therefore, labored to express the general principles iu the plainest manner possible, 

 *md to illustrate them by cases \vith which every person is familiar. It has been to the 

 author a source of regret, that the course of discussion in the following pages, has, unoc 

 voidably, led him over ground which has frequently been the arena of political contro* 

 versy. In all such cases, he has endeavored to state what seemed to him to be truth, 

 without fear, favor, or affection. He is conscious to himself of no bias towards any partj 

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

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



POLITICAL ECONOMY, ABKIDGED, by the Author, am. 

 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 Moral 

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

 as in the other, the work has been wholly re-written, and an attempt has been made to 

 adopt it to the attainments of youth. 



41 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 are 

 deeply indebted to Dr. Way land, 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 be 

 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 

 popular impressions, and assist every man in forming opinions of public measures, 

 which will abide the test of time and experrence." 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 we 

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



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

 author's name is a guarantee for more than usual excellence. We wish it an extensive 

 circulation." New York Observer. 



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

 political economy of any treatise extant." Uailt/ Advocate. 



THOUGHTS on the present Collegiate System in the United States. 

 By FRANCIS WAY LAND, D.D. Price 50 cents. 



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

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

 ments in every department and in all their bearings, the book is very full of matter. We 

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



PALEY'S NATTTKAL THEOLOGY. Illustrated by forty plates, 

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

 oriirir.al and selected, for this edition ; with a vocabulary of Scientific 

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



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

 Indeed, without diligent attention and ?tudy. neither the excellences of it can be fully dis- 

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

 text-book, into the colleges and literary institutions of our country. The edition before ua 

 is 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 renders, 

 the young and the old, the igaor.nnt and the enlightened. Indeed, we recollect no book in 

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

 from his works are exhibited in a manner more attractive and more convincing."
