 Questions for Examination. By the late W. BUTLER, loth 

 Edition. With an Appendix, by Tiioimas Bourn. 12nio. 6s. bound. 



"We have no scruple in saying that this is 

 one of the best; books of the kind that liave 

 come before us. It agreeably blends a great 



deal of amusement witli much important in- 

 struction, is very ingeniously arranged, and, 

 what is not its least merit, is very neatly 

 printed. — British Critic. 



This volume contains a greater number of 

 problems than we remember to have seen be- 

 fore collected ; and the examples by whicli 

 each problem is illustrated are many and va- 

 rious. — Ladies' Monthly Mus. 



This work has undoubtedly merit, and 

 contains much useful information,— Mo?(</i(^

Of Mr. Butler's " Exercises" it may be 

 &fi5rmed, that it would be difficult to fix upon 

 any book of equal size that contains so nmch 

 interesting matter, collected from various 

 sources, on almost every subject ; and al- 

 ways illustrative of some historical fact, or 

 of some important invention, or devoted to 

 the celebration of heroic deeds in ancient 

 aud modern times. — Aikin's Annual Revieiv." 



In the present advanced state of science, 

 it would be a severe reflection on any young 

 persons pretending to education, to observe 

 tliat tliey had no knowledge of geography 

 and astronomy. It is so essential, that no 

 other attainments can atone for the defici- 

 ency; and that education has been badly 

 conducted, which leaves tlie pupil unac- 

 q,uainted with tiiese interesting, useful, and 

 sublime sciences. To facilitate the acquire- 

 ineuts of youth in these noble attainments, 

 the work before us is admirably adapted ; 

 and, that the public are aware of its import- 

 ance, this tenth edition bears testimony. 



On the terrestrial globe, the problems are 

 57, and on the celestial 52, making in all 



industrious student may become acquainted, 

 with little or no assistance from a master. 

 By tlic lornier of these, the principal pheno- 

 mena of the earth will become familiar, aud 

 by the latter, the heavens will add to the 

 reader's stock of knowledge. 



Connected with the problems on the ter- 

 restrial globe, we have many historical inci- 

 dents and biographical notices, calculated 

 at once to fiu-nish entertainment, and to im- 

 parl) valuable inlbrmaiiou to the youthful 

 mind. By a copious explanation of terms 

 which the author has given, the words that 

 occur may be easily understood ; but time, 

 attention, and perseverance, will all be need- 

 ful to the pupils successful proficiency. 



Attached to the problems on the celestial 

 globe, is an historical account of the con- 

 stellations, which carries us into the remote 

 periods of antiquity, and spreads before us 

 the ample field of heathen mythology. These 

 details are enlivened with numerous and 

 appropriate quotations from some of our 

 most distinguished poets, and ill ustrated with 

 the opinions of our most celebrated astrono- 

 mers. The appendix contains many useful 

 remarks on the differeut constellations, and 

 assists the reader in discovering in the hea- 

 vens, in their magnitudes, distances, bear- 

 ings, aud time of appearance, the stars which 

 had been already found on the surface of the 

 globe. 



The ftime of this work is too firmly esta- 

 blished to be either shaken or augmented 

 by any oliservations we can make ; but we 

 rejoice in having an opportunity of concur- 

 ring with those who have more largely de- 

 scanted on its merits, and in congratulating 

 an enlightened public in thus countenancing a 

 work of such vast utility. — Imperial Maga- 

 zine.
