All the recent improvements are included in Olney's Quarto and School Geogra- 

 phies. They are not obsolete or out of date, but fully " up to the times." In ele- 

 gance or completeness they are not surpassed. 



Mr. Olney commenced the plan of simplifying the first lesson, and teaching a child 

 by what is familiar, to the exclusion of astronomy. He commenced the plan of hav- 

 ing only those things represented on the maps which the pupil was required to 

 learn. He originated the system of classification, and of showing the government, 

 religion, &c., by symbols. He first adopted the system of carrying the pupil over 

 the earth by means of the Atlas. His works first contained cuts, in which the dress, 

 architecture, animals, internal improvements, &c., of each country are grouped, so 

 as to be seen at one view. His works first contained the world as known to the An- 

 cients, as an aid to Ancient History, and a Synopsis of Physical Geography, with 

 maps. In short, we have seen no valuable feature in any geography which has not 

 originally appeared in these works; and we think it not too much to claim that, in 

 many respects, most other works are copies of these. We think that a. fair and 

 candid examination will show that Olney's Atlas is the largest, most systematic, 

 and complete of any yet published, and that the Quarto and Modern School Geogra- 

 phies contain more matter, and that better arranged, than any similar works ; and 

 they are desired to test the claims here asserted. 



It is impossible to give here more than a fractional part of the recommendations, 

 of the first order, which the publishers have received for the foregoing list of books. 

 Enough has been given to show the claims of the books to examination and use. 



All these works are made in very neat, durable style, and are sold as low as a 

 moderate remuneration will allow. Copies supplied to teachers for their own use at 

 one-fifth off from the retail price, and postage paid. Large institutions are furnished 

 sample copies without charge.
