TEXT-BOOKS. It were a useless task to at- 

 tempt to chronicle the endless series of new 

 school-books, of which so many are but the 

 working over of the common stock of mate- 

 rials, with some questionable novelties to make 

 a factitious distinction from the old. But it is 

 undeniable that, with the necessity which the 

 progress of science imposes, of recasting ele- 

 mentary books, together with the rising stand- 

 ard of educational efficiency, there is a percep- 

 tible improvement in the manuals for the class- 

 room. The effect upon the culture of taste 

 and refinement of mind, by the more elegant 

 typography and make-up of school-books, must 

 be considerable. It is a sign of advance, when 

 selections of Shakespeare's plays, such as Mr. 

 Hudson's " School and Family Shakespeare," 

 with the needful notes for the aid of the youthful 

 student, or Mr. W. J. Rolfe's selection of plays, 

 including "The Tempest," "Julius Cfesar," 

 " Henry VIII.," and " The Merchant of Ven- 

 ice," gotten up in elegant style, with a full appa- 

 ratus of grammatical and exegetical illustration, 



are found among the appliances of elementary 

 education. A work of the same class is " The 

 English of Bunyan " by Prof. J. B. Grier, of La- 

 fayette College, surely a model of homely prose 

 worth study. The manuals in "English Litera- 

 ture," by Prof. A. S. Hart and Mr. F. H. Under- 

 wood, are a marked advance on works of their 

 class heretofore in use. Another noticeable work 

 in the same department is "English Litera- 

 ture considered as the Interpreter of English 

 History, designed as a Manual of Instruction," 

 by Henry Coppee, LL. D. ; and, perhaps, 

 equally so is " A Progressive Grammar of the 

 English Tongue, based on the Results of Mod- 

 ern Philology," by Prof. "William Swinton, 

 A. M., and several among the following :
