TEXT-BOOKS. The preparation of school 

 text-books is a branch of production in which, 

 more than in almost any other, men " con- 

 tinue," as Sterne says (after Burton) " to make 

 new books, as apothecaries make new mixtures 

 by pouring only out of one vessel into an- 

 other." A complete list of the new school- 

 books of any year, including new and modified 

 editions, would represent a very large compo- 

 nent of the mass of publications, especially so 

 if measured by its commercial value. We at- 

 tempt nothing of the kind. Some examples 

 of the more valuable productions are given :
