CLEVELAND'S COMPENDIUMS. 



From the New Englander. 

 This is the very best book of the kind we have ever examined. 



From GEORGE B. EMERSON, Esq., Boston. 



The Biographical Sketches are just and discriminating; the selections are admir- 

 able, and I have adopted the work as a text-book for my first class. 



From PROF. MOSES COIT TYLER, of the Michigan University. 

 I have given your book a thorough examination, and am greatly delighted with 

 i ; and shall have great pleasure in directing the attention of my classes to a woris 

 which affords so admirable a bird's-eye view of recent "English Literature." 



From the Saturday Review. 



It acquaints the reader with the characteristic method, tone, and quality of all the 

 c*iief notabilities of the period, and will give the careful student a better idea of the 

 recent history of English Literature than nine educated Englishmen in ten possess. 



From the Methodist Quarterly Revieiu, New York. 



This work is a transcript of the best American mind; a vehicle of the noblest 

 American spirit. No parent who would introduce his child to a knowledge of our 

 country's literature, and at the same time indoctrinate his heart in the purest prin- 

 ciples, need fear to put this manual in the youthful hand. 



From REV. C. PEIRCE, Principal, West Newton, Mass. 



I do not believe the work is to be found from which, within the same limits, so 

 much interesting and valuable information in regard to English writers and English 

 literature of every age, can be obtained; and it deserves to find a place in all our 

 high schools and academies, as well as in every private library. 



From the Independent. 



The work of selection and compilation requiring a perfect familiarity with the 

 whole ran^e of English literature, a judgment clear and impartial, a taste at once 

 delicate and severe,"and a most sensitive regard to purity of thought or feeling has 

 been better accomplished in this than in any kindred volume with which we are 

 acquainted. 



POLITICAL ECONOMY. 



Champlin's Lessons on Political Economy, 



An improvement on previous treatises, being shorter, yet containing everything 

 essential, with a view of recent questions in finance, etc., which is not elsewhere 

 found. 



From J. L. BOTHWELL, Prin. Public School No. Ik* Albany, N. Y. 



I have examined Champlin's Political Economy with much pleasure, and shall be 

 pleased to put it into the ha* ;ls of my pupils. In quantity and quality I think it 

 superior to anything that I iiuve examined. 



From PRES. N. E. COBLEIGH, East Tennessee Wesleyan University. 



An examination of Champlin's Political Economy has satisfied me that it is the 

 book I want. For brevity and compactness, division of the subject, and clear state- 

 ment, and for appropriateness of treatment, I consider it a better text-book than 

 any other in the market. 



From the Evening Mail, New York. 



A new interest has been imparted to the science of political economy since we 

 have been necessitated to raise such vast sums of money for the support, of the gov- 

 ernment. The time, therefore, is favorable for the introduction of \yorks like the 

 above. This little volume of two hundred pages is intended for beginners, for the 

 common school and academy. It is intended as a basis upon which to rear a more 

 elaborate superstructure. There is nothing in the principles of political economy 

 above the comprehension of average scholars, when they are learly set forth. This 

 seems to have been done by President Champlin in an easy and graceful in**uuer.
