By JOHN J. ANDERSON, A. M., Late Principal of Grammar School 

 No. 31, New York City; Author of a Grammar School and other 

 Histories of the United States, and of a Manual of General History.

 etc. "With an appendix containing the Constitution of the United 

 States, with questions and explanations, and the Declaration of Inde- 

 pendence. 12mo. 400 pages. 



The distinctive features of this work are : 1st. A system of maps, with map questions 

 and references, combining the geography with the chronology, thus teaching 'byAhe eye 

 as well as the ear, and consequently making the impression upbii the memory more4ast- % ' 

 ing. 2d. A second set of questions differing entirely from the first. The'se," by associat- 

 ing facts belonging to the same class or train of events, require answerp o a topical 

 character, and thus compel the student to review his lessons witbthoughtfiflness. 



From the Hon. H. H. VAN DYCK, former Superintendent of Public. Instruot&m for' the 



State of New York. r 



"The books comprising Anderson's Series of School Histories have-^een in my pos- 

 session during the last six months. I have examined them with considerable care, and 

 find them works of decided merit. There is a directness, clearness, and conciseness in 

 the statements, and an admirable method connected with the chronological and geogra- 

 phical features of the narrative, that commend them to my judgment. To the instructor 

 who aims at thoroughness in the knowledge imparted to his pupils of our country's 

 history, these books arc certainly invaluable. I recommend them without reservation.'" 



From-C. B. PARSONS, D. D., LL.D., Chairman of Coinmittee of Examination and Control 



of Public Schools, Louisville, Ky. 



"I have carefully examined the 'Pictorial History of the United States,' by John J. 

 Anderson, and unhesitatingly pronounce it the best of its kind that has fallen under my 

 observation. Its remarkable comprehensibility, so concisely given, " multum inparvo, 

 with its excellent arrangement of adaptation to the purposes of instruction, canuot fail 

 to recommend it to general use. I most cordially approve of its introduction into our 

 schools." 



From Rev. J. M. ANDERSON, Principal of Ohio Female College, College Hill, Ohio. 



"The book stands well the most careful scrutiny. I am particularly pleased with the 

 fairness of its statements as to the results of battles, etc. The history of our country is 

 rich enough in great deeds to warrant the historian in telling the whole truth, and 

 nothing but the truth, as to her reverses and misfortunes. Without truth, history is a 

 delusion and a snare. In point of method, clearness, and succinctness of narration, 

 also, I regard this book as incomparably the best manual of the kind that has appeared. 

 None but a practical and experienced teacher could have produced such a model class- 

 book. We shall lose no time in introducing it into this Institute." 



From Miss JANE A. BARTHOLOMEW, the luell-knoivn teacher of History in the Connecticut 



State Normal School. 



" In respect to symmetry of plan, proportionate arrangement of matter, correctness, 

 clearness, and conciseness of statement, and in variety or explanatory information, it is 

 superior to any other text-book in United States history used here. The seals of the 

 States and miniature maps, are valuable additions to the book ; while the charts and 

 questions for review, condensing gradually, as they do, its whole contents, meet a want 

 which many teachers have neither the means nor ability to supply."
