41 1 have carefully-examined Anderson's Histories, adopted by the Board of Education, 

 and used in the-Public Schools of this city, and cheerfully commend them to the favorable 

 regard of teachers and School officers, as well adapted to the purposes of instruction in 

 this branch of study, and as excellent and comprehensive compendium? of the leading 

 events of history." S. S. RANDALL, Svp't of Schools. 



"Anderson's Histories have been in use in the Grammar Schools of this city from the 

 date of their publication, and, as far as I know, have given the highest degree of satisfac- 

 tion. They are written in a clear, concise style, are unusually accurate, and abound in 

 exercises which only a practical teacher could have constructed, and which make them 

 invaluable Class Manuals. They can scarcely fail to prove acceptable wherever practi- 

 cally tried." HENRY KIDDLE, Ass't Sup't of Scliools. 



From Fifty -seven Principals of Grammar Schools in the City of Neio York. 

 "We are using Anderson's Histories in our school? with complete success. For class- 

 room instruction they are, we believe, superior to any other works on the subject with 

 which we are acquainted."

"This is to certify that I am well acquainted with Anderson's Historic!-, they having, 

 been in the Public Schools of this city during the last three years. After having seen a 

 variety of works on the subject tried here, I am confident that ANDERSON'S are decidedly 

 the best for class-room instruction. They give the teacher just the aid he needs to 

 produce satisfactory results, and I therefore give them my unqualified recommendation." 



J. W. BULKLEY, Sup't of Schools. 



" Mr. Anderson has, I think, found the golden mean in nearly every feature that should 

 characterize a judicious school history." 



JAMES CRUIKSHANK, AssH Sup't of Schools. 



From the Principals of the Grammar Schools in the City of Brooklyn. 



"It gives us pleasure, after using Anderson's Histories in our schools during the last 



two years, to say that we like them. The plan of instruction, combining the geography 



with the chronology of the narrative, is one which gives the books a decided superiority 



over the works of other authors on the subject. Tfiey have our hearty commendation."
