NEW AND IMPORTANT SCHOOL BOOKS. 



TO TEACHERS, PRINCIPALS AND CONTROLLERS 



OF SCHOOLS, ACADEMIES AND COLLEG-ES 



We take the liberty of calling your attention to a Series 

 of Books on the subject of Natural History, which, in the 

 opinion of many of the most eminent men in our country, 

 is second to no branch of knowledge now taught in schools. 

 We ask your attention to these books, because we believe 

 them to be superior to any works of the kind ever offered 

 to the American public. They are small in size, extremely 

 cheap, as accurate in scientific arrangement as the most 

 voluminous works on similar subjects, and in every respect, 

 such as parents and teachers would wish to place in the 

 hands of their children. In confirmation of this opinion of 

 the worth of these works, we respectfully invite your 

 attention to the following testimonials. 



Very respectfully, your obedient servants, 



GRIGG & ELLIOT, 

 JVb. 9 North Fourth Street, Philad'a 



These books have been introduced into the Public Schools of Pennsylvania 

 and Ohio, and no doubt will, ere long, be introduced into all the public schools 

 of our other States. 



"We regard the introduction of these works into our public schools, among the 

 highest compliments they have received ; for we feel sure that the gentlemen 

 who constitute the committee for selecting books, possess too much discernment 

 and general knowledge, to pass favourably upon works of inferior pretensions. 

 The following gentlemen composed the Committee for selecting books for the 

 use of Public Schools." GEORGE M. WHARTON, Esq. 



THOMAS H. FORSYTH, Esq. 

 GEORGE EMLEN, Jr., Esq. 



* FRANCIS LYONS, Esq. 



JOHN C. SMITH, Esq. 

 Philadelphia. 



In addition to the following flattering notices of the American Press, the pub- 

 lishers have received upwards of one hundred recommendations from the most 

 prominent professors and distinguished teachers of our country, to the superior 

 claims of these works, and urging their introduction as Class Books into all the 

 Schools, Academies, &c., throughout the United States.
