Avertfs Natural Philosophy.

The book is an earnest and eminently successful attempt to present the facts 

 of the Science in a logical and comprehensible manner. The chapter especially 

 devoted to Energy has been pronounced, by competent and discriminating 

 judges, the most satisfactory that has yet been written. 



The chapter on Electricity has met with the warmest expressions of ap- 

 proval from prominent teachers, school superintendents, and professors. The 

 other chapters are equally good. 



The type is large and clear, the engravings are p 1 at four hundred in num- 

 ber, and all artistically executed. The printers a- " -i e engravers have tried to 

 make this book as clear cut as the statements . 'nitions of the author. 



A Manual of English Literature. By HENRY MORLEY, 

 Professor of English Literature in Univerbi' y College, London. 

 Thoroughly revised, with an entire rearrangement of matter, 

 and with numerous retrenchments and additions, by MOSES 

 COIT TYLER, Professor of English Literature in the University 

 of Michigan. 



For advanced instruction in English Literature, no book has hitherto 

 existed which is now satisfactory either to teachers or students. While each 

 book has its own merits, it has also defects so serious as to stand in the way 

 of its complete success. 



I) ' u WUmrAL or ENGLISH LITERATURE " now published, the joint pro- 

 du t> o distinguished authors and practical teachers, one representing 



a li 'versity in England, and the other representing a leading univer- 



si' .ncrica, we believe that the book so long needed is at last to be had ; 



a book that must at once, by its own merits, take the precedence of all others 

 in this department, in the principal seminaries, colleges, and universities of 

 the country. 



Professor Henry Morley, of the University of London, is one of the most 

 distinguished living authorities in all matters pertaining to English literary 

 history and criticism. He is fifty-seven years of age ; has written many suc- 

 cessful books in general literature. 



Professor Moses Coit Tyler, though a much younger man than Professor 

 Morley, has been also for many years a practical teacher of English Literature 

 to advanced students in a great university ; has had a varied and successful 

 career in general authorship; and especially by his elaborate "History of 

 American Literature,'? has come to sustain a relation to literary history in this 

 country similar to that held by Professor Morley in England. The combined 

 labors of two such men ought to give us the long-needed Text-Book in Eng- 

 lish Literature.
