From W. A. Boles, Supt. Shelbyville Graded School, Ind. 

 They are as entertaining as a story book, and much more improving to the mind. 



From S. A. Snow, Principal cf High School, Uxbridge, Mass, 



Steele's 14 Weeks Courses in the Sciences are a perfect success. 



From John W. Doughty, Neivburg Free Academy, ISf. Y. 



I was prepared to find Prof. Steele's Course both attractive and instructive. My 

 Ibighest expectations have been fully realized. 



From J. S. Blackwexl, Prest. Ghent College, Ky. 



Prof. Steele's unexampled success in providing for the wants of academic classes, 

 has led me to look forward with higli anticipationa to his forthcoming issue. 



From J. F. Cook, T^^est. La Grange College, Mo. 



I am pleased with the neatness of these books and the delightful diction. I have 

 been teaching for years, and have never seen a lovelier httle volume than the As- 

 tronomy. 



From M. W. Smith, Prin. of High School, Morrison, 111. 



They seem to me to be admirably adapted to Ihe v.-ants cf a public school, con- 

 taining, as they do, a sufficiently comprehensive arrangemeut of elementary prin- 

 ciples to excite a healthy thirst for a more thorough knowledge of those sciences. 



From J. D. Baktlet, Prin. of High School, Concord, N. H. 



They are just such books as I have looked for, viz.. those of interesting style, 

 not cumbersome and filled up with thlDgs to be omitted by the pupil, and yet suf- 

 ficiently full of facts for the purpose of most scholars in these sciences in our hi^h 

 schools ; there is nothing but what a pupil of average ability can thorougmy 

 master. 



From Alonzo Norton Lewis, Principal of Parker Academy, Conn. 



I consider Steele's Fourteen Weeks Courses in Philosophy, Chemistiy, &c., the 

 l>est school-books that have been issued in this country. 



As an introduction to the various branches of which they treat, and especially 

 for that numerous claes of pupils who have not the time for a more extended 

 course, I consider them invaluable. 



From Edward Brooks, I^in. State Normal School, URUersville, Pa. 



At the meeting of Normal School Principals. I presented the following resolu- 

 tion, which was unanimously adopted: '■'■ Reiolved, That Steele's 14 Weeks 

 Courses in Natural Philosophy and Astronomy, or an amount equivalent to what 

 is contained in them, be adopted for use in the State Normal Schools of Pennsyl- 

 vania." The works themselves will be adopted by at least thr«e of the echoola, 

 and, I presume, by them all.
