PINNOCK'S CATECHISMS 



Of the ARTS and SCIENCES. 



The Proprietors of these Publications respectfully sub- I 

 mit the following Opinion of the Lord Chancellor of $ 

 England, (the especial Guardian of British Youth,) { 

 as delivered by him in the Court of Chancery, July J 

 27, 1819. 



Mr. WETHERELL having applied to the LORD CHAX- $ 

 CELLO*, to grant an INJUNCTION to restrain certain J 

 Booksellers from printing, publishing, and selling, Pi- $ 

 rated Editions of PINK OCR'S CATECHISMS, the ori- j 

 ginals of which he denominated "useful Conipcndiums 

 of Instruction for the Juvenile Classes of Society ;" his * 

 LORDSHIP, on comparing the Spurious Copies with the ; 

 Genuine Works, granted the Injunction; and, after * 

 having attentively examined the latter, was pleased to g 

 make the following important observation on them : 

 \ w It appears to me tfiat ADULTS might be greatly benefited fc 

 | by the instruction these Books contain, AS WELL AS THE \ 

 - YOUNGER BRANCHES CF SOCIETY." 



[For a List of the Catechisms^ see the Cover.] 

 The Publishers respectfully beg leave to observe, that, \ 

 independent of the high encomium above mentioned, J 

 " PINNOCK'S CATECHISMS " have met with the general fc 

 approbation of a most numerous and respectable Class of t 

 intelligent Teachers. They need only to be seen to ensure J 

 their universal adoption; the information they contain in z 

 so small a compass being unparalleled, and the style in 

 which they are written, combining ease, concisenew, 5 

 and perspicuity. $ 



" Beiug led to look into these works, we have been pleasingly sr.r- 



prised at the variety and accuracy of the information they contain, 



within so small a compass, and in so excellent a form ; ana we must J 



say, that more convenient, accurate, well-arranged, and proper publi- * 

 cations were never submitted to general observation." Liter. Gaz. 



** It is necessary to remark, that many spurious Edi- 



tions, externally resembling the above, are circulated t 



hroughout the kingdom. The Public should therefore be ? 



cautious to purchase none but such as have the names of 



the Publishers (G. $ W. B. Whitlakcr) in the Title-pages. \
