GRIFFIN'S SERIES OF 



SOITIIEHX SCHOOL UOOKS. 



The r R would call the attention of the Southern public to his 



Series <■ i.rn SrtiooL Books. 



Our i« irc nnvv very generally impressed with the necessity ot hav- 



ing a sei\ ~-;hi>..il Books of our own, that shall harmonize with our poliii- 



caTaiid domcj^tic institutions, and give a proper tone to the moral and religious 

 character of our vouth. At present there is scarcely a school reading book 

 published at the N'orth that does not contain sentiments in a greater or less 

 deijrei' inimical to our interests; and we cannot expect it to be otherwise, so 

 long as we remain dependent on the Northern presses for every book made 

 use of in our School^;, Academies and Colleges. It is presumed that the se- 

 ries now ollbrcd will render further dependence unnecessary. 



The recommendations from Ti-acheis, and other gentlemen of high stand- 

 ing who have examined the series, are sufficient to stamp their character as 

 deser\*ing of peculiar merit. 



NOTICES or THE SERIES. 



M'uon, Ga., March 10, 1840 



Sir; — Having examined with attention two of the works included in your 

 "Series of Southern Class Books," I feel bound in duty to thank you for the 

 pleasure which I received in the perusnl of them. 



As the "SoLTHERX First Class Book" has secured, already, a large mea- 

 sure of public favor, it niigln be superfluous to add my commendation of its 

 , . ' L. But, as the '• Southent Second Class Book" has appeared more 

 . It i^ rntitled to the fost<^ring care of all who feel an in'trest in the 

 ca;i.-H. ui ^ n FOducation. Let Parents read it for themselves, and ihev 



will not 1. to buy, and place it in the hands of their children — in the full 



{ ;i that it will jAease, and do (hern good. 



1 . . .inembrance of surh a book will be gratifying through every season 

 of hte — and its salutary intluence must be felt, in connexion with the charac- 

 ter, and happiness of "children's children." 



S. G. BRAGG, 

 Mr. Benjimin F. Grijin. Rector of Christ Church, Macon.

I; !, for the successful execution ol a tas^^k which has long 



been regarded as a desideratum in the schools of il,e South.
