** I am well acquainted with the text-books prepared by Miss Bohbins, and think highly of their mérita. What thèse merits are, in my opinion, I will hriefiy state.

They are well written in point of style, showing an acquaintance with tho best models of EugUsh composition, and free from those inaoouracies and that carolessness which deface so many of our school books.

They are well adapted to the compréhension of the several classes ot children for which they are designcd. Nothing is offered to the under- «tanding of a child, until it is prepared for its réception.

They convey a great amount of useful knowledge ; and are alsb enûnently suggestive in their character. They fill the mind of a child with a hotUthy love of knowledge, and that lively désire of progress, which it is a great end of éducation to awakeh and préserve.

The moral tone of thèse books is excellent. They inculcate genwron» sentiments, and appeal to the highest motives. They direct the admi<ration of children to those qualities in humanity which are most admirable. They thus afford great aid to the teacher, in the moral training of his pupils. 6bo. S. Hillabd."

" I hâve seen Miss Robbins' School Books, and some of them I havo examined with care. They seem to me to hâve very great ment. They are written with good taste, and évince a ^areful and skilful use of ex* tenûve reading. They are well adapted to excite the mind to inquirj, and to ûll it with useful and interesting knowledge.

Their moral tone is excellent ; on this score they are whoUy ftree from objection.

The Committee on Baoks used in our Public schools (of which I am chairmau) hâve just resolved, by unanimous vote, to recoomiend Ui« introduction of the Sequel to Popular Lessons; and others of Koi books are under favorable considération.

Baldwln*8 Table Book. A Table Book and Primarj Arithmetio, eompiled and arranged for the Introdivïtorj Department of the New York Public and Ward Schools, and particnlarlj adapted to the System of Mutoal Instruction. By Ausrar BAU>wiir. New édition, revised. 18ma 10 ets.

Prrfaee, — Having for a long time sostained considérable inconvenienoe fW>m the want of a book of Arithmetical Tables adapted to the capacities of veiy young papils, and arranged in such a manner as to answer the purposes of a laiye echool, I hâve been indnced to compile one, with a spécial view to the necessitîes of the System of monitorial instmction.

Believing it important that children should bt made to understand the application of what they are required to commit to memory, I hâve placed a few simple questions at the end of each lesson, illustrating ita use ; and «s a knowledge of the rules of Arithmetio can be well under- Btood by children, only by performing the opérations, I hâve endeavored^ in the introduction, to make the mies as concise as possible, depending principally on the examples for fiidng them in the minds of the pnpils. It is confidently hoped that this littie work will lighten the labor of the child in committing to memory that which is so important as a foundation for Arithmetio, and also that, by the division and numbering of the lessons, it may relieve the teacher of much troubla in assigning the proper portions for each scholar or class.

^at it may, however small the offering, aid the cause of juvénile éducation, is the eamest wish of TH£ COMBILEB.
