VALUABLE SCHOOL BOOKS,

THOMAS, COWPERTHWAIT & CO.,
PHILADELPHIA,
AND FOR SALE BY BOOKSELLERS GENERALLY THROUGH OUT THE UNITED STATES.
MITCHELL'S AMERICAN SYSTEM OF STANDARD SCHOOL GEOGRAPHY,
IN A SERIES; ADAPTED TO THE PROGRESSIVELY DEVELOPING CAPACITIES OF YOUTH.
Mitchell's School Series has been wholly or partly introduced into the Public and Private Schools of the principal Cities and Towns of the United States.
Mitchell's Primary Geography.
An easy Introduction to the Study of Geography; designed for the Instruction of Children in Schools and Families; Illustrated by 120 Engravings and 14 coloured Maps. By _S. Augustus Mitchell_. Price, 38 cents.
This work has been introduced into the Public Schools of Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, New Orleans, St. Louis, Louisville, Cincinnati, Pittsburg, and many other cities and towns in the United States, and is in general use in the Private Schools throughout the whole country.
Mitchell's Intermediate or Secondary Geography.
In this work, the maps and the entire reading matter are printed together, and form one convenient quarto volume.
The whole is so arranged, that the maps, the description of each country, and the questions dependent on them, are placed generally on the same page, or on pages directly opposite, enabling pupils to refer readily from one to the other, rendering the use of two separate books unnecessary, and affording the required amount of instruction in a more portable and convenient form.
This publication corresponds, in style of embellishment, colouring, arrangement of lessons, and general scope of composition, to the other Geographical Works of Mr. Mitchell, so as to form a connecting link in the Series in progress, of which the Primary Geography, the School Geography and Atlas, and the Ancient Geography and Atlas, already published, form a part. Price, 75 cents.
Mitchell's School Geography.
A System of Modern Geography; comprising a Description of the present State of the World, and its five great Divisions. Embellished with numerous Engravings, and illustrated by an Atlas of 28 Maps, drawn and engraved for the work. Second revised edition. By _S. Augustus Mitchell_. Price, $1 12-1/2.
_From the Teachers of Public Schools in the City of New York._
We have examined "Mitchell's School Geography," and the Atlas that accompanies it, with considerable care, and must give it the preference to any work of the kind with which we are acquainted. Its merits are numerous,--the definitions are remarkably plain and concise,--the exercises are copious and important, and the descriptive department is luminous and correct. The divisions of the American Continent are represented and described as they really exist at the present time, and the gross mis-statements generally found in school Geographies are corrected. The typographical execution is uncommonly neat and distinct. Indeed the Atlas is a model of the kind, and actually teems with information. The Geography is embellished with some hundreds of neat and well-executed engravings, which illustrate and greatly enhance the value of the work.
