Part 7
A good system of Ancient Geography, in the English language, drawn from authentic sources, with cuts illustrative of Ancient customs, places, temples, and other buildings and remarkable events, accompanied with a complete set of Maps of the World as known to the ancients; Asia Minor, Greece, Italy, the Roman Empire; the world as known to the Israelites, a Map of Canaan, with part of Egypt, and the route of the Israelites through the Desert; plans of Ancient Rome, Jerusalem, &c., was very much wanted by teachers of Sabbath Schools, and the members of Bible Classes; and such a one, so far as we are able to judge, we are happy to say, is now presented to the public in a very attractive form. The cuts in the Geography are exceedingly well done, and the Maps in the Atlas are equally well engraved, and equally well printed.--_New York Christian Advocate._
Mitchell's Biblical and Sabbath School Geography.
This work, with appropriate Maps and embellishments, is now in progress, and will be published early in the ensuing season. Though hitherto greatly needed, no book of the kind proposed, suitable for the instruction of younger pupils in families and sabbath schools, has yet appeared. The attention of the publishers has been recently called to the subject, by the suggestions of gentlemen deeply interested in price and dimensions, illustrating the geography of the Holy Land, together with that of the other regions mentioned in Scripture, specially adapted to the end proposed, should be published.
For the basis of the proposed work, Part Second of Mitchell's Ancient Geography, to which it is similar in scope and design, will be adopted. As in that treatise, besides the requisite geographical notices proper to the subject, such historical incidents connected therewith will be interwoven with the narrative, as will render the local descriptions more interesting, and an examination of the various texts referred to will doubtless enable pupils to acquire a more distinct understanding of the geography and history of the sacred volume.

GREENE'S ANALYSIS.
A TREATISE ON THE STRUCTURE OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE; or the Analysis and Classification of Sentences and their Component Parts; with Illustrations and Exercises, adapted to the Use of Schools. _By Samuel S. Greene, A.M._, Principal of the Phillips' Grammar School, Boston. Philadelphia, 1848. Price, 45 cts. This work has already reached the sixth edition in the space of four months.
_From the Christian Review._
We like the book much--it is just what is wanted in our Grammar Schools; and if accompanied by an abridgement, for the younger pupils, which the author proposes in his preface to prepare, will leave but little to be desired for the purposes of ordinary instruction in Grammar, in our schools. The plan is simple, and is developed with great consistency and logical ability.
_Copy of a Letter from Mr. Elbridge Smith, Principal of the Cambridge High School._
Dear Sir--I have examined with great pleasure the Grammar which you did me the honour to send me. I have no hesitation in saying that I consider it _the best English Grammar in existence_. This, I am aware, some will regard as extravagant praise. I am not, however, alone in my opinion. Indeed, I know of no one, who has given attention to the subject, who is not of the same opinion.
Greene's First Lessons in English Grammar,
Based upon the Construction and Analysis of Sentences: designed as an Introduction to the Analysis.
A few testimonials are subjoined:--
_City of Boston--In School Committee._
_Ordered_, That Greene's First Lessons in Grammar take the place of Allen H. Weld's Abridgment, subject to the conditions prescribed by the regulations.
Attest: S. F. M'CLEARY, _Secretary_.
_From M. F. Cowderey, late Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Ohio State Teachers' Association, and President of the Northwestern Educational Society._
I, and some of my friends, Teachers in this State, have given the work our examination, and we think so highly of it that we shall use it ourselves, and urge its general introduction into the Schools of Ohio.
These books are introduced in the Public Schools of Boston, Cincinnati, St. Louis, Vicksburg, and into many towns in New York, Ohio, and other States.
