THE CAMBRIDGE COURSE OF ELEMENTARY PHYSICS. In Three Parts. Part I. Cohesion, Adhesion, Chemical Affinity, Electricity. Part II. Sound, Light, Heat. Part III. Gravity, Astronomy. By W. J. ROLFE and J. A. GILLET, Teachers in the High School, Cambridge, Mass. 12mo. Price $1.75.

The imperative need of a Course of Physics adequate to the present advanced state of science has led to the preparation of this series. A thorough trial in the Cambridge High School, for which it was originally prepared, has fully tested it, and it is now offered to the public with the belief that it will meet a want felt by a large number of teachers, and not satisfactorily supplied by any of the text-books now in use.

The first volume, including Cohesion, Adhesion, Chemical Affinity, and Electricity, is now ready: another volume will follow immediately, and the third within a year. The volumes will be issued from the University Press, Cambridge, in their usual elegant style, and illustrated with numerous engravings from designs made expressly for the works. New French Series.

From Judge Story.

I have read the prospectus of "The Living Age with great pleasure, and entirely approve the plan. It will enable us to possess in a moderate compass a select library of the best productions of the age. I wish it every success. I shall be glad to be a sub

scriber.

From the Historian, Jared Sparks.

range of matter the best articles in every department "and by bringing them together in a new work, to give to the people, at a very moderate sum, the cream of hundred different inaccessible and expensive maga zines and papers. This Mr. Littell has done, and don so well as to have deserved and earned for himsel the thanks and esteem of all grateful readers. Out o so wide a field to select with taste and good judgmen requires a talent in its way quite as rare as that which produces a brilliant article. Of "The Living Age' we have a complete set upon our shelves, and we find it universally popular and useful.

I fully concur with Mr. Justice Story in his estimate of the utility and importance of "The Living Age" as a valuable contribution to our literature, not merely of temporary interest, but of permanent value.

From Chancellor Kent.

I approve very much of the plan of your work, "The Living Age," one of the most instructive and popular periodicals of the day. I wish that my name may be added to the list of subscribers.

From the Historian Prescott.

I have little doubt that Mr. Littell will furnish a healthy and most agreeable banquet to the reader; and it seems to me that a selection from the highest foreign journals will have a very favorable influence on our reading community.

From George Bancroft.

From the specimens that the public has seen, it cannot be doubted that Mr. Littell is able to make, from the mass of contemporary literature, instructive and interesting selections. I wish you success with all my

heart.

From George Ticknor.

I have never seen any similar publication of equal merit. I heartily wish for it the wide success it deserves as a most agreeable and useful selection from the vast mass of the current periodical literature of our times. Be pleased to consider me a regular subscriber to "The Living Age."

From the late President of the United States, John
Quincy Adams.

Of all the periodical journals devoted to literature and science which abound in Europe and in this country, "The Living Age" has appeared to me the most useful.

From an article on the Independent, written by Rev.
Henry Ward Beecher.

[blocks in formation]

The taste, judgment, and wise tact displayed in th selection of articles are above all praise, because they have never been equalled.

From a Gentleman in Knoxville, Tennessee, writing under date of May 14, 1864.

You can scarcely be more gratified to hear from m than I am to renew my acquaintance with you througl the "Living Age." Among all the deprivations of th last three years (nearly), that of your journal has not had a complete set of it from the beginning, I turne I assure you, been of the minor class. As, however, to the bound volumes, and gave them quite a thoroug reading. Indeed, these same volumes proved a res solace and refreshment intellectually to the family, i the midst of the protracted literary dearth that w have suffered. We therefore hail the return of you familiar face, as a journalist, with sincere pleasure, a we welcome the spring after a long and severe winter and wish you long life, and an uninterrupted career o usefulness.

From a Clergyman in Massachusetts of much Literar
Celebrity.

In the formation of my mind and character I owe a much to "The Living Age" as to all other means o It was a happy thought to select from this wide education put together.

BULLION'S PRACTICAL ENGLISH GRAMMAR, (with a simple and complete System of Analysis.)

$1.00

This is a new edition in new and enlarged type of this Author's Analytical and Practical Grammar, which has become a standard text book in good schools throughout this country and Canada. In this new book the order of subjects, method and classification, which gave the former work such an enviable reputation among our most successful teachers, have been, for the most part, retained; and such changes only have been admitted as the present wants of the school-room seem to require. Tables of the different parts of speech and a tabular classification of the analysis of the sentence are given; also the subjects of accent, prefires and suffixes, are presented to afford facilities for a more intimate acquaintance with the integral structure of our language.

BULLIONS' COMMON SCHOOL GRAMMAR, .
