HAVING long felt the necessity existing for a SERIES OF EDUCATIONAL WORJvS, prepared and expressly adapted for our COLONIAL SCHOOLS, the Publisher was induced to attempt the supply of this want. His efforts thus far have been crowned with success; Lio books having been most generally welcomed in the Schools, and most favorably noticed by the Press, of British North America. LOVELL'S GENERAL GEOGRAPHY has met with entire success, having been already introduced into almost every School throughout British North America. The General Geography, however, being considered too far advanced for young beginners, a new and elementary work has been prepared, entitled, EASY LESSONS IN GENERAL GEOGRAPHY. This book is intended as introductory to the General Geography ; and a reference to the accompanying " Opinions" will show how fully it meets the object aimed at. He takes great pleasure in calling attention to the following list of the SCHOOL BOOKS already issued by him ; and to which he will Add, from time to time, such new works as may be of use to the youth of the Provinces.

Merely to say that Mr. Hodgins, tlio able and accom- plished author ot the volume, has executed his work well, is, we think, but paying him a poor compliment. lie lias undertaken and 'discharged a duty which wo think few could have achieved with equal success.— British American Journal, Montreal. This work supplies a want long felt in our schools. As a manual of (jcography it seems to leave nothing furtlier to be desired.— A'c/w, Montreal. Wo think the rising generation in these provinces pliould have a geugrapliical text-book for themselves, giving a true history and correct description coinputi- bio with their iioliticnl and social iinpurtaiice, and such a text-book wc have in that now before us.— Canada Temperance Advocate, Montreal. We have no hesitation in pronouncing it, in every respect, the hest Geography for Schools that we have yet seen. It must come into universal use in Canada, and iliercl'ore the sooner it is introduced into schools the better.— CAr<«<«a» Ouardian, Toronto. No work ot the kind could bo more complolo. — Toronto Daily Leader. We are very much pleased with this work, which we have examined carefully. The maps are accurate and well engraved, the typography is excellent, and the whole execution of the work highly creditable to Canadian enterprise. — Canadian United Presbyterian Mayaxine, Toronto. It has no rival in the detailed and accurate knowledge it iilfuvds of the extent and resources of the liritish American provinces.— C'aiKM/taii Independent, Toronto. Wo consider this Geography far superior, especially tor Canadian schools, in many respects, to any siniilur work heietoloro available to the public in this couhtry, and we are surprised to sec it sold tor only ouo dollar. —Canadian Ayricutturist, Toronto. We have cal'elUlly examined the contents, and can safely lecommond it to the tavoruble cnnsidcratiun ol the public as a very valuable addition to Canadian school books.— TwoH/o Evening Journal. The introductory cliaptcr, on Mathematical, Vbysi- cal, and roliticul Geogrnphy, is a muiiuul ot concise simplicity, which will at the outset enlist the approba- tion of the thinking tcticher. — Home Journal, Toronto. 't is correct and most explicit with regard to every portion ot the Globe.— //a»ni/(o»t Daily Spectator.

Tho skefclios in tlio littlo worlc before us art! admirable, combining mucli ingenuity and taste with tlio use of easy and familiar langungo in tlie treatment of such subjects as the Earth and its appear- ance. Time, the Mariner's Compass, &c. The trips are designed to connect in tho mind of the pupil tho objects and associations of travel with a geographical knowledge of tho more important physical features of tho principal countries in the world. Mr. Lovell is a publisher of note in Montreal, and his energy and per- severance ia worthy of tho warmest commendation, and his efforts to place good and reliable school books before tho public are deserving of encouragement by the people of all tho Provinces. These " Easy Les- sons," are well adapted to accomplish tho object aimed at, namely, to present in a pleasing and simple form the general outlines of the study of geography , so as to instruct and interest without confusing the youthful on Easy Lessons in General Qeograpliy, mind. Simplicity and comprehensiveness are the dis- tinguishing characteristics of the book, and we have no doubt that it will prove highly useful in our com- mon schools throughout the city and countrv. This work was evidently prepared with much care to adapt it to the capacities of the junior classes in schools, and to awaken in the minds of small children a desire to become ac(|uainted with the subject. For this purpose- the subject is divided offinto conversations or reading lessons, each of which is followed by an explanation, testing the scholar upon the matter he has Just read, a method of proceeding which certainly seems calcu- lated to forward the pupil very materially with his studios, and to inculcate tho good habit or attentive- ness to tho reading lesson. In it religion is discreetly respected, and loyalty taught as one of its lessons. There is one excellent feature about this little geogra- phy, it is emphatically a British American book, and commences at home as it should do, and not on the old principle of learning the youth everything about foreign nations, while they are kept in ignorance W a o c!

If all Lovell's School Books are as well adapted for the object designed, they will greatly contribute to the interests of education. — J^'ree J'ress, Bridgetown, N.S. Last year we had the pleasing task of introducing and highly commending to public notice Lovell's General Geography, a work admirably adu()tud to su- persede the use of unsuitable and uncongenial Ameri- can publications. Wo are pleased to find that that excellent composition has met with entire success, and is rapidly making its way into the Schools throughout British North America; and not only so, but that the enterprising publisher, not confining himself to Geo- graphy alone, lias already publishecT nuriorous other School Books on various subjl'cts, compi'.ed on similar principles and with the same object, that of supplying British students with essentially Itritish text-books ; a patriotic project in which we cordially wish him every success. " Lovell's General Geography " lietng con- sidered too far advanced for young oeginners, a new and elementary work has been |)repared, bearing the title prefixed to this notice, of smaller compass and cheaper in price than tlie larger work. We have care- fully examined the Easy Lessons in General Geogra- phy, and have no hesitation in warmly recommending It to general patronage, as the best elementary book of the kind we have ever inspected, during a long course of critical experience. It is terse and simple in style, easy of comprehension, sufficiently explanatory for young learners, and abundantly illustrated with well-executed maps and other wood.-engravings ; and is altogether just the thing for beginners. Upon both patriotic and educational principles we earnestly hope that these Geographies, as well as the numerous other School Books on various subjects issued by Mr. Lovell, will rapidly and effectually supersodejill others of their kind in all c X.B. our Colonial Schools.— Courier, St. John, The style is easy, yet comprehensive, and the student is aided in liis studies by means of maps and illustra- tions.

Very well executed maps, and various illustrations are scattered through its pages, and soarra igod as to ereatly assist the pupil in getting a correcl, idea of the text. It is peculiarly adapted for the schools of this Province.— iUbr»»no -V^ji---, St. John, .V. B. It wi!l prove n firm and broad fonndation for all de- sirable goograjiliical instruction. It has many merits, but its most distinguishing feature, to our apprehen- sion, is its beautifully attroctive stylo. To the youth- ful mind it possesses all the interest of a delightful story book ; and i* the teacher could always acquire and practice the art of divesting their instru../iioii8 of the character of task work, and, in the spirit of this little book, combine amusement with the graver busi- ness of teaching, the ac({uisition of extensive geogra- phical information would soon be more attractive tc the rising gene-ation. Wo cordially and earnestly recommend its univer.-sal adoption in schools and families, and that in ineforonce to any other juvenile geography wo have ever seen.— Colonial .Farmer, Frederic ton, N.B.

Of Mr. Hodgins' Gnography wo liave already had occasion to spoak with approval in this Journal, on Its flrst appearance two years ago. in tho present edition (1862), the population returns havo been brought down to 1800; and tho work now forms a very complete and comprehunsivo text-book of geographical science, con- taining au amount and variety of information, bearing on the goography of tho various countries of tlio globe, such as we must candidly avow wo havo not before soon oomproBsod within the same compass in any other work. Mr. Sangstor's Arithmetics appear to us to be modolsof arrangement and good teacldng. Tho rules are in all cases illustrated by operations nilly worked out, and explained stop by step in such a wav that the pupil can have no difnculty in ma.<>toring ana compre- nendlng the rationale of every process employed. The " Mote-Book on Inorganic Chemistry" is intended as an aide-memoire " for students and teachers, and com- prises the heads of a course of I.«cture8 on Chemistry In a condensed form, so as to obviate tho necessity of writing notes on the subject. Tho " Natural Philoso- phy" embraces the elements of Statics, Hydrostatics, rneumatics, Dynamics. Hydrodynamics, the theory oi Undulations, and the mecnanical theory of Music. A very valuable feature is the introduction of a great variety of problems under each section, solved, for the most part, arithmetically, by which means tlie general principles of mechanical science aro not only more clearly comprehended by tho student, but more per- manently llxed in his mind. Mr. Vasey's " English Grammar" is entitled to the praise of clearness and simplicity— a merit possessed in a still higher degree by the " Classical English Spoiling Hook," In which tho anomnlios and difliculties of Eng- lish orthography are, by a judicious classilication of tho elementary sounds, reduced to a minimum. — Ed. Times. The " British American Reader" of Mr. Borthwick, is a patriotic attempt to construct a Keading Book of exclusively homo manufacture. The extracts are entirely cither from tho works of native authors, or authors who havo written on America. Mr. McGrath, tho Agont of.Iohn Lovoll, of .Montreal, is here at present, and exhibits a series of no less than thirty school books, all carefully composed and jieatly printed, from the celebrated Montreal estab- *lishment, of which Mr. Lovpll is the esteemed proprie- tor. In noticing this collection ot educational books, we cannot conceal the satisfaction which we led in the fact that every ono of them, progressive as they are from the flrst rudiments of the Iniignage to the higher ranges of history, goography, chemistry, arithmetic, philosophy, and mathematical science, is thoroughly respectable iaits execution, and equally " British"' in Its tendencies ; and wn are also pleased to And that tho firlcos ot tho respective works am mo moderately low hat thev aro within the reach of every school In New llriinswick.

This is another of Lovoll's Series of School Books, several of which have been submitted to the judpo meat of the public within the past few. weeks, and all of them so far have received the hearty commendation of those teachers and others who have had them un- der consideration. This little book, the author tells us, is intended only as an introduction to the gram- mars in general use, and to this purpose we should consider it well adapted. As an introductory book it will be found of very groat advantage, and we have no doubt that it will soon superfcdeall the elementary grammars now in use amongst us. — Family IJeralU, Montreal. It is designed for the use of the youngest children, and appears to bo very ingeniously and successfully compiled . — Peterborough lieview. This little class-book seems to bo just the thing re- quired for the instruction of children, in the principles ol English grammar. Wo think Mr. Vasey has suc- ceeded in producing a work, which, if introduced as a class-book in our schools, will vastly facilitate tho study of grammar. Wo recommend tho book to the favorable notice of teachers and others interested.— liranlford Expositor. It is admirably ad.. >ed to tho capacity of children. Tho work bclbrc us is an easy and very interesting elementary introduction to Euglish Giammar. — Cayu- ga Sentinel. The little book we arc now noticing is tho simplest of any we have yet sran. If children of tender years can spare any time from ordinary studies to attend to tlio grammar of tlieir language, this text-book is just tlie one for their purpose. — Brockvitle Jtecortler. It is of great importance that an elementary book on English Grammar, at once easy and interesling, should be placed in the hands of our younger pupils, and wo are of opinion that this grammar exactly supplies what is wanted. We earnestly recommend it to the atten- tion of parents and school teachers.— //eraW anrf Ad- vertiser, Kingston. We think it admirably adapted to its purpviso— the initiation of children of tender age to the mysteries of the construction of their own language. — Cj6ouri7,S7ar.

The selection of pieces in this book is, wo think, made with judgment, and the whole will convov, in a verv plensiuL' manner, much information about America generally. — Montreal If'itness. Mr. Rortluvick has so ably accomplished the task he undertook, that very many readers, who have long passed the schoB-boy era of life, will find his work a most usef'id book. — llfontreal Transcript, We cordially recommend it to teachers, whether of public or private »c\\mAA.— Montreal Pilot. The work is carefidl.v edited, and will no doubt soon take its position as a standard Canadian Class Itook. — Family Herald, Montreal. This is the very book for our Canadian youth. Wo wish Jlr.

Wo have no hesitation in recommending its general use. and doubt not it will secure ready acceptance in all Itritish America —JSytown Gazette. From its pages wo receive much valuable informa- tion, historical and statistical, in reference foourown country; and its general selections are all that could be desired in a Reading Itook tor our public schools. — Peterltorough Iteciew. We trust to see this book take the place of many of the foreign works now in use throughout the country. — Eastern Townships {Oranby) Gazette. We have the utmost reason to be proud of its se- lections : it is. indeed, almost a miracle of books lor the young. — Jtichmoml Counly Advocate.

PUBLISIIED IN HOVEMBEB OP EACH YEAH— PRICE 81.00. In announcinf^ the forthcoming publication of the Second Volume of the British North American Almanac, the Publisher is desirous of expressing his satisfaction at the general approval with which the first volume was received. The Press of the various Provinces welcomed it in the kindest terms as the best Almanac and statistical work ever published in British North America. One journalist assures us that the publication of this book will do far more to bring about a union ^.f the Provinces than a quarter of a century of diplomacy. The flattering reception accorded to it by the Press of Canada and of the Lower Provinces is highly encouraging to the Publisher, and it will be his aim to render the Almanac for 1865 still more worthy of commen- dation than its predecessor. In a work of so comprehensive a character it was not expected that errors of detail could be entirely avoided. Each day that dawns brings with it a thousand changes ; and some portions of a work of this nature by the lapse of a few weeks become obsolete and sink into a record of what has been. It is confidently expected that the Second Volume of this National Almanac will be an advance upon the first in freshness and accuracy of information, careful selection and variety of statistics, and general value as a work of reference. The toil, care, and expense involved in the preparation of a work of this kind can be duly appreciated only by those who have been engaged in similar undertakings. The Publisher trusts, there- fore, that the Public will accord to the second edition of this work that substantial support and encouragement which alone can justify its continuance.
