 RECOMMENDATIONS. 
 
 The following are selected from among the numerous Notices and Recommendations received 
 by the Author and Publishers of this system of Geography. 
 
 Frou Rev. Heman Humphrey, D. D., Prcs. of Amherst Coll. Mass. 
 
 Mr. J. Olnet, — Dtar Sir, — I have examined both yoiir Improved 
 School Alias, and Modern System of Geography, with more than or. 
 dinary satisfaction. Your arrangement of topics, appears to me better 
 adapted to the comprehension of the child, and to follow more closely 
 the order of naure, than any other elementary system of the kind with 
 which I am acquainted. Instead of having to encounter the diagrams, 
 problems and definitions of Astronomy, as soon as he opens his Geog- 
 raphy, the young learner is first presented with the elements of the 
 science, in their simplest and most attractive forms. His curiosity is 
 of course o wakened. That which would otherwise be regarded as an 
 irksome iask, is contemplated with pleasure. The opening mind exults 
 in the exercises of its faculties, and in the ease with which it every 
 day gathers new intullcctu.d treasures. The constant us.e which you 
 oblige the child to make ot his Atlas, I consider a great advantage ; 
 and the subsiitutiun of initials for the names of couniries, mountains, 
 rivers, ifec. a valuable improvement. There is, moreover, a condensa- 
 tion ol matter throughout, combined with a clearness and simplicity, 
 which eaniu-.t fail, 1 think, of being highly appreciated by u'l iinliuhten. 
 ed and judicious teachers. Your method of designating the length of 
 the principal rivers, is extremely simple and convenient. My best 
 wishes attend you in every eliort you make, lO facilitate the improve, 
 ments of the rising generation, in knowledge and Tirli:e. 
 
 Yours, with due respect, U. HUMPHREY. 
 
 From John .S. Peters, late Governor of the Slate of Connectlcii'. 
 
 M:t. Or.NEir, — Sir, — I have examined yout. " Practical System of 
 Modern Geography ;" and am pleased with the novelty of the scheme ; 
 1 nm persuaded, that children will have clearer views of the subject; 
 and obtain a knowledge in a shorter time than they could, to pursue 
 the commo i pl.ni of instruction. As a valuable improvement I rcconi. 
 mend it to ilic attention of the public. 
 
 Kespectfully, yourOb'tfidrvant, JOHN S. PETERS. 
 
 From the late Principal if tlie Hartford tirammar Schuul. 
 
 Messhs. D. F. Robinson & Co. — I have examined OIney's Geogra- 
 phy and Atlas, lately published by you, and am very well pleased wiih 
 the plan. 1 think it decidedly the best elementary system of Geogra. 
 phy, Icr the use of Schools and Academies, with which I am acipiaint. 
 ed ; and can cheerluUy recuniineiid it to the patronage of the public. 
 Yours, E. P. BARROWS, Jr. 
 
 From the Rev. H. JNI Brinsmade, Pitlsfiekl, Mass. 
 
 Messrs. D. F. Robi.\son & Co. — Gentlemen,— I have carefully ex- 
 amined the new Geography and Atlas, for the use of Schools, by Mr. 
 I J. Olney, and am highly pleased with the plan, and neatness of its typo- 
 I graphical execution. 
 
 The Geograpl.y is evidently the work of one who has had much ex. 
 peiieiiCf in teacliinir. By referring the pupil so constantly to the Atlas, 
 he acc|u:rps a ihoough knowledge ol the reliilUv situalionof the vari- 
 ous cuunines, and is thus enabled to make more rapid progress than 
 by ire't8'jrii._' mere iteacnptintts in the memory. 
 
 The eomineneemeiu of the work is exceedingly well adapted to the 
 yout!:f'jl mind, giving it to understand clearly the fir^t steps, a know. 
 j ledge ol which, too often, in works of this kind, is taken for granted. 
 In many respects this must be acknowledged superior to any work 
 ■"the kind which has preceded it, and will take a high rank in the ira. 
 .■oveinents which are making in our books ol education. 
 The Atlas is executed in a style superior to ihat of any School At. 
 s t have seen, and the lengili of the rivers, noted on the face of the 
 .i.ap, with the Table of distances, renders it peculiarly valuable. I sin. 
 cereiy wish, for the good of the ri.iing generation, that it may be uni- 
 versally iiitroilaced into our t-'chooU; and I think no instructer or 
 parent will find causbto regret the adoption of it. 
 
 II. N. BRINSMADK. 
 
 From Roberts Vaiix, Jisq;., President of the Board of Conti otters 
 Public Schools, Philadelphia. 
 The School Atlas, and OIney's Geography, submitted to my inspec 
 tion are, I think, highly meritorious productions. 
 
 From President Bates, Middlebury College. t 
 
 l\Tr. OIney's Geography appears well adapted to the capacity of 
 chi'dren, and therefore calcidated to be peculiarly useful in our Prima, 
 ry Schools. 
 
 From President Lord, Dartmniith College. 
 I have been much pleased with OIney's Geography. For Classes 
 of children commencing the study, I think it one ef our best books, 
 and would cheerfully recommend it, for use in families, and Schools. 
 
 I think OIney's Geography the best Elementary System, with wiiich 
 I am acquainted. 
 
 E. HALL, Principal of Middlebury Academy. 
 Middlebury Vt. 
 
 I have devoted what time I could spare for a few days past, to the 
 examination of Mr. Olii v's Geography. In its arrangement, it ap- 
 pears to me better adapted to the capacity of youth than any no* in 
 use. It justly deserves patronage, and I hope will receive it. I shall 
 recommend its use in this instiintion. 
 
 EPHRAIM KINGSBURY, Preceptor. 
 
 H.iserhitl Acader.y. 
 
 After having examined Mr. Oiney's Geography and Alhas, I have no 
 hesitation in saying, that the method of instruction it proposes, is more 
 simple and intelligible, the arrangement of matter more lucid and 
 natural, anJ for one ol its kind comliines more advantages and lacililies 
 for the acquisition of Geographical knowledge, than any I have hereto- 
 fore seen. I shall use my exertions to have it Jniroduced, to the exclu- 1 
 sion of all others, into the school under mv instruciioa. 
 
 KOi;EU .S. HOWARD, 
 Principal of the Ncu-bi(ri/j>ort Gritmmar School. 
 
 From a hasty perusal ol '• A Practical System of .Modern Geogra. 
 phy," by J. Oliiey, I have no hesitation in saying, that it is a work better 
 calculated to initiate the young pupil into a knowledge of that science, 
 than anything of the kind that has yet come under my consideration. 
 
 THOMAS HARDY, Instructer. 
 
 Franklin Academy, Dover, JV. H. 
 
 From, the Hartford Christian Secretary. 
 
 We confidently give our opinion that the public will be satisfied that 
 in point of practical utility and adaptation, thi. "system of Modern 
 Geography" excels any thing of the hind thnt lias preceded it. No 
 man is better able, from his situation, to detect and apply a remedy to 
 ihe evils of former systems of instruction in tnis important branch of 
 learning, than Mr. Olney. Sustaining the situauon of principal of ine 
 public school in this city ; his long and intimate acquaintance with the 
 business of imparting instruction to youth, particularly In this branch: 
 and having before him the labors of his predecessors, his situation ano 
 experience has enabled him to present to the public a work on Modern 
 Geography, which, we doubt not, will receive their approbation and 
 extensive patronage. 
 
 From the Connecticut Mirror. 
 
 As an elementary book we certainly have never seen anything of the 
 kind, that will compare with it. Simplicity is its leading feature, .and 
 instruction its real object. It is adapted to the humblest capacity, and 
 may be studied m connection with the Atlas, almost as advantageously 
 by children, as by those of a maturer age. We are not accustomed to 
 speak in terms of praise of every now school book which appears, for ii 
 is countenancing the practice oftaxing parents and guardians, no matter 
 how heavily, " for the sake of a change." But in the case of .Mr. OIney's 
 Geography, we are so well satisfied that it is just what is wanted in our 
 common schools, that we really account it our duty to aid in imrodu. 
 cing it.
