RATIONAL SERIES OF STANDARD SCHOOL-BOOKS

COMPRISES STANDARD WORKS

In every department of instruction and of every grade. The teacher in want of a book for any par
ticular purpose or class, will always find the best of its kind in our catalogue. No other series even
claims to be as complete as this. None is so extensive or so judiciously selected. Among so many
volumes a high standard of merit is maintained, as it is our aim never to permit our imprint upon a

EDUCATION TEhy book. It is also our plan to make books not for a class or sect, but for the whole

objectionable to parties and creeds, while inculcating the great principles of political
freedom and Christianity, upon which all right-minded persons are agreed. Hence, and from their
almost universal circulation, the name-" National Series." Among the principal volumes are
Parker & Watson's Readers-in two distinct series, each complete in itself. The

National Readers, of full grade, in large, elegant volumes, adequate for every want of
the most thorough and highly graded schools. The Independent Readers, in smaller
volumes, for Common Schools. Low in price, but in no other respect inferior to the companion
series. Spellers complete to accompany either series.
Davies' Mathematics-Arithmetic, Algebra, Geometry, Surveying,
called for, and the sale increases year by year. New volumes are constantly published to take
Millions have been
the places of those that are in the least behind the times. Examine the new Series.
Barnes' Brief Histories-The United States History; and others to follow.
-For one term of study. Makes history short by omitting that which is usually forgotten,
interesting by charming language and illustrations, and pointed by a system of grouping about
the most important events. No dry bones or tedious statistics.

Monteith's Geographies-Topical, Descriptive, Political, Physical.—
-These works are eminently practical, and enjoy a larger circulation than any other series. From
a number of volumes not necessarily consecutive, the teacher may select just the book he wants.
Steele's Natural Science-"14 Weeks"
Chemistry, Astronomy, Geology, &c.-Brief, intense, popular beyond all precedent;

HISTORY OF GERMAN LITERATURE, GERMAN AND ENGLISH LEXICON.

1. THE GERMAN GRAMMARS of Worman are widely preferred on account of their clear, explicit method (on the conversation plan), introducing a system of analogy and comparison with the learners' own language and others commonly studied.

The arts of speaking, of understanding the spoken language, and of correct pronunciation, are treated with great success.

The new classifications of nouns and of irregular verbs are of great value to the pupil. The use of heavy type to indicate etymological changes, is new. The Vocabulary is synonymical-also a new feature.

II. WORMAN'S GERMAN READER contains progressive selections from a wide range of the very best German authors, including three complete plays, which are usually purchased in separate form for advanced students who have completed the ordinary Reader.

It has Biographies of eminent authors, Notes after the text, References to all German Grammars in common use, and an adequate Vocabulary; also, Exercises for translation into the German.

III. WORMAN'S GERMAN ECHO (Deutsches Echo) is entirely a new thing in this country. It presents familiar colloquial exercises without translation, and will teach fluent conversation in a few months of diligent study.

No other method will ever make the student at home in a foreign language. By this he thinks in, as well as speaks it. For the time being he is a German through and through. The laborious process of translating his thoughts no longer impedes free unembarrassed utterance.
