"Without exception, the best book of its class we have seen. We recommend its immediate adoption by all public and private teachers."-Atlas. "We are qualified by ample trial of the books in our own classes to speak to their great efficiency and value. We have never known so much interest evinced, or so much progress made, in the study of geography, as since we have employed these as our school-books."-Educational Times. "We have not before met with a work so complete and original in its details, so comprehensive and carefully arranged in its plan, as this geography of Dr. Cornwell, which will certainly supersede all other school abridgments as soon as it is generally known."-Simmonds's Colonial Magazine.

In this Edition the statistical and other informatior is brought down to the latest period, especially as regards the United Kingdom and her colonies and dependencies. An Index is also added, comprising every name found in the work.

Westminster Review.

"The plan of this work is very superior. We are persuaded that this little work will be found valuable to the intelligent instructor."

Colonial Magazine.

"Dr. Cornwell has furnished an admirable work in this description of literature, a very valuable addition to ordinary, or what should be ordinary, school-books. He has carefully avoided the adoption of technical terms of strange and deterring sound, employing common terms in their usual meanings, so that the familiar phraseology of elementary works is made accessory to the introduction of a new but necessary branch of English education. We have no hesitation in recommending the addition of 'The Young Composer' to the regular contents of every satchel."

QUESTIONS ON THE GEOGRAPHY FOR
BEGINNERS.

In using this book of 48 pages of precise, simpie Questions, a child examines himself, and finds out whether he is acquainted with any given portion of the Geography.

Some Questions here and there, the answers to which are not found in the " Geography for Beginners," have designedly been inserted; these, by a little thought and a reference to the map, will be readily answered by the pupil.
