MITCHELL'S AMERICAN SYSTEM OF STANDARD SCHOOL GEOGRAPHY,

IN A SERIES; ADAPTED TO THE PROGRESSIVELY DEVELOPING CAPACITIES OF YOUTH.

Mitchell's School Series has been wholly or partly introduced into the Public and Private Schools of the principal Cities and Towns of the United States.

Mitchell's Primary Geography.

An easy Introduction to the Study of Geography; designed for the
Instruction of Children in Schools and Families; Illustrated by 120
Engravings and 14 coloured Maps. By _S. Augustus Mitchell_.
Price, 38 cents.

This work has been introduced into the Public Schools of Boston,
New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, New Orleans, St. Louis,
Louisville, Cincinnati, Pittsburg, and many other cities and towns
in the United States, and is in general use in the Private Schools
throughout the whole country.

Mitchell's Intermediate or Secondary Geography.

In this work, the maps and the entire reading matter are printed
together, and form one convenient quarto volume.

The whole is so arranged, that the maps, the description of each
country, and the questions dependent on them, are placed generally
on the same page, or on pages directly opposite, enabling pupils to
refer readily from one to the other, rendering the use of two
separate books unnecessary, and affording the required amount of
instruction in a more portable and convenient form.

This publication corresponds, in style of embellishment, colouring,
arrangement of lessons, and general scope of composition, to the
other Geographical Works of Mr. Mitchell, so as to form a
connecting link in the Series in progress, of which the Primary
Geography, the School Geography and Atlas, and the Ancient
Geography and Atlas, already published, form a part. Price, 75
cents.

Mitchell's School Geography.

A System of Modern Geography; comprising a Description of the
present State of the World, and its five great Divisions.
Embellished with numerous Engravings, and illustrated by an Atlas
of 28 Maps, drawn and engraved for the work. Second revised
edition. By _S. Augustus Mitchell_. Price, $1 12-1/2.

_From the Teachers of Public Schools in the City of New York._

We have examined "Mitchell's School Geography," and the Atlas that
accompanies it, with considerable care, and must give it the
preference to any work of the kind with which we are acquainted.
Its merits are numerous,--the definitions are remarkably plain and
concise,--the exercises are copious and important, and the
descriptive department is luminous and correct. The divisions of
the American Continent are represented and described as they really
exist at the present time, and the gross mis-statements generally
found in school Geographies are corrected. The typographical
execution is uncommonly neat and distinct. Indeed the Atlas is a
model of the kind, and actually teems with information. The
Geography is embellished with some hundreds of neat and
well-executed engravings, which illustrate and greatly enhance the
value of the work.

very general and rapid introduction into schools they have obtained
throughout the principal cities and towns of the United States, it
is believed that they are better adapted to the wants of schools
than any others.

An Ancient, Classical and Sacred Geography; embellished with
Engravings of Remarkable Events, Views of Ancient Cities, and
various interesting Antique Remains; and illustrated by an Ancient
Atlas. By _S. Augustus Mitchell_. Price, $1 25 cts.

A good system of Ancient Geography, in the English language, drawn
from authentic sources, with cuts illustrative of Ancient customs,
places, temples, and other buildings and remarkable events,
accompanied with a complete set of Maps of the World as known to
the ancients; Asia Minor, Greece, Italy, the Roman Empire; the
world as known to the Israelites, a Map of Canaan, with part of
Egypt, and the route of the Israelites through the Desert; plans of
Ancient Rome, Jerusalem, &c., was very much wanted by teachers of
Sabbath Schools, and the members of Bible Classes; and such a one,
so far as we are able to judge, we are happy to say, is now
presented to the public in a very attractive form. The cuts in the
Geography are exceedingly well done, and the Maps in the Atlas are
equally well engraved, and equally well printed.--_New York
Christian Advocate._

Mitchell's Biblical and Sabbath School Geography.

This work, with appropriate Maps and embellishments, is now in
progress, and will be published early in the ensuing season. Though
hitherto greatly needed, no book of the kind proposed, suitable for
the instruction of younger pupils in families and sabbath schools,
has yet appeared. The attention of the publishers has been recently
called to the subject, by the suggestions of gentlemen deeply
interested in price and dimensions, illustrating the geography of
the Holy Land, together with that of the other regions mentioned in
Scripture, specially adapted to the end proposed, should be
published.

For the basis of the proposed work, Part Second of Mitchell's
Ancient Geography, to which it is similar in scope and design, will
be adopted. As in that treatise, besides the requisite geographical
notices proper to the subject, such historical incidents connected
therewith will be interwoven with the narrative, as will render the
local descriptions more interesting, and an examination of the
various texts referred to will doubtless enable pupils to acquire a
more distinct understanding of the geography and history of the
sacred volume.

above will contain not less than 30 Maps, constructed particularly
for the work, and designed to correspond with and illustrate it in
the most precise manner.
