A SELECTION OF ENGLISH SYNONYMS. First American, from the Second London Edition. Revised and enlarged. 12mo. pp. 180. 63 cents.
"For a clear and full understanding of the force
and meaning of these, the reader will find here
great assistance."--_Merchants' Magazine._
"It will be welcome to the lovers of nice
philological distinctions. As a whole, they are
marked by good sense, as well as by critical
acumen; and rich as they are in suggestions, even
to the most accomplished word-fancier, they cannot
be studied without advantage."--_Harper's
Magazine._
"It is marked by that strong common-sense and
accurate learning which have rendered the author's
educational treatises so indispensable to all
professional teachers. We know of no work on
synonyms that is equal in value to this."--_New
York Recorder._

WHATELY'S ELEMENTS OF LOGIC.
ELEMENTS OF LOGIC, comprising the Substance of the Article in the Encyclopaedia Metropolitana, with Additions, &c. By Richard Whately, D. D., Archbishop of Dublin. New revised Edition, with the Author's last Additions. Large 12mo. pp. 484. Cloth stamped. $1.00.
"This work (Elements of Logic) has long been our
text-book here. The style in which you have
published this new edition of so valuable a work
leaves nothing to be desired in regard of elegance
and convenience."--PROFESSOR DUNN, _Brown
University._
"Its merits are now too widely known to require an
enumeration of them. The present American edition
of it is conformed to the ninth English edition,
which was revised by the author, and which
contains several improvements on the former
issues."--_North American Review._
"This elementary treatise holds a very high rank
among the educational works of the day, having
been introduced into most of the best managed and
popular seminaries of learning, both in England
and the United States. It is got up in correct and
beautiful style."--_Merchants' Magazine._
"From stereotype plates, and the new ninth edition
revised by its author, have just been published,
in a fairer and handsomer style, than the English
copy, Archbishop Whately's Elements of Logic,
which, like the 'Rhetoric' by the same prelate,
has taken its place as a standard work, and is too
generally known and used to need special
notice."--_Christian Inquirer._
* * * * *
WHATELY'S ELEMENTS OF RHETORIC.
ELEMENTS OF RHETORIC: comprising an Analysis of the Laws of Moral Evidence and of Persuasion, with Rules for Argumentative Composition and Elocution. New Edition, revised by the Author. Large 12mo. pp. 546. $1.00.
"The Elements of Rhetoric has become so much a
standard work that it might seem superfluous to
speak of it. In short, we should not dream of
teaching a college class from any other book on
Rhetoric. Communion with Whately's mind would
improve any mind on earth."--_Presbyterian
Quarterly Review._

"It is an admirably clear and simple introduction
to Dr. Whately's 'Elements of Logic,' being
designed, apparently, to facilitate the use of
that work in academies and high schools."--_North
American Review._
"It is marked on every page by that same strong
good-sense and solid learning, which have rendered
his works on Logic and Rhetoric to universally
valuable as text-books for students."--_Boston
Daily Advertiser._
"The work before us is an attempt to simplify the
study of logic, and to set young persons at the
good task of thinking,--thinking correctly, and
speaking correctly. The attempt is admirable, and
the volume deserves general patronage."--_United
States Gazette._
