SCHOOL BOOKS, PUBLISHED BY JENKS AND PALMER, BOSTON. BAILEY'S ALGEBRA. FIRST LESSONS IN ALGEBRA; designed for the use of Academies and Common Schools. By E. Bailey, late Principal of the Young Ladies' High School, Boston. A KEY TO THE FIRST LESSONS IN ALGEBRA, containing Answers to the Questions, and Solutions of all the difficult Problems. [From S. R. Swett, Esq., Principal of Normal School, Kingsboro', N. Y.] "Some three or four years since, I received a copy of Bailey's Algebra. I examined the work with interest, and was so well pleased with it that I immediately formed a class. I found, on trial, that it was just the work for beginners. The class in Bailey were soon able to instruct those who studied other works, and commenced at the same time. Since this I have recommended the work to several teachers, most of whom have introduced it with entire success." The First Lessons in Algebra, by the late Mr. Bailey, is used in the New London Female Academy, and I think it admirably adapted to facilitate the progress of young persons in that science. D. HUNTINGTON, Principal. New London, Oct. 4, 1839. The First Lessons in Algebra, by Mr. E. Bailey, I regard as an excellent work, and wisely adapted to the end proposed. Teachers and pupils will find many hints in it which could not be obtained from any other source without much labor. JOHN W. IRWIN, Principal of Danbury Academy. Danbury, Oct. 24, 1940. Bailey's Algebra is used in the Institution under my charge, and I hesitate not to pronounce it one of the best elementary works of the kind, with which I am acquainted. E. E. BEARDSLEY, October 18, 1839. Principal of Episcopal Academy, Cheshire, Conn. From an examination of Bailey's Algebra, I consider the science very much simplified, and, compared with Day, Bonnycastle and others, I have no hesitation in giving it the preference, as an elementary work, in our schools. Warwick, Orange County, N. Y. JAMES W. STEVENS. From a careful examination of Bailey's Algebra, I consider it the best work that can be put into the hands of the beginner, and shall introduce it into my school. Florida, Orange County, N. Y. A. P. SEELEY. We have examined Bailey's Algebra with attention, and,. feeling convinced of its superiority over any other work of the kind, have resolved to introduce it into our Seminary. ELIZABETH M. CRAFTS, MARGARET S. MARSHALL, Principals of Naugatuck Female Seminary. Naugatuck, N. Y., Oct. 18, 1839. We have never seen a work, in which the elements of Algebra could be learned so easily as in this before us. Though thoroughly conversant with Mr. Colburn's work, and admirers of his inductive system, we must say that we think Mr. Bailey's book better adapted to beginners, and that Mr. B. has gone beyond him, as he himself went far beyond the teachers of the "old regime."-N. Y. Mirror. By the plan which has been adopted, any child, having a tolerable acquaintance with the four fundamental rules of common arithmetic, is qualified to commence the study of this Algebra.-N. Y. Evening Post. Its arrangement is good, the rules are simple, yet perspicuous, and the examples are very beautiful, yet easily understood.-Montreal Gazette. Bailey's admirable treatise on Algebra renders that interesting and important branch of science, by the simplicity of its directions, plain to the meanest capacity. -Knickerbocker. Of the other volume, "The First Lessons in Algebra," the work of a very eminent instructer in Boston, it is hardly possible to speak in too high terms of approbation. It is so clear, simple and intelligible; so rich in examples and illustrations, and so perfectly adapted to the convenience of teachers and the understanding of young scholars, that we shall be mistaken in our conjecture, if it should not render Algebra a favorite branch of instruction in our respectable schools. -U. S. Gazette. L SCHOOL BOOKS, PUBLISHED BY JENKS AND PALMER, BOSTON. GOODRICH'S U. S. AND QUESTIONS. A HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA; on a plan adapted to the capacity of youth, and designed to aid the memory, by systematic arrangement and interesting associations. By Charles A. Goodrich. Revised and enlarged from the one hundredth edition. Containing general views of the Aboriginal Tribes; sketches of the Discoveries and Settlements made by different nations; the progress of the Colonies; the Revolution; the several Administrations to President Tyler's. The whole interspersed with notices of the different eras, of the progress of Manners, Religion, Commerce, Agriculture, Arts, and Manufactures, Population and Education. This valuable and popular school book has undergone a careful and thorough revision by the author, after having passed through more than one hundred editions, comprising upwards of two hundred and fifty thousand copies. Its value has been much increased by the corrections and additions which have been made; and the work is now the most approved, and probably the most extensively in use, of any school book of the kind. The constantly increasing demand for it, is the best test of its excellence and adaptedness to the purpose for which it was designed. [The following, copied from the late Mr. Emerson's prospectus of the Wethersfield Female Seminary, is of weight, as proceeding from one of the most experienced teachers in New England.] "By using it the last season, the high opinion which I had formed of its worth was confirmed and raised. The author is uncommonly happy in his arrangement of facts; in presenting a simple, concise and luminous view of the subject, which in its nature is peculiarly complex and intricate; in dividing the time into eleven periods; in tracing causes and effects;-in publishing the principal and subordinate parts in type of different sizes; and in presenting reflections for the benefit of the youthful mind." "The style is easy, neat, and remarkably perspicuous, and suited to improve the taste of the learner. On this account this compend appears peculiarly adapted to the use of schools." "If any other circumstance is necessary to explain the fact that it has run through so many editions, it may be found in its better adaptation to the real wants and actual state of our schools than the other works." QUESTIONS ON THE ENLARGED AND IMPROVED EDITION OF GOODRICH'S SCHOOL HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES,-to which are added Outline Tables, for General Review, on a New Plan. This book of Questions is by the author of the History, by whom it was prepared at the time of the revision of that work. The questions are distributed in Periods and Sections, corresponding to the periods and sections of the History. In addition to the questions which relate particularly to the text of the History, other and more general questions are interspersed, designed to exercise the skill and judg ment of the pupil, and test the fidelity with which he has attended to the study. In addition to the Questions, the book contains a Plan for General Review, consisting of Outline Tables in relation to various subjects treated of in the History. QUESTIONS AND SUPPLEMENT TO GOODRICH'S HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES. By the Rev. Joseph Emerson, Principal of the Female Seminary in Wethersfield, Conn. [Extract from the Preface.] 'Till within a few years, perhaps no school book has been more needed than a good History of the United States. This most unhappy deficiency has been in a good degree supplied by the excellent and popular work of Mr. Goodrich. My first perusal of this book convinced me that it was the best extant for the purpose intended. This conviction has been increased by a more intimate acquaintance with it and much experience. "In proportion to the time, it has probably had a greater circulation than any other school book of equal size, Murray's excepted." M SCHOOL BOOKS, PUBLISHED BY JENKS AND PALMER, BOSTON.

This work has also been prepared, at the earnest request of Teachers of Music in several of the large Female Seminaries, to meet a want which has long existed. "It is a valuable acquisition to the list of musical publications, particularly as a prominent object of the author appears to be, to extend among that class of persons for whom the work is especially designed, some general, but systematical, instructions for forming and training the voice. There are one hundred and fifty-two pages, thirty-nine of which are devoted to exercises for the cultivation of the voice, and the remainder to a collection of beautiful songs." WILLIAM C. BROWN, Editor of Young Ladies' Friend. Mr. Silas Bruce, Teacher of Music in the Young Ladies' Seminary, Townsend, Mass., after advising the publishers of its introduction into that institution, remarks: "The book is timely, and the music sweet and flowing; the form and size are good and neat; and indeed if there were nothing save the vocalizing exercises and solfeggios, the value of the work would far exceed the small sum for which it sells." It The work is designed for young ladies in a course of education in seminaries. is just such a book as is needed for the purpose for which it was designed, and we cordially recommend it to teachers of Music in Academies and High Schools and to young ladies generally.-Musical Visitor.

This work may be regarded as a sequel to the 'Little Songster;' that work having been intended for children under eight or nine. "One peculiar feature of the present work is the addition of a set of elementary exercises, chiefly from the German of Kubler-and being the same as those found in the Boston Academy's Manual,' can therefore be used in connection with that work. "The melodies are many of them by distinguished composers. Those to which no name is attached, were written expressly for this work by the compiler. "The effort has been to make a useful book, and one adapted to the specific object of the musical cultivation of youth."
