WARREN COLBURN,-I am glad that you have possession of the copyright of Mr. Colburn's immortal work on Mental Arithmetic. Everything I have scen confirms me in the opinion which I early formed, that it is the most original and far the most valuable work upon the subject that has yet appeared. Where it has been used, and properly used, in a school, I find an intelligence and readiness in the processes of Mental Arithmetic which I look for in vain in cases where the instruct. has been conducted upon principles foreign to those which Mr. Col! on introVery respectfully yours, GEO. I' MERSON. auces. "No man among us has contributed so much to a net method of studying mathematics as the lamented Colburn. I have no hesitation in saying that his books are not only the best in the country, but so far as my information extends, the best in the world. The First Lessons' are above all praise. THOMAS SHERWIN, "Master of the English High School, Boston." From W. II. Wells, Superintendent of Public Schools, Chicago. Chicago, Oct. 22, 1863. “I shall never cease to appreciate and admire both Colburn's First Lessons' and that prince of educators, George B. Emerson, who has o long stood godfather for this little book." 66 From Edward I. Stearns. "Colburn's First Lessons' has already taken its place with Euclid as a permanent text-book.” From the Preface to Eaton's Written Arithmetic. 117 "No scholar should be allowed to study written arithmetic until he is familiar with that incomparable work, · Warren Colburn's First Lessons.' ' ESTABLISHED HIGHEST EXCELLENCE.

In consequence of the great success of Mr. Epes Sargent in his speciali. ty of preparing Readers for schools, there has been a large demand for new books from him; and he has consequently prepared an entirely new and improved Series of Readers, which have been carefully and elegantly electrotyped, and are now ready for sale. The smaller books are beautifully illustrated, and all those improvements which constant consultation with our best teachers have suggested, are included. We defy contradiction in saying that the Series is the best, the handsomest, the most carefully prepared, and, we may add, the cheapest, ever yet published. Our most accomplished elocutionists frankly admit the striking superiority of the Series ;-Mr.. Sargent having had his entire time for years to give to the preparation—an advantage which he has enjoyed over all known compilers. Mr. Sargent's long experience, careful scholarship, high culture as a literary man, acknowledged taste, added to his admitted success in ONE Series of Readers, of which millions are still sold annually, are a guarantee that committees cannot go far out of the way of the public wants, in selecting his New Series.
