ONE VOLUME QUARTO, HANDSOMELY ILl.u.s.tRATED. _(Preparing.)_
MITCh.e.l.l'S GEOGRAPHICAL SERIES.
There are no works published in this country that are more in demand, or that have a wider circulation than those of Mr. Mitch.e.l.l. There are upwards of 350,000 copies of his geographical works sold annually, and more than 250 workmen are constantly employed upon them. The arrangements of the publishers are such, that they are enabled to give the most correct and latest geographical discoveries and improvements of any firm in the United States. They publish the only full series of geographics in the country, and having in constant employ a strong geographical force of map engravers, &c., and being very largely engaged in the publication of the various State and other maps, they are enabled to present the school series correct, both in maps and matter, up to the date of publication.
DESCRIPTION OF THE SERIES
MITCh.e.l.l'S PRIMARY GEOGRAPHY.
SECOND REVISED EDITION.
AN EASY INTRODUCTION TO THE STUDY OF GEOGRAPHY.
DESIGNED FOR THE INSTRUCTION OF CHILDREN IN SCHOOLS AND FAMILIES.
Ill.u.s.trated by 120 Engravings and 14 coloured Maps.
BY S. AUGUSTUS MITCh.e.l.l.
The publishers have embraced the opportunity of a new revision of the work to augment its size, so that the book is now a third larger than any of the preceding editions.
The Maps for the present edition have all been redrawn and re-engraved.
They are on a much larger scale, more distinct, and fuller in information than those of the previous editions, or any similar work extant. The true boundaries of all the Western States and Territories are exhibited, California, Utah, &c., and proper attention given to all political changes up to the present time.

MITCh.e.l.l'S INTERMEDIATE OR SECONDARY GEOGRAPHY.

ILl.u.s.tRATED BY FORTY MAPS AND NUMEROUS WOOD-CUT ENGRAVINGS.
Designed for the instruction of Youth in Schools and Families.
BY S. AUGUSTUS MITCh.e.l.l.
Mitch.e.l.l's Intermediate Geography, the last published book of the series, has been before the public but a short time, yet it has been extensively introduced and is now largely used in public and private schools throughout the Union. It has been adopted independently, or in connection with other numbers of the series, by the Public School Directors of the cities of
New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Was.h.i.+ngton, St. Louis, Albany, Rochester, Cleveland, Syracuse, Utica, Schenectady, Oswego, &c. &c.
By numerous county boards in the various States, and a great number of the towns and villages of the whole country.
MITCh.e.l.l'S GEOGRAPHICAL SERIES.
This work is designed to occupy a medium place between the Author's Primary, and the well known School Geography and Atlas, of which last book it contains about two-thirds of the amount of matter.
Like the Primary Geography, the Map Questions are upon the same or opposite page to the map itself, so that in no case have the leaves to be turned to find an answer to the question.
Superior excellence is claimed for this book, on account of the natural and progressive order of the lessons,--of the conciseness and truthfulnes of the descriptive matter,--of the number, correctness, and uniform excellence of the Maps,--from the fact that the book is faithfully revised as often as political changes in our own or other countries require it,--that the p.r.o.nunciations of the difficult geographical names are given,--and finally, on account of the superior mechanical execution of the work.
As a specimen of numerous recommendations the publishers have received, they submit the following:
_Copy of a pet.i.tion of the Public School Teachers of the City of Troy, New York, addressed to the Board of Education of said city._
GENTLEMEN,--Having examined Mitch.e.l.l's Intermediate and Primary Geographies, and faithfully compared them with Smith's, in regard to accuracy of definitions, reliability of topography, and faithfulness of the descriptive part, we, the undersigned, teachers, are respectively of opinion that the interests of your public schools require that the former geographies be subst.i.tuted, to be used in our schools in the room of the latter, and we respectfully request that this change may be made.
