BRADBURY'S ELEMENTARY GEOMETRY. 116 pp., Price $1.00. BRADBURY'S ELEMENTARY TRIGONOMETRY, with Tables, 120 pp. Price $1.00. The Two Books in one volume, $1.50. These works are becoming very popular as text books, though they have been published but a few months. They answer more nearly than any others in these branches the growing demand for brief and concise books suited to the present grade of High Schools and Academies. They contain enough to prepare for college, and to lead to the higher mathematics, and the prac tical questions at the close of the different books, and exercises for original demonstration are features of great interest and value. They have already been introduced in a large number of the best schools in different parts of the country. From Prof. FRA'S BOWEN, Harvard College, Cambridge. Your Elementary Geometry is far the best introduction to the study which I have yet seen. It has the great me it of conciseness, omitting all irrelevant or otherwise needless matter, and contains within a small number of pages all the Plane and Solid Geometry which the pupil needs to know be fore he can be admitted to Harvard College. Then the Practical Questions and Geometrical Exercises are so judiciously prepared as not to perplex the student with needless difficuities, and yet to give him the quickness in computation, the readiness in applying his previous knowledge, and the skill in devising geometrical modes of proof for himself, which are a necessary preparation for the study of the higher mathematics. Your work ought to be made the only text book on the subject for use in our Academies and High Schools. From A. J. SWAIN, Esq., Principal of Stevens High School, Claremont N. II. The Geometry I am specially pleased with, inasmuch as it gives the student something to DO as well as LEARN. and is particularly adapted to schools where the time for Geometry is limited. From Mr. J. C. BULL, Teacher in American Asylum, Hartford. I am specially pleased with the idea upon which it is founded-that of the omission of unim portant matter, and th nk it will thus be well adapted to supply a long felt want in our higher schools. THOMPSON, BROWN & CO., [Late Thompson, Bigelow & Brown,] Also publish Bradbury's Eaton's Elementary Algebra. 250 pp. Price, $1.25. This is a work of moderate size and yet contains enough to prepare for teaching and for college. It has a large number and great variety of problems, but does not aim to present all the abstract principles included in many larger books. The book can be completed in one year in any well graded school, and has been introduced and is used in a large majority of the High Schools of New England, and extensively elsewhere. EATON'S SERIES OF ARITHMETICS. The different works of this series are believed to be better fitted than any others for the use of Grammar and Common Schools, Academies, High and Normal Schools. The examples are practical, definitions clear and concise, methods of analysis business like, and the books present the latest and most approved methods of mathematical instruction. The series is used exclusively in the Boston Schools, and more than any other series in the New England States, and largely West. From Mr. H. O. Harrington, Principal of High School, Danvers, Mass. The clearness and brevity of definitions and logical arrangement of principles are marked features of merit in Eaton's Mathematical Series. From Mr. T. P. Maryatt, Principal of High School, Peterboro', N. H. After using Eaton's Algebra a year, I can say that it has more than fulfilled my expectations. I have given the Geometry a pretty thorough examination and am decidedly of the opinion that it is the book we want. From C. W. Ranlet, Esq., Chairman of School Committee. Holyoke, Mass. * We have Eaton's Arithmetic and Algebra already, and are so well pleased with them that we shall continue them. From Merritt Young, Esq., Teacher, Warsaw, Wayne County, Iowa. I know of no works of the kind that I consider equal to Eaton's Arithmetic. Single copies of above work sent postage paid on receipt of half price.
