OUR WORLD, No. II.; or, Second Series of Lessons in Geography. By MARY L. HALL. With fine illustrations of the various countries, the inhabitants and their occupations, and two distinct series of Maps, 5 pages physical, and 19 pages of finely engraved copperplates political. Quarto. 181 pages This book is intended, if used in connection with the First Lessons, to cover the usual course of geographical study. It is based upon the principle that it is more useful to give vivid conceptions of the physical features and political associations of different regions than to make pupils familiar with long lists of places and a great array of statistics. OUTLINES OF THE ART OF EXPRESSION. By J. This little book was not manufactured to meet a demand, though it is believed that a demand for such a work has long existed. It grew, in the author's classroom, out of an attempt to remedy the defective training in English of students who were, in other respects, qualified to pursue to advantage a college course. With a cursory survey of English Grammar (from the logical and historical point of view) it combines brief practical suggestions with reference to Composition and Rhetoric, together with examples for criticism and topics for practice in the construction of sentences. The book was privately printed, for the use of the author's classes, a year ago, and is given to the public, at the request of many teachers, in the hope that it may be useful to college professors who desire some brief, but comprehensive manual of English on which to condition candidates for admission to college. The lack of such a manual has compelled many a college professor either to give instruction, during the Freshman year, which should devolve on the preliminary training school, or to approach his proper work in Rhetoric and English at a very great disadvantage. The attention of teachers of rhetoric in our colleges and also in our academies and high schools-is especially called to the work as likely to meet a felt necessity. They will find it intensely direct and practical; yet resting, it is hoped, upon a sound theoretical basis which will facilitate the work of further and more systematic instruction. While Professor Gilmore's ART OF EXPRESSION has this special adaptation, the publishers believe that it cannot wisely be overlooked wherever, for any reason, an intelligent review of English Grammar is desired. 4 |
