Esicasoi, Professor of Mathematical and Military Science+. ' N B.—The "Calculator" is adopted as a Text-hook in the Reading Collegiate Institute. G. W. F. E. Reading, l'a., June, 1819. The following communicn lions' were written by two of the beat arithmeticians In the country: [From the Easton Sentinel Mr. Editor:—The acquisition of the science of num bers; as arithmetic is called, is one of much importance, and occupies the "going to school," time of our juve nile existence. In acqUiring this knowledge, books are necessary, although In teaching, a teacher should not confine himself entirely to them, but oral instruction should he resorted to. We have a great variety of sys tems of arithmetic In use, but for the most part, they are not exactly what I think an arithmetic should be:— as wind In its juvenile state has to grapple with this science, it should be made as Interesting as possible. It should be devoid of all extraneous, or irrelevant matter, —simplicity should be the principal feature.' By sim plicity, I do not Intend mental calculations, figures of birds, apples, marbles, &e.,—seeing little arithmetical knowledge can be gained, Ant by the use of the slate. The different rules should he stated as briefly as possi ble, and In language that the scholar, with a little help from the teacher can easily comprehend. The exam ples under each rule should be as varied and as practi cal as possible. and the Monist. CUatiescv of our country. so far as the practical part is concerned,ehould prevail to the exclusion of all others. I ant prompted to these remarks by the appearance of a new work on arithmetic, called she ' - Colombian Calcuiator,? by A. Ticknor of this place. This book meets my views of what an arithmetic should.he, better than any I have ever seen, indeed I do not see much room for improve ment. Mr. Ticknor has also lately published a small book or arithmetic for beginnere, which in my opinion is admirably adapted as an initiation to this study, and will be the moat popular work of the kind ever pub- The two together forming a complete system and better adapted to the use of American citizens than anything else. If recommendations are any proof of superior merit, then surely Mr. Tielsiork work stands unrivalled. for, no work a the kind can compare with I:In this respect, either for numbers or weight. The'author has labored hard and long In efiecticig his object. and deserves well of the community. and I true he will realize In the sale of his work, that pecuniary compensation which he cer tainly merits. N f Frem. the West Chester Re; M iAter.j_ THE COLUMLIAN SERIES OF ARIMETIC Mr. Editor t—llaying been for several years engaged us a teacher, and being persuaded that it is a duty incum bent upon those whom occupation it is to Impart Maroc don to youth, to examine. recommend and encourage the vale of such books as are best calculated to promote the object for which they labor, and erring a notice in the Register recommending A. Tickner's "Youth's Columbian Calculator," and also its ..system of Decimal Arithmetic," I was induced to examine them, in order to ascertain whether or not they possessed advantages superior to those works on the subject already in use. The "Youth's Calculator." Is, in my opinion, a book of intrinsic merit, and decidedly preferable twiny other that has met the public eye It contains a greriternumter of useful practical example* . for solution, ail adapted to,tbe capacities of youth; than any other book on the subject that I base seen. 'lt avoids both extremes. The questions are neither too puerile nor too abstruse. This book is intended for youth, not for infants.

On these accounts it cannot but recommend it self to the attention of every teacher of youth, and it will be introduced into our institution, at least, as soon as packable. . •E. D. T6OlllKi.

Mr. Ticknor—Dear Sir:—llanlndexamined.the work entitled the .Columbian Calculator," I deem It due to the author to nay it in the beet:work upon arithmetic that I have examined ; therefore I wowd recommend it to the putlic reboots In our district. • )YOUTAI mpectfully, J. M. Herr, Teacher. The "Columbian Calculator," by Mr. Almon Tick nor, I have examined, and mast aay that I am very mach pleased with its arrangement, and I think its in troduction Into our schools would be a great nod public benefit. Czo. Rua. Principal Public School, New Berlin, Colon Co., Pa [From the Easton Jtiurital..l Mr. Editor:—The grand object in a course of elertten tary education should ever be, the securing a Mae and permanent foundation. It is selfevideni, that If this col id foundation be not secured, the future tatter of the teacher will become comparatively valueless, and the standard of the pupils' attainments necesaarily super ficial. The well-educated teacher will claim little sym pathy with those of his profession. who, in order to se cure an Vanescetit fame for his schbol, will hastily rear asuperstructnre that 'halibut sand for its foundation. It is eminently doe the young scholar., and due the teacher himself, that bo should advance them by a grad eat and sere process of instruction. He will commence with the ;rimer; elements in the various departments of useful study, and "rooting and grounding" them well in those elements, he will proceed gradually, laying. broader and deeper the, foundation of their education, until he has prepared the way for the up-rearing of an elegant,efflcient and permanent superstmcture. These remarks premiaed, it affords the writer no or dinary pleasure to recommend to our seminariei and district schools, a work lately published, entitled "The Youth's Columbian Calculator." hyAlmon Ticknor, au thor of the."Columblan Calculator." and which was prepared for the press for the specific object of making it serve as an WI-eduction to the latter work, and thu want of which was felt by pupils commencing the study of arithmetic. We are confident that the teacher who will examine the "Youth's Columbian Calculator," will he rewarded tor ha pains, by finding at last,a work pre cisely adapted to the ordinary capacities of juvenile minds, and which admirably prepares the way for ta king tip the larger and equally excellent work of the same celebrated author Timm' riter of this article is making use of thia ''introductitry course on arithmetic" in his school, and finda it exactly adapted to accomplish the important object intended by its publication. We again heartily recommend, therefore, the "Youth's Columbian Calculator," as a most excellent Introduc tory Step to the larger woe:. known as the 4 -Columbian Calculator." The book concludes with the Rule of .Three; and from the commencement to the endainfolds lit the most simple, pleasing a nilsnast erl y manner, the ground-work or coast anent pri.lllll , principles of arith metical science. It is just the work needed by Our schools. 'The examples are original and practical.' while the cleatness and brevity of its elucidation. ..o der it caclnaling to the juvenile mind.

That -there is a strung analogy be tween many constitittional.dise,ises and the effects of poisonous agents introduced into the blood, no one will deny, and that these diseases age due to the action of some morbillic matter, which has affected both its physical and4ital properties. What that effect may lead to Is forcibly sketched by Dr Williams: "The ap piCaranceof pethlre(diseoloration) on the external sur face, the occurrence of more extensive hemorrhage in Internal pans, the general fluidity, of the ninon and frequently its unusually dark or - otherwise altered as peet,in poisonous properties,as exhibited in its delete rious operations on other animals, and its proneness to pa, into desamposition, point out till Bleed as as first part sf disorder. and by the failure of Ile natural proper ties and offices as the vivitier of all structure and function. it Is plainly the medium by ivhich death be gins in the boil)."
