not worse, to puzzle the beginner In Arithmetic with
questions in any other money than our nwo, at a time,
too, when the unavoidable intricacies of the Science are
sufficiently numerous and difficult to task all his pa:

to excite and sustain his interest in the Minty. After
he has become well versed in the principles of Arith

Ticknor. Afttr a careful examination of the work, I
have cnme to thq conclusion that it is well calculated
to impart a full and clear understanding of figures, as
applicable in the.business transactions of the country,

work is full and comprehensive, and treats of several
subjects which are often omitted in elementary works,
among which I was particularly pleased to nut ice.is that
of "Practical Mensuration." A familiar acquaintance
with the principles therein developed would form an ex.

Mr. Ticknor—Dear Sir have examined yonr book
entitled the •tCnlunthian Calculatnr," and can say I ant
much pleased with its contents. It combines great per
spicuity of arrangement withoriginality and excellence,
of matter, long theoretical explanations, napless to
young students, and all else not highly practical and
useful is wisely excluded from its pages. I think it
well calculated for all primary schools. The work it
self bears evidence of the ability and experience of its
author, and to these who may have occasion to use or
examine it, it . will be ItSkiwn best recommendation.

The "Youth's Calculator." is, is my opinion, a book of

intended for youth, not for infant.. It leads the young

Mr. Editor.—The grand object in a course of elemen
tary education should ever be, the securing a sore and
permanent foundation. It Is setf•evident, that if this
solid foundation he lot secured, the future labor ado,
teacher will become comparatively valueless,, and the
standard of the pupils' attainments necessarily super
ficial. The well-educated teacher will claim little sym
pathy with those of kis profession. who, in order to se
cure an evanescent fame fnt his school, will hastily rear
a superstructnre that has but sand (or its foundation.
It is eminently due the young scholars, and due the
teacher himself: that he should advance them bing-rad
sal and rare process of instruction. lie will commence
with the primary elements in the various departments
of useful study, and "rooting and grounding" them well
In those elements; he wllf proceed greadsally., laying
broader and deeper the foundation of their education,
,• until he has prepared the way for the up•rearing of an
elegant.efficient and permanent superstructure.
These remarks premised, it affords the writer no or
dinary pleasure to recommend to our seminaries and
district schools, a work lately published, entitled "The
Youth's Columbian Calculator," by Almon Ticknor, su
thor of the "Columbian Calculator," and which was

It serve as an introduction to the latter work, and the

:clarity adapted to the ordinary capacities of juvenile

cure for all diseases; however valuable it may be In
certain conditions of the system, still I have believed
that a.cure for consumption would be discovered soon
er or later, and curiosity led me to try your medicine In
two very inveterate cases. They were pronounced by
the attending physicians to be pa/winery Cossamplion
and abandoned by them as incurable. One of these
persons had been under the treatment of several very
able practitioners for a lumber of years. and they said
she had "old fatAioxed einessunprien combined with
Scrofula," and that she might linger for some tiree.bilt
could not be permanently relieved. In both cases the
effect of the - Panacea has been most gratifying. Only
tour or five bottles were used by °near' the persons be
