A wtiole volume of the most exalted rec
ommendations of this series of Arithmetics,
from the best Educators in all sections of the
country, who have used lhem,rnn he shown.
Tbe following will be sufficient for the pres
ent purpose.
BROOKLYN SCHOOLS.
Having submitted "Stoddard's Intellectual
Arithmetic to the practical test of the school
room, we have no hesitation in expressing a
strong preference for it over all text Books
on the subject. The author has taken a de
cided step in advance of those who have
preceded him; and his labors are likely to
do much toward popularizing a study, the
importance of which aa a mental discipline
can hardly be over estimated. The works
formerly in use were dificient of systematic
arrangement, were neither gradual enough in
thtir transitions, nor sufficiently comprehen
sive and varied aB regards their examples.—
Stoddard's on the other hand, is an eminent
ly practical book; philosophical in its ar
rangement, natural and lucid in itsanalaysis,
original in its design, adapted at the com
mencement to the comprehension of begin
ners and carrying the pupil by easy induct
ive steps through the most complicated oper
ations it seems invuluerable to criticism, and
leaves little or nothing to be accomplished
by future authors on this subject. The ex
amples are numerous and varied, embracing
alt cases likely to arise in business; and
thero are not less than fifty rages of ques
tions capable of Algebraic solutions. The
Chapters on Percentage, interest and Dis
count, are woiihy of special commendation.
In these the author has an entire original
plan; which enables the pupil to solve men
tally, with perfect ease, questious which,
without this drilling, few are able to manage
even on the slate.
In view ol these striking and excellent fea
tures, we warmly commend Prof. Stoddard's
work to all who are interested in the educa
tion of youth.

Public Schools.

Messrs. Sheldon, Lamport 4: Blakeroan: —
Gentlemen—l examined the copies of S'od
dard's Series of Arithmetics, with which you
kindly furnished me in July last, And was so
well pleased with the result of that examina
tion, that at the opening of the Fall Term of
the Institute I introduced the Intellectual
and the Practical, and ut the commence
ment of the Winter Teim, the Philosophical.
The result has far exceeded my expectations.
Tliey have triumphantly passed that most
searching of all tests for school books—the
class and the recitation room. Each book is
superior in :ts kind and for the purpose for
which it was designed: and taken together
they constitute ihe most perfect Series of
Arithmetics that 1 have ever seen. I can
honestly, as well as earnestly commend them
to the attention of teachers and others Inter
ested in the promotion of this important study.
Yours very truly,
DAVID BURBANK,

GENTLEMEN :
I am informed that it is your intention to
report to the Board withiu a short lime one or
more series or sets of School Readers as suit
able books ; to bo adopted and used in the
Public Schools of this city.
Having used in the Institution during tire
past year or two a part ol Webb's series
(No. 2, 4, 5,) with very satisfactory results;
it may not be considered by you that I am
taking too much liberty in expressing that
desire that you may find it consistent with
your views to recommend that series, and
that we may thereby be allowed the privi
lege of continuing their use in our school.

GENTLEMEN: *
I have carefully examined Webb's Normal
School Reader and take pleasure in bearing
testimony to their existence.
The selections are varied, interesting and
instructive and containing some of the purest
gems of thought and expressions to be found
ill the language.
To ihe student they afford the necessary
lacilities for becoming a good reader, at the
sama.lime they are all calculated to form a
correct taste to instil noble and elevalsd sen
timents, and to imparl a relish for those pleas
ures which arise from the contemplation of
the beautilal and good.
They are well adapted for Ten Books in
our Common Schools. I have heard several
very competent teachers speak iu high terifls
of the series.
I am gentlemen, Resp. yours,
DAVID LYMAN.

DEAR SIR :
As Chairman of tbe Committee on School
Books, I address you this note with relerence
to Webb's Series of Readers
I have examined said Readers witb con
siderable care, and am therefore prepared to
say, tbat i should be ittnoh gratified with
their introduction into our schools. At least
one or mora new series of readers ought in
my opinion to be immediately adopted for
our use by the Board of Education, and I be
lieve none would more generally please the
teachers of oar school, or tend to interest and
edify their pupils or lead to more satisfactory
results than the series under consideration.
Respectfully yours,

DEAR SIR :
Having learned that the Committee of
which you ire Chairman are about to recom
mend a now series of Readers (or the use of
our Schools allow me to express the hope
that you will give Webb'* Normal Series e
favorable consideration.
From what I know of these Readers, and
from tho testimony of other* in whom I have
the luilest confidence, I believe them to be
superior to arry of those new in use in our
Schools, and hope to see their claim ac
knowledged by a speedy and general adop
tion.

A MARVELLOUS REMEDY I
FOR A MARVELLOUS AGE.
HOLLOWAY^^^^^^^-
THE GRAND EXTERNAL REMEDY!
Y the a.d ot a microscope, we see minion
" of little openings on the surface of our
bodies. Through these this Ointment, when
rubbed oil the skin, is carried to any organ
or inward part. Diseases of the Kidneys, dis
orders of the Lifer, aflections of the heart,
Inflammation on the Lungs, Asthmas, coughs
and colds, are by its means effeotually cured.
Every housewife knows that salt passes Iree
ly through bone or meat of any thickness.
This healing Ointment far more readily pen
etrates through any bone or fleshy part of
the living body, curing ihe most dangerous
inward complaints, that cannot be reached
by other means.
Erysipelas, Salt Rheum and Scot butic
Humors.
No remedy has everdone so much for the
cure of disease of the Skin, whatever form
they may assume, as this Ointment. No case
of Salt Rheum, Scurvy, sore heads. Scrofhla
or Erysipelas, can long withstand its influ
ences. The inventor has traveled over many
parts of the globe, visiting the principle hos
pnals, dispensing this Ointment, giving ad
vice as to its application, and has thus been
the means of restoring couctless numbers of
health.
Sore Legs, Sore Rreasts, Wounds and
Ulcers.
Some of the most scientific surgeons now
rely solely on the use of this wonderful
Ointment, when having to cope with the
worst cases of sores, wounds, ulcers,glandu
lar swellings,and tumors. Prof. Holloway has
by command of the Allied Governments,dis-1
patched to the hospitals of the East, large ,
shipments of this Ointment, to he used under
the direction of the Medical Stafl, in the 1
worst cases of wounds. It will cure any ulcer, |
glandular swelling, stiffness or contraction ol \
the joints, even of 20 years' standing.
Piles and Fistulas.
These and other similar distressing com- J
plaints can be effectually cured if the Oint- !
mem be well rubbed in over the parts affect
ed, and by otherwise following the printed
directions around each part.
Both the Ointment and Pills should be ,
used in the following cases:
Bunions, Lumbago,
Burns, Mercurial Erup- i
Chapped Hands, lions, I
Chilblains, Piles,
Fistulas, Rheumatism,
Gout, Salt Rheum,
Skin Diseases, Sore Legs,
Sore Breasts, Swelled Glands,
Sore Heads, Stiff Joints,
Sore Throats, Sores of all kinds,
Sprains, Scalds,
Ulcers. Wounds of all
Venereal Sores, kinds.
