A whole vnlume of Ihe most exalted rec ommendations of this series of Arithmetics, from the best Educators in all sections of the country, who hsve used them, can be shown. The 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 auihor has taken a de cided step in advance ol those who have preceded htm ; and his labors are likely to do moch toward popularizing a study, the importance of which as a mental discipline can hardly be over estimated. The works formerly in use were dificient of systematic arrangement, were neither gradual enough in their transitions, nor sufficiently comprehen sive and varied as regards their examples.— Stoddard's on the oilier hand, is an eminent ly practical book ; philosophical in its ar rangement, natural and lucid in its analaysis, 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, ant! loaves little or nothing to be accomplished by future authors on this subject. The ex amples are numerous and varied, embracing all cases likely to arise in business; and there are not less than fifty fages ol ques tions capable of Algebraic solutions. The Chaptets on Percentage, interest and Dis count, are wotthy of special comm'endation. In these the author has an entire original plen ; 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, wo warmly commend Prof. Stoddard's work to all who are interested in the educa tion of youth. Signed by ten principals of the Brooklyn Public Schools. Munro Collegiate Institute, Elbridge, Onondaga Co., N. Y., Jan. 21. '55. Messrs. Sheldon, Lamport & Blakeman:— Gentlemen—l examined Ihe copies of Stod 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 Ihe Fall Term of the Institute I introduced the Intellectual and ihe Practical, and al the commence ment of the Winter Tetm, the Philosophical. The result has far exceeded my expectations. They 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 I have ever seen. I can honestly, as well as earnestly commend them to the attention of teachers and others inter ested in Ihe promotion of this important study. Yours very truly, DAVID BURBANK, Principal.

Having used in the Institution during the past year or two a part ot Webb's series (No. 2, 4, 5,) with very satisfactory results; it may not be considered Iv you that I am taking too much liberty in expressing that desire that you may find it consistent with your views to recommeud that series, and that we may thereby be allowed the privi lege of continuing their use in our school. Most respectfully yours, H. H. WOOUWORTH, Principal. Brooklyn, Oct. 10, 1855. To the Committee on Text Books of the Board of Education. GENTLEMEN: 1 have carefully examined Webb's Normal School Reader and lake pleasure in bearing testimony to their existence. The selections are varied, interesting and instructive and containing some of the purest gems uf thought and expressions to be found ill the language. To the student they afford the necessary laoilities for becoming a good reader, at the same time they are all calculated to lorm a correct taste to instil noble and elevatsd sen timents, and to imparl a relish (or those pleas ures which arise from the contemplation of the heaulilal and good. They are well adapted for Text Books in our Common Schools. 1 have heard several very competent teachers speak iu high terms i of the series. 1 am gentlemen, Reap, yours, DAVJD LYMAN. Brooklyn, Oct. 5, 1855. To the Committee on Text Books uf the Board ot Education. DESR SIR : As Chairman of the Committee on School Books, I address you this note with relerence to Webb's Series of Readers I have examined said Readers with con siderable care, and am therefore prepared to say, that I should be much gratified with their introduction into our schoolr. At least one or more new series of readers ought in my opinion to be immediately adopied for our use by the Board of Education, and I be lieve none would more generally please the j teachers of our school, or tend to interest and edify their pupils or lead to more satisfactory results than the series under consideration. Respectfully yours, A B. CLARK, Principal Pub. School No. 3. To the Committee on Text Books of the Board of Education. DEAR Srx: Having learned that the Committee of which yon are Chairman are about to recom mend a new series of Resdefs for the o' of our Schools allow me to express the hope that you will give Webb'a Normal Series a favorable consideration. From what I know of these Readers, and from tho testimony of others in whom I have the Inllest confidence, I believe them to be superior to any of those now in use in our Schools, and hope to see their claim ac knowledged by a speedy and general adop tion.
