A NEW BOOK

ADDED TO

The Progressive Series of Text-Books,

By SALEM TOWN, LL. D., and NELSON M. HOLBROOK, A. M.

This popular series of School Books, comprising

THE PROGRESSIVE PRIMER,

THE PROGRESSIVE FIRST READER,

THE PROGRESSIVE SECOND READER,

THE PROGRESSIVE INTERMEDIATE READER,

THE PROGRESSIVE THIRD READER,

THE PROGRESSIVE FOURTH READER,

THE PROGRESSIVE FIFTH READER,
THE PROGRESSIVE SPEAKER,

THE PROGRESSIVE SPELLER AND DEFINER,

will soon be issued from newly electrotyped plates, and with many NEW and more beautiful illustrations.

THE FOURTH AND FIFTH READERS

will be enlarged by additional pages of NEW and peculiarly appropriate reading exercises of every variety of style.

THE PROGRESSIVE INTERMEDIATE READER

is an entirely new number added to the series, and is designed to be used as a sequel to the Second Reader, thereby furnishing additional reading matter for the Primary and Intermediate classes in graded schools. It is prepared on the same general plan of the other numbers of the series, with such improvements as experience has suggested, a plan and system ORIGINAL with the authors, and will be issued in season to meet the wants of winter schools.

THE PROGRESSIVE SPELLER AND DEFINER,

a book which has reached an unprecedented sale throughout New England, is not only the best but the cheapest speller before the public.

The unexampled success of this series fully settles the question as to the practical character of its original plan and system; and the "improvements" made in the revisions of other series, or in the issue of new ones, since the publication of Town and Holbrook's Progressive series, consist, mainly, in authors abandoning their own exploded systems, and making as close imitations of the Progressive Series, both in plan and general mechanical appearance, as their abilities and pecuniary safety permit, and this, too, after so long denouncing the plan as impractical, and calculated to embarrass and injure the learner, rather than to facilitate his progress.

These facts being known, the genuine and original series, now having a more liberal patronage in New England than all the counterfeits combined, will, we trust, still hold its pre-eminence in the minds of a discriminating public; inasmuch as the labored efforts of all its imitators have failed to introduce into their books a single important principle, which is not more practically presented in the "Progressive Series ;" while it contains, in addition, many valuable features nowhere else to be found.

SMITH'S PROGRESSIVE PRIMARY GEOGRAPHY.

BY ROSWELL C. SMITH, A. M.,

will be issued during the month of November. This beautiful Primary work presents the subject of geography in a few form, and is pronounced, by all who have examined the proof-sheets, as the most simple, complete, and practical book the author has compiled.

THE PROGRESSIVE SCHOOL GEOGRAPHY,

by the same author, will follow the Primary; and these two books will complete the series on this subject.

The Tenth Number of the ILLUSTRATED ANNUAL REGISTER OP RURAL AFFAIRS is now in press, and will be issued without farther delay.

Its contents embrace, as usual, a large variety-including Agriculture and Rural Economy at large, Horticulture, The Dairy, Domestic Economy, etc.

It is illustrated by nearly ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY ENGRAV INGS, of which the larger part are from drawings especially prepared for the present Number.

Beside the usual Calendar pages, presenting calculations for the three different parallels of the New England, the Middle, and the Border States, the following synopsis will partially show the chief subjects treated and the ground covered in the "AN

found well worth the price of the Number to every careful reader. In future issues, the various subjects of Gardening, Fruit Raising, &c., will probably be treated in a similar way. The subject of Cheese Making and the CHEESE FACTORIES is now one of especial interest. The article referring to it is the result of a personal examination of the leading Factories, and presents a full and concise statement of all the details of manufacture, as well as the organization of the factories. It is the most complete account of them yet before the public.

The article on the collection and preservation of Entomological specimens will be of great interest to students in this important branch of Science.

The ANNUAL REGISTER OF RURAL AFFAIRS is again offered for cash at the following prices:
