After presenting this view of obligation, the author takes up the questions of Fractical Ethics, Government and Personal Rights and Duties, and treats them in their relation to Benevolence, aiming at a solution of the problems of right and wrong upon this simple principle.

A very valuable book and fully illustrated. compiled with the greatest care by GEO. W. COLTON, and represent the most remarkable and interesting features of Physical Geography clearly to the eye.

The plan of Colton's Geography is the best I have ever seen. It meets the exact wants of our Grammar Schools. The Review is unsurpassed in its tendency to make thorough and reliable scholars. I have learned more Geography that is practical and available during the short time we have used this work, than in all my life before, including ten years teaching by Mitchell's plan.-A. B. HEYWOOD, Prin. Franklin Gram. School, Lowell, Mass.

So well satisfied have I been with these Geographies that I adopted them, and have procured their introduction into most of the schools in this county. JAMES W. THOMPSON, A.M., Prin. of Centreville Academy, Maryland.
