From HON. ANSON SMYTH, late State Supt. of Public Instruction,

OHIO.

I know of no other Readers which I could more earnestly indorse than McGUFFEY'S NEW ECLECTIC SERIES. RAY'S ARITHMETICS need no praise. They are their own commendation. I esteem PINNEO's GRAMMARS as among the best text-books extant for guiding the learner to a knowledge of the correct use of our language. ANSON SMYTH. •

From HoN. M. J. FLETCHER, late State Supt. of Pub. Inst.,

INDIANA.

The public sentiment, as expressed in Indiana by the almost universal use of the ECLECTIC EDUCATIONAL SERIES, was sufficient of itself to induce the STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION to recommend them. In addition to this, by careful examination, I am well satisfied that their true intrinsic and comparative merit entitles them to such recommendation. MILES J. FLETCHER.

From HON. NEWTON BATEMAN, late State Supt. of Pub. Inst.,

ILLINOIS.

I believe no series of books ever obtained so many voices of approval from Teachers as MCGUFFEY'S ECLECTIC READERS. No other has been so popular throughout the West, we well know. RAY'S ARITHMETICS have deservedly shared in the popularity of the Eclectic Series. The ALGEBRAS are clear, full, and comprehensive. NEWTON BATEMAN.

From HON. T. H. BENTON, JR., late State Supt. of Pub. Inst.,

IOWA.

I have carefully examined the New Editions of McGUFFEY'S ECLECTIC READERS, PINNEO'S GRAMMARS, and RAY'S SERIES OF ARITHMETICS and ALGEBRAS, and cordially approve them as textbooks for our schools. Taking the whole series together-Readers, Grammars, Arithmetics, and Algebras I do not believe a similar collection has yet been published which is better adapted to our wants. THOMAS H. BENTON, JR.

From HoN. B. F. CRARY, late State Supt. of Pub. Inst.,

MINNESOTA.

I have examined the ECLECTIC EDUCATIONAL SERIES of School Books, and have no hesitation in saying they are Superior to any similar text-books that have come under my observation. I rejoice that a Western House has been able to meet the increasing wants of the West in this great field. B. F. CRARY.
