WEBSTER'S
INTERNATIONAL
DICTIONARY

A GRAND INVESTMENT for the Family, the School, or the Library. Revision has been in progress for over 10 Years. More than 100 editorial laborers employed. $300,000 expended before first copy was printed. Critical examination invited. Get the Best. Sold by all Booksellers. Illustrated pamphlet free. G. & C. MERRIAM & CO., Publishers, Springfield, Mass., U. S. A. Caution!-There have recently been issued several cheap reprints of the 1847 edition of Webster's Unabridged Dictionary, an edition long since superannuated. These books are given various names,-"Webster's Unabridged," "The Great Webster's Dictionary," "Webster's Big Dictionary," "Webster's Encyclopedic Dictiona ry," etc., etc.

Many announcements concerning them are very misleading, as the body of each, from A to Z, is 44 years old, and printed from cheap plates made by photographing the old pages.

An interesting manual which not only does not require a gymnasium, but even dispenses with Indian clubs, wands and dumb bells. The original treatise has had a wide circolation in Germany. It suggests the principles of the Delsarte System.-Atlautic Monthly, February, 1891.

In Germany, 140,000 copies of this book have been sold, and American teachers would do well to make themselves familiar with a system of bodily exercise that is pronounced by competent authorities the best treatise on the subject now extant.-Journal of Pedagogy, October, 1890.

THREE NEW BOOKS.

The publication of Advanced Lessons in English Grammar (cloth, 12mo, 327 pages; price,

60 cents; just issued) marks the completion of "MAXWELL'S ENGLISH COURSE."

It is the third book of that series. Designed for use in the last two years of the grammar, or as a full high school course, it embraces all the theory and practice necessary for these grades. It is clear, full, judicious, sufficiently conservative in its treatment of old authorities, and yet ready to adopt new definitions and new forms when the innovation is a real improvement.

APPLETONS' SCHOOL PHYSICS is an entirely new book, by a corps of distinguished scientists and teachers. Cloth, 12mo, 544 pages. Price, $1.20. Just out.

The contributors to the different sections into which the subject is divided are Prof. SILAS W. HOLMAN, Massachusetts Institute of Technology; Prof. FRANCIS E. NIPHER, Washington University, St. Louis, Mo.; Prof. ALFRED M. MAYER, Stevens Institute of Technology, Hoboken, N. J.; and Prof. FRANCIS B. CROCKER, Columbia College School of Mines. The work is ably edited by Prof. JOHN D. QUACKENBOS, Columbia College.

The names of these scientists and educators are a guarantee of the quality and reliability of the work. Designed for pupils of fourteen years and upwards, it is singularly simple, practical, and at the same time authoritative, and should be carefully examined by all who are looking for an accurate, comprehensive, judiciously condensed, entertaining text-book in Natural Philosophy.

HARPER & TOLMAN'S CÆSAR.

By WILLIAM R. HARPER, and HERBERT

C. TOLMAN, Yale. (Now ready.) 12mo, cloth; handsomely illustrated; 502 pp.;
Price, $1.20.

The justification for this new text-book of Cæsar, will be found in the many valuable features of the work which distinguish it from its predecessors.

Specimen copies of these books will be mailed on receipt of price.
Correspondence cordially invited.
