IN A SERIES; ADAPTED TO THE PROGRESSIVELY DEVELOPING CAPACITIES OF
YOUTH.
Mitchell's School Series has been wholly or partly introduced into the
Public and Private Schools of the principal Cities and Towns of the
United States.
Mitchell's Primary Geography.
An easy Introduction to the Study of Geography; designed for the
Instruction of Children in Schools and Families; Illustrated by 120
Engravings and 14 coloured Maps. By _S. Augustus Mitchell_.
Price, 38 cents.
This work has been introduced into the Public Schools of Boston,
New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, New Orleans, St. Louis,
Louisville, Cincinnati, Pittsburg, and many other cities and towns
in the United States, and is in general use in the Private Schools
throughout the whole country.
Mitchell's Intermediate or Secondary Geography.
In this work, the maps and the entire reading matter are printed
together, and form one convenient quarto volume.
The whole is so arranged, that the maps, the description of each
country, and the questions dependent on them, are placed generally
on the same page, or on pages directly opposite, enabling pupils to
refer readily from one to the other, rendering the use of two
separate books unnecessary, and affording the required amount of
instruction in a more portable and convenient form.
This publication corresponds, in style of embellishment, colouring,
arrangement of lessons, and general scope of composition, to the
other Geographical Works of Mr. Mitchell, so as to form a
connecting link in the Series in progress, of which the Primary
Geography, the School Geography and Atlas, and the Ancient
Geography and Atlas, already published, form a part. Price, 75
cents.
Mitchell's School Geography.
A System of Modern Geography; comprising a Description of the
present State of the World, and its five great Divisions.
Embellished with numerous Engravings, and illustrated by an Atlas
of 28 Maps, drawn and engraved for the work. Second revised
edition. By _S. Augustus Mitchell_. Price, $1 12-1/2.
_From the Teachers of Public Schools in the City of New York._
We have examined "Mitchell's School Geography," and the Atlas that
accompanies it, with considerable care, and must give it the
preference to any work of the kind with which we are acquainted.
Its merits are numerous,--the definitions are remarkably plain and
concise,--the exercises are copious and important, and the
descriptive department is luminous and correct. The divisions of
the American Continent are represented and described as they really
exist at the present time, and the gross mis-statements generally
found in school Geographies are corrected. The typographical
execution is uncommonly neat and distinct. Indeed the Atlas is a
model of the kind, and actually teems with information. The
Geography is embellished with some hundreds of neat and
well-executed engravings, which illustrate and greatly enhance the
value of the work.
