This popular series of books was compiled by _Mr. William D. Swan_,
the well-known Principal of the Mayhew School, Boston. From the
very general and rapid introduction into schools they have obtained
throughout the principal cities and towns of the United States, it
is believed that they are better adapted to the wants of schools
than any others.
