THE AMERICAN EDUCATIONAL CATALOGUE, For 1879 [Tenth Year]. COMPILED BY F. LEYPOLDT. The Educational Catalogue has been found so valuable to the Trade, not only as a finding-list, but for circulation among educational customers, for the purpose of soliciting orders, and saving at the same time much troublesome correspondence, that its continuance is recognized as a necessity. It is proposed to make the list this year on what is known as "the dictionary plan," entering each series or book in the general alphabet under the author's or editor's name, with cross-references from class and subject headings, so that the advantages of both a finding-list for the trade and a class catalogue for the use of schools are combined. It is proposed to solve the question of prices by giving a line to each book, and entering both the trade-list and mailing or retail price, when made, in parallel columns. Where only a wholesale price is made, it is proposed to add a reasonable percentage (20 per cent) to meet the desire of retail dealers who circulate imprint editions from which the trade-list column will be dropped. In jobbers' imprint editions (not less than 500 copies) the two columns will be retained, but with publisher's prices only given. The Educational Catalogue in its new shape, will, we believe, very thoroughly serve the purposes of those dealers who wish to keep as much of the educational trade as possible in their own hands, and work up more, by sending such a list out to schools and teachers. This Catalogue is acknowledged the most accurate and reliable in the market, and, especially in its new shape, will be found by far the most convenient and satisfactory, In making up special orders for the Educational Catalogue, Booksellers should bear in mind that it possesses not only temporary value, but will serve its purpose during the whole year. As numerous orders for editions are received every summer, after the issue of the Educational Catalogue, we again call attention to the necessity of being in possession of orders at once. CASH TERMS FOR EDITIONS: With sole imprint of ordering firm, and stitched, per 100 copies, $5; per 1000 copies, $40. There is no extra charge for printing name, business card, etc., on the imprint page; the last page is left blank at the disposal of the dealer, but any copy for that, advertising special lines or general business, will be set up and printed thereon for $5 the page, or $1 if plate is sent. Copy for imprint and shipping directions should accompany the order. THE PUBLISHERS' WEEKLY, Box 4295, New York. Notable Educational Works Recently Issued BY CASSELL, PETTER & GALPIN, 596 Broadway, New York. A First Sketch of English Literature. By HENRY MORLEY, Professor of English Literature at University College, and Examiner in English Language, Literature, and History to the University of London. ADAPTED FOR USE IN COLLEGES AND HIGH SCHOOLS. PRICE REDUCED. 912 pages, Crown 8vo, Cloth, $2. Professor Morley's "English Literature" is primarily designed for the use of students in High Schools and Colleges, as an easy introduction to a highly important department of knowl edge; at the same time its philosophical method renders it a valuable work of reference for the general reader. The author calls it a first sketch; nevertheless it is, considering its brevity, a singularly full and satisfactory history. In Prof. Morley's work the biographical, bibliographical, and critical notes are given with all the fullness attainable in so compendious a volume. Indeed if any student is desirous only of such information as this, he will find it here as abundantly as in any other manual of the same class. But if he wishes to study the history of English Literature in so far as it reflects the life, political, social, moral, and intellectual, of the English people, he will nowhere find it set forth so clearly or so philosophically as in this work.

These text-books of the greatest living geographer have revolutionized the methods of teaching, and the shape of the school-books, of geography in this country. But GUYOT's easily stand first and best, leaving all imitators of his original methods far behind.

And in respect to mechanical make-up-in paper, print and binding-they are unexcelled. Guyot's Wall Maps. These Maps have been made from the abundant materials collected in a long period devoted to the most careful and successful study of Geography and kindred sciences. In point of accuracy they are as perfect as can be made, being based upon the latest scientific and official information. They are all constructed on the new and correct plan of presenting the facts of Physical Geography, the peculiarities of surface, as the basis of Political, Civil, and Commercial Geography. The prices of the Maps have lately been reduced. Special discounts will be made for lots, or for first supplies, where this author's geographies are used or their introduction contemplated.
