lence is claimed for this book, on account of the natural
and progressive order of the lessons,--of the conciseness and
truthfulnes of the descriptive matter,--of the number, correctness, and
uniform excellence of the Maps,--from the fact that the book is
faithfully revised as often as political changes in our own or other
countries require it,--that the pronunciations of the difficult
geographical names are given,--and finally, on account of the superior
mechanical execution of the work.

As a specimen of numerous recommendations the publishers have received,
they submit the following:

_Copy of a petition of the Public School Teachers of the City of Troy,
New York, addressed to the Board of Education of said city._

GENTLEMEN,--Having examined Mitchell's Intermediate and Primary
Geographies, and faithfully compared them with Smith's, in regard to
accuracy of definitions, reliability of topography, and faithfulness of
the descriptive part, we, the undersigned, teachers, are respectively of
opinion that the interests of your public schools require that the
former geographies be substituted, to be used in our schools in the room
of the latter, and we respectfully request that this change may be made.
