.--_Boston Post._

Written by one who has made the tour through which he carries his young
hero, and who, from long experience, knows how to please and instruct
his young readers, these volumes possess just the qualities to attract
those for whom they are intended.--_Norfolk Co. Journal._

The author has admirably combined the pleasing with the instructive, so
that while the youthful reader is charmed by the narrative, he also
gains valuable information with regard to those far-off places famed in
story and song.--_Boston Olive Branch._

A correspondent of the New York _National Magazine_ says;--"The volumes
are beautifully illustrated, and written in the charming and instructive
style of the author. We saw one of our New England governors, lately
returned from a European tour, quite absorbed in the volume upon Paris,
while travelling in a railway car, a short time since."

NOTICES OF A NEW WORK ON PARLIAMENTARY RULES,

By LUTHER S. CUSHING,

TWELVE YEARS CLERK OF THE MASSACHUSETTS HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.

_From S. H. Walley, late Speaker of the Massachusetts House of
Representatives._

I have taken great pleasure in examining the pages of this work, and do
not hesitate to express most fully my approbation of its plan and
execution.

On two or three questions of minor importance, I might come to different
conclusions from the author;--but, inasmuch as he has devoted much time
to a careful research into the subject of parliamentary rules and
practice, I am free to admit, that I should feel great distrust in any
opinions which I have held, even on these questions, where they differ
from those expressed by Judge Cushing, without very careful
reexamination and study.

This Manual is much needed. There is no work, in this country, which is
adapted near as well, in my judgment, to assist those who are called
upon to preside in public assemblies, to discharge their duties
acceptably and profitably to the community.

I sincerely hope and believe that this publication will receive the
countenance and approbation to which it seems to me so justly entitled.
