NEW WORK ON PARSING. BY THOMAS DARNELL.

PARSING

ARSING SIMPLIFIED: An Introduction and Companion to all Grammars; consisting of Short and Easy Rules (with Parsing Lessons to each) whereby young Students may in a short time be gradually led through a knowledge of the several Elementary Parts of Speech to a thorough comprehension of the grammatical construction of the most complex sentences of our ordinary Authors either in Frose or Poetry. By THOMAS DARNELL. Second Edition. Price Is., cloth.

The rules are intelligible at a glance, and so short and simple that they may be easily committed to memory. Sound in principle, singularly felicitous in example and illustration; and the boy that will not learn to parse on Mr. Darnell's plan is not likely to do so on any other."-Morning Post.

"The feature which deserves special praise in this work is the number and variety of the exercises. A teacher will find the simplicity and aptness of the sentences in the first lessons of grammar."-The Muscum.

NEW EDITION OF BUTLER'S GEOGRAPHY.

A NEW INTRODUCTION TO GEOGRAPHY:

IN A SERIES OF LESSONS FOR YOUTH.

With an Appendix, containing Problems on the Globes, and Questions as
Exercises for Each Lesson.

BY JOHN OLDING BUTLER.

NINETEENTH EDITION, THOROUGHLY REVISED, PRICE 2s. 6d. CLOTH.

The present edition of "Butler's Introduction to Geography" has undergone thorough revision at the hands of an eminent Geographer. Without in any way altering its treatment of the subject-attested as the value of that treatment is by a lengthened course of usage in schools, and by the approval of experienced teachers-the Editor has sought not merely to correct inaccuracies, which from various causes had crept into the text, but t engraft on it such additional information as lapse of time and altered political circumstances, as well as the continuous extension of geographical research, have rendered necessary. In the case of a subject so eminently progressive as GEOGRAPHY, such revision, at frequent intervals, is especially demanded. The altered political relations of Italy, Austria, Denmark, Germany, and other States of Europe, not less than the information what recent explorations have furnished respecting the Nile and other problems of African Geography, with the respective limits of the British Colonies in Australia and elsewhere, may be referred to as illustrations of this

truth.

Considerations such as the above have guided the present Editor in the performance of his task; and, in the assurance that no effort has been spared to render this edition of "Butler's Introduction to Geography as complete as possible, the Publishers hope for a continuance in its behalf of the favour which it has hitherto enjoyed as a popular class book.

BEG TO ANNOUNCE THAT THEY HAVE IN PREPARATION

A Sunday Library for Household Reading.

To be published in crown 8vo., in Monthly Parts and in Quarterly Volumes, with Illustrations by Eminent Artists.

The projectors of the SUNDAY LIBRARY feel that there is a want of books of a kind that will be welcome in many Households for reading on Sundays, and will be in accordance with earnest convictions as to the nature of the "Sabbath day."

Sunday is the day of rest as well as the day of worship, and this rest should consist not only in the cessation of labour, but in the repose which the spirit finds in the contemplation of all things that are good. We should be strengthened for the work of the week by the services of the Sabbath, and also by religious contemplation, in which on that day, if on no other, we ought to find the deep and absorbing interest that attends the employment of our highest faculties.

Sunday should contain the theory, the collective view, of our work-day lives; and these work-days should be the Sunday in action. Our Sunday Books, therefore, ought to do more than afford abstract subjects of Meditation; they should exercise a living power by bringing us into direct contact with all that is true and noble in human nature and human life, and by showing us the life of Christ as the central truth of humanity.

For Sunday reading, therefore, we need not only history, but history in its relation to Christianity; not only biography, but the lives of men who have consciously promoted the Christian religion-Christian heroes in art, in science, in divinity, and in social action. The history of Christianity, permanent and progressive, is also the history of civilization, and from the growth of the latter we may be strengthened in the faith that the former will | ultimately prevail throughout the whole world.

Books of this kind must be powerful in the promotion of all good,-social, political, and personal. Forming part of a continuous work, they will be free from the defects that arise from want of sequence, and so will not foster the habit of desultory reading.

Arrangements have been made for the early publication of the following Volumes :
