THE WELL-KNOWN AND POPULAR NATIONAL SERIES OF STANDARD SCHOOL COLLEGE TEXT-BOOKS.
The series of school books known'and popularly used in every section of the United States, and every class of citizens, representing all shades of political opinion and religious belief.
The series is complete, jcovering every variety and grade of science and litera- ture, from the Primer which guides the lisping tongue of the infant, to the. learned "West Point Course"
`The series is uniformly excellent. Each vo ume, among so many, maintains its own standard of merit, and assists, in its place, to round the perfect whole!
It is the pride of the publishers that their imprint jappears in not a single poor or even indifferent text book. Its appearance, therefo e, upon a title page is la sort of guarantee which the educational public have learned to respect.
0 For these reasons, this series has been justly denominated the
National Series of Standard School Books.
1.
A title which is now universally conceded in its broadest squse, and which can- not, with equal propriety, be applied to any rival series whatsoever.
TheNational series comprises more than three hundred public ations, represent- ing text-books adapted to every grade of common schools find college classes. Specimen pages sent free of cost to any address. Descriptive Catalogue free. Address, A. S. BARNES & CO ..
