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.

Signed,
