RECOMMENDATIONS.

The following have been selected from the recommendations bestowed upon this work.

Messrs. Guilfords,-I have examined hastily the "Juvenile Arithmetick," which you sent me, and am of opinion that it possesses some advantages over those generally in use: I particularly refer to the part intended to cultivate in the learner, the habit of going through the solutions mentally. Very respectfully yours, JOHN E. ANNAN, Professor of Mathematicks and Natural Philosophy in the Miami University.

Oxford, June 5, 1827.

From a hasty review of Dr. Ruter's Artihmetick, I am inclined to think well of it. The attempt to introduce a rational method of instruction in any department of education, is laudible and especially in common schools. This I think the Juvenile Arithmetick is well calculated to do, in that branch of study to which it belongs. The plan of Pestalozzi is excellent, and Dr. Ruter has perhaps imitated it more successfully (by comprizing more in less space) than Mr. Colburn, between whose Arithmetick and this there is however a consid¡erable resemblance. Your's &c. WM. H. M'GUFFY,

Oxford, June 28, 1827.

Professor of Languages, &c., in the Miami University.

We have examined your 'Juvenile Arithmetick,' and feel a pleasure in recommending it to the schools of our country. We think the general arrangement good, and have no hesitation in saying, that the questions prefixed and appended to the rules. give it superior advantages. Respectfully yours, JOSEPH S. TOMLINSON, JOHN P. DURBIN, Professors in Augusta College.

March 12, 1828.

The Juvenile Arithmetick, from the cursory examination which I have given it, appears to be a manuel of value for the introduction of youth into the science of numbers. In furnishing a second edition, wish you success. ELIJAH SLACK.

I concur most cheerfully in the above opinion.
Cincinnati, April 2, 1828.

S. JOHNSON.

I have used thy compilation of Arithmetick during the last year; and do not hesitate in recommending it to the publick. The questions preceeding the rules, the particular attention to fractions, and the sketch of mensuration give it a decided preference to any other here in use. JOHN L. TALBERT.

Cincinnati, Fourth mo. 5, 1828. Having examined the above Arithmetick, I cheerfully concur in the foregoing opinion of its merits. ARNOLD TRUESDELL.
