Dear Sir--I have looked over your "_Easy Introduction to the
     Study of Geography_," together with your "_Improved Atlas_." I
     have no hesitation in declaring, that I consider them works of
     peculiar merit. They do honour to your industry, research, and
     talent, and I am satisfied, will facilitate the improvement of
     the student in geographical science.

     With sentiments of sincere consideration, I am yours truly,

                    WM. STAUGHTON, D. D.
                    _President of Columbia College, District of Columbia._

     MR. THOMAS SMILEY.
     _Philadelphia, Sept. 1, 1823._

     _Extract from the Minutes of the Philadelphia Academy of
     Teachers._

                                        _November 1, 1823._

     Resolved unanimously, That the Academy of Teachers highly
     approve the superior merits of Mr. Smiley's "_Easy Introduction
     to the Study of Geography_," and the accompanying Atlas, and
     cordially recommend them to the patronage of the public.

THE NEW FEDERAL CALCULATOR, or SCHOLAR'S ASSISTANT. Containing the most
concise and accurate Rules for performing the operations in common
Arithmetic; together with numerous Examples under each of the Rules,
varied so as to make them conformable to almost every kind of business.
For the Use of Schools and Counting Houses.

     By Thomas T. Smiley, Teacher: author of An Easy Introduction
     to the Study of Geography. Also, of Sacred Geography for the
     Use of Schools.

     Among the numerous recommendations received to the work, are
     the following:

     MR. JOHN GRIGG.                        _Phila. March 8, 1825._

     SIR--I have examined with as much care as my time would admit,
     "The New Federal Calculator," by Thomas T. Smiley. It appears
     to me to be a treatise on Arithmetic of considerable merit.
     There are parts in Mr. Smiley's work which are very valuable;
     the rules given by him in Barter, Loss and Gain, and Exchange,
     are a great desideratum in a new system or treatise on
     Arithmetic, and renders his book superior to any on the subject
     now in use; and when it is considered that the calculations in
     the work are made in Federal Money, the only currency now known
     in the United States, and that appropriate questions follow the
     different rules, by which the learner can be exercised as to
     his understanding of each part as he progresses; I hesitate not
     to say, that, in my opinion, it is eminently calculated to
     promote instruction in the science on which it treats. Mr.
     Smiley deserves the thanks of the public and the encouragement
     of teachers, for his attempt to simplify and improve the method
     of teaching Arithmetic. I am yours respectfully,
