The Editors of the New York Telegraph, speaking of Smiley's Arithmetic, observe that they have within a few days attentively examined the above Arithmetic, and say, "We do not hesitate to pronounce it an improvement upon every work of the kind previously before the public; and as such, recommend its adoption in all our Schools and Academies." A KEY to the above Arithmetic, in which all the Examples necessary for a Learner are wrought at large, and also Solutions given of all the various Rules. Designed principally to facilitate the labour of Teachers, and assist such as have not the opportunity of a tutor's aid. By T. T. Smiley, author of the New Federal Calculator, &c. &c. TORREY'S SPELLING BOOK, or First Book for Children. I have examined Mr. Jesse Torrey's "Familiar Spelling Book." I think it a great improvement in the primitive, and not least important branches of education, and shall introduce it into the seminaries under my care, as one superior to any which has yet appeared.

By Jesse Torrey, Jr. To secure the perpetuation of our republican form of government to future generations, let Divines and Philosophers, Statesmen and Patriots, unite their endeavours to renovate the age, by impressing the minds of the people with the importance of educating their _little boys and girls_. S. ADAMS. _Report of the Committee of the Philadelphia Academy of Teachers: adopted Nov. 6, 1824._ The Committee, to whom was referred Mr. Jesse Torrey's "Pleasing Companion for Little Girls and Boys," beg leave to report, That they have perused the "Pleasing Companion," and have much pleasure in pronouncing as their opinion, that it is a compilation much better calculated for the exercise and improvement of small children in the art of reading, and especially in the more rare art of understanding what they read, than the books in general use. All which is respectfully submitted. I. IRVINE HITCHCOCK, PARDON DAVIS, CHARLES MEAD, _Committee_. A true copy from the minutes of the Academy. C. B.
