OPINIONS OF THE PRESS (continued).

"If aspirants to Government situations master the 'EXAMPLES' given by the author they need not be afraid of 'posers.' The works are well got up, and are miracles of cheapness."-Wrexham and Denbigh Weekly Advertiser.

"This is a new educational work, by this author, who, from his experience as a school inspector, precisely understands what is required. The book will be found especially valuable to teachers."-Nottingham Review.

"It (Part II) must be a useful book."-Athenæum.

"Mr. Davis's Manual of Arithmetical Examples' (Part II.) is well compiled, and cannot but be of great service to instructors. It contains upwards of 3,000 questions in the higher rules of arithmetic, and the more useful rules of mensuration."-Critic.

"This (Part II) is an excellent school book. It is cheap and comprehensive. We think that most teachers will agree with us, that the one defect of the works that have for ever excluded Trotter and Walkingham from all good schools is a paucity of examples. In arithmetic it is eminently true that practice makes perfect. Mr. Davis here provides a cheap and easy means of supplying this defect; as the title sets forth, his is a book of examples. Those teachers who largely use the black board will find this a great assistance. Besides the great number of the examples -141,000 in all-is to be noticed the excellent proportion assigned to the various rules. Of that most useful rule which amongst boys is said to 'drive one mad,' nearly 600 examples are furnished. The convenience of teachers is consulted likewise by the division of the work into two parts, of which the first includes the rules from numeration to proportion."Warrington Guardian.

"Even the most fastidious fault-finder would have some difficulty in raising an ordinary objection to this unpretending but eminently useful manual, 'The Memory Work of Arithmetic.""-Pupil Teacher.

"Mr. Davis, who is one of the British and Foreign School Society's Inspectors, gives in these volumes, four in number, an almost endless variety of examples for working out those rules and principles. Part L contains 138,000 new questions from numeration to compound proportion, and Part II. 3,000 questions in the higher rules of arithmetic-that is, from vulgar fractions to duodecimals and mensuration. The questions in commercial arithmetic are framed with great judgment and ingenuity. The work is brought out in an inexpensive form, and will be a very acceptable manual to schoolmasters and private teachers."-Staffordshire Advertiser. "The questions are of a very useful kind, such, in fact, as cannot fail to give to the learner a most extensive acquaintance with arithmetic. We would recommend Mr. Davis's works to the perusal of schoolmasters, and to all who have anything to do with the teaching of the young."— Whitehaven News.

"We have not seen in any arithmetic such a vast number of Examples as are crowded into this little work. It is sure to meet, as it deserves, a large sale."-Wakefield Journal.

"Its chief merit, in our opinion, is the novelty and practical nature of the questions, and the tact with which they rise gradually in difficulty of operation."-Bradford Observer.

The Author is in possession of numerous letters from her Majesty's Inspectors of Schools, and from gentlemen conducting many leading educational institutions, both public and private, and their testimony in favour of the books is unanimous, unqualified, and emphatic.
