Head Master of the Royal Naval Lower School, Greenwich Hospital.

Second Edition, corrected and improved, price 3s. 6d.

ELECT SPECIMENS of ENGLISH POETRY, for the Use of Schools

and Country. 3. Of Work and Progress.

4. Relating to the Sea and the Sailor. 5. On the Love of Nature. 6. Of the Imagination and Fancy. 7. Religious and Moral.

The pieces are taken chiefly from the best modern poets; every piece is prefaced by a note-generally selected from the works of standard writers-explanatory of the subject of the poem, and followed by notes and questions, historical, grammatical, philological, and critical, calculated to stimulate the thought and guide the taste of the pupil.

"This work is worthy of Mr. Hughes's high reputation as a scholar and public teacher."-LITERARY GAZETTE. "This is a very valuable addition to the class of books to which it belongs. But it will be a great mistake to suppose that it is only a work for the young: it is a work for all. The first men and the first scholars of the realm may wile away most pleasantly and profitably many a leisure hour; while the literary apparatus interspersed through the volume, and the Appendix, will be greatly helpful to even the well-informed in general history. It is a capital book."-BRITISH BANNER.

It is,

"The pieces in this little volume are selected with great care and judgment from the best modern poets. decidedly, one of the most agreeable selections of extracts we have met with amongst the many which have been published for the use of schools from Scott down to its own date."-GLOBE.

"We can say that we have not met with a better book for the use of pupils in schools, or for private reading." MORNING ADVERTISER.

"This volume has several features. It contains pieces rather than passages; for, although some of the selections are not entire poems, they are complete subjects. The selections are judiciously made, principally from modern writers."-SPECTATOR.

"The selections are of a quality to foster and promote sound taste, and comprise a very large number-perhaps the majority of the shortest poems that have obtained a permanent standing in our literature."

WEEKLY CHRONICLE. "There is a novelty of design in this book. It is very well adapted for reading in schools."-CRITIC.

"For schools and private reading the volume will be found most acceptable."-CHURCH AND STATE GAZETTE, "Mr. Hughes deserves high praise for the care with

"It is a selection made upon a principle, and by a really able man."-GUARDIAN.

"The editor of this compendious little work for schools has based it upon the intellectual system as regards education, in contradistinction to the system of learning by rote. Most of the poems are of the first order, and well known in the English tongue; and the book, therefore, cannot fail, as a whole, to be popular in schools and among the class of readers for whom it is more especially intended." OBSERVER.

"This is a very pretty school book, well selected, well compiled, and admirably fitted for general use. We can have no doubt, therefore, of its success."

GLASGOW Courier. "This is one of the most valuable educational books which has lately come under our notice. Its object is the cultivation of the imaginative as well as the intellectual powers, to nourish the memory, to encourage the imagination, and to discipline the judgment."

NORTH WALES CHRONICLE. "We have seen many poetical selections and extracts for the use of schools, but few equal, and none superior, to this." EDINBURGH WITNESS.

"The pieces are extracted from our best poets, and each is introduced by a prose quotation, appropriately chosen from some standard writer. They will serve the double parpose of either being committed to memory, or used as reading lessons."-EDINBURGH ADVERTISER.

"This is another of those useful manuals for which the cause of education owes so much to Mr. Hughes. It is intended to meet the difficulty of teaching geography intellectually to the young-a difficulty which Mr. Hughes considers to reside less in the subject than in the manner of treating it ;-and contains the substance of lessons which in actual experience have been found interesting to children."-ATHENBUM.

"A compact and well-arranged exhibition of the elementary facts of geography, descriptive as well as physical. The novelty of the book consists in its introduction, which presents the principles of geography in an intelligible form; the illustrations being taken from familiar things. This portion, properly used by the teacher, will possess the pupil with distinct ideas of the use of geographical knowledge, imparting an interest to what would otherwise be dry facts, or rather words."-SPECTATOR.

"The present is one of Mr. Hughes's best works, good as they all are. It begins at the school-room, and conducts the pupil from that, teaching him how to draw maps, &c. over all the earth. Often do we wish that the excellent books we have now frequently to notice had been in existence in our younger days; they would have saved

SCHOOL S.

us a great deal of trouble. The present book is perfectly adapted to elementary schools; it is simple and plain, without being childish."-ECONOMIST.

"From its simplicity, comprehensiveness, and lucidity of arrangement, this little book is admirably adapted to the use of the young, and will be welcomed by all who are engaged in their instruction, for the merits to which we have alluded."-WEEKLY NEWS.

"This is a practical work, calculated to raise an interest in the subject of geography in very young scholars. It is written in simple language, and the author has evidently taken much pains to make the principles perfectly intelligible."-CAMBRIDGE CHRONICLE.

"This little treatise, from the pen of an earnest worker in elementary education, is certain to be of the most valuable service in the instruction of the young. In the variety and arrangement of its facts, as well as in the wide scope but simple treatment of the work, we discern a striking instance of the new spirit and great talent which are now being brought to bear on the education of our youth. The author has the credit of having solved the difficult problem of teaching geography intellectually.”

PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY,

Use of Schools.

"A little book, comprising a very large quantity of information, arranged to advantage, and imparted with precision. A more decided advance upon the ordinary character of even excellent elementary works, has not recently occurred to us. This advance is indicated, not only by the really scientific nature of the instruction given by Mr. Hughes, but by the equally scientific mode in which it is afforded. The instructor is not learning bit by bit, like a pupil; but, having acquired a mastery of the complete subject-at least, for every ordinary purpose-is enabled to display it in its proportions as well as in its minuteness. The book is, in little (but not on that account in indistinctness), a concentration of a score of the invaluable volumes upon Physical Geography which have of late years been enriching our better libraries, but to which the average class of readers can with difficulty attain. The neatly drawn and carefully coloured Maps, by Mr. William Hughes, are exceedingly meritorious. It would be injustice to speak of this work as a mere school-book, modest as are its pretensions. It is a capital little handbook." MORNING CHRONICLE.

"We do not hesitate to pronounce at once this book to be the most useful school geography we have. We cannot possibly over-estimate the importance of Physical Geography as an elementary science, and feel sure that for such works as the present all the old school geographies will ere long be discarded. The book is a careful one, written fairly up to the present state of science, which on this subject is daily making such giant strides, that each year ought to furnish a new edition of a school-book on such a subject."-ATLAS.

This is a work we can cordially recommend. It draws from us the best praise in our power to bestow; namely, that it answers the design of the author. It cannot fail to

A

designed for the

work well in school use. Simple and comprehensive in arrangement, written in a style neither difficult nor easy, full of information, at once fascinating and useful, enlive ed here and there with judicious and beautiful reflections that speak to the heart, we are persuaded that it will become a great favourite among school-boys, whose good fortune we almost envy, in possessing books so much superior to those used in our school-days. EDUCATIONAL TIMES.

"Decidedly the best book for schools on the subject of Physical Geography, is, in our opinion, that by Mr. Edward Hughes. The interesting and useful information which it contains, the just and well-expressed sentiments with which it is interspersed, and the judicious arrangement of the whole subject, entitle his Outlines of Physical Geography to far more extensive patronage than that of the scholastic profession. As a teacher of Geography, Mr. Hughes is acknowledged to be most successful; and his Outlines, in the hands of any judicious instructor, will, we apprehend, contribute greatly to the attainment of similar success. The Maps compiled by Mr. William Hughes are what the reputation of that eminent geographer would argue, and form a valuable feature of the book."

ENGLISH JOURNAL OF EDUCATION. "Mr. Hughes's little book is a carefully compiled, well arranged, and comprehensive introduction to the science of which it treats. Its statements are made in clear and simple language, and the neat and distinct little maps that illustrate it are valuable assistants to the accurate and complete comprehension of its contents. By the aid of this little handbook, children of a larger growth,' whose knowledge has not kept pace with the advances of the time, may profitably and readily acquire a vast deal of interesting and useful information."-ScoTSMAN.
