G. K. & L. keep a general assortment of Books in the various departments of Literature, Science and Theology.—Among the many valuable works which they publish, are the following, for Schools:
WAYLAND'S ELEMENTS OF MORAL SCIENCE. Abridged and adapted to the Use of Schools and Academies, by the Author, Francis Wayland, D. D., President of Brown University, and Professor of Moral Philosophy.
The publishers would respectfully request the attention of Teachers and School Committees to this valuable work; it has received the unqualified approbation of all who have examined it; and it is believed admirably calculated to exert a wholesome influence on the minds of the young. Such an influence as will be likely to lead them to the formation of correct moral principles.
ROMAN ANTIQUITIES AND ANCIENT MYTHOLOGY. By Charles K. Dillaway, A. M., Principal in the Boston Public Latin School. Illustrated by elegant engravings. Third edition, improved.
This work is rapidly going into use all over our country; it is already introduced into most of our High Schools and Academies, and many of our Colleges;—a new and beautiful edition has just been published.
BLAKE'S NATURAL PHILOSOPHY, New Edition, Enlarged. Being Conversations on Philosophy, with the addition of Explanatory Notes, Questions for Examination, and a Dictionary of Philosophical Terms. With twenty-eight steel engravings. By Rev. J. L. Blake, A. M.
Perhaps no work has contributed so much as this to excite a fondness for the study of Natural Philosophy in youthful minds. The familiar comparisons with which it abounds, awaken interest, and rivet the attention of the pupil. It is introduced, with great success into the Public Schools in Boston.
BLAKE'S FIRST BOOK IN ASTRONOMY.

YOUNG LADIES' CLASS BOOK. A Selection of Lessons for Reading, in Prose and Verse. By Ebenezer Bailey, A. M., Principal of the Young Ladies' High School, Boston. Thirteenth stereotype edition.
In order to give this work a more extended circulation;—notwithstanding its sale is now great,—the publishers have determined to REDUCE THE PRICE, in order to remove every obstacle in the way of its being introduced into all our female schools throughout the country.

BALBI'S GEOGRAPHY. An Abridgment of Universal Geography, Modern and Ancient, chiefly compiled from the Abrégé de Geographie of Adrian Balbi. By T. G. Bradford; accompanied by a splendid Atlas, and illustrated by engravings.
The above work contains 520 pages 12mo. and is the most copious School Geography yet offered to the public, and it is believed to be an important improvement, especially for the use of the higher schools and seminaries. It has received the sanction of all Teachers who have examined it, and has been favorably noticed in many of our public Journals. The Atlas accompanying this work, contains thirty-six maps and charts,—and is confidently recommended as superior, in every respect, to any thing of the kind now in use.
Religious Works.
THE COMPLETE WORKS OF THE REV. ANDREW FULLER, with a Memoir of his Life. By Andrew Gunton Fuller, in two volumes. With a correct likeness.
This valuable work is now published in two large octavo volumes, on fair type and fine paper, at a very low price. The cost of former editions ($14) precluded many from possessing it. The publishers are gratified in being able to offer to the Christian public a work so replete with doctrinal arguments and practical religion, at a price that every minister and student may possess it. No Christian can read Fuller, without having his impulses to action quickened; and every student ought to study him, if he wishes to arm himself against every enemy.

MEMOIR OF GEORGE DANA BOARDMAN, late Missionary to Burmah, containing much intelligence relative to the Burman Mission. By Rev. Alonzo King, of Northborough, Mass. With a Valuable Essay, by a distinguished Clergyman.
The rapid sale of the large edition of this work first published,—the increasing demand for it,—and the evident good which its circulation has accomplished, have induced the publishers to bestow much expense and labor upon it, in order to present the present edition in as complete and attractive a form as possible, with a view to giving it a still wider and more rapid circulation.
A valuable Essay of thirty-five pages, written at the request of the publishers has been added; and in addition to its having been handsomely stereotyped, a correct likeness of Mr. Boardman, taken on steel, from a painting in possession of the family, and a beautiful vignette representing the baptismal scene just before his death, have also been added.
