SCHOOL MANUAL of LETTER-WRITING: Containing numerous Models of Letters on Commercial and other subjects; with Exercises in Epistolary Composition, Rules of Punctuation, Explanations of Abbreviated Titles, Commercial Terms, &c. Revised Edition....... ..12mo. 1s. 6d. THIS is one of the most serviceable books that have of late years been added to those in ordinary school use. Teachers have long experienced the want of such a book. The compilations called Letter Writers are, for the most part, such as might, without any loss to society in general, or to schools in particular, be consigned to everlasting oblivion. On the other hand, Mr. HUNTER'S School Manual of Letter-Writing is a work which should be introduced into every school where English composition is taught. The genuineness and modern style of the various commercial letters included in the present collection recommend themselves to the special attention of youths destined for mercantile life, as an excellent means of promoting in their minds an aptitude for the pursuits of business.'

THE publication of this manual is the result of a conviction that, in a course of training for clerkships in Government offices, mercantile houses, &c. there is wanted a means of attaining a more thorough mastery of the general principles of per-centage calculation, and a more ready power of totalling long columns of money, than any of the published treatises on arithmetic are fitted to impart. The instructions and exercises here supplied form a useful supplement to the ordinary arithmetical work in schools, besides affording help to candidates preparing for any of the various public examinations in which Addition of Money forms the subject of a special paper, and in which Problems in Percentages form a prominent feature of the miscellaneous paper.

Many difficulties, which beset the student in the arithmetical problems set him by the examiners to test his proficiency, are here reduced to the simplest forms; and rules are given to apply the like process to the most complex and intricate questions solvable by arithmetic; whilst, on the other hand, care has been taken not to relieve the pupil from the amount of study necessary to raise him above the suspicion of superficial training.' OXFORD HERALD. THIS arithmetic seems to supply a desideratum long felt in our system of only are the rules arranged in a more orderly sequence of method, but more numerous examples are given, several of them worked out as specimens, by which means the rules are more readily understood; the terms and signs are all clearly explained; and, in addition to the usual examples under each rule, several examination-papers are appended, in which some more abstruse problems are solved in full for the benefit of pupils who are interested in the higher branches of arithmetical science. On these grounds we recommend HUNTER'S Modern Arithmetic for the use of beginners, in preference to any other manual or treatise with which we are acquainted.' CAMBRIDGE CHRONICLE.
