Works issued by those publishers who , ia consequence of the recent change , determine to reduce the amount of discount allowed to the trade , wRl be supplied at relativel advantageous rates . Periodicals and Magazines supplied on the day of publication , at a discount of 10 per cent , from the published prices . Orders for Old or Second-hand Books carefully attended to , and Binding executed in all varieties of style . American Books at Greatly Reduced Prices . The retail prices of American Books have hitherto been mnch higher than needful in England , in consequence of the practice of allowing a large discount to the trade ; Mr .

The prices attached ( in English currency ) to all Lists of American Books that may henceforth be published by Mr .

      AN E DUCATIONAL H O M K , for Children from Three to Seven Years of Age , near the _KKGKNT'S PARK , LONDON . This K . _stablishnient , at present in its commencement , in recommended to the attention of those parents who aro desirous of obtaining for tbeir children a course of curly training in harmony with the true objects of moral and intellectual culture , and who are aware of the great difficulty of _efliiciiig _, or of counteracting in alter yearn , the injurious effects of ignorant and injudicious nursery discipline . It combines with the watchfulness of parental ( aire , arrangements calculated to promote the health , p hysical development , and joyous freedom of the child .

      The habits and dispositions are carefully trained ; truthfulness and _unselHshneHH are sedulously cultivated ; and obedience is enforced not by severity or intimidation , nor by the allurements of factitious rewards—but b y a firm , consistent , and gentle mode of treatment , by appealing to tho understanding and the sympathies , by directing attention to the natural consequences of conduct , and by fostering a l (> vo of excellence . The instruction , which i « graduated from the _sintido to the more complex , is carefully adap ted to the comprehension of the child ; and , while the teaching of dogmatic creeds on tho

      assumption of their unquestionable truth in scrupulously avoided , as prejudicial to the duo exercise and development of the intellectual _Jueultics , the utmost endeavours are made to educe and strengthen tht iho elements of character which are tho foundation of true relig ious feeling . Knowledge is made attractive , and the lessons are given by nieiuiH of sensible signs with familiar conversations , on the principle of cultivating the perceptive and reasoning powers by stimulating curiosity concerning the structure and qualities of objects and the phenomena of animate and inanimate nature . For reference . & c , apply ty Mr . Joutf _CuM'MAN , Publisher , 1-12 . Btrumi .
