From Professor HART. CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL, Philadelphia, July 15, 1845. I have examined, with some degree of care, the Universal Pronouncing Gazetteer," by Thomas Baldwin and others, and am satisfied that it is a work of uncommon excellence and value. It is a book that has been very much needed, both in families and in schools. Its general introduction would greatly facilitate the study of geography, by preventing the present confusion in regard to the pronunciation of foreign names. It ought to be in the hands of every teacher, and of all pupils who can afford it. The principles of pronunciation adopted by the compilers seem to be judicious, and, so far as I have seen, are carefully applied to the details of the book. The work in other respects also is deserving of high commendation. It contains, in a small compass, a large amount of important geographical and statistical information, accurate in its character, judiciously selected, and well arranged. JOHN S. HART, Principal of Philadelphia High School. I most heartily concur with Professor Hart in the above views. S. W. CRAWFORD, D.D. Principal of the Academical Department of the University of Pennsylvania. Extract of a Letter from Professor LIEBER, Editor of the Encyclopedia Americana. "A Pronouncing Gazetteer is not only a necessary work in the literature of every nation, but it is particularly wanted in the present age." ** It seems to me the teachers of whatever schools can scarcely do without having this book of reference near them." From the Hon. JOHN PICKERING. This work cannot fail to be highly useful, not only to instructors and pupils, but also to general readers." From Professor ANTHON. NEW YORK, Sept. 10, 1845. "The subscriber has examined Baldwin's "Universal Pronouncing Gazetteer" with considerable care, having consulted it almost daily for at least a month past, and takes great pleasure in recommending it as a very superior work. CHAS. ANTHON. Having often referred to and examined the "Gazetteer," I fully concur with Professor Anthon. G. C. VERPLANCK. Extract of a Letter from WILLIAM BELDEN, Esq., Senior Teacher of the Normal Schools, New York. "This is just such a book as cvery teacher in the country ought to possess, and I may add such would be a most useful addition to every private library." From the PRINCETON REVIEW for October 1845. "We have no hesitation in pronouncing this one of the most scholarlike productions of our native press. The authors show not only a familiar know. edge of the modern languages, but a highly respectable acquaintance with general philology." * "We look upon this work as full of entertainment and instruction to all who take an interest in orthoepy." RECOMMENDATIONS. From the CHRISTIAN EXAMINER (Boston) for January 1846. "This is a good book in two ways. It was much wanted, and it is ex ceedingly well done." "The plan of it is in some respects quite new, requiring to be carried out with a wide search, and at the same time with the minutest accuracy. Both the diligence and the care, we think, have been bestowed." From the NORTH AMERICAN REVIEW for January 1846. Having spoken of the importance of fixing the pronunciation of geographical names the reviewer proceeds to say: "We are glad to find an attempt made in a very creditable manner in the work before us to effect this object. The principle followed is to adopt the true foreign sound explained as far as is practicable in English letters, in al cases except those few like Paris and Naples, which seem to have acquired a fixed English pronunciation. The practical value of a work of this sort depends entirely on the fulness and accuracy with which it is executed; and in these respects we can commend this volume in the strongest terms." * From JOHN GRISCOM, LL.D. "From a long acquaintance with the wants of schools, I am persuaded that this is a work which every good teacher will find it expedient to keep on his desk." "The authors have very judiciously added to the names of countries, the adjective and appellation of the inhabitants. I am no aware that this has ever been done in any former Gazetteer." "The scientific accuracy of this book renders it in my opinion one of the most valuable contributions to the practical manuals of the teacher, the scho lar, and the general reader, which modern times have so liberally furnished.' Extract from a Report unanimously adopted by a mecting of the TEACHERS INSTITUTE OF THE CITY AND COUNTY OF NEW YORK, held the 24th of January, 1846. * "One distinguishing feature in which this differs from other gazetteers, it that it gives the true pronunciation of the names of cities, towns, &c. through out the world." We consider that this one feature of the work i a sufficient recommendation for its admission as a book of reference int schools as well as private families throughout the country. "Another advantage which it possesses over other gazetteers, is the judi cious selection and condensation of its matter. Thus, instead of two ponderou octavos, the usual dimensions of such works, the present comprises all tha is really needed in a single volume of very moderate size; which reduces i to a price that most can afford in the purchase of such a work." From a Report adopted by the COLLEGE OF TEACHERS of Philadelphia, November 1845. "We regard this as a standard of sufficient authority to settle all disputed points in geographical orthoepy; and we hope its introduction into the library of every scholar and the parlour of every family will ere long banish that dis crepancy of pronunciation which constitutes one of the opprobria of ou language." From Professor LEWIS, of the University of New York. "Such a book has long been wanted for all our institutions of learning, fror the college down to the common school. Most of our young men, even thos who rank among the best scholars in our colleges and academies, are excced ingly deficient in the right pronunciation of foreign proper names." "I should be rejoiced to see the work introduced into all the schools of the country. It would also doubtless form a valuable addition to the library of every gentleman of business or of leisure." |
