H.COWPERTHWAIT & CO., Philadelphia, Have purchased and will hereafter publish POTTER & HAMMOND'S Popular Series of COPY BOOKS. This series comprises twelve numbers, and undoubtedly forms the most complete and scientific system of Penmanship which has ever been published. The following recommendation of these books, signed by PROF. NICHOLAS H. MAGUIRE, Principal of the Philadelphia High School, by MR. PHILIP A. CREGAR, Principal of the Normal School of the city of Philadelphia, and by THIRTY-FIVE PRINCIPALS of the Public Grammar Schools of the same city, gives some of the reasons for preferring Potter & Hammond's Series to the systems of other authors. "We, the undersigned, having thoroughly examined Potter & Hammond's System of Penmanship, pronounce it, in our opinion, superior to all others with which we are acquainted, for the following reasons: 1st. It is based upon the most scientific principles. Penmanship is here reduced to a science, by a methodical arrangement, in which all of the small and capital letters are brought under three principles. "2d. The system is practical. The letters are so grouped that the formation of each preceding letter assists materially in forming each one following. The system aims only at a practical handwriting, and dispensing with useless ornaments and flourishes, the pupil is taught at once the most simple and correct form of the letters, and thus rapidity of execution is promoted. 3d. The copies are of a superior order. The style adopted is a medium between the 'Old Round Hand' and the 'Angular form,' thus combining elegance with rapidity. The engraving is in the highest style of art. "The rules for position, movements, and holding the pen, are natural and correct. "The paper of which the copy books are made is of the very best quality, a matter of the first importance, and which is generally too much neglected. "We therefore cordially recommend their System and Copy Books to Teachers and School Directors generally." The publishers have in their possession many hundred similar recommendations from Teachers and School Directors in all parts of the country. Messrs. Potter, Hammond & Jackson, the former publishers of the Copy Books, will still retain an interest in them, and will be engaged in the future in presenting them to the public, in connection with a SYSTEM OF BOOK KEEPING, Which they have compiled, and which we shall publish at an early day. A pamphlet, containing a full description of the series, will be forwarded, free of charge, to any teacher or school officer who may favor us with his address. Single copies of either of the numbers forwarded for examination, by mail, postage paid, on receipt of 10 cents. Please address the Publishers, Philadelphia, June, 1859. H.
