![Bridgewater,Teb. 21st, 1S4G. My Dear Sir, During the first year that I had the charge of this Institution, two de- servedly popular and able works on Physiology were adopted as text- books. Very soon after Dr. Cutter's treatise on the same subject made its appearance, it was introduced into mj' school in place of those above- mentioned. I have had, therefore, a fair opportunity of judging of its adaptation as compared with other works, to the wants of our schools ai.d academies. For the purposes of instruction, it appears to me that it is rendered superior to other treatises. 1st. Because it is adorned with a far greater number of Plates, which I find engages the attention and deeply interests the mind of the pupils — presenting to them striking occular il- lustrations of the form and structure of the human system. 2d. Because its lucid arrangement and clear style, divested of technical terms as far as the subject will possibly permit, render it so intelligible, that scholars of sixteen years of age, and even younger minds, may com- prehend it, and with some explanation from the teacher, may study it with advantage and delight. 3d. Because questions, deduced from the contents, with much discrimin- ation, have been placed at the bottom of each page, to lead the younger pupils to direct their attention to those parts of the page which are of the most practical importance ; and finally, because the Appendix is full of extremely useful directions, not to be found in other productions of this kind, and the knowledge of which may enable any one, in cases of sudden accidents, to relieve suffering and save life. THEODORE P. DOGGETT, Preceptor of Plymouth County Academy 1 ■ „ Charlestown, 30th Jan. 1S4G. C. Cutter, M. D., Dear Sir, — I have examined the Second Edition of your work on ' Anatomy and Physiology, for Schools and Families.' I am fully satisfied th it, and shall use it in my school. .'t embraces the departments of Anatomy, Physiology and Hygiene suf- ficiently minute and extensive for schools or general reading, and it cannot fail tg find favor. The practical matter it contains greatly enhances its value.

Calvin Cutter, M. D., ' L. £ear Sir' T The inte,rest wh]ch is beginning to be felt in the study of the human system, affords one of the most satisfactory indications that the cause of education is advanemg. I have examined With care your work on Anatomy and Physiology,' and am highly pleased with its plan and execution, ft is> plain, practical, and thorough, and deserves to find a place among the standard text-books of our schools.
