RECOMMENDATIONS.

From W. A. Duer, LL.D., President of Columbia College, New-York.

At the request of Mr. J. Orville Taylor, I have examined his work entitled "The District School," and am of opinion that, both from its design and execution, it well deserves the patronage of the public, and the special notice and perusal of those engaged or interested in promoting general education.

From Charles King, Esq., Editor of "The New-York American."

Having read the sheets of the above work, I concur fully in what is said of it by President Duer.

CHARLES KING.

From the Right Reverend Bishop Onderdonk, of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the State of New-York.

Mr. Taylor has done me the favour of putting into my hands a copy of his "District School." It being, however, at a period of more than ordinary pressure of official duty, I have been able to give it only a hasty and partial perusal. But I have been enabled to get such an insight into the nature and plan of the work as to satisfy me of its great value, and the probability of its being extensively useful to the important cause of general education. I therefore cheerfully concur in the above recommendations.
