RECOMMENDATIONS.
We consider Dr. Webster a* eminently qualified to
prepare a work of this kind. His extensive acquain
tance with the early history of nations, and especially
our own—the result of fifty years of investigation—is
the best pledge for the accuracy of his statements;
while the personal knowledge of the events of our re
volution and the establishment of our government,
gives a freshness and interest to his narrative, which
are rarely if ever to be found in the pages of a mere
compiler. Wo therefore cordially recommend (his

New-Haven, July 20, 1832.
Messrs. Durrie Sc Peck—I have taken some pnins
to acquaint myself with the character of Dr. Webster’s
11 History of the (Jailed States.” It is, in my opinion,
a work of great merit, and admirably adapted to the
purposes alike of our public and private schools. It
will not injure the reputation of its illustrious author.
1 shall immediately recommend it to the Visiting Com
mittee fur adoption into the higher classes of the Lnn
easternn School. Yours respectfully,
JOHN E. LOVELL,
Principal of the Lhn caste rian school,
The Committee of the School Society in New-Ha
ven have concluded to introduce Webster’s History of
the United States into the Lnncnsterinn school, and to
recommend its use in the other schools in the New
Haven School Society, as a useful nod concise com
pend of history, well adapted for juvenile instruction.
Tlie volume contains many lads not contained in
any other History, and ns a school book has the advan
tage of combining at once, with the exercises of the
schools, a knowledge of our country and its institu
tions.—Conn. Herald.
The work will not fail to meet with a welcome re
ception whenever it it seen.—N. Haven Palladium.
From the Rev.T. Marsh, late Rector of St. Michael’s
Church, Litchfield.
This certifies, that I have perused “A History ol
the United States,” written bv Noah Webster, LL. D.
It is well calculated to benefit the rising generation.
It gives an intuitive and correct view of the most im
portant events attending the discovery and history of
North America. It is adapted to the wants, capacity
and taste of youth. 1 hope it may find a place in eve
nt library, and especially in our High and Common
Schools. The purity of its style, ana the correctness
of its facts, must please every patron of science, and
every friend of virtue and humanity. Duct. Webster
was the first man who succeeded in attempting to an
nlyse or parse the English language. He has done
more to explain its true principles, to investigate its
peculiar idioms, to trace its etymology, and banish its
corruptions, than any other person that ever lived.—
His name ought to be revered, and his philological
writings ought to be studied, by every classical scho
lar, and mure especially by every American, who is
disposed to patronise learning, or encourage religion.

From the Rev. Mr. Hickok, Pastor of the First Con
gregational Church, Litchfield.
I have examined to some extent Dr. Webster’s
History of the United States, nnd nm highly pleased
both with the plan and execution. While it is emi
nently calculated lor the improvement of the youthful
mind in Common Schools, there is also much* valuable
information, both of historical facts and philosophical
and philological disquisition, which renders it profita
ble to more mature and cultivated intellects. I can
not but hope that it may have a very general cirrula
non. ah a. nivnva.
