Extract from the Preface,
« Now if these ofj'as are thought worthy of re
gard—if the definition of words, attention to the
sense in reading,& the spelling correctly of all words
are objeds to engage the attention of youth, then it
is presumed the present undertaking will not be
thought untimely or improper."
“ To answer these leveral purposes, and to adapt
this book to the convenience of both Master and
Scholar, the Understanding Reader, presents,
in the margin of each page, a column of worsts in
italic characters, singled out from the lesson. Thole
words with a period after them are particularly de
signed for spelling—those with a note of interroga
tion, for being defined."
N.B. In this felcaion, a preference has been given
to fubjeas of Natural Hiftory, morality, amusing
and mftruaive essays, ffories, defctiptive poetry, aid
plea ting anecdotes, to the entire seclusion of what
ever is tbo't to be out of the reach of the capactie,
of youth to understand.
TO be sold at Public Auc

at 10 o'clock, A. M. by virtue of a licence from the
