THE PICTURE of INDIA.
" We must say there is an elegance, if not a
splendour, of decoration about these volumes, that very
properly corresponds with the ideas of magnificence,
which we usually associate with the name of India.
The contents are worthy the beautiful framework in
which they are embraced ; and, if we mistake not the
public taste, the Picture of India will supersede every
competitor that has arisen, or that is likely to come into
the field."—Monthly Review, June.

facility and pleasure.
By Mrs. WILLIAMS.
N. B. This Edition contains a variety of testimonials
in favour of the system, from some of the most respectable
professors of the English language, as well as from several
parents, whose children (amused and interested by this
novel mode of instruction) have learned, in the course of
a very few months, to read correctly, and with perfect ease,
the longest and most difficult words.

duce the difficulties of learning to read; and the author
sets about the task in a way that entitles her to the thanks
of all mankind. Her book is a Piirner, but the child will
want no other book—for wheii this is properly thumbed,
the pupil will be able to -.cad the Encyclopaedia through
aloud."—Spectator.
