INTERROGATIVE AND IYIPROVED SYSTEM OF
GENERAL EDUCATION.

THE CONDUCTORS of SCHOOLS and AC ADE-
MIES are respectfully acquainted, that the whole of the sets
of Questions, as appended to the several Works, or sold in separate
small Books, have also been printed in HANDSOME QUA RTO
COPY-BOOKS, at Two Shillings each, with spaces for the entry
of the Answers. As a combined Exercise of Writing, Orthography,
Grammar, and Composition, with the practical attainment of the
special subject of study ; and, as a means of displaying the actual
progress and powers of the Pupils, to their parents and relatives,
the value and utility of these Copy-Book Questions will be duly ap-
preciated by every experienced Tutor.
New Editions have been prepared of BLAIR'S SC HOOL-
MASTERS' and GOVERNESSES' REGISTERS, at Is. each,
and the obvious utility of these Books, in stimulating emutition in
study, and in improving moral habits, has, in many considerable
Schools, superseded the necessity of corpori-1 and iv,lionainious pu-
nishments.
A New Edition has also been printed of M. AIR'S TUTOR'S
KEY, price ss. tad. cm:raininz, answers or r:ltscrces for answers to
all the Elementary Books and sets of Questions comiected with the
Interrogative System, with a Preface by Sir RICLIARD Prtleetrs, il-
lustrating its Theory and Practice.
Primed for G. and W. B. Whittaker, Ave-Maria-lane ; and to
be had, wholesale and retail, of Oliszer and Boyd, Edinburgh ; and
