IAN English Spelling Book from the author
OF the "Engiish Grammar" will undoubtedly
excite considerable expectation from those who
have been in the habis of using the Jstter; and
we doubt not that in process Of time, the Spell.
ling Book viii have as many admirers as the
Grammar has already obtained. We are glad
to see that Mr. Murray has been careful in the
right division ofhis syllables in his spelling and
that heiias not followed the example of others, by
Introducing into his book mass of irrelevant

the useful labours of Mr.. Murray, and this liz.

Mr. Muray's successful exerticiis for the SER

youth. the public are well acquainted. He has
now descended 70 the very elements Of instrueii
on, and with the same skill and judgment which
he has displayed in his other attempts. We re-
commend to the public this most important little
volume, as the only work with which we are &C
quain'ed in the English Language, for teaching
children TO read, written By philosoper and a
man Of tasts."--Lifva,y .f.wnai. Nov. 1904
"Mr- Murray's elementary works have the
sure merit Of combining well direded efforts TO
train the infant mind to virtue with the best
means of imparting instruction to il. In the
Spelling Book before us, this is particularly the
case, and we can therefore safely recommend il as
the best work ofthis kind which has lately fallen
under ourinspestion" Anfi .1acob.a, December

t" We do not always think il necessary to en-
ploy cur time in examining literary productions
of SO very humble kind as Spelling Books
The name of Lindley Murray, however, whom
we have more thanonce had occasion to commend,
arrested our attention. Wefnd his present pub,
LEGATION divided into three parts. In the latter
class are several useful thing, not commonly
found in such works. for instance Reading Les
sons in Italic, Old English and Manuscript Let
tiers /; explanations of the sounds of the letters,
distinguishing the long and short sounds Of the
novels and the anomalous sounds Of all; and
finally, rules for spelling, very clearly and dis
tinaIy xpressed."-B,itsb Critic, December,
