.New and Valuable School Book.
SECONDARY LESSONS, OR THE IN
- PROVED READER for the Of
Schools By the Author of the Franklin
Primer. This work is designed particularly
for Reading Book, and both in the plan and
execution, it is believed that some material iIn-
provements have been made, even on the most
popular books of the kind before extant The
title of the " Improved Reader it is thought,
will be found very appropriate, and the book
itself, an important auxiliary in the cause Of
Education
Extract from the Preface
"The leading design of this compilation, is to
introduce the child, by an easy and gradual
progress to an acquaintance with the most i'm
eortant words to acquaintance with their
meaning, as well as their visible forms. that he
may early form taste for reading, and be in
conparably more capable of oral instruction,
than he would otherwise be. The author pre-
tends to no great originality, either in the de-
sign, or the execution He hopes however,
that some material Improvements have been
made on the best books of the kind, before ex-
tant, not excepting the Easy Lessons and the
American Popular Lessons.
The IMPROVED READER is recommended to
the public, under the impression that it will be
found highly useful as School Book, and bet
ter adapted to the purpose, than any of SINH
lar kind that has yet been published. The plan
pursued, is IN some respects new . ana Is. iL Is
believed, entirely approved by those who have
given most attention to the subject, and that it
will be by others when they come to examine
the work.
Extract from ReUieao Of the aoork.
Z" We think the Improved Reader is well cal
culated for the important place it is designed
to fill, and that the Author Of it is entitled to
the thanks of the community for this success
full attempt to add to the means of intellectual
and moral improvement, among the young.
The style is simple the pieces short, interest
ing and instructive. Besides the excellent IN
struction which il contains, in familiar and
engaging form, it is well suited to do away
that unnatural tone which children so general
ly acquire by reading what they do not under
stand. Any one who is at all acquainted with
the state of our Schools and has observed the
manner in which the younger scholars spend
their time, will be sensible how much book
like this is wanted We hope to see this little
work extensively adopted in our Schools"
Those interested in the subject of Education
are respectfully requested to examine this
book, before they purchase for the approaching
winter schools
