"DART. CoLLEGE, July 2, 1929.
Mr.. Samuel Putnam-My dear Sir,-Your

schools in which have been acquainted, since
the date OF their publication. regard them as
the most valuable books which have examin-
ed for the purpose of elementary instruction
in the art of reading: The selections are char
acterized by great simplicity and felicity of ar
rangeinent, and the object, of al. others most
important, the making of language ineligible,
vehicle of thought, and an instrument Of ex-
citing and developing the powers Of the youth

into general use. N LORD"
From Rec. S. r. Hall, author of i" Lectures
I" have examined the .7naiyficaL Reader, and
have used it in school. 1t merits my approba-
ton. The design of it is good 1t leads the
young scholar to understand what he reads,
better than any work with which am acquant-
ed. Not one of its least excellencies is its
! moral character. The child is led by il to love
virtue. and to hate its opposite. The author
has done public service and wish the book
introduced into all our primary schools. shall
promote its circulation wherever can"
From Rec. H. HiidretA, A. NJ, Gloucester,
(hass) formerly Professor at Philips Eaeter
academy, On H. =" Dear Sir,-The plan Of
your book like very much. 1t must greatly
promote one of the principal objects of educa-
ton, which is, to lead children 10 form the hab-
meaning of what they read to study things
and not scords only Ihave often had occasion
to observe, how easy it is TO accustom children
to be contented with sound without sense, and
how important it is, to direct their education
in such manner. as always to associate acOrds
with the ideas they signify. Your book has
been introduced into the schools of neighbour
ing town, and the minister of the town has told
me that he considered it worth all the other
books in use in the place"
From r. d. Massey, H. d., Professor, &C.,
at Dartmouth College .-' am Of opinion that
the plan of the Analytical Reader is decidedly
superior to that Of any other work of the kind
have ever seen. The combining, in each ex-
ercise. of the different objects OF Pronounctng,
Reading, Defining, Spelling, Derivation, and
Variation, added to the pure moral instruction
which is presented, give peculiar Importance
to the work.
From the american Journal of Education -
".The plan of this work is of so useful charac-
ter, that we hope teachers will avail themselves
of a perusal of it. We know of no course SO
well suited to make children thoroughly ac-
quainted with the words of their own language,
or to impart the advantages of correct, forci-
BILE, and appropriate expression"
From Rec. DR.. Tyler, late President Of Dart
mouth College, noaC of Portland -" The plan,
which is new, appears to have been suggested
by long experience in the business of instruc-
ton, and to be well adapted to facilitate the
progress of learners"
From Leci WOODBURY., IL d., Senator In
Congress, and late Governor of NJ H. -" The
system you have adopted will, undoubtedly,
tend to sharpen the attention of pupils, to
strengthen their memories, and 20 bring into
exercise, earlier than usual, their powers of
judgment. With these advantages the book
certainly merits patronage in all our primary
schools"
From Rer E. Paqson, D. d., late of Port
land Sc am of opinion that the author has
introduced some valuable improvements, which
render it in several respects superior to any
other work of the same class with which am
acquainted"
From Hon John Brcdhedd, no,c member Of
Congress -" The plan is the hest that has yet
been devised, TO promote taste for literary
knowledge in the youthful mind"
