"DART. COLLEGE, July 9, 1929
Mr.. Samuel Putnam--My dear Sir,-Your

Analytical Reader The Analytical Reader
and Sequel to the Analytical Reader have

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
rangement, and the object, of al. others most
important, the making Of language ineligible,
a vehicle of thought, and an instrument of ex-
citing and developing the powers of the youth

From Rec. S. r. Hall, author of " Lectures
on School Keeping just published in Boston -
have examined the analytical 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 acquaint-
ed. Not one of it's least excellencies is its
moral character. The child is led by it 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 Req. H. Hildreth, a. M, Gloucester,
| (MaSs) formerly Professor at Philips Eaetsr
academy, on. H. -" Dear Sr,-The plan of
your book like very much. Il must greatly
promote one of the principal objects of educa-
ton, which is, to lead children to form the hab-
its of thought and reflection to search for the
meaning of what they read to study things
and not toOrds only. ii have 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 sCOrds
with the ideas they signify Your book has
been introduced into the schools of neighbor-
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"
4 From r. ID. Massey, NJ d., Professor, &c.,
az Dartmouth College -" am Of opinion that
the plan of the Analytical Reader is decidedly
superior to that of any other work of the kind
nave eyer seen: The combining, in each ex-
ercise, OF the different objects of PronOuncing,
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 q perusal of it.. We know Of no course so
well suited to mako children thoroughly ac-
quainted with the words of their own language,
or to impart the advantages of a correct, forci-
BILE, and appropriate expression"
From Req. DR.. Tyler, late President of Dart
mouth College, nOo 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 LeUi Woodbury., LII. d.. Senator In
Congress, and late Governor of NJ H. -" Tho
system you have adopted will, undoubtedly,
tend to sharpen the attention of pupils, to
strengthen their memories, and TO bring into
exercise, earlier than usual, their powers of
judgment With these advantages the book
certainly merits patronage in all our primary
schools"

render it in several respects superior to any
other work of the same class with which am
