Extract nom the American Journal of EduCntion
"ln many schools in which Walkers Dictionary is u
sed. by scholars Of the middle class, it has unaccoun-
c.ass. Of = spelling book entirely at war with Walkers
principles. This oversight 10 the cause of much trou-
bic, and much waste Of time, in building up, and pull
ing down. and neutrality-suspicious. the first effort
might erect a. perfect fabric at once. The spelling
book before rs, is Intended to accomplish this object.
OF it's success ve have no doubt. The utmost care
has been bestowed on it's arrangement. In several
other particulars which our limits viii not permit US to
mention, II presents equal merit. The internal charac
ter Of the book corresponds, in ell respects, to the
nentness and care Of its execution"

RECOMMENDATIONS. -
From j. Stowell, Principal of the Lancnsterian
School, in New Haven.
j have perused the Improved Reader, which you
handed me for examination, with much satisfaction.
II contains much useful information, communicated in
such a manner, as both to instruct and please the
reader. The plan of defining such words as the
child is supposed not fully to understand, is one which
ought to be adopted in all elementary books for chill.

Nessrs. Durrie and Peck-In compliance with your
request. have examined Lessons in Greek Parsinc,
