to observe, how easy it is to accustom children

From the american Journal of Education II
3" The plan of this work is Of so useful tharac-
ter, that we hope teachers will avail themselves
of a pefusal of it. We know of no course so
well suited to make children thoroughly ac-
quaihted 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, nOlo 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 WOOdJury, 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"
