"In many schools in which Walkers Dictionary is H.
sed, by scholars of the middle class il has unaccoun
taoiy been customary to make use, in the youngest
class, OF spelling book entirely with Walkers
principles This oversight is the cause of much trou-
BILE, and much waste of time in building up, pull
ing down. and neutrality-suspicious. the first effort
might erect perfect fabric at once. The spelling
book before US, intended accomplish this object
Of ITS success We have no doubt. The utmost care
has been bestowed its arrangement. In several
other particulars which our limits will permit US to
mention, 1t presents equal merit. The internal charac
ter OF the book corresponds, in respects, to the
neatness and care of its execution"
