'In many schools in which Walkers Dictionary is IL
sed, by scitolars Of the middle class, it has unaccoun-
tably been customary tn make use, i'm the youngest
class, of a spelling book entirely at war with Walkers
principles. This oversight is the cause of much trou-.
bic, and much waste of time, in building UP, and pull
ing down, and re -bulding-where the first effort
might erect a perfect fabric at once. The spelling
BOOK before Us, IS Intended 10 accomplish this object.
otits success we have no doubt. The utmost, care
has been bestowed on its arrangement. In several
other Particulars which our limits vii, not permit US 70
mention, 1t presents equal merit. The internal chsrac-
ter OF the book corresponds, in all respects to the
neatness and care of its execution"
