Extract from the American Journal of Education,
Boston.
"n many schools in which Walkers Dictionary is IL
scd, by scholars Of the middle class, il has
t,bly been customary TO make use, in the youngest
class, of spelling hook entirely with Walkers
principles. This oversight is the of much
bc, aud much waste Of time, in building up. and pull
ing down. and Te-building-where tho first effort
might erect perfec, fabric at once. The spelling
book before us, intended to accomplish this obect.
or its success we have no doubt. The utmost care
has been bestowed its arrangement. In several
ohcf particulars which limits will permit
menton, it presents equal merit The internal charac-
ter of the book corresponds in all respects to the
neatncss and care of its execution

RECOMMENDATIONS.
From j. Stowcll, Principal of the Lancastcrian
School, in New Haven.
I have perused the Improved Reader, which YOU
handed me for examination, with much satisfaction.
Ii contains much useful information, communicated in
such 4 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 FIR chill
dren. J. STOWELL.
From the North American Review
'Wi,houi intending to make any invidious comrar.
iSon with other works OF this class, We say with
truth, that is certainly we'll adapted to the purpose
for which it is intended by its highly deserving author
and may be recommended to the attention OF Parents

am acquainted. Yours, ETC.

The Principal of the Utica Academ,. writes as fol

work is such as every teacher must approve. II be

much to the value of the work; experience abund-
