sed, by scholars of the middle class it has unaccoun-
tsbiy been customary 20 make use, in the youngest
class, of spelling book entirely with Walkers
principles. This oversight is the of much trou.
bic, and much of time, in building up and pull
ing down. and e-building-where the first effort
might erect a perfect fabric at The spelling
book before u.s. IS intended to accomplish this object
OF its success we have no doubt. The utmost care
has been bestowed on its arrangement. In several
other particulars which limits will permit us TO
mention, presents equal merit. The internal charac

neatness and care of its execution

RECOMMENDATIONS.
From J, Stowell, Principal of the Lancastcrian
School, in New Haven.
! have Perused the Improved Reader, which you
handed me for examination, with much satisfaction.

such manner, as both to instruct and please the
reader. The plan of defining such words as the
child is supposed fully understand is one which
ought to be adopted in ali elementary books for chill
dren. J. STOWELL.

truth, that It is certainly well adapted the purpose
for which IT is intended by its highly deserving author

The Principal of the Utica Academy writes as fol-
lows: an work of this kind has long been wanted in
schools and il is believed that the present little
volume will supply the deficiency. The plan of the
work is such every teacher approve. II be-
