"In many schools in which Walkers Dictionary is IL
scd. by scholars of the middle Glass; 1t has unscooun-
tabiy been customary To make use, IN the youngest
class. of spelling book entirely AZ with akers
principles. This oversight is the of much
bic, and much waste of time in building up, and pull
ing down. and rc-buildng-whcre the first ciior,
might erect perfect fabric at once. The spelling
book before intended accomplish this object.
OF ats success we have doubt. The utmost
has been bestowed on its arrangement. In several
other particulars which our limits will permit
mention, presents equal merit. The internal charac

neatness and care OF its execution"

our schools and it is believed that the present little
