'qn many schools in which Walkers Dictionary is u
sed, by scholars of the middle class, it has unaccoun-
tibiy been customary TO make use, in the youngest
class, of n spelling honk entirely at war with Walkers
principles. This owe rsight is the cause Of much trou-
bic, and much waste of time, in building up, and pull
ing down. and re building-wherc the FIRST efior,
might erect q perfect fabric II once. The spelling
book before Us, is intended to accomplish this object.
OF its success we have no douSt. The utmost care
has been bestowed on its arrangement. In several
other particulars which our limits will not permi, us TO
mention, it presents equal merit. The internal charac.
ter Ut the book corresponds, III all respects, to the
neatness aud care of its execution"

RECOMMENDATION.
Frvm J. Stowell, Principal of the Lancaste:ian
Schoul, in New Haven.
I have perused the improved Header, which you
handed me for examination, with much satisfaction.
II contains much usefulirformation, communicated in
such 4 manner, rs both to instruct ard please the
reader. The plan of defining such words ms the
child is supposed not fully to understand, is one Which
ought to be adopted in all Elementary books fr chill
dren. e. J.. SToWELL.

"Niihout intending to make any inyid;cus comrar.
ison with other works uf this class, We can say with
.ruth, that i, is certainty well adapted to the purpose
for which II is intended by its highly deserving author,

RECOMMENDATIONS.
From Mr. Stoddart, teacher of Greek ia the New la
ven Gymnasium.
Messrs. Durrie and Peck-Inc compliance with your
request, have examined Lessons in Greek ParsinC,
and l cbeerfuly express my decided appreciation of
the plan and execution of the work. Combining the
outlines Of Greek and Grammar, with appropriate
exercises upon the various reflections, it cannot fail TO
increase the interest, and facilitate the progress of
