'ln many schools in which Walkers Dctionar, is
sed by scholars Of the middle class has
tably been customary to make use, in the youngest
class. of spelling book entirely at with Walkers
principles. This oversight is of much trou-
BILE, and much of time, in building up and pull
ing down. and re-building-where the first effort
might erect n perfect fabric at once. The spelling
book before is intended TO accomplish this object
OF it's success we have no doubt. The utmost care
has been bestowed on its arrangement. In several
other particulars which our limits will not permit

ter OF the book corresponds all respects, to the
neatness and care of its execution"

School, in New Haven.
l have perused the Improved Reader, which YOU
handed me for examination, with much satisfaction
II contains much useful information, communicated in
suc. manner as both to instruct and please the

truth, that IS certainly well adapted to the purpose

The Principal of the Utica Academy, writes as fol-
lows "a work of this kind has long been wanted in
cur schools; and is believed that the present little
volume will supply the deficiency. The plan of the
work is such every teacher must approve. II be-
gins with the pupil by parsing in easy sentences the
different parts of speech separately as he learns their
infections, and leads him by an easy progress of an

vances to familiar and thorough knowledge of the
grammar. The exercise in mutual translation add
much TO the value of the work; experience abuud-
antiy proves that these exercises cannot be inrodu-
