"In many schools in which Walkers Dictionary is IL
sed, by scholars of the middle class il has unaccoun
tably boon customary 10 make use, in the Youngest
Glass, OF spelling book entirely with Walkers
principles This oversight is the of much trou-
bic, and much of time, in building up and null
ing down. and e-buding-where the first effort
might erect perfect fabric at once. The spelling
book before is intended to accomplish this object
OF its success we have no doubt. The utmost care
has been bestowed its arrangement. In several
other particulars which limits will permit us to
mention, 1t presents equal merit The internal charac
ter OF the book corresponds in all respects, to the
neatness and care of its execution"

stereotyped' and can be furnished in any quantity at

School, in New Haven.
have perused the Improved Reader, which YOU
handed me for examination, with much satisfaction.
II contains much useful information, communicated in
such manner, as both to instruct and please the
reader The plan of defining such words as the
child is supposed not fully understand is one which
ought to be adopted in all elementary books for chill
dren. j. STOWEIL

son with other works of this class, we can saw with
truth, that is certainly well adapted 10 the purpose

Grdmmer-Designed as an Introduction to the study
OF the Greek Grammar, by c. a. Goodrich, Professor
OF rhetoric and oratory in Yale College.
Recommendations
From Mr. Stoddart, teacher of Greek in the New la
Gymnasium.
Messrs. Durre and Peck-In compliance with your
request, lhave examined Lessons in Greek Parsing"
and cheerfuly 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
learners, in acquiring the elements of the language
In this view, regardit valuable introduction to the
study of Greek-preferable TO any other with which
am acquainted. Yours, etc.

and agree with MIR. stoddard in his opinion of this
work. J. l.. KINGSLEY.
Yale College August 18th, 1899.
The Principal of the Utica Academy, writes pc fol
lows "A work of tbio kind hos long been wanted in
schools; and it 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 he learns their
infections, and leads him by easy progress of ap-
plying each rule Of etymolOgy and syntax, he nd
vances to familiar and thorough knowledge Of the
grammar. The exercise in mutual translation add
much TO the value Of the work; experience abund-
antly proves that these exercises cannot be ntrodu
ccd at too carly period in learning the language"
