Extract from the American Journal of Education,

"ln many schools in which Walkers Dictionary is u
sed, by scholars of the middle class has
tably been customary to make use, IN the youngest
class, of spelling book entirely with Walkers
principles This oversight is the of much trou-
Bile, and much of time, in building up, and pull
ing down. and re-buildng-where the first effor,
might erect perfect fabric at once. The spelling
book before us, is intended accomplish this object
OF it's success we have doubt. The utmost care
mas been bestowed on its arrangement. In several
other particulars which limits will not permit us to
mention, 1t presents equal merit. The internal charac
ter OF the book corresponds, in respects, to the
neatness and care of its execution"

much to the value Of the work. experience abund-
antly proves that these exercises cannot be ntrod.
