Sears Spelling Book-Of which more than 100 900
copies have been sold within the last three years
The following ale selected from among numerous
recommendations for this work.
Extract from the American Journal of Education
Boston.
"ln many schools in which Walkers Dictionary is u
sed, by scholars of the middle class, has unaccoun-
taby been customary to make use, in the youngest
Glass; of spelling book entirely at with " akers
principles. This oversight is the of much trou-
bic, and much of time, in building up, and pull
ing down. and re-buding-where the first effort
might erect n perfect fabric at once. The spelling
book before us, intended accomplish this object.
OF its success we have doubt. The utmost care
has been bestowed on its arrangement. In several
other particulars which our limits will not permit
mention presents equal merit The internal charac
ter OF the book corresponds in a respects, to the
neatness and care of its execution"
Improved Reader-Ths valuable little work is now
sereotyPed, and can be furnished in any quantity
short notice.
RECOMMENDATIONS.
From J. Stowell Principal of the LaDcasterian
School, in New Haven.
! have perused the Improved Reader, which you
handed me tor examination, with much tIsfacton.
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 full, understand, is which
ought to be adopted in all elementary books for chill
dren. J. STOWELL.
From the North American Review
ison with other works of this class say with
truth, that is certainly well adapted the purpose
for which it is intended by its highly deserving author
and may be recommended to the attention of Parents
and teachers"
Lessons an Greek Parsing or Outlines Of Greek
GrdDmer- Designed as nu Int reduction to the studi
of the Greek Grammar, BY G.. A. Goodrich Professor
OF Rhetoric and Oratory IN Yale College.
RECOMMENDATIONS
From Mr. Stoddart, teacher of Greek in the New Ha-
! ven Gymnasium.
md Per I'm ptiopc
request, lhave examined lessons in Greek Parsng,
and chcerfuly expires my decided approx tion Of
the plan and execution of the work Combining the
outlines Of Greek and Grammar, with appropriate
exercises upon the various reflections, it fail to
increase the interest, and facilitate the progress of
learners, in acquiring the elements OF the language.
In this view, regard it valuable introduction the
study of Greek-preerable to any other with whici,
] am acquainted. Yours, etc. A. STODDARD.

The Principal of the Utica Academy, writes as fol-
lows: "a work of this kind has long been wanted in
schoos and it is believed that the present little
volume will supply the deficiency. The plan OF he
work Is such every teacher must approve. It be-
gins with the pupil, BY parsng in easy sentences the
different parts Of speech separately, he learns their
infections, and leads him by easy progress of ap.
p, ing each rule of etymoogy and syntax, he adj
vances to familiar and thorough knowledge of the
grammar The exercise in mutual translation add
much TO the value of the work; experience sbund-
antly proves that these exercises b. ntrodu-
red at too early period in learning the language"
