'1n many schools in which Walkers Dictionary is u
se by scholars of the middle class, has unaccour.
tably been customary to make use, in the youngest
class, ct q spelling book entirely at war with Walkers
principles. This oversight, is the of much trou-
BILE, and much waste of time, in building up, and pull
ing down. and re-buding-where the first effort
might erect perfect fabric at once. The spelling
book before is intended to accomplish this object.
ct It's success We have no doubt. The utmost care
has been bestowed its arrangement. In several
other particulars which our limits w,ll permit
mention, 1t presents equal merit The internal char

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 n manner, as both to instruct and please the
reader. The plan of defining such words as the
child is supposed not fully understand, is which
ought to be adopted in all elementary books Err chill

Yhe Pri1epal of the Utica Acadeny. writes as fol.
fows: "a work Of this kind has long been wanted in
onr schools and it rs believed that the present little
olume will supply the deficiency. The plan of the
work is such as every teacher must approve II be-
gins with the pupil, by parsng easy sentences the
different parts of speech separately, he learns
infections, and leads him by easy progress of ap
plying each rule OF etymology and syntsx, he adj
grammar. The exercise in mutual translation add
much to the value Of the work; experience abund
aoty proves that these cannot be introdt-
ced at too early period in learning the language"
