Extract from the American Journal of Education

'ln many schools in which Walkers Dictionary is IL
sed by scholars of the middle class, it has
tably been customary to make use, in the youngest
class, of spelling book entirely at with Walkers
principles. This oversight is the of much trou
BILE, and much waste of time, in building up, and pull
ing down. and -building-where the first effort
might erect perfect fabric at once. The spelling
book before 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 our limits will not permit
mention, IT presents equal merit The internal charac

neatness and care of its execution"

From J. Stowcll, Principal of the Lancostcrian
School, in New Haven.
have perused the Improved Reader, which you
handel 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 the
child is supposed fully understand, is which
ought to be adopted in all elementary books fur chill
dren. J. STOWELL.
''Without intending to make any invidious compar.
ison with other works of this class say with
TRUTH that ii IS certainly well adapted to the purpose
for which it is intended by its highly deserving author

The Principal of the Utica Academy, writes as fol
lows: "a work of this kind has long been wanted in
our 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-
different parts Of speech separately, he learns cir
infections, and leads him by easy progress of ap
plying each rule of etymology and syntax, he al
vances to n familiar and thorough knowledge OF the
grammar. The in mutual translation add
much the value of the work; experience abund-
anty proves that these exercises cannot b. ntrodu-
ced at too early period in learning the language"
