"in many schools in which Walkers Dictionary is IT,
sed by scholars of the middle class it has upaccoun
tably been customary to make use, in the Youngest
class, of spelling book entirely at war with Walkers
principles This oversight the of much trou-
blc and much waste of time, in building up and pull
ing down. and re-building-where the first effor,
might erect perfect fabric at once The spelling
book oefore is intended TO accomplish this object
OF it's success we have doubt. The utmost care
has been bestowed on its arrangement. In several
other particulars which limits will permit us to
mention presents equal merit. The internal charac
ter of the book corresponds, in a respects to the
neRtness and care of its execution"

lows: "a work of this kind has long been wanted in
our schools and il is believed that the present little
volume win supply the deficiency The plan of the

different parts of speech separately, he learns their
infections, and leads him by easy progress of an.
plying each rule of etymology and syntax, as he ai.
vances to n familiar and thorough knowledge Of the

much to the value of the work; experience abund-
antly proves that these exercises be nrodu-
ced at too early period in learning the language"
