SON, form rly Principal of the Cinandaigua Aca-

| High School.
The design of the American Cllss- reader, is to
teach scholars to read. 1t is not sufficient for this
purpose, that book be instructive and entertain
ing and the selections chlste and classical in point
of diction it should be also properly adapted to
exerciss the reader in all the varied tones, inec-
tons, and other requisites that b-long to correct
elocution.
Four lessons are inserted without punctuation.
These will furnish tests of the degree of intei-
gsnce and of attention to the SENSE with which
the pupil reads. They may also be used in teach
ing punctuation, and the use of pitfalls.
A considerable number of lessons have been
selected from the Bible. Apart from the impor-
tlnce and value of its divine Instructions the
Sacred Scriptures abound in passages unrivalled
in natural impressive eloquence, and admirably
adapted to the purpose of Improvement in elocu.
