Worccster's Fourth Book is truly deserving 81

From Rer j, ". Poland, Teacher Of Youth.
Having made use Of Worccstcr's Third and
Fourth Books Of Lessons for Reading, &c. in my
school for some time past, feel that can recon-
mend them with perfect confidence, as being supc-
rior to any that have ever used, for forming cor
rect habits in reading. AT the commencement Of
each lesson, rule is given in such familiar man
ner, that no scholar, after reading ii twice can for
get the substance Of it. The errors noticed at the
close Of each lesson, together with the questions
fix the attention still more, and afford both inter, 81
