III. A THIRD BOOK FOR READING
AND SPELLING with simple rules and instruc-
tons for avoiding common errors. BY Samuel
Worcester.
The plan and character Of this work is different
from any other now in use. Each lesson IS prece-
ded by rule and List Of Errors and the read
ing is designed to be not merely an exercise, but
study requiring the Of the mind. We approve
of the plan Of this book it is Just such one as is
needed, and we hope il will be adopted IN every
school in the country boston Epe. Gazette.
This is one of the most useful reading books for
common schools. 1t strikes us as particularly de-

We think il Uaiuable acquisition TO the young
scholar both as monitor Tor the correction of err

". FOURTH BOOK OF LESSONS FOR
READING, with rules and Instructions. BY Sam
From the annals Of Education.
1t is constructed on the same plan with the Third
Book Of the same SERIES each selection, whether OF
prose or poetry, being preceded by rule for read
ing and followed BY list Of common errors IN pro-
nouncing some of the words included in it, The
object Of these pcculiarities Of Mr.. Worcesters
Third and Fourth Books is 10 make reading a
study IN our schools, instead of mere exercise.
We regard the Fourth Book on the whole, as
useful compilation for the classes for whom IT was
intended There is large fund Of valuable inor-
nation embodied in the Rules and Instructions
the beginning, and in the Errors and Questions a
the end of each chapter, as also at the end of the
work even more than the author in his modesty,
ventured to claim.
From The Principal Of The TVoOdstoch (Vt.) High
School.
Worccstcr's Fourth Book is truly deserving Of
notice The objects and arrangements are indeed
ercciient His rules at the head of each chapter
and his exposition of erros together with his list Of
phrases &c, all combine to render this book such a
one as is needed in our schools.
From Ebene=er Bailey, Principal Of The Young La

Indies Class Book" and FIRST LIS
sons in Algebra"
have used Worccster's series Of reading books
in my schools ever since they were published, and
regard them as among the most valuable works of
the kind with which am acquainted,
From Rsp. J. W. Poland, Teacher Of Youth.
Having made use Of Woreesiers 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 supe-
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 scholar, after reading it twice can for
get the substance Of it. The errors noticed at the
close CT each lesson, together with the questions,
fix the attention still MORE and afford both inter, st
and instruction. / sincerely hope that many teach
ers of youth will be induced to give both books a
candid examination after which ] think they will
not hesitate to give them decided prefer encc.

We have examined Worcestors Reading Books,
and think them the most useful reading books that
have yet appeared. They are valuable acquisl-
ton TO the young scholar both as monitor for the
correction of reading and pronouncng, and as
guide in manners and morals. The lessons are
selected with much judgment, and are well calcutta
ted to instruct the mind while they form the cha
racter. We recommend to parents and lie ahers
to give them an early examination.
The attention of Teachers, School Committees,
and others Interested requested to the above
series OF Readers. They will find them well adap-
ted to our Schools and Academies. Published by
