The design of tho American Cliss-reader, is to
teach scholars 10 read II is not sufficient for this
purpose, that book be instructive and entertain
ing, and the selections chaste and classical in point
of diction it should be also properly adapted 10
exercise the reader in all the varied tones, nec-
tions and other requisites that belong to correct
elocution.
Four lessons are inserted without punctuation.
These will furnish tests of the degree of intelk-
gence, and of attention to the sense, with which
the pupil reads. They may also be used in teach.
ing punctuation, and the use of capitals.
A considerable number of lessons have b On
selected from the Bible. Apart from the impor.
lance and value of its divine instructions, tho
Sacred Scriptures abound in passages unrivalled
in natural impressive eloquencc, and admirably
adapted to the purpose of improvement in clocu-
ton. In what is calledrhetoricdl dialogue, se,c-
tons can no whcroelso DO found al all comparable.
