This is one Of the most useful reading books for

serving the attention Of teachers - Daiiy divocate

1t il 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 pccuaritles Of Mr.. Worcester's
Third and Fourth Books, is TO make reading

Il. HI.
useful compilation for the classes for whom it was
Intended. There is a large fund Of valuable inior-
nation embodied in the Rules and Instructions a
the beginning, and in the Errors and Questions
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 IF The Wood.ioek (Vt.) High
School.
Worccster's Fourth Book is truly deserving of
notice The ohiecs and arrangements are indeed
erce,lenf His rules at the head Of each chapter
and his exposition Of errors, together with his list Of
phrases &c, all combine to render this book such
one is needed in our schools.
From, Ebone.er Bailey, Principal Of the Young La
dies Hph School, Boston author Of " Hung
Indies Class Book, and First Lks-
sans in Algebra"
have used Worcester'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 Rev. j. ". Poland, Teacher Of Youth.
Having made use Of Woreesier'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 supe-
tior 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 it twice for
get the substance of ii. The noticed at tho
close Of each lesson, together with the questions,
fix the attention still more, and afford both interest
and instruction. l sincerely hope that many teach
ers Of youth will be induced To give both books
candid examination; after which l think they will
no, hesitate to give them decided preference.
