sufficient to say that the Second Bank has the same
simple and attractive character as the First.

From the Annais IF 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 a 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 TO 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 a large fund Of valuable nior-
nation embodied in the Rules and Instructions Il

Worcester's Fourth Book is truly deserving Of
notice. The objects and arrangements indeed
ercolient. His rules at the head of each chapter
and his exposition Of errors, together with his list of
phrases Sc, all combine render this book such
one as is needed in our schools.

close of each lesson, together with the questions,
fix the attention still more, and afford both interest
and instruction. / sincerely hope that many teach
