READING AND SPELLING. Those who
| have used Mr.. Worcester's Primer are aware Of
ha peculiar talents in rendering those usually dry
subjects interesting TO children and to them it is
sufficient to say, that the Second Book has the same
simple and attractive character as the First.
| III. A THIRD BOOK FOR READING
AND SPELLING with simple rules and lnstric-
tons for avoiding common errors. by Samuel

The plan and character Of this work is different
| from any other now in Each lesson is prece-
ded by rule and Lis, Of Errors; and the read
ing is designed TO be not merely an exercise, but
study requiring the use Of the mind. We approve
of the plan of this book it is Just such is

school in tho country.-BostOn EUe. Gazette.
This is one Of the most useful reading books for

serving the attention Of teachers. Daily ADVOCATE.

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 a list Of common in pro-
| nouncing some Of the words included in it. The
object Of these pccuartes of Mr.. Worcesters
! Third and Fourth Books, is TO make reading a
sfudy IN our schools, instead of a mere exercise.

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 a
the end Of each chapter also at the end Of the
work, even more than the author, in his modesty
ventured to claim.
From the Principal Of The Woodstock tV,.) High
School.
Worcesters Fourth Book 10 truly deserving OF
notice. The objects and arrangements are indeed
crcelient. His rules at the head Of each chapter
and his exposition Of crrois together with his list OF
phrases Sc, all combine to render this book such a
one is needed in schools.
From Ebenezer Bailey, Principal Of the Young La
dies High School, Boston author Of Yung
Ladies' Glass Book" and +" FIRST Les
sons in Algebra"
l have used Worcesters 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 l am acquainted,
From Rev. J. w. Poland, Teacher Of Youth.
Having made use Of Woreestcr's Third and
Fourth Books of Lessons for Reading, &c. in my
school for some time past, feel that can recom-
mend them with perfect confidence, as being supe-
rior to any that have ever used, for forming
rect habits in reading. AT the commencement Of
each lesson, rule is given in such familiar man
nor, that no scholar, after reading it twice can for
get the substance of il. The errors noticed at the
close Of each lesson together with the questions,
ix the attention still more, and afford both inter- st
and instruction. l sincerely hope that many teach
ers Of youth will be induced to give both books a
candid examination; after which l think they will
not hesitate to give them decided preference.

utck, w. Buell., Esq. and John NJ. HOtce.

| We have examined Worcestcrs Reading Books,
and think them the most useful reading books that
have yet appeared. They are valuable acqusi-
ton to the young scholar, both as monitor Tor the
correction of reading and pronouncing, and as a
guide in manners and morals. The lessons arc
selected with much judgment, and are well calcula-
| ted to instruct the mind while they form the cha
racter. We recommend to parents and tc her $
to give them an early examination.
The attention Of Teachers, School Committees
! and others interested are requested to the above
series OF Readers. They will find them well adap'
ted TO our Schools and Academies. Published by
