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 a List Of Errors and the read
ing is designed to be not merely an exercise, but a
study requiring the use of the mind. We approve
of the plan of this book it is just such one as is
needed, and we hope it will be adopted in every
school in the couniry.-Boston EUe. Gazette
This is one Of the most useful reading books for
common schools. 1t strikes us as particularly de-
serving the attention Of teachcrs.-Daty ADVOCATE.
One Of the most useful reading books that has yet
appeared. We recommend teachers and parents to
give it an early examination. --Amercdn Traveller.
We think it a Uaiugbie acquisition TO the young
scholar both as a monitor for the correction Of err
rors in reading and pronouncng, as well as guide
in manners and morals. The lessons are selected
with much Judgment, and are well calculated TO in

". FOURTH BOOK OF LESSONS FOR
READING, with rules and Instructions. BY Sam
ue Worcester.
From the Annais Of Education.
It is constructed on the same plan with the Third
Book OF the 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 pcculiarics Of Mr.. Worcesier's
Third and Fourth Books, is 10 make reading a
study IN our schools instead Of mere exercise.
ard whole, as
useful compilation for the classes for whom it was
intended. There is n 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 modcsiy
ventured to claim.
From, the Principal Of the Wood.toek tVt.) High
School.
Worcesters Fourth Book is truly deserving of
notice. The objects and arrangements are indeed
ercellert. His rules at the head Of each chapter
and his exposition Of crrois together with his list Of
phrases &C., all combine to render this book such
one as is needed in schools.

dies High School, Boston author Of " Yung
Ladies Glass Book" and " First Lts-
sons in Algebra"
Ihave used Worcesters series of reading books
in my schools ever since they were published, and
regard them among the most valuable works OF
the kind with which | am acquainted,
| From Rev. j. w. Poland, Teacher Of Youth.
Having made Of Woreester's Third and
Fourth Books of Lessons for Reading, SC. in my
school for some time past, feel that can recon-
mend them with perfect confidence, as being supc-
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 il twice can for
get the substance Of it. The errors noticed at the
close of each lesson, together with the questions
! fix the attention still more, and afford both intertst
and instruction. l 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 a decided preference.

rick, w. Buell., Esq. and John NJ. Ho'ot
