IIT 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-
dcd by a rule and List of Errors and the read
ing is designed to be not merely exercise, but
study requiring the 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 country.-BOston Eve. Gazette.
This is one of the most useful reading books for
common schools. 1t strikes us as particularly de-
serving the attention Of teachers. -Day ddrocdfe.

w. FOURTH BOOK OF LESSONS FOR
READING, with rules and Instructions. BY Sam
uel Worcester.
From the Annais Of Education.
1t is constructed on the same plan with the Third
Book Of the series each selection, whether OF
prose poetry, being preceded by rule for read-
ing and followed by list OF common errors IN pro-
nouncing some Of the words included IN il. The
object Of these peculiarities Of Mr.. Worcesers
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 a
useful compilation for the classes for whom it was
intended There is a large fund Of valuable inor-
nation embodied in the Rules and Instructions
the beginning, and in the Errors and Questions a
the end Of each chapter, as also at the end OF the
work. even more than the author, in his modesty,
vcnured to claim,
From The Principal Of The Woodstock (Vt) High
School.
Wurcester's Fourth Book is truly deserving Of
notice. The objects and arrangements are indeed
ercelienL 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 as is needed in schools.
From Ebeno=T Bailey Principal Of The Young La
dies High School, Boston author Of Yug
Ladies' Glass Book" and FIRST Las
sons in Algebra"
have used Worccsters series of reading books
in my schools since they were pnblished, and
regard them among the most valuable works Of
the kind with which am acquainted,
from Hep. u. " f@OtuHu, IeucWI "
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 recon-
mend them with perfect confidence, as being supe-
ror to any that have used, for forming cor
rect habits in reading. At the commencement Of
each lesson, rule is given in such a familiar man-
ner, that scholar, after reading it 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 interest
and instruction. / sincerely hope that many teach
ers of youth will be induced to give both books
candid examination after which l think they will
not hesitate to give them decided preference.

We have examined Worcester's Reading Books,
and think them the most useful reading books that
have yet appeared. They are valuable acquisi-
ton to the young scholar, both monitor for the
correction of reading and pronouncing, and as
guide in manners and morals. The lessons are
selected with much Judgment and are well cacuia-
ted to instruct the mind while they form the cha
racter. We recommend to parents and te htis
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
CHAS. HENDEE, l3l Westinghouse, and for
sale by the booksellers in all parts Of the United
