WORCESTER READING BOOKS.
a WORCESTERS PRIMER OF THE
Re ENGLISH LANGUAGE, Jr the use Of
Families and Schools.
IT. WORCEsTER's SECOND BOOK FOR
READING AND SPELLING. Those who
have used Mr.. Worcester's Primer, are aware Of
his peculiar talents in rendering those usually dry
subjects" interesting to children and TO them il is
sufficient to say, that the Second Book has the same
simple and attractive character as the Fust.
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 preces
ded by a rule and List 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 as is
needed, and we hope it will be adopted in every
school in the country.-BOston Eue. Gazette.

We think il a ua11bie acquisition 10 the young
scholar, both a monitor for the correction OF err

in manners and morals. The lessons are selected

w. FOURTH BOOK OF LESSONS FOR
READING, with rules and Instructions. BY SAM
uel Worcester.
From The Annals 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 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 pccuartes Of Mr.. Worcester
| Third and Fourth Books, is TO make reading a
study IN our schools, instead of a mere exercise.
We regard the Fourth Book, on the whole, as a
useful compilation for the classes for whom was
intended. There is 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 as also at the cad of the
work. even more than the author, in his modesy
ventured to claim.
From The Principal Of The Woodstock (Vt.) High
School.
Worcesters Fourth Book is truly deserving Of
notice. The objects and arrangements are indeed
orcelient. His rules at the head Of each chapter
and his exposition of errois, together with his list of
phrases &c., all combine to render this book such
| one as is needed in schools.
From Ebenezcr Bailey, Principal Of The Young La
dies HIGH School, Boston author Of " Ynng
Ladies' Glass Book" and First Ls-
| sons in algebra"
Ihave 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 am acquainted,
From Rev. j. ". Poland, Teacher Of Youth.
Having maue use oil Worcester Hltu anu
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 supc-
rior to any that have used, for forming cor
rect habits in reading. At the commencement of
each lesson, rule is given in such familiar man
ncr that no 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 nert 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.

| We have examined Worcesters Reading Books,
and think them the most useful reading books that
| have yet appeared. They are a valuable acquisi-
ton 10 the young scholar, both as monitor for the
correction Of reading and pronouncing, and as a
guide in manners and morals. The lessons are
selected with much judgment, and are well calcula-
ted to instruct the mind while they form the cha
racter. We recommend 10 parents and TO her s
to give them an early examination
! The attention of Teachers, School Committees
and others interested, requested to tho above
series of Readers. They will find them well adap-
ted to our Schools and Academies. Published by
