4 WORCEsTERs PRIMER OF THE
a" ENGLISH LANGUAGE, for the use Of
| Families and Schools.
| II. 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 FIRST.
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 in use. Each lesson is prece-
ded by 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 one ms is
needed, and we hope it will be adopted in every
school in the country.-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 teachers Daily Advocate.
One Of the most useful reading books that has yet

give IT an early examination. --dmerican TreUeHer.
We think ii a ualuaJie acquisition to the young

with much judgment, and are we'll calculated to in

". FOURTH BOOK OF LESSONS FOR
READING, with rules and Instructions. BY Sam
uo Worcester.
Firm, the Annals Of Education.
II is constructed on the same plan with the Third
Book Of the same series; each selection whether Of
prose or pnery being preceded by a rule for read
ing and followed by list Of common errors in pro-
nouncng some of The words included in it. The
object OF these pcculiariios oc Mr. Worcester's
Third and Fourth Books, is to make reading u
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 1t was
intended. There is a large fund Of valuable inior-
nation embodied in the Rules and Instructions q
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 modcsty,
ventutcd to claim.

School.
Worcester's Fourth Book is truly deserving Of
notice. The objects and arrangements are indeed
frcetcnt His rules at the head Of each chapter
and his exposition of errors, together with his lis of
phrases &c, all combine to render this book such
one as is needed n our schools
