 IAe Little Franklin: teaching children to read uhat they duly speak, and to learn soat ey ought to kno By Noah Webster, IL. D." This is new little work from the pen of the venerable Webster. Though now probably not far from eighty years of age, his mind is active and is constantly getting up something for the benefit of posterity. This little book contains vast deal of valuable information and advice in such plain language and familiar manner that every child may comprehend them. Indeed, there are many things in it which grown-up persons might study without any
  spelling laid down by Dr. w. which to our eye and ear look and sound very odd thus, for instance he spells tameable tam-able; saleabe, salable raeable, rat.abe Now in this last word especially, instead of getting the derivative rate only get rat-ratable It may answerin New-Haven but we think not in any other place. The old gentleman, in his construction of words, has some pecuares which it would be en- tirey useless 10 combat-for tho convinced against h oy1lIIy he nf fho Ia at MT. s.
