TONS being intended.
Prof McGuney's enthusiastic devotion to the
cause of Education. his fine taste and dis
eliminating mind, and his practical experience
instructor, render him peculiarly fitted for
the department of authorship, to which he has
given his attention. The suggestions Of intelli-
gent teachers who had used the former editions
of the SERIES and the valuable aid afforded him
in the revision by an experienced educator, have
also furnished him with unusual facilities for
advantageously revising and charging these
works.
In this SERIES comprising as it does, careful
selection of instructive, entertaining and moral
matter, progressively arranged, and graduated
with reference to the capacity of the pupil, Prof
McGuffey has afforded to parents and teachers,
a most thorough complete, and efficient auxiliary
in the education Of youth. Its extensive use has
been sufficient for the development and just ap-
probation of its many excellencies. The result
is, that intelligent teachers pronounce it the most
complete series now before the public.
The intrinsic merit of Prof McGuhey's
Eclectic Readers, having gained for them an I'M
parallcled and rapidly increasing circulation, the
publisher is enabled, notwithstanding the heavy
expenditure in their revision and enlargement,
to manufacture them in the neatest and most
durable manner, while they now furnished at
