shesriDg Sheep, living Bees Harvesting &c
with Housebuilding Blacksmithing' Printing &c
&c. All these are described in animated, simple
perspicuous language calculated to inspire the
learners minds with love Of Industry, PRIDE IN
its innocent invigorating scenes and a cheering
consciousness Of the beauty which surrounds the
cornmonest and b1mblest pathway through life
wherever there is an eye 10 perceive and heartto
feel These descriptions are of course interspersed
with brief selected narratives and essays Ia prose
and verse. calculated 10 interest and proht the
Young re ader the whole profusely and happily illus
trated We wish not only teachers but the few pa
rents who carefully select the books from which
their children are taught would examine tbs
Reader and decide whether 1t is not really as ex-
celent as we deem it.
