These biographies possess some mer-
itorious features which commend them to
every student. 1st-The execution of
the maps are superior to any we have
ever seen. 2d-Much unnecessary matter
found in other works is excluded, rem
dering the books compact, neat and cheap
3d-These Biographies are new and up

The more we have examined, the more
we like them. We should be glad to see

Ny DEAR SHARLoT:

Ny DEAR SHARLoT:
l am glad you have got our old friend
the Etymologist on our side, for great
many would be wise people say we want
to upset the etymology Of our language.
A little of his lore upon this point will
aid us. In the mean time l have not
quite done with tia moral and practical
effects OF our present spelling-to be
compelled to say as we must, that there is
no law or rule about it, is to say there is
20 analogy or logic, consequently no
scientific basis for this the foundation
science of all other sciences, is to- bring
disgrace and contempt upon our English
race. 1t is to teach the child authority, not
to develop reason or evoke thought, but to
send the mind bac k into the. polyp Gel !,
to come out in it's manhood and woman
hood crooked, cramped and shapeless
thing, failure. ts4 sAl@a
From DR.. Johnson's days till now lexi-
cograpers have been trying to JIG our
spelling. The labor and toll has been
prodigious, unwearied, exhausting. But
as at done? Worcester gives. about 1900
words whose spelling is still unsettled,
and then there is the great question of
usage on that large class Of words, 9overn-
ed only by taste Or caprice of the writer.
Shall it be our or or in labor for u

tween two vowels, and aoben centre

poor victims of the rod or sarcasm which
is worse, must ngenaorl2e or-die. This
is one of the useless drudger5ey Of this
nineteenth century, just to ferpetuGte a
barbDrism, because there is no necessity
for it longer than reasonable time to
change it. The child wades through it
as best he can, thanks to his memory or
organ of form if he succeeds at all, and
then purcbance unnaturally, developed,o or
else broke down in the effort, and no one
ever suspects the real cause. In former
times when stables were limited and
school days also, with more out door ex-
ercise, the child could live through it,
but now when other studies are increas
ing, when there is SO much more to learn,
and school days increasing our children
are breaking down under this mountain
load. Unfortunately the Spelling wor!, is
never done to nene-tenths of the English
race The printer and proof reader
alone perhaps after a life long practice
and struggle with dictionary in hand
achieves the mastery of the few thousand
words in daily use, but even to him let "a
new word appear which he has never
heard pronounced, or word pronounced
