"To teachers, school committees or inspectors, clergymen, and to the friends of correct elementary instruction. This critical review of Mr. Webster's spelling-book is submitted to your candid perusal and examination with a request that you will, after you shall have thoroughly and impartially examined the defects of his book which are pointed out in these numbers ... compare it carefully with the other spelling books now in use among you, whether Perry's, Marshall's, Sears', Hawes' ... but more particulary with Cobb's in which, it is believed, the defects, contained in Mr. Webster's Spelling-book, are remedied ... "--p. [2].
