    IMPORTANT TO TEACHERS AND SCHOOL COMMIT- TEES. NEW SERIES OF BEADING BOOKS, By Joshua Leavitt, Author of Lcavill's Easy Lessons. JOHN P. JEWETT & CO. 23 Corn/till, Booksellers' Rote, Boston, Publish one of the most valuable and elegant Series of Eeaders for Com- mon Schools which have ever been offered to the educators of youth, comprised in four Books, as follows : TJlc Primer or First Book, or Little Lessons for Learners, containing 72 pages ISmo., elegantly illustrated with numerous designs by Mallory, print- ed on new type and superior paper, and bound in full cloth with gilt sides— making a serviceable, elegant and attractive book for a child. TJie Second Book, or LcaviWs Easy Lessons, is a work which has been so universally approved by the best teachers in New England for twenty years past, that no further recommendation is needed. This is substantially the same work with a new Introduction. Its external appearance is very unlike its predecessors. The present edition is printed from new type, on superior paper, elegantly and substantially bound in embossed morocco, with cloth sides and gilt title, ISO pages, ISmo. 77(e Tliird Reader is of the same general character as the Easy Lessons, but more advanced, intended for older scholars. The sprightly and attrac- tive style and spirit of the Second Book runs through the Tliird. Great care has been taken in the selection of pieces, to get such as are calculated to interest the youthful mind, believing that it is next to impossible to teach a child to read well from a heavy, dull, prosy, uninteresting text book. 12mo., 210 pages, printed and bound in the best manner. Tlie Fourth Reader is intended for the higher classes in Common Schools, and contains pieces of still higher character than those in the preceding books. The author has studiously avoided the introduction into this vol- ume, of extracts from elaborate Essays, Speeches, Dissertations, fyc. fyc, and has aimed to meet the wants of the sc>iolar in the school-room. He has selected and arranged such pieces as are calculated to arouse and inspirit a school, and make good readers, and has rejected many pieces of sterling character, and of great literary merit, deeming them altogether above the comprehension of the mass of scholars in our Common Schools. The attention of Teachers and School Committees is particularly called to the elegant ami substantial style of this series of Readers, to the paper, printing, and binding, and also to the Very Low Price at which the pub- lishers have determined to sell them. We hope for large sales, and shal] be satisfied with small profits. JOHN P. JEWETT & CO.
