Fifth Book, about 500 pages 2 6 3 0 THIS is an entirely new series of English Reading-Lesson Books, in which the difficulty of t'ne exercises is graduated chiefly with reference to the mental ca- pacity requisite to comprehend and grasp the information con- veyed ; and also, as far as possible, with reference to the peculiarities of grammatical construction. The object of the Series is no less to facilitate the acquisition of the art of reading than to form a pupil’s taste, and to tempt him to pursue his studies voluntarily. Rook I., price Is-., will consist entirely of short simple stories, easily understood by children who have mattered the first step i in reading. Book II., 1j. Gel., will contain tales of adventure, imaginative and real, and anecdotes in natural his- tory. Book III., 2s., comprises classi- fied literary selections corresponding in arrangement with Book IV., 2s. Gd., to which it is introductory. In Book V., price 3v., which w ill complete the knowledge of the proficiency he has acquired in the other four; and it will aim at answering the practical purposes of a Class-Book of English Literature. The Third and Fourth Books are now ready. The Second Book is in the press ; and tho Series will be completed in FIVE VOLUMES, price 10j. as above, in tho courso of the present year. ERSONS engaged in ele- mentary education will ap- preciate the labours of the Editor preparing this series of educational works. The extracts are from the best authors, and such as may be compre- hended by the youthful, reader and awaken his sympathy; there is tho ele- ment of attractiveness in all the lessons ; and the pupil is led by gentle gradations to a survey of the great departments of human knowledge. We consider tho Graduated Series a great improvement on all former school reading books ; and vve may mention as a most useful feature tho division mark placed at intervals in each chapter, with a view to enable the teacher to apportion to each pupil his share of reading.
