‘ The young student is now supposed capable of reading a
simple lesson with tolerable facility, and may therefore be in¬
troduced to words in which an arbitrary combination of vowels
and consonants is found. The third book of the series accord¬

in them, together with a few elliptical lessons, intended to call ;
forth the judgment and sagacity of the scholar.

kept in view was to givea" series of progressive lessons in useful
and entertaining knowledge, rather than a mere compendium
of elegant and rhetorical readings. They have received the
