DE M'OULLOOffS EDUOATIONAL WOEKS,
PUBLISHED BY
OLIVER AND BOYD, EDINBURGH;
STMPKIN, MAESHALL, AND CO., LONDON.
A valuable series of works has been prepared by Dr M'Culloch,
formerly Head Master of tlie Circus-Place School, Edinburgh, now
Minister of the West Church, Greenock, for the use of schools where
the general mental culture of the pupil, as well as his proficieney in
the art of reading, is studiously and systematically aimed at.
They form, collectively, a progressional Series, so constructed and
graduated as to conduct the pupil, by regular stages, from the ele-
mentary sounds of the language to its highest and most complex forms
of speech ; and each separate Book is also progressively arranged, —
the lessons which are more easily read and understood always taking
the lead, and preparing the way for those of greater difiiculty.
The subject-matter of the Books is purposely miscellaneous. Yet it
is always of a character to excite the interest and enlarge the knowledge
of the reader. And with the design of more effectually promoting
his mental growth and nurture, the various topics are introduced in an
order conformable to that in which the chief faculties of the juvenile
mind are usually developed.
That the moral feelings of the pupil may not be without their proper
stimulus and nutriment, the lessons are. pervaded throughout by the
religious and Christian element.
