STANDARD SCHOOL BOOKS:

Messrs. SMITH & CO., having secured the use of copy-right for the Southern
States on the NATIONAL SERIES OF SPELLERS AND READERS, [By R. G. Parker
and J. M. Watson] have just issued

THE NATIONAL PRIMER,

OR PRIMARY WORD BUILDER. Beautifully illustrated--64pp., 16mo.,
half bound, price 30 cts.

Comprises about fifteen hundred monosyllables, none of which contain more
than five letters. It is believed that the pupil can easily acquire a
thorough knowledge of the meaning and use of these words, in the reading
exercises, as well as their orthography and pronunciation in the lists, as
they are all arranged with regard to their formation, number of letters,
and vocal sounds.

NATIONAL ELEMENTARY SPELLER,

Richly illustrated; 160pp., 18mo., half bound, price 35 cts.

It is so arranged as to teach orthography and orthoepy simultaneously. The
vocabulary contains several hundred euphonious and peculiarly significant
words, heretofore not comprised in spellers of this grade. All lists of
words are strictly classified with regard to their formation, their vowel
sounds, alphabetic order, accent and number of syllables.

NATIONAL FIRST READER.

OR, WORD BUILDER. Finely Illustrated. 128pp., 16mo., half bound, 45 cts.

Its plan is entirely new and original. The first lesson consists of the
words of one letter, namely, A, I, and O. From these three words there are
about sixteen other words which are formed by affixing, and eight more by
prefixing, a single letter. As the learner is able to read these lessons
of one and two letters, a reading lesson adapted to his capacity, and
composed solely of these words, is presented. Then follow a list of words
of three letters, composed of words of two letters with some other letter
prefixed; a list formed from similar words of two letters, by affixing an
additional letter, etc.
