Educational Books to continue
the Series, and they have already made arrangements to
this effect.

The object of the Publishers is to supply a Series of
Illustrated Volumes, adapted both for Schools and Private
Study, which shall be accurate and complete text-books,
_and at a price within the reach of every one_.

The old system of instruction, by which the names of things
only were presented to the mind of the pupil, has been long
admitted to have been imperfect and unsuccessful. With the
young it is necessary to speak to the Eye, as well as to
the Mind--to give a picture of an object as well as a
description; and the adoption of such a plan of tuition is
not only far more effective than that which is confined to
words, but is at the same time much less irksome to the
teacher, and more pleasant to the pupil. A greater interest
is excited, and the representation of the object remains
clear and distinct in the mind of the child long after the
verbal description has passed away.

daily engaged in the tuition of youth, and, therefore, knows
exactly what is really useful in a Spelling Book. The
Reading Lessons are arranged upon a new progressive
principle, exceedingly simple, and well adapted for the
purpose. The Accented Type has been adopted, so as to ensure
correct pronunciation. The old system of mis-spelling words
is dangerous in the extreme, and, therefore, very justly,
has now fallen into disuse. In a word, the "ILLUSTRATED
WEBSTER SPELLING BOOK," whether considered in respect to its
Typography, Binding, or Beauty of its Illustrations, must
take the highest position as a School-Book, entirely setting
aside the old-fashioned, and, in most instances,
unintelligible--s
