BLAKE'S READING BOOKS.

RUSSELL, ODIORNE & CO. BOSTON, and HORATIO HILL & CO. CONCORD, N. H., publish Blake's Reading Books for Schools and Academies. They are four in number, denominated the FIRST READER; the SECOND READER; the HISTORICAL READER; and the HIGH SCHOOL READER.— They are intended to furnish a suitable series of progressive Reading Exercises in Schools; and so far as there has been opportunity to make them known, they have been remarkably popular. Although the first and the fourth in the series have been published but a few months, about 100,000 copies, in all of these works have been sold. The First Reader has been so acceptable, that as yet it has been impracticable with a single set of stereotype plates to supply the market.

These Reading Books are particularly valuable for the moral influence they are calculated to impart. It is believed that they are entirely free from any thing of a sectarian character in religion, and that they are throughout so constructed as to impress the mind deeply with the sentiments of virtue and piety.

Fiction, which makes so large a portion of many School Reading Books, in these is almost altogether excluded. The place of it is supplied with what will be useful. This instruction in useful knowledge, and a course of exercise to discipline youth in learning to read, is happily combined in the same mental effort.
