ARRANGED AND ANNOTATED BY THE EDITOR OF POETRY FOR THE YOUNG.' The 'Ne Plus Ultra' of School Reading Books, Well printed from clear type on good paper, bound in a strong and serviceable manner, with interesting and useful Illustrations from beginning to end. In the Infants' Books of the Series, very careful graduation in the introduction of sounds and words is combined with that great desideratum in Infants' Readers-an interesting connected narrative form. The distinctive features of the Series in the Higher Books are, that the passages selected (both Prose and Poetry) are taken from the Works of Standard Authors, thus complying with the requirements of the New Code, and that they are of such a nature as to awaken, sustain, and cultivate the interest of youthful readers. The Explanatory Matter is placed at the end of each Book, so that children may, at the discretion of the Teacher, be debarred access to it, and takes the form of three Appendices : (a) Explanatory Notes. (6) Biographical Notes. (c) A Glossary of Rare or Difficult Words. LIST OF THE BOOKS IN THE SERIES. Primer, Part I., 16 pp., 18 Lessons, 14 Illustrations, paper 1d.; cl. 11⁄2d.

It is the production of an experienced Schoolmaster. II. It gradually advances from the Simple Stroke to a superior Small-hand. III. The assistance given in the primal lesson is reduced as the learner progresses, until all guidance is safely withdrawn. IV. The number and variety of the copies secure attention, and prevent the pupils copying their own writing, as in books with single head-lines. V. The system insures the progress of the learner, and greatly lightens the labours of the teachers. DARNELLL'S UNIVERSAL TWOPENNY COPY-BOOKS, for the Standards. 16 Nos. Fcap. 4to.
