Chancellor LIPSCOMB gives his testi
mony in the following terms:
UmvensiTY ok Georgia,)
Nov. l Üb, 1866. j
“I have examined with great care the
Goodrich Series of School Headers, edited
by Noble Butler. A. M. I consider these
Readers admirably adapted to secure the
end for which they have been prepared.
The selections are judicious, ami the ar
rangement is excellent. Reading is here
pre.'Onted ns an art; the consecutive meth
ods of instruction are thoroughly exhibited,
while the principles of correct and elegant
Reading, with the illustrations that em
body them, are so happily introduced, that
easy and natural progress may be made. I
am particularly pleased with the NEW
81XT11 READER. This work has pecu
liar merits. It combines, in an eminent de
gree. tho best features of our most pliilo
losphio systems of Elocutionary Reading:
and* apart from its other recommendations,
is especially worthy of the attention of
Teachers on the ground of its eclectic value.
I shall introduce the New Sixth Reader into
the Elocutionary Department of this Uni
versity. A. A. LIPSCOMB,
Chancellor."
“Butler’s Grammars impress me very
favorably. So far ns 1 have been able to
examine them, they strike me as very suc
oesstul efforts to adapt the subject of Gram
mar to yourrg minds. They teach the pupil
how to think iu the study of Grammar; and
as moat Grammars fail at this point, l can
very fully commend these books to the at
tention of Teachers.
A. A. LIPSCOMB,
Chancellor."
We could append the endorsement of
these rare Books t'nun all the important
Teachers in the City of Augusta, who will
hereafter use them exclusively in their
schools.
Our Books bavo recently been adopted as
follows : Readers and Grammars into all
the Schools of Texas, through the action of
the State Convention at Houston, July 4th,
1566.
Grammars, Arithmetic, and Algebra in
all the Public, and most of the Private
Schools of New Orleans.
Readers, Arithmetic, and Algebra in nil
the Public and Private Schools of Mobile,
Alabama.
Readers iu the Public Schools of Nash
ville, Tenn.
Readers., Grammars, and Mathematics in
the Public Schools, Jackson, Mississippi,
and hundreds of Schools throughout the
South.
