BRONSON’S ELOCUTION. BUTLER’S SPEAKER, etc.* THIS IS THK ONLY SOUTHERN HOUSE Engaged in the Publication of School Books. 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.
