Mrs. Markham’s history was used by that model of teachers, the late Dr. Ar nold, master of the great English school at Rugby, and agrees in its character with his enlightened and pious views of teaching history. It is now several years since I adapted this history to the form and the price acceptable in the schools in the United States. i have recently revised it, and trust that it may bo extensively serviceable in education.”—Am.

A COURSE OF READING For Common Schools and Academies, on the plan of the Author's ‘ Elements of Heading and Ora tory.’ By H. MANDEVILLE. Professor of Moral Science and Belles Lettres in Hamilton College, N. Y. One neat Volume, 12mo. Price 75 cents. This work is divided into three parts. The first relates to Grammar; it contains a description of the different letters of the alphabet and their various sounds, of syllables, and also of words as parts of speech. The second part contains a classification and description of all the sentences or formulas of thought in every degree of expansion, to be found in the English language. Part the third contains a series of exercises on paragraphs: the sentences not detached and classified as in part second, but appear ing in the connections and relations of ordinary dis courses. 11. AN INTRODUCTION TO THE AUTHOR’S “Course of Heading,” and “Elementary Reading and Oratory.” By 11. MANDEVILLE , J). D., Professor of Moral Science and Belles Lettres, in Hamilton College. (In two parts.) Part 1, price 38 cents: Part 2, price 50 cents. This work may be used independently ; but teach ers will derive much advantage from its use in con nection with the “ Course of Reading,” in which the Author’s theory and practice of elocution is fully de veloped. PROF. MANDEVILLE’S READING BOOKS Are distinguished by the following peculiarities, which, it is believed, will favorably recommend them to the attention of parents and teachers : 1. The exercises at the beginning of Part I. of the Introduction, adapted as they are to the under standings and vocal powers of the young, enable the teacher not merely to illustrate the different move ments of tho voice in good reading, but to drill his pupils to the proper expression of them ; and, as these movements are, as will be observed on exami nation. connected with obvious peculiarities of sen tential structure, easily remembered, preparation is thus made to read intelligently the lessons which follow. 2 All these books contain a. studied variety of sentential structure—calling every moment for a corresponding variety of intonation. Most reading books, in consequence of a prevailing narrative or didactic style in their lessons, cause the monotony which they should cure. By introducing as large a share of the colloquial and dramatic into the present series as was deemed compatible with a complete exhibition of all the styles, the author has endea vored to force the pupil into the use of variety of tone. 3. The punctuat ion in these books conforms in the main to the sense and the proper delivery of every sentence, and is a guide to both. When a depar ture from the proper punctuation occurs, the proper delivery is indicated. [See “Hints to Teachers,” at the beginning of the introduction, Fart 1 J As reading-books are usually punctuated, it is a matter of surprise that Children should learn to read at all. 4 Each book apart, and the series as a whole are progressive—not nominally, but really progressive ; that is, beginning in Part I. of the’ Introduction, with the easiest reading in the language, the lessons continue to task the powers of the pupil more and more to the end. Part 11. advances in the same manner from less to more difficult; and, having thoroughly mast jre 1 this, the pupil is introduced o the “C nurse of Rendingwhere he commences the study of the simple grammatical principles, so f eras u knowledge ot ihem is essential to reading, and al so of the analysis of sentential structure, on which :•!! good reading depends. When he has exhausted the “Course of Reading.” the “Elements of Read ing and Oratory’ awaits him; in which he enters on the s ud\ c.f punctuation, modiilst on including the nature and !a\ of emphasis, and particular rules for the delivery of every sentence in the lan guage. n. In tbeop’,lion < f competent judges, hoc books are not loss : • aid to grammar and oompo-i i m, than to l ading.
