Mt Deab Sib, — We are using in our school several of your

publications with much satis&ction. This is especially the case

with Otto's French Grammar. As a dass text-book, this grammar

is, in my opinion, the best in the market.

For the excellence of your school-books, both as to matter and

typographical beauty, you richly ment the gratitude of teachen

and pupilB.

Yours truly,

DiCTATiON Exercises. Bj E. M. Sbwell, auther of '' Amy Herbert/' ànd by L. B. Urbino. Boston : S. R. Ubbino. " We are already deeply isdebted to Miss Sewell, and this little book adds oue item more to the list of yaluable books whicli she bas fUrnished to us and our children. This is emphatically a schoolbook with a soûl in it, and we think nothing can exceed the skill and ingenuity with which thèse exercises are drawn up. No teacher can glance at it without at once perceiring its importance to hini : and in our opinion, in the teaching and spelling, it haa not its equal. — Transcript,

DiCTATiON Exercises. By E. M. Sewell and L. B. Urbino. (pp. 174.) Boston: S. R. Urbino.

** Bad spelling is so common, in spite of ail our schools. that it is worth the while even of an accomplished writer like the author of ' Amy Herbert ' to prépare a good spelling-book ; for such is the volume" before us.

** It is arranged, however, on a plan so novel, in English, as to deserve spécial attention. The words are arranged in (K>ntinuou8, though rather comical, sentences, which are to be written down, from dictation, by the leamer. The lessons are progressive, and cannot &il to interest more than the old columns of disconnected words. It is well printed by Mr. Urbino." — Commonwediih

If a child of average capadty, that bas been drilled in an ordinary spelling-book, and then subjected to a course of lessons in this book of Dictation Exercises, cannot spell correctly the words of the language, it would prove, what I do not believe, that correct Bpelling ccmnot be attained by aU pupils, by seasonable shtdy and drill. 1 believe that every public and prîvate school in America would be greatly benefited by using this yaluable treatise^

Very truly y ours,
