This is a digital copy of a book that was preserved for generations on library shelves before it was carefully scanned by Google as part of a project
to make the world's books discoverable online.
It has survived long enough for the copyright to expire and the book to enter the public domain. A public domain book is one that was never subject
to copyright or whose legal copyright term has expired. Whether a book is in the public domain may vary country to country. Public domain books
are our gateways to the past, representing a wealth of history, culture and knowledge that's often difficult to discover.
Marks, notations and other marginalia present in the original volume will appear in this file - a reminder of this book's long journey from the
publisher to a library and finally to you.
Usage guidelines
Google is proud to partner with libraries to digitize public domain materials and make them widely accessible. Public domain books belong to the
public and we are merely their custodians. Nevertheless, this work is expensive, so in order to keep providing this resource, we have taken steps to
prevent abuse by commercial parties, including placing technical restrictions on automated querying.
We also ask that you:
+ Make non-commercial use of the files We designed Google Book Search for use by individuals, and we request that you use these files for
personal, non-commercial purposes.
+ Refrain from automated querying Do not send automated queries of any sort to Google's system: If you are conducting research on machine
translation, optical character recognition or other areas where access to a large amount of text is helpful, please contact us. We encourage the
use of public domain materials for these purposes and may be able to help.
+ Maintain attribution The Google "watermark" you see on each file is essential for informing people about this project and helping them find
additional materials through Google Book Search. Please do not remove it.
+ Keep it legal Whatever your use, remember that you are responsible for ensuring that what you are doing is legal. Do not assume that just
because we believe a book is in the public domain for users in the United States, that the work is also in the public domain for users in other
countries. Whether a book is still in copyright varies from country to country, and we can't offer guidance on whether any specific use of
any specific book is allowed. Please do not assume that a book's appearance in Google Book Search means it can be used in any manner
anywhere in the world. Copyright infringement liability can be quite severe.

•riginally the principles cftruthV
For the negii^ft here alluded to, it would be impos-
sible to produce any con?*i stent reason* Perhaps the
pri(ie of acknowledged literature could not stoop io jkn
occupation reputed so mean, as that pf compiling a
Sj^elling Book* Yet to lay the tirlt stone of ,a noble
edifice has ever been a task delegated to the mort
honourable hands ; and to. sow the seeds pf Ui>ofi|J
learning in the nascent mind, is an emplpyraent'that
eantiot be. disgraceful to the -most illustrious talents,
Bi$l^<>p LpWTH wrote an excellent i^nglish Grammar,
knA several men of rank in literature hjiye benefit!^, the
public , by similar productimis : yet it is in vain th^it
OtamiB<lfs are written, iT no one has learot to Tc^d ^
ijt is in vain that the fublimest discoveries ^te made ia
arts or sciences, if the generality of the world are pre-
cluded Ifrocgi profiting by them, fpr want of previous
instruction in the firil principles- with wli^ they arc

a^ the solidity of hi§ inferences and the justice o^f his
tcm^s, in whatever light his prefeht undertaking may
be rigard^ H|W*k or degrading as it may appe
( 4 )
' tothos<! who perlinps Jiavc wo higher pretensions than
himseify Jic .cannot think that Inboitr dishonourable
^icfa is so manifestly beneficial to the visinij j^niera-
tten*; nor has he any reason to fear but the candid and
judicious -will adequately appreciate his motives and his
prbduclion. Our sentiments and our conduct are more
influenced by cariy impressions than many are willing
to allow: the stream will always flow tinctured with
the nature of its source. A just maxim, a'humanc
principlo, a germ of knowledge, 6arly imbibed, will be
yTormanent., The first books we read can never be for-
gotten ; nor the principles they inculcate, eradicated.
Slencc, in the prosecution of this work, care has been
tafen to make every lesson or essay as far as tlic nature
of tltfe plan would allow, tend to some useful pui'f>ose of
ihfornvation or instruction. Even in the more easy pro-
gi*es«ive lessons, where sense was limited, to a sini^le
syllable, it is lioped something will be fouml to please
and to improve. Nor will this lie thought diificqlt ; to
tread in the steps of tt Barbauld^ vijaujfretj an Edge^
voorth^ a Trimmer^ a Berquin^ and to accommodate
their labours to this benevolent design, only required a
littfe taste and judgment, which any j^erson long conver-
sant with education and books ought to possess.
Tlifc parts comprising elementary knowledge of pecu-
liar importance, and which should m«re es|3cciaily be
committed to memory at intervals Ix^fore the child is
ten years old, are the three Spelling Tables of Proper
Names in the 11 0th and following pages; the defini-
tions of Artfr and Sciences beginning in p^ge 121 ; the
list of Countries -and their Chief Cities in ]>age 126 and
foHowiiig pages to 130 ; the Pence,' Multiplicattoi/, and
other Tables, at pages 145 and 14(>; and the defini-.
tionsof thePartsof Sjjecch, with tlie short Syntax, in
pages 139 and 141. In giving tl>ese articles as tasks,
the Editor recommemls that they should always be di-
vided into small portion's, and on no occasion be made of
such length as to create faligno or disgust. In all the
tpeUing-tables, the chiUl's progress will be far more
*«pid if the words arc called over by thc'T^tor ; the
sietirod 'of obliging the child to rejieat them by rote

no additional advantage ill point 6f spelling. '•
The Church Catcchiswi, and the two short, Catechisms
hy the 151011S Dr. Watts, as well as the Prayers and tlie
pieces of Poetry, should be committed to memory as
thd understanding enlarge^ and the capacity to fead
improves* fThe list of iSsembling Wi>rds at j^age 118;
the Stops :jtnd Marks at page 143 ; the French and Latin
Words and Phraies at pogi^ 148 and ]4y ; the Abbre-
viations which fallow th««e J Dr. PrankllnVAcrvioo, in
page 108 5. the Moral and Practical Observtttions at
paffe I04f i and tlie Survey of the Universe at page 130 ;
will bo intermixed with other studies, according to the
discretion of thejudicious Ttitor. -
Fu tihoTl> the Editor fa^ls inclined to believe, that this
Manind for early youth Mill I)e fimndmuch better adapt-
ed to the purpose limn jiny that tias preceded it ; and in
con^eqiumcfi heanticiputc^ thc^ kind patronage of TesRAi-
ers in gfruerul* It prubnbly will tend to facilitate their
l..bour, by furnUhing Hubjrrta more agtecabte -lo.the
puuit thaji the dry inanilyof iniwjt books of llie kind ;
antl if its execution corf<%[K»rid witk its intention it can -
ncrt full to redound to their credit also, by ffivinff yoiilh
an opportunity of irainin^ ni* rnufh general knowiedg^fes
could be c ro w ded within t he U m its prescribed ,
Indeed it was a remark of tlie Publishci: (to whom
British youth are under sin<?ular obligations for furnish-
ing them with many valuable opportunities of improve-
ment)j wjben he earnestly pressed this work on the Edi^^
tor's attention, *^ That a Spelling Book frequently, con-
stitutes the whole library of a poor chihJ, unless when
charity puts a Bible into his hands; and it consequently
ought to contain as great a variety of useful matter as
the price will permit/' ThQ compilatipn has been
formed strictly on this principle ; and it will be felt by
every candid Reader, that the child who may be unable
to aequire any other literary knowledge than wliat can
be learnt even in tliis elemcutary and familiar book, need
rtever have reasoa to blush from ignorance, or to err from
want of a solid foundation of moral and religious
prittciptes. Woodstock^ Feb. IS, 1^06.

' THE HORSE.
Lessop 1.
THE horse IS a noble creature, and very ust-
ful to msLtu A horse knows his own stable: he«
dis-tin-giiiah-es his com-pa-ni-ons, remembers anj
frface at which he has once stopped, and will finiv
his way by a road which be has travelled. The.
rider governs his horse by signs; which he makes

other parts of harness. The hair of the tail is

THE cow;
Lefipn 2.
GX |s tlic general name for horned cattle, and
of all the fe the cow is the tifefulleft tor us. The
flefh of an ox is beef. iVo ox is often ufed to draw
a plougli or cart ; his flelh fuppiiea us with food :
the blood is ufed as manure, as well as the dung;
the fat<is made into candles i the hide into ftiocs
and boots j the hair is mixed with lime to make
miM»tar; the horn is aiade into curious^ things, as
combs, boxe^, handles for knives, drinking-cups,
and is ufed infte^ of glass for lanterns. The
beiies! are ufed to make little fpoons, knives and
forks for children, buttons, &c. - Cows give us
milk, which is excellent food; ^d of milk we
make cheefej of the cream we make butrer. The
young animal is a calf; its flefh is veal; vellum
and covers of books are made of the fkin. The
cow may .be con-fi-der-ed as more u-ni-vcr fal-ly
* conducive to the cpmforls 6f mankind than any
cither animal.

TrtE HOG.
Leflon 3* -• *
THE hog appears to have a divided hoof, like
the peaceable animals which we call cattle i but
he really has the bones of his feet like thofe of a
beaft of prey, and a wild hog is a very favage ani-
xnal. Swipe have always been* ^eftiecmed' very un-
tract-a-ble, ftupid, and inca-pa^ble of tu-irti-roa i
but it appears that even a^ pigjmay be taught. A
hog is a difgufting animal ; he is filthy, greedy^
ftubborn, dif-a-grcc-a-:ble, whiJft alive, but very
ufefuf after his death. Hogs are vorra-ci-ous 5 yeb
where they fiad plentiful and de->li-ci-ous food^
they are very nice in their choice, will refufe un-
found fruit, and wait the fall of frefh j but hun^

THE CAT.
^ THE Jat lias fharp claws, which flie draws
back when you carefs her : then her foot b "as foft
as velvet. Cats have lefs fenfe than dogs : their
attachment is chiefly to the houfe ; but the dog*^
is to the peifons who inhabit it.
Kittens have their eyes clofed feveral days after
their birth. The cat, after fuckling her young
foitie trnie, brings theni mice and young birds.
Cats hunt by the eye; they lie in wiait, and
fpring upon their prey,' which they catch by fui^*
prifci then fport with it, and toruient the poor
animal, till thiey kill * it* Cats fee beft in the
gloom. In a ftrong light, the pupil of the cat's
eye is contrafted almoft to a line; by'nig]u,it
fpN^ds into a large circle. Cats live in the^ houfe,
but are. not very o-be-di-ent to the owner: they arc
Itlf-willed and wayward. Cats love perfumes; they
are fond of va-le-ri-ah and marjoram. They tfif-
like w^rer, cold, and bad fmells ; they love to balk
in the fun, aqd to lie on foft beds. \ .

*THE DOG.
Lef]R)n 8*
THEdog is gifted with thatfa-ga-ci-.ty, vigUance,
and fi'dc-li-ty, which qualify him to be.tlie guard,
riie com-pa-ni-onj and the friend of man;'and happy
is he who finds a friend as true and faithful as
ihis animal> who will rather die by the fide of his
mgtfter, than take a bribe of a ftranger to betray
hiin. No other animal is fo much the com-pa-ni-on
of man as the dog. The dog undcrftands his maP-
ter by the tone of his voicfe; nay, even by his fodks
he is ready to oBey him. Dogs ^r^ very fer-vice-a-
bic to man. A aog will condufl a flock of flieep',
and will ufe no roughnefs but to thofe which drag-
gle, and then merely to bring them back. The dog
js faid to be the only animal wiio always knows his
xnaftci, and the friends of his family; who dis-tin-
giiifh-es a ftranger asfoon as he arrives j who un-
cierftands his own nanie, ahd the voice of the do-
iBefltiess and who, vvhen he has loft his mafter, calls

for him by cries ancj la-Tnen-ja-ti-ons. A dog is the
rrioft sa-ga ci-ous animal we have, and the mod ca-
pal^Ie o/e-du ca-ti-on. In m oft dogs, the kn^c of
fmelling is keen : a dog will hunt Iiis game by the
fcent; and in following his mafter, he will' flop
where the roads crofs, try which way the fcent is
(trongeft, and then purfue that.

THE LION.

THIS noble animal has a large liead, fliort round
«ars, a ihaggy mane, ftrong limbs, and a I®ng tail
tufted at the ex-tre mi-ty. His general colour is
tawny,wlnch on thebelly inclines to white. From the
nofe to the tail, afull-grownlion will meafure eight
feet. The liontfs is fcmcwhat fmallcr, ?Lnd deftitute
of a mane. Like other animals,the lion is 4ifFe61cd
by the influence of climate in a very fenfible degree.,
under the fcorching fun of Africa, where his cou-
rage is excited by the heat, he is the moll terrible
and undaunted of all quadrupeds. A fingle lion of
thedefert will often ru(h upoh a whole caravan, and
face his enemies, in-fen-fi-blo^ of fear, to the laft
gafp. To his keeper he appears to poffefs no fmaU
degree of attachment \ and though his paflions are
ftrong, and his appetites vehement, he has been
tried, and found to be noble in his refentment>
mag-na-ni-mous in his courage, and grateful in his
dif-po-fi-ti-on. His roaring is- fo toud, that it

is neither fierce nor fjiifchievous. Pacific, mild, /

of trees on which tJiey fetd; and if they enter cuj-

J Moral Tale.
IN a Tillage, at a fmall diftance from the metro-
polis, lived a wealthy hufbandtnan, wbo had two fons,
William and Thomas ; the former of whom was ex-
taijr a year older ihan the other*
^CJn the day when his fecond fon was born, the huf-
bandman (Wanted in his orchard two young apple-trees
of an equal fiae, on which he bellowed the fame care in
cultivating; and they throve fo much alike, that it was a
difficult mutter to fay which claimed the preference.
As foon as theclildren were capable or uixng garden
iinpttments, their father took them, on a fine^Hy» early
''i'l the fpring, to fee the two plants he had reared for
tbei9f and cailed after their names, WiiUain and.
Tbomas. having much admired the beauty of thefe,
treesi now filiea with bloflbmst their father told them,
ihat he made them a prefent of the trees in good con-
dition, v^bich w'ould continue to thrive or decay in pro-
portion to the labour or negle^ they received.
Tbomust though theyoungefl. fon^ turned all his at-
tention to the improvement of his tree, by clearing it of*
infers as foon as he difcovered them, and proppmg up*
the ftem that it might grow perfeAly upright. He dug
sibout it^ to loofeti the earth, that the root might receive
Dburifhment from the warititb of the fun, and the moif ' '
tureof the detfrs. No mother could nurfe her chiW
more tenderly in its infanay than Thomas did bi$ tc«e* ,
Bis brother William, however, purfued a very differ-
e^t condud ; for he loitered away ail his time in the
moft idle and mifchievotis manner, one of his prin-
cipal amuiements being to throw ftones at people as
tbej' pafled. He kent company with all &e idle bpys
In the neigfabourhoody with whom he was continually *
fighting, and was feldom without either a black eye
or a broken skin. His poor tree was negleded, and
never thoxight of till one day in autumn, when, by
chance, fcemg his brother's tree loaded with the iSneft
apples, and alrooft ready to break down tvith the weight,
he ran to his oWq tree, not doubting that he fliould tind
* in the fame plcafing condition. D,g,t,ed by Googi
a Moral Tale. 103
Grcatt indeed, were his difappointment and furprife,
^fhenr inilead offinding the tree loaded with excellent,
fruit, he beheld nothing but a few withered leaves, and
.branches covered with mofs. He hiftantiy went to his
father, and complaihed of his partiality in -giving him
a tree that was worthlefs and barren, while his brother*s
Eroduced-the mpft luxuriant fruit ; and h« thought that
is brother fhould, at least, give him half o/ his apples.
His fether told him, that it .was by^ no means rea-'
fonable that the induftrious (hould give up part of their
labourr to feed the idle, •' If 3'ouruec," fuid be •* tera
produced you nothing, it is but a juflr rqward of yoiur
indolence, fince you fee what the indullry of your
brother ha0 gainea him. Tour tree was equally full of
bloffoms, and grew in the fame foil ; but you paid no
attention ta the culture of it, ^ Your brothep fuffered no
vifible infc&s to remain on hia tree ; but you negleded *
that caution, and fuffered them to eat up the very
buds. As I cannot bear to* fee even pjants perifh
through negle&t I muft now take this tree froniyouy..
and give it t6 youi* Ktothef , whoib care and attention
may possibly reftore it to its former vigour. The fruit •
it produces (hall be hi« property, and you muft no
longer confider yourself as^ having any right in it. .
However, you may go to uay faurlery , and there choose
any other which you kj ay like bdter, and* try what
you can do with it ; but if you o^leA to take proper
care of it, I (hall take that alfo^ from you, and orive it*
to your brother as a reward for his fuperioi induftry
and attention."
This had the defired efFeft on \Villiam; who cleady
perceived the juftice and propriety of his father** rea-^j
toning, and iuttantly went into the nurfery to choofc
the moli^ thriving apple-tree he could nteet with. ' His
brother Thomas assisted him in the culture of bis tree,-
advising him in what manner to proceed ; and William
made the bcA ufeof his time, andtheiuftru&ionsheTe*

tricks, forfook the company of idle boys, applied him-

EUROPE.
In whatever light we confider Europe^ it will appear the
mofl diilinguilhed quarter of the globe, though it is the
fm^UeH. The temperature of the climate, the fertility of
the foil, the progrefs of the arts and fciences, and the eftab-
fifhmentof a mild and pure religion, render it eminently fu»
perior, particularly in modern times.
Europe is bounded on the north by the Frozen Ocean ; o^
the E&ft by Afia, and the rivers Don, Wolg^, ana Oby ; on the
South by the Mediterranean; and on the Weft by the Atlan-
tic bc^n: extending about three thoufand miles in length,
and two thoufand five hundred in breadth.
It is divided into iiiveral powerful kingdoms ^nd ft'ates ; of

ignorance and effeminacy, of its inhabitants, have com-

AMERICA.
This divifion is frequently called the New World, It was Un-
known CO the reft of the globe tiltdifcovered by Columbus, iu the year
1492. Its riches and its fertility ailured adventurersi and^^e prift-
cipal nations of Europe planted' colonies on its coails.
Spain, Portugal, England, and France, occupied fuch tracks as were
origina^y difcovered by their refpeftivc fubjefts j and with little
tegard to the rights of th^ original natives^ drove them to the interni)
j^arts, or wholly extirpated them.
The foil and cHmate of America are as variouB as nature can pro-
duce. Extending nearly nine thoufand miles in length, and three
tlu)ufand in breadth, it includes every degree of heat and cold, of
plenty and fteriliiy.

native iight : an4 roand which feveral orders of opake globes revolve j
re fleeing with more or tefs brilliancy the light they borrow from it,
anil whi'th renders them vi(ible. ^
What an augqily what an amazing conception, does this give of the.
works of (he Creator! thonfands of thoufands of funs, multiplied with*-
out-endy and ranged all round us at immenfe diftances from each other:
attended by ten thoufand times ten thoufand worlds^ all in rapid motion,

From %vhat we know of our own.fyftemy it may be.reaiuoably cohf

The Jiameter of the orbit which Viur earth dcfcribcs, is m6re then
a hundred and mnety miUions of miles; yet this vaft extent a Itn oft
Vani/lies into nothing, and becomes a mere pointi when the adrono.
TTier ufes it as a meafure to afcertaFrt the diffancc of the fixed ftars.
What then muff be the real bulk of thefe tuminartes, which are
perceptible by us at fwch an enormous diftance ! Ihe Tui) is about a
million times greater tlwn the earth, and more tha» fi^-e htwdred times
greater than aFI-the planets taken together; and if the dans are funs, as
*wc have every reafon to fuppofe, they undoubtedly e()iial or exceed it
in fize.
Pyoud and ignorant mortal* Lift up now thine eyes to heaven, and
fey, if one of thofe lunninaries which addrn the ftaiTy heaven Ihouid be
taken away, would thy nights become darker? Think not then that the
ftars are made for thee; that it is for thett that the firmament glitters
\yith effulgent brigiitnefs. Feeble mortal I thou wast not the (bic ebje^
bJF the liberal bounties of the Creator, when he appohitcd Sirius, and
encompalfed it with worlds.
While*th<i planets perform their periodical revolutions round the fun,
by which the courfe of their year is regulated, they tarn round rheirowa
•enVres, by which they obtain the alternate fuccelfion of day and night*
' ' Rut by what means arc thefe vaft bodies rufpended i^i the immenfity
©rfpace? What fccret power retains them in their orbits, and enables
them to circulate with fo much regularity and harmony ? Grayity, or
Aitra^Hon, is the powerful agent, the univerfal principle, of this
'.equilibrium and of thefe motions. It penetrates all bodies. By this
' l^owcr, they tend towards each other in a proportion relrtivc to their
bulk. Thus the planets tend towards the centre of the fyfiem; into
which they would foon have been precipitated, if the Creator, when
he formed them, had not imprefled upon them a projectile or centrifugal
force, whivh continually keeps thenvat a proper dtftance frons it.
The planets, by obeying, at the faiTH: inflant both thefe motions
defcribc a curve. This curve is an oval of different eccentricities, ac-
cording M dit: conibinartims of t>ic two active powers.

The Moon, the nctreft of all the planets to the earth, ii likewifie
that of which we have the moft knowledge. Its globe always prefents
to us the fame face, bccaufe it turns round upon its axis in precifely
the fame fpace of time in which it revolves round the earth.
It has its phafcs, or gradual and periodidal increafe and decreafe of
light, according to its poiition itt rdpeft to the fui\, which enKghtent
it, and ihc «anh, on which it reflets the light that it has received.
The face ©f the moon is divided into bright ^n<J dark parts.* The
former item to be land, and the latter to re1(cmble our seas.
lathe luminous (pots there have been obftrvcd fome parts whichare
brighter than the reft ; thefe projef^^ ihadow, the length of which hit
been meafured, and its track afceruined. Such parts are. mountains,
higher than ours in proportion to the fize of the moon : whofe tops
may be feen gilded by the rays of the fun, at the quadratures of the
moon ; the light gradually defending to their feet, till they appear
entirely bright. Some of thefe mpuntains iland by themfelves, while
in other places there arc long chains of them.
Venus has, like the moon, her phafes, fpots, and mountains. The
telefcope difcovers alfofpou in Mars and Jupiter, lliofe in Jupiter
Ibrm belts : and conliderable changes have betn fecn among thefe ^ at
if of the ocean's dverflowing the land, and again leaving it dry by its .
retreat.
Mercury, Saturn, and Herfchel, are comparatively bflit little known :
the first, becaufe he is too near the fun } the laft two, becaufe they
aie fo remote from it.
Laftly,the Sun himfelfhas fpots, which feem to move \\kh reeu.

face of our globe.
Every thing in th^unjverfe is fydemarical ; all is combination, afH.

From the relations \thich exift between all parts of our world, and
by which they coafpire to one general end, refults the harmony of
the world. , . ^
The relations which unire all the worlds to one another^ conftitute
the harmony of the univerfe.
The beauty of tbe world is founded in the harmonious diverfity of
,he beings that compofe it ; in the number, the extent, and the quality^
of their efre6ls ; and in the fum of happiocfs that arifes from it.

Sect, IIL — Syntax^ or Short Rules for Writing -and
Speaking Grammatically.
Rule i, A verb muft agree with its noun or pronoun ; as,
the man laugh/, he laugh/; the man // laughing; they an
laughing. It would be improper to fay the mart laughs he
iaugh y or the men is laughing ; they laugh/. .
Rule 2. Pronouns mult always agfee with the nouns to
which they refer ; as the pen is bad, and // fhooid be mended.
It would be improper to fay, the pen is bad and^/ fhould be
mended, or he fhould be mended, or they fhould be mended,
Ru^E 3. The pronouns mcy Us, him, her, are always p^t
after verbs which exprefs adlion, or after prepofitions > as, he
beats ;»^y (he tt'dcht^ him ; he runs from us. It would be
mproper to fay, he beats / ; (hp teaches he s or he runs from *a-^.
Rule 4. When two nouns come together, one of which be-
ongs to the o^her, the firll noun requires to have an / annexed

perfons ; as» the honfe 'whkb has been &M, or the man *wh§
bought it. It would be improper to fay the hbufe w^o h^
been fold, or the man 'which bought it.
WHEN we diftinguifh any particular fyllable in a word with
a ftrong TOtce, it iscalled acant ; but where any particular word
in afentenceisthus diftinguiihed, it iscalled emphafis, znd the
word on which thefirefs is laid is called the ^)itf/i&^/VA/ word.
Some fentences contain more fenfes than one, and thefenfe
which is intended can only be known by obferving on what
word the emphads is laid. For example t Shall you ride /#
London to-day ^ This quefHon is capable of four difFcrent fenfes,
according tp the word on which the erophafis is laid. If it be
laid on the word you, the anfwer n\ay be, <« No, but I intend
to fend myjer^ant in my ftcad." If it be on the wor& ride,
the proper anfwer may be, " No, but I intend to 'walk" If
the emphalis be placed on the word London, it is a different
queftion ; and the anfwer m«y be, '« No, for I dcfign to ride
imp the country," If it be laid on the word to-day, the anfwer
may be, «* No, but I fhall tomorrovj"
Of fuch importance fometiines is a right emphails', in deter-
mining the proper fenfcof what we read or fpeak*.
Sect. V .^^Dire£fiofts J or Reading ijcith Elegance aud
Proprifiy*,
BE careful to attain a peifeft knowledge of the nature and
found of vowels, confonants, diphthongs, &c. and give every
fyllable, and every fingle word, itsjufl and full foundl
if you meet with a word you do not underfland, do not guefs
at it, but divide it in your mind into its proper uUnalwr of
fyllables.
Avoid bem^'S, O'/, and ha^s, between your words.
Attend to your fubje£t, and deliver it in jufl the fame manner
as you would do if you were talking of it. This is the
great, general, and mod important rule of all ; which, if care-
fully obferved, will corrr & almofl all the faults of a bad pro-
nuuciation.
Let the tone and found of your voice in reading be the fame

. By the iev, David Blair, 5s. bouncf.
The auth6r has-been stimulated to compile these Ej^ercises inread^
ing, by the observation, that, although there at present exist several ex-
cellent books for teaching reading and elocution, the object of them does
■ot extend beyond the mere combination of words ; and they consist al-
most entirely of passages selected with reference to beauty of composition^
onlv. In the present work, elegance has been united with utility ; sound
ana sense have been studiously combined; and eloquence has always been
adapted to the purposes of instruction. In short, every one of the lessons
in tnis Class Book is calculated to make the young Reader both wiser and
better. His own experience as a teacher, su^ested to the author the di»
vision of his book into thr^ hundred and sixty-five lessons, or one for
eveiy dsyin.the year ; in each of which, the subject matter is generally
finished within the suitable length of a lesson. This division, it is oIik
vious, will be attended with an equal degree of convenience to the tu-
tor and pupil in the actual business of a public seminary.
