New Graded Reader, Number Five. BEAUTIFULLY PRINTED ON TINTED PAPER, FULLY AND ELEGANTLY ILLUSTRATED; HANDSOMELY AND SUBSTANTIALLY BOUND IN CLOTH. HIS book is designed for pupils who have completed the study of the fourth book of the writers, and are of such a character as to interest the young mind while imparting information and developing intelligence and thoughtfulness. Definitions of the most difficult words, alphabetically arranged, are appended to each lesson, and the etymological analysis of them shown, when sufficiently regular to be presented without extended or technical explanation. These lessons are designed to serve as an introduction to the important study of word analysis. The Analysis of the subject-matter, by topics, is given at the end of very many of the lessons, as a guide to the teacher; and an elocutionary analysis is also appended wherever it was deemed requisite, with references to the principles and notes presented and explained in the Introduction. All allusions to persons, places, and subjects deemed to be beyond the previous reading or study of such pupils as may use this book, are carefully explained in foot-notes; a proper use of these will tend to encourage the habit of inquiry and research, - a very important matter in connection with the general object of this branch of instruction. In the selection of subjects for the illustrations, the guiding principle has been to attract the attention of the pupil to points of enduring interest, and to impart information through the conceptive faculty in regard to objects a true idea of which could in this way only be conveyed. These illustrations have been drawn and engraved by the best artists, and will challenge a comparison with those of any other book of the kind hitherto presented to the public. (Specimen of Illustrations of Fifth Reader; the type, size, and style of page are the same as in the Fourth Reader.) Published by Ivison, Blakeman, Taylor, & Co., 138 and 140 Grand Street, New York. July 15, 1873. E beg to call the attention of teachers and educationists to the American Educational Readers as books suitable to the requirements of schools. They will be found, we think, in every way worthy of examination and comparison, in so far as adaptation, gradation, excellence, beauty of manufacture, and cheapness are concerned. The series is now complete, excepting a slight delay in the issue of the FIFTH READER. This will be ready by AUGUST 1st, and though no price has yet been fixed for the book, we can say that the figure will be proportionate to that of the other books of the series. Correspondence is solicited with reference to the introduction of these Readers, and can be addressed to us, or to our agents, as may be most convenient.
