The fables and stories are suggestive. In the hands of a good teacher every lesson should provoke thought and create a love of reading. An intelligent child will perceive the truth, and reason out the philosophy underlying the fables without much difficulty. A concise vocabulary is placed at the head of each lesson, and is followed by a selection of words likely to present difficulty in spelling. The thanks of the Editor are due to Mr. John Taylor for contributing largely to the prose matter of the book. |
