GRIFFITH & FARRAN'S POETICAL READERS.

The object of the compiler has been to provide the young with a repertory-full, varied, artistically arranged, and carefully graduated, of high class, and at the same time suitable poetry. The collection consists almost entirely of complete poems. They are arranged in four parts, the first part containing the simplest pieces, and the last the most difficult. A few pages of explanatory matter has been appended to each part, but it has been thought desirable to make the notes as few in number and as concise as possible. The book will thus, it is hoped, perform a double function. In the four parts it will be suitable as a series of reading books for use in elementary and other schools, while, as a complete volume, it will be a most suitable book for presentation.

Messrs. GRIFFITH & FARRAN beg to announce that they hav 1 in active preparation, and will shortly publish, a

NEW SERIES of SCHOOL READING BOOKS,

TO BE ENTITLED, THE

"STANDARD AUTHORS" READERS.

By the EDITOR of 'POETRY for the YOUNG.'

The Books have been planned throughout to meet exactly the requirements of the New Mundella Code. They will be well printed from clear type, on good paper, bound in a strong and serviceable manner, and will have interesting and useful Illustrations from beginning to end.

In the Infants' Books of the Series, very careful graduation in the introduction of sounds and words will be combined with that great desideratum in Infants' Readers, an interesting connected narrative form.

The distinctive features of the Series in the Higher Books will be that the passages selected (both prose and poetry) will be taken from the works of Standard Authors, thus complying with the requirements of the New Code, and that they will be of such a nature as to awaken, sustain, and cultivate the interest of youthful readers.

The Explanatory matter will be placed at the end of each Book (so that children may, at the discretion of the teacher, be debarred access to it), and will take the form of three appendices :

(a) Explanatory Notes.

(b) Biographical Notes.

(c) A Glossary of Rare or Difficult Words.

The compilation has been made with the utmost care, with the assistance and advice of gentlemen long conversant with the requirements of Public Elementary Schools; and the Publishers feel that the literary, artistic, and mechanical excellences of the Books will be such that the series will be pronounced

The "Ne Plus Ultra" of School Reading Books.

The Books for Standards V., VI., and VII. will be ready shortly, and Specimen Pages and full Prospectuses, with Tables of Contents of the various Books, are preparing for distribution to all teachers applying for them.
