DAILY LESSON BOOK, No. I.

24mo, 48 pp. Lessons in Prose and Verse, intended to furnish Moral and Intellectual Instruction, in Words of One Syllable only. 3d.

DAILY LESSON BOOK, No. II.

18mo, cloth, strong, 120 pp. Forty Prose Lessons, and Forty Poetical ones, and a separate and complete Course of Spelling. 1s.

Instead of a multitude of words, which only burden the mind, such only are given as represent families or classes;-then the names of common things; then terms which describe qualities; then a careful selection of verbs; and finally, words of irregular formation. By this means a child, by committing to memory only sixteen short pages, will be able to master the orthography of any ordinary word in the language.

DAILY LESSON BOOK, No. III.

192 pp., 12mo, cloth, strong. 1s. 6d.

In Prose and Poetry, with Analyses and Simultaneous or Gallery Lessons. Each day's Lesson includes, first, a Text of Holy Scripture, which may serve as a motto for the day; secondly, a Brief Poetical Extract, adapted to improve the taste and excite the affections; and lastly, an Exercise in General Reading.

The Poetry will be found to favour loving and trustful feelings, a taste for the enjoyment of natural scenery, and the cultivation of an humble, contented, and domestic spirit. The Prose Pieces include extracts relating to Natural History, Travels, Home and Foreign Productions, the Elements of Political Economy, Slavery, War, Temperance, Economy, Cleanliness, Trustworthiness, Obedience to Laws, Sanctification of the Sabbath, Piety, &c.

The Analyses are prepared on a new plan, including not merely the Roots of Words, but everything requisite to the most exact understanding of the Lesson, as well as to the practical application of it, both to the intellect and to the heart.
