NELSON AND SONS, LONDON, EDINBURGH, AND NEW YORK. 66 REVIE W S. From the SCHOOL BOARD CHRONICLE, March 22, 1884. Regarding Nos. I., II., and III. The recasting of the Series has never before been carried out to so large an extent as in this edition. There are numerous new lessons, new illustrations, and fresh methods of helping child and teacher. But the old characteristics of variety, of good feeling, of purity, and of brightness remain, with the well-known excellence of paper, type, and illustrations. More numerous than ever are the additions to the ordinary text of the reading lessons, such as instructions in recitation; school songs with music; exercises on a large and varied scale upon the lessons, orthographical, grammatical, etc." From the SCHOOLMASTER, May 10, 1884.-Regarding No. IV. This new volume has reading lessons, spelling, poetry for repetition, and a few songs set to music, combined in the one book. The lessons are nearly all new, and selected so as to be both attractive and instructive. At the end of each lesson 66 the new words are prominently placed before the pupil; all difficult or unusual words are explained; a summary of the chapter follows; and a brief grammatical exercise forms the conclusion. In the prose selections a group of questions is added. The volume is admirably drawn up in every particular, whether mechanical or literary, and will no doubt be as popular as any book yet issued among the Royal Readers." From the PRACTICAL TEACHER, August 1884.-Regarding No. V. "In the Standard V. book a novelty is introduced in a series of consecutive readings from Uncle Tom's Cabin.' The story is completely told, although, of course, much shortened, the actual quotations from Mrs. Stowe's famous work being linked together and made into a continuous narrative by well-written paragraphs from the pen of the editor. Every possible assistance is given both to teachers and children in this series. The Royal Readers have always been popular, and this new series, adapted to the latest requirements of the Department, will doubtless be warmly greeted by teachers." "This From the SCHOOLMASTER, August 2, 1884.-Regarding No. V. reading book well sustains the reputation of the series. The pages of spelling, meanings of words, and those on the formation of nouns, verbs, and adjectives, will be found very useful. The book also contains a selection of poetry suitable for fifth standard repetition. The volume is one that we can strongly recommend."
