Dr Morell, in the preface to his "Grammar of the English Language," says (May 1865),—" As great care was taken to adapt this book [the -Poetical Reading-Book] to the requirements of teachers using the Grammar, and special marks invented for indicating the correct analysis of the poetical extracts contained in it, I take the present opportunity of recommending it to the attention of the higher classes of schools in the country."

OLIVER AND BOYD'S EDUCATIONAL WORKS.

English Composition for the Use of Schools. By ROBERT ARMSTRONG, Madras College, St Andrews; and THOMAS ARMSTRONG, Heriot Foundation School, Edinburgh. Part I. 14th Edition. 1s. 6d. -Part II. 5th Edition. 2s.-Both Parts in one, 3s.-KEY, 2s. Economy of time in the class-room has been prominently kept in view in the compilation of the work. The exercises, which are so planned as to afford ample employment to the pupils when left to themselves, proceed upon a system of gradation intended to render their progress easy and interesting. They will also be found convenient for home work; and, when performed, it is recommended that they should be criticised by the master in presence of the class. Those prescribed for Oral Composition, in particular, will afford him a favourable opportunity of illustrating and suggesting in that familiar style so much calculated to give confidence, and produce advantageous results, in this branch of education.

Keeping in view that the great end of Composition is to cultivate habits of thought and discrimination, the authors have made it their aim to divest the exercises, as much as possible, of a mechanical character.
