The object of this series is to supply the cottagers and humbler classes of England, 

 whose^knowledge of reading and whose vocabularies are limited, with books in clear 

 large type, composed of words the meaning of which they understand, sentences 

 which the eye can take in with ease, ideas suited to their comprehension, on subjects 

 likely to excite their interest, so that they may obtain amusement and wholesome 

 instruction without the labour which a large number of the works at present put into 

 their hands demands. 



The series will be found suitable for the poorer population of our towns, the 

 inhabitants of our coasts, and our Soldiers and Sailors in barracks and on board 

 ship ; also for reading in night schools, and for parish Libraries.
