"For teaching writing I would recommend the use of Darnell's Copy Books, 



I HAVE NOTICED A MARKED IMPROVEMENT WHEREVER THEY HAVE BEEN USED." 



Report of Mr. Maye (National Society's Organizer of Schools) to the Worcester 

 Jjiocesan Board of Education. 



"As to the necessity of some one proposing a new way to teach writing, I do not 

 think it is needed. Let a London Clerk inspect one of Mr. Darnell's Copy Books 

 (I believe they are- most generally in use in our schools), and I think he will say that, 

 with a moderate amount of care on the part of the teacher, THE RESULT MUST BE A 

 LEGIBLE, CLEAR HAND- WRITING.'"' An Essex Schoolmaster ; National Society's Monthly 

 Paper. 



The Times says : " This gentleman has conferred a great benefit, not only on the 

 rising generation, but on those who will hereafter form the rising generation. He 

 has composed a series of Elementary Treatises, in which the comprehension of the 

 at-t or science taught is so much facilitated that children of the dullest capacities are 

 made capable of comprehending what is required of them, whilst teachers are 

 relieved from the difficulties of imparting knowledge in the desultory and incom- 

 prehensible manner too often practised."
