MACMILLAN'S COPYBOOKS. 



MESSRS. MACMILLAN & CO. beg to call attention to their New Series of Copybooks, which 

 are now ready, and which they believe will be found thoroughly satisfactory. 



The preparation of these COPYBOOKS has been entrusted to a gentleman who for many 

 years has taught writing in one of our large schools, and the method adopted is therefore based on 

 ripe experience. In the mechanical production no pains have been spared. The paper has been 

 specially manufactured, and in view of the rough usage to which they are likely to be subjected, 

 the books are bound with wire. 



In those Copybooks to which it is best adapted a new feature is presented by the use of 

 GOODMAN'S PATENT SLIDING COPIES. By a simple device the copies, which are 

 printed upon separate slips, are arranged with a movable attachment, by which they are adjusted 

 so as to be directly before the eye of the Pupil at all points of his progress. It enables him, 

 also, to keep his own faults concealed, with perfect models constantly in view for imitation. 

 Every experienced Teacher knows the advantage of the slip-copy, but its practical application 

 has never before been successfully accomplished. This feature is secured exclusively to 

 Macmillan's Copybooks, under Goodman's Patent. An inspection of books written on the 

 old plan, with copies at the head of the page, will show that the lines last written at the 

 bottom are almost invariably the poorest. The copy has been too far from the Pupil's eye 

 to be of any practical use, and a repetition and exaggeration of his errors have been the 

 result.

"*i. Initiatory Exercises and Short Letters.
