GRIGG & ELLIOT'S COMMON SCHOOL READERS. 



From the Indiana State Journal, Indianapolis, Ind. 



Our friend Davis has now for sale a new and valuable lot of books, among 

 which is a very valuable series of School Books, viz : Grigg <$ Elliot's New Series 

 of Common School Readers. These Readers are comprised of four parts adapted 

 to the youngest and more advanced class of children. We have attentively exa- 

 mined these books, and have no hesitation in recommending them as the cheapest 

 and most useful series that has come under our observation. 



From the Sangamo Journal. 



We have received from Messrs. Grigg & Elliot, Philadelphia, a scries of read- 

 ing books for common schools; "prepared with a special reference to the pro- 

 gression of scholars, each lesson referring to some subject of interest to the young, 

 so that the pupil will have an interest in his lesson, and not read merely because 

 'it is his turn now.' " 



From the Galena Sentinel. 



Grigg & Elliot's new series of Common School Readers, comprising four num- 

 bers, have been laid on our table ; they will be found for sale at the store of F. & 

 N. Stahl. After giving them a careful examination, we cannot give them a better 

 recommendation than the flattering notices we have seen, from John Frost, LL.D., 

 Professor of Belles Lettres in the Philadelphia High School, and others. 



From the Caddo Gazette, Shreeveport, La. 



We have received from Messrs. Grigg & Elliot, of Philadelphia, through our 

 fellow townsman, J. W. Morris, four numbers of the Common School Reader, 

 designed for the use of common schools and families. From the examination 

 which we have given them, we are compelled to say that they are admirably 

 adapted to the purposes for which they were designed. No. 1 contains a series of 

 simple narratives entirely within the comprehension of any child, and the syllables 

 are divided so as greatly to facilitate pronunciation. Nos. 2 and 3 contain, the first, 

 familiar stories, well calculated to interest the youthful mind; the last a " Moral 

 Instructor and Guide to Virtue, being a Compendium of Moral Philosophy with 

 Practical Rules for the Conduct of Life." The books possess much merit, and 

 we doubt not that they will eventually obtain general circulation and use. 



From the Highland Messenger, Asheville, N. C. 



We have received from the publishers, Messrs. Grigg & Elliot, of Philadelphia, 

 copies of their series of Common School Readers, Nos. 1, 2, 3 and 4. They have 

 been recently published, and we have no hesitancy in recommending them to pa- 

 rents and teachers, on account of their great moral excellence, as well as their per- 

 fect adaptation to the wants of the community, as a complete and thorough system 

 of instruction in reading.
