GRIOO & ELLIOT'S COMMON SCHOOL READERS. 



From the U. S. Gazette. 



Messrs. Grigg & Elliot have published a series of reading books for common 

 schools, prepared with a special reference to the progression of scholars, each les- 

 son 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." 



The compiler of the work has had a special eye to sound morals, to pure bene- 

 volence, and to the application for good of all his pieces, and hence his series com- 

 mend themselves to high approval. We have some special acquaintance with the 

 use of the works, and are glad to see that the first is a proper introduction to its 

 successor ; so that we may, and do, confidently recommend the series as eminently 

 deserving a place in schools, as well from their moral tendency, as from the adapta- 

 tion of the contents to the progression of the scholar in classes. 







From the Olive Branch, Youngstown, Ohio. 



Grigg & Elliot, of Philadelphia, Pa., have published a new series of Common 

 School Books, Nos. 1, 2, 3 and 4. They are, so far as our opinion is worth any 

 thing, worthy of being adopted by an enlightened public ; their chief excellence 

 being the moral instructions communicated. 



They are highly recommended by distinguished literary gentlemen in the east. 



Messrs. Grigg & Elliot have a variety of other School Books, which they flatter 

 themselves are equally worthy of general reception by the intelligent part of our 

 community. 



From the Harrison Republican, Cadiz, Ohio. 



We have now on our table, through the politeness of Messrs. Grigg & Elliot, of 

 No. 9, North 4th St. Philadelphia, their New Series of Common School Readers, 

 comprising Nos. 1, 2, 3 and 4. The books are particularly adapted to the West 

 and we think no way inferior to the Eclectic Readers, that have gained so much 

 celebrity among us which have been imposed upon the public at an exorbitant 

 price by the publisher. The New Series are intended to answer the place of the 

 Eclectic, at much lower prices, and embracing all of the facilities of the former. 



From the Charleston Mercury. 



Messrs. Grigg &. Elliot, Philadelphia, have published an interesting series of 

 books, which we commend to the attention of teachers. A series of Readers, 

 adapted to successive classes, which seem to us well selected and arranged. A far 

 more important series, and one long called for, in the shape of elementary scientific 

 treatises on the following subjects : MAMMALOGY : ORNITHOLOGY : HERPETOLO- 

 LOGY and ICHTHYOLOGY : BOTANY : CONCHOLOGY : ANATOMY arid PHYSIOLOGY. 

 These works are prepared by Dr. Ruschenberger, on the plan and materials of 

 similar books used in the public schools of France. They are illustrated with the 

 necessary plates, and are complete in their treatment of the subject, and undoubt- 

 edly deserve a place in our now meagre list of elementary class books of science. 

 These works are for sale by McCarter & Allen.
