GRIGG & ELLIOT'S COMMON SCHOOL READERS. 



From the Philadelphia Gazette. 



These are four little volumes to be used in schools, as reading books. They 

 afford progressive exercises for the learner in the art of reading, at the same time 

 that they convey a large amount of useful knowledge, particularly adapted to the 

 vrants of the rising generation of this country. This is a most important part of 

 elementary instruction, to which less than due attention has been paid. We cor- 

 dially endorse the commendation of the series given by Professor Frost, of the 

 High School. 



From the Alabama Reporter, Talladega. 



Messrs. Grigg & Elliot, of Philadelphia, have kindly sent us a copy of then* 

 series of Common School Readers, numbered 1, 2, 3 and 4. We have examined 

 them carefully and find them first rate books for children just commencing to read, 

 number 2 being for those a little further advanced, and number 3 for those still 

 further. Their moral tendency is unexceptionable, and withal they amuse the 

 learner, while they convey instruction in the rudiments of the most valuable arts 

 and sciences, and history. We take great pleasure in recommending them with 

 confidence to parents, teachers, and all those who have the care of the young of 

 either sex. The books are for sale by Messrs. John Hardie & Co. of Mardisville. 



From the Philadelphia Enquirer $ Courier. 



Messrs. Grigg & Elliot, No. 9 north Fourth street, have just published Nos. 1, 

 2, 3 and 4 of their new series of Common School Readers. These are among the 

 best works of the kind that are issued in our country. Professor Frost, of the 

 High School, recommends them to the especial attention of parents, teachers and 

 school committees, and says they are calculated to be eminently interesting to the 

 young, from the happy style of narration, dialogue and description, which pervades 

 the series ; but their chief excellence is their unexceptionable moral tendency. 

 They are issued in a cheap and substantial form, and are sold at very low prices. 



From the North American. 



Messrs. Grigg & Elliot have issued four books, designed as progressive exer- 

 cises in reading, for the use of learners. The object of publications of this kind is 

 an important one, and, until of late years, it has not sufficiently engaged the atten- 

 tion of those who labour especially in the cause of juvenile instruction. The plan 

 of these books is to afford not only exercises in reading as an art, but to convey at 

 the same time, peculiarly useful knowledge for the rising generation of this country. 

 We cordially endorse the commendation of the series given by Professor Frost, of 

 the High School. 



From the Democratic Recorder, Fredericksburg, Va. 



We are indebted to the publishers, Messrs. Grigg & Elliot, Philadelphia, for a 

 new series of reading books for schools, just issued by them. We have examined 

 them with care, and recommend them with much pleasure. The introductory le-
