sed, entitle this little Work to general adoption and prefe rencf 

 in all preparatory and f rut schools, and among those mothers ivbo 

 teach their own infants. 



1. It is printed on a superfine paper, on a very Urge and 

 clear type. 



2. The first set of letters are sf an unusually large size, 

 being an inch square, and the second set of great and small 

 letters are illustrated with cuts of familiar objects. 



3. The reading lessons begin with words or only two let- 

 ters, and proceed to those of three and four letters, and final- 

 ly, by simple gradations, to those of two and three syllables. 



4. Every lesson is decorated with a beautifully- engraved 

 familiar object, rendering the whole number of pleasing cuts 

 in the work nearly one hundred. 



5. The work is closed with suitable Prayers and Hymns, 

 adapted to the first age. 



6. Vulgar and lew expressions have been studiously avoid- 

 ed, and an endeavour has been made in every part to unite 

 simplicity with elegance. 



In a word, it may be fairly asserted, that the London Pri- 

 mer, or First Book, need only to be, seen to be preferred 

 both by children themselves, and by their Parents and Teach- 

 ers, to every other work of the same description. There 

 are several contemptible piracies of it, against which tb 

 public should be on their guard.
