THE CLASS BOOK, or THREE HUNDRED 

 and SIXTY-FIVE READING LESSONS 'for 

 SCHOOLS of either Sex : combining the elements 

 of all knowledge, with a, greater number o reading 

 exercises, from the best authors, than are to be. 

 found in any other work of the same description: 

 every lesson having a clearly.defined object, and 

 teaching some principle of science ct morality, of 

 some important truth. By the Rev. DAVID 

 BLAIR. A new edition, 'printed oh good paper, 

 and in a clear type, price 53. bound, with the full 

 allowance to schools. 



The Author his been stimulated to compile these Exer* 

 cises in reading, by the observation, that, although there at 

 present exist several excellent books for teaching rending 

 ai;d elocution, the object of them does not extend beyond 

 the mere combination of words; and they consist almost en- 

 tirely of passages selected, with reference to beauty of com- 

 position only. In the present Work, elegance has been uni- 

 ted with utility; sound and sense have been studiously com- 

 bined ; and eloquence has been always adapted to the puipo-e* 

 of instruction. In short, every one of the lessons in this Class 

 Book, is calculated to make the .young reader both wiser and 

 better. His own experience as a teacher suggested to the 

 Author the division of his book into thiee hundred and six- 

 ty-rive lessons, or one for every day in the year ; in each of 

 which the subject matter is generally finished within the suit- 

 able length or a lesson. This division, it is obvious, will he 

 attended with an equal degree of convenience to the teacher 

 and pupil in the actual business of a public seminary.
