MY SCHOOLS AND MY TEACHERS, by Mrs. A. 

 H. Lincoln Phelps. 



The author's design, in this work, is to describe the Common Schools 

 as they were in New-England at the begmning of the present century ; 

 to delineate the pecuhar characters of different Teachers ; and to give 

 a sketch of her various school companions, with their progress in after 

 life, endeavoring thereby to show that the child, while at school, is 

 forming the future man, or woman. 



It is not the intention of the Publishers to drive these 

 works through the Press with a railroad speed, in the hope 

 of securing the market, by the multiplicity of the publica- 

 tions cast upon the community; they rely for patronage, 

 upon the intrinsic merits of the works, and consequently 

 time must be allowed the writers to mature and systematize 

 them. The more surely to admit of this, the two Series 

 will be issued in sets of five and ten volumes at a time. 

 Besides the advantage above alluded to, that will result 

 from such an arrangement, it will place The School Li- 

 brary within the reach of those Districts, which, from the 

 limited amount of their annual funds, would not otherwise 

 be enabled to procure it. 



The works will be printed on paper and with type ex- 

 pressly manufactured for the Library; will be bound in 

 cloth, with leather backs and corners, having gilt titles 

 upon the backs, and for greater durability, cloth hinges 

 inside of the covers. 



The larger Series will be furnished to Schools, Academies, 

 Slc, at sevenhj-Jive cents per volume, and the Juvenile Sey-ies 

 at forty cents per volume ; which the Publishers advisedly 

 declare to be cheaper, than any other series of works that 

 can be procured at home or abroad, bearing in mind their 

 high intellectual character, and the style of their mechanical 

 execution. 



The Publishers solicit orders from School Committees, 

 Trustees, Teachers, and others, for either or both Series, 

 and wish particular directions how, to whom, and to what 

 place the books shall be forwarded. 



Annexed are Specimen Pages of the two Series.
