THE F!NCH PRIMER. Square i2mo. Boards. 90 pages. Fully 
illustrated. With colored pictures. For introduction, 30 cents. 
This is a genuine nature primer adapted to the youngest 
readers. The lessons are upon leaves, flowers, fruits, birds, 
animals, the snow, and the simplest things in nature arranged 
according to the seasons. 
The lessons, until after the holidays, are in engraved 
vertical script ; then for a few pages both script and print 
are given. The remainder of the book is in print. There 
are three hundred new words. Each word is repeated 
as many times as is consistent and necessary without sacri- 
ficing literature to repetition. 
It contains a number of colored plates and forms alto- 
gether one of the most beautiful and suggestive primers ever 
published. 
THE FINCH FIRST READER. Square i2mo. Cloth. 145 pages. 
Illustrated. With colored pictures. For introduction, 30 cents. 
Following the plan outlined in the Primer, the “ Finch 
First Reader presents carefully graded lessons appropriate 
to the seasons of the year. The varied interests of child 
life are pictured by stories about children, animals, plants, 
great men whom children can be taught to love and appre- 
ciate, typical industries, as harvesting in the fall, ice-cutting 
in the winter, and planting in the spring. 
Words from the vocabulary of the Finch Primer have 
been freely used, with nearly five hundred additional words. 
This reader presents an unusually large amount of reading 
matter, and it may follow or be used in connection with the 
Finch Primer or any other primer of the same grade.
