“ The same objects which the author of this 
little work endeavoured to promote in the 
* Rural Spelling Book,’ he has steadily aimed 
to pursue in tire following pages, viz., to in¬ 
culcate useful every-day principles and facts, 
when teaching even very small words and sen¬ 
tences, keeping constantly in view the works of 
God in the phenomena of daily life, and of the 
animal and vegetable creation.” — Author's
