of a child, confifting of fhort fentences, and 
familiar and obvious expreffions, 
The generic characters do not, perhaps, 
come under this defcription ; they are for 
that reafon printed with a different type, 
and wall be eafily diftinguithed : yet a re- 
gard to fyftem, and the purpofe of inftruc- 
tion, render them neceffary. It fhould alfo 
be remember’d, that thefe terms are the 
names of vifible objeéts, and therefore the 
more eafily acquired by children: the cafe 
tee is widely different with thofe words which 
are intended to exprefs abftra@ ideas, be- 
eaufe there the ideas themfelves are not 
aulre 

att the comprehenfion of a child. It 
may be further obferved, that, in order to 
facilitate the acquirement of any {cience, it 
is effential to learn the terms which are 
generally employed by thofe who write. 
upon it. : 
This little compilation was made for the 
children of a particular family: and it is 
much at the fervice of others, who may 
approve the plan, and incline to adopt it.
