ENTIRELY NEW

SERIES OF READERS,

AND

PRONOUNCING SPELLER,

NOW COMPLETE

AND READY!

SEND FOR THE LATEST & BEST BEFORE MAKING A CHANGE. In consequence of the great success of MR. EPES SARGEANT in his specialty of preparing School Readers, there has been a large demand for new books from him; and he has consequently prepared an entirely new and improved Series of Readers.

The smaller books are beautifully illustrated, and all those improvements which constant consultation with our best teachers has suggested, are included.

We defy contradiction in saying that the Series is the Best, the Handsomest, the most Carefully Prepared, and, we may add, the Cheapest, ever published.

Mr. Sargent's long experience, careful scholarship, high culture as a literary man, and acknowledged taste, added to his admitted success in ONE Series of Readers, of which millions are still sold annually, are a guarantee that committees will find it for the interest of schools to examine his New Series before making any change.

The magazine from which compilers have taken a large proportion of their best pieces.

THE NEW FIFTH READER,

It is eminently a book FOR THE TIMES AND UP WITH THE TIMES any competing work.

We have now examined briefly some controverted points on personal pronouns. And while I disclaim all pretension to originality on these points, I would like to see in print the correct and complete declension of these pronouns as well as the correct and complete conjugation of the verb to match. Of course space would forbid it here; but I look in vain for it all in any one grammar. The reader may well ask in surprise, is that so? Well, look for yourself and see. But if this really is the case, it may well be asked, whether so much space in the pages of THE SCHOOLMASTER could be devoted to a better purpose. I think not; and yet I must forbear; though I cannot avoid the temptation to present the following neat and interesting.
