THE END OF THE HAND-BOOK OF ANGLO-SAXON ROOT-WORDS. THE end of a good book is better than its beginning. It adds something to our knowledge. Let us see what the Hand-Book of Anglo-Saxon Root-words has added. It is wise to look back, and gather up all we have seen and learned by the way. FIRST PART. THE FIRST PART led us to a knowledge of words. We learned much about spoken and written words, and the ways of writing and spelling them. Letters, sounds and speech were explained. SECOND PART. THE SECOND PART made us master of one thousand rootwords. We began at home, and went out over all the things lying between home and heaven, and named them; learned the first and common meanings of these names, and used them in sentences. We returned, and went forth the second time over the same things, and named their qualities. Again, we returned, and went forth the third time over the same things, and named their actions. THIRD PART. THE THIRD PART led us to the BEGINNINGS of these one thousand root-words. We saw them come forth from the lips. The organ of speech is the instrument of words. The body and all its parts aid this organ, and help it to words. So does the world. The soul uses all these, and is the fount of all words. God is their maker in forming the soul for speech, and teaching man to speak. Great pains have been taken to make these books superior to any other reading-books in use, by reducing them to a complete practical system, founded on the nature of the language, by which the proper dellvery of all sentences may be determined, and Reading elevated to the rånk of a science. The proper and thorough use of these books places it in the power of every pupil to become an accomplished reader. The selections will be found to contain some of the finest gems in the language, which cannot fail of interesting the pupil, and cultivate a literary taste. The First and SECOND READERS introduce successively the different parts of speech, and are designed to combine a knowledge of their grammatical functions with the meaning and pronunciation of words. THE THIRD AND FOURTHI READERS commence with a series of exercises on articulation and modulation, containing numerous examples for practice on the elementary sounds (including errors to be corrected}, and on the different movements of the voice produced by sentential structure, by emphasis, and by the passions. THE COURSE OF READING comprises three parts: the first part containing a more elaborate description of elementary sounds and of the parts of speech grammatically considered, than was deemed necessary in the preceding works; part second, a complete classification and description of every sentence to be found in the English, or in any other language; part third, paragraphs; or sentences in their connection unfolding general thoughts, as in the common reading-books. The ELEMENTS OF READING AND ORATORY closes the series with an exhibition of the whole theory and art of Elocution exclusive of ges ture. It contains, besides the classification of sentences, the laws of punctuation and delivery deduced from it, the whole followed by carefully selected pieces for sentential analysis and vocal practice.
