Price Is. 6d. This book is written by T. J. Livesey, Esq., Professor of Education in Hammersmith Training College; Author of "How to Teach Arithmetic," "6 Scholarship Answers," etc. It is a practical work on the subject of teaching reading, and will be a great aid to Principals of Schools, Pupil Teachers, Students in Training, and Assistants. The Irish Teachers' Journal says: "This is a very interesting book, and is evidently the production of a master-hand. Under the heading 'Methods of Teaching Reading' the author deals systematically, and in a clear and incisive style, with the alphabetic, the phonic, the phonetic, the look-and-say, and the mixed methods. Under all the subdivisions the author gives full illustrations, with the arguments for and against each particular method. Subsequent chapters deal exhaustively with the first stages of reading, and the qualities of good reading under the subheads of enunciation, pronunciation, fluency, intelligence, expression, and feeling. The practical steps in a reading lesson, and a series of elaborate Notes of Reading Lessons, complete the work. We are bound to say it is an admirable treatise." The Irish Educational Journal says: "We have perused the book with the greatest pleasure, and we confidently say it is the best work on the subject we have met.' The School Guardian says: "It is a thoughtful effort to simplify the hardest task a teacher has to discharge." Moffatt's Alphabet Sheet, printed in two colours, red and black.

The Schoolmaster says: "The style of writing is bold and beautiful. The chief point of excellence is the graduation. Every difficulty is analysed. Without such lessons there can be no certainty of success. Printed in excellent style. The Teacher's Assistant says: "These copy books have several valuable characteristics. They have no unnecessary and difficult flourishing. We strongly recommend them; they deserve to be extensively used." The Educational Times says: An excellent series of copy books; the various processes of arithmetic being combined with the writing copies-a good idea, we think." The Educational News says: "It is difficult to conceive of a youth patiently and carefully working through this series without becoming a good writer." The The Teacher says: The writing is round, readable, and withal pretty. head-lines are set by one used to teaching. The paper is good. We doubt whether there is a better series.
