SCIENTIFIC, HISTORIC, and SCRIPTURE
READERS.

The Scientific Reader. Fcap 8vo, 224pp., cloth, 1s. 6d. Of these Supplementary Reading Books the SCIENTIFIC READER is the first, and comprises reading lessons in most branches of science to which it is desirable to call the attention of the youthful learner, viz.. Zoology, Botany, Mineralogy, Geology, Astronomy, Architecture, and Physical Geography, in combination with others on the Properties of Matter, the Laws of Motion, Mechanics, the Pressure and Motion of Liquids, the Atmosphere, Sound, the Eye, Heat, Meteorology, Electricity, and Chemistry. To some of the lessons a Glossary of Difficult Words and Scientific Terms has been prefixed, while to cthers lists of words of a similar kind have been appended as Exercises in Meanings and Derivation for the pupil to prepare after the manner of the Glossaries,

The Historic Readers. DIVISIONS I. and II. (each 240pp.), F'cap 8vo, cloth, 1s. 6d. each. A series of selections from various histories and other works by writers of acknowledged merit. Division I. comprehends the period of English History which extends from the invasion of Britain by Julius Caesar to the death of Queen Elizabeth; while Division II. embraces that which extends from the accession of James I. to the present time. In order to maintain the chain of history unbroken from beginning to end, an Historical Epitome of the events of each reign has been prefixed to the selected portion of history in immediate connection therewith. The epitomes are written in such a manner as to serve the double purpose of Reading Lessons and a Chronological Summary of Events; and thus the Historic Readers are made to serve as effectual remembrancers of the principal events in our country's history.

The Scripture Reading-Book. Containing a Series of Lessons from Holy Scripture for the use of Schools and Private Families. By the Rev. R. ADAMS, M. A. F'cap 8vo, bound in strong cloth, 1s. 6d. -The SCRIPTURE READING BOOK is to enable teachers to put into the hands of their scholars a series of narratives, didactic and prophetical selections from Holy Scripture, which will give a comprehensive view of the sacred volume without necessitating its constant use. the same time it should be remembered that it is not intended to attempt to drive the Bible from the school, but rather to forin a basis upon which the future study of the Bible may become more casy and profitable.

PREFACE.

[ocr errors]

Teach the Bible from the Bible itself."-Congress of Church School Managers, Leeds, 1877.

No

THIS book gives the authorised version of the historical portions of the Books of Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy, arranged in Lessons, with Analyses, Notes, and Summaries. other book need be used with it, for it at once takes the place of the Bible, without superseding it, and also the handbooks now in such common use by students. It is so arranged that there is a lesson to learn and a lesson to read upon nearly every subject, and the summaries at the heads of the lessons may with advantage be revised alone, just before examination.

Important texts to be committed to memory are printed in larger type.

M. T. Y.
