Introduction to the English reader or, A selection of pieces in prose and poetry - Couverture souple
Présentation de l'éditeur
Encvlish Reader, and the Sequel to that performance, having met with a favourable reception from the publick, the compiler has been induced to prepare a small volume, on a similar plan, for the use of children who have made but little progress in reading. It has been his aim to form a comoilation, which would properly conduct the your. learner from the Spelling-book to the English Reader; and in prosecuting this design, he has been particularly careful to select such pieces as are adajited to the undei -standing, and pleasing to thetaste, of children. A work calculated tor different classes of young reaileis should cmitain pieces suited, in point of language and mat-, ter, to their various ages and capacities. The compiler, ia conformity with this idea, has endeavoured to arrange tri Cmaterials of each chapter so as to form an easy gradation, which may be adapted to the different progress of the learners. Judi :iaus teachers will know how to apply this arrangement to the years and abilities of their pupils. Care has been taken to render the language of all the pie ces correct and perspicuous: that the young learner may improve in style as well as in reading, and insensibly acquire a taste for accurate composition. To imbue the tender mind with tlie love of virtue and goodness is an especial object of the present work: and, with this view, the pieces have been scrupulously selected ;and, where necessary, purified from every wor and sentiment that could offend the most delicate mind.
