' For the neglect whiui we have alluded to, it would be impossible to produce any consistent reason, rerhaps the pride of acknowledged literature could not stoop to an occupation reputed so mean, as that of compiling a Spelling Book. Vet to lay the first stone of a noble edifice has ever been a tatK delegated to honourable hands; and to sow the ftn^ il^eds of usefiil learning m the nascent mind, is an em|myment that can reflect no dis- credit on the moit illustrkms talents. Gitt sentiment* and our conduct are much more influ- enced byearly impressions than man]^ seem willing to allow. The stream will alwt^ flow tinctured with the nature of its sbprce: a jutt maxim, t humane principle, a germ of knowledge eariy imbibed, will be permanent and fixed. The mst books we read can never be foi^ot- ten, nqjr the morals they incvdcate be eradicated. Hence, in the compdation of this little Volume, care has been taken to majce ev e^ lesson or essay, at far as Ihe nature and intention 6f mt pkn would lolow, tend to some usefiil purpose of information or instruction. Even in the more easy progressive lessons, it is lioped something will be found either to please or improve.

Tom fell in the pond: they got him out, but he was wet and cold; and his eyes were shut; and then he was sick, and they put him to bed; and he was long ill and weak, and could not stand. Why did he go near the pond? He had been told not to go, for fear he should fall in; but he woi Id go, and he did fall in; it was his own fault, and lie was a bad boy. Mind and do not do the same. Lesson 17. ■ ' <.,*i .lack Hall was a L )od boy. He went to school, and took painls to learn as he ought. When he was in school, he kept to his books, till all his tasks were done; and then when he came out, he could play with a good heart, for he knew that he had time; and he was so kind that all the boys were glad to play with him. When he was one of the least boys in the school, he made all tlie great boys his friends; and when he grew a great boy, he was a friend to all that were less than he was He was not once known to light, or to use one of the boys iU, as long as he staid at school.

So Miss Uose went with her Aunt, and Miss Cox was quite glad to see her, and took her to her play-room, where they saw a Doll's house, with rooms in it; there were eiglit rooms; and there were in these roo-ms chairs, and stools, and beds and plates, and cups, and spoons, and knives, and forks, and mugs, and a screen, and I do not know what So Miss Rose was glad she had done her work, and said her task so well; for if she had not, she would have staid at home, and lost the sight of the Doll's house LESSON 4. Charles went out to walk in the fields; he saw a bird, and ran to catch it; and when they said. Do not take the poor bird; what will you do with it? He said, I will put it in a cage and keep it. But they told him he must not; for they were sure he would not like to be shut up in a cage, and run no more in the iields — wliy then should the poor bird like it? So Charles let tlie poor thing fly. LESSON B.

It was a sad tlung not to mind what was said to her LESSON 8. In the lane I met some boys; they liad a dog %vith them, and they would make him draw a cart; but it was full of great stones, and he could not draw it. Poor dog! he would have done it to please them, if he could: but liC could not move it; and when they saw that he did not, they got a great stick to beat him with, but I could not let them do that. So I took the stick from them, and drove them off; and when they were gone, I let the dog loose, and hid the cart in the hedge, where I hope they will not find it. It is a sad thing when boys beat poor dumb things: if the dog had not been good, he would liave bit them; but he was good, and ought not to have been !"»»•♦ LESSON 9. I once saw a young girl tie a strmg to a bird's leg, and pull it through the yard. But it could not go so fjist as she did; she ran, and it went hop, hop, to try to keep up with her, but it broke its poor leg, and there it lay on the hard stones, and its head was hurt; and the poor bird was soon dead.

LESSON 9. There was once a lit-tle boy, who was a sad cow-ard. He was a-fraid of al-most a-ny thing.

'U ; LESSON 11. ;-(,; '.■ :•,•>- ,, One day, in the month of June, Thomas had got all his things ready to set out on a little jaunt of pleasure with a few of his friends, but the sky became black with thick clouds, and on that ac- count he was forced to wait some time in sus- pense. Being ar last stopped by a heavy shower of rain, he was so vexed, that he could not refrain from tears; and sitting down in a sulky humour, would not suffer any one to comfort him. Towards night the clouds began to vanish; the sun shone with great brightness, and the whole face of nature seemed to be changed Ro- bert then took Thomas with him into the fields, and the freshness of the air, the music of the birds, and the greenness of the grass, filled him with pleasure. "Do you see," said Robert, "what a change has taken place? Last night the ground WHS parched: the flowers, and all the things seemed to droop. To wliat cause must we im- pute this happy change?" Struck with the folly of hiv: own conduct in the morning, Thomas was forcef to a tmit, that the useful rain which fell that vnorning, had done all this good.

I f OX IS the general name for horned ca^ s, and of all these the cow is the most usefu The desh of an ox is beef. Oxen are often sed to draw in ploughs or carts. Their flesh f ipplies us with food. Their blood is used as i manure, as well as the dung; their fat is made Into can- dles; ^heir hides, Into shoes and boots; their hair is mixed with lime to make mortar; their horns are made into curious things, as c imbs, boxes, liandles for knives, drinking cup , and instead of class for lanterns. Their boi is are used to make little spoons, knives and fOiks for children, buttons, &c. Cows give us milk, which is excellent diet; and of milk we make cheese; of the cream we make butter. The young animal is a calf: its flesh is veal; vellum and covers of books are made of the skin.

""1 mii^ ^■\ DEER shed their horns an-nu-al-ly in the spring; if the old ones do not fall off, the ani- mal rubs them gently against the branch of a tree. The new horns are tender; and the deer walk with their heads low, lest they should hit them against the branches: when they arc full- grown and hard, the deer rub them against the trees, to clear, them of a skin with which they are covered. ' >' The skins of deer are of use for leather, and the horns make good handles for common knives. Spirit of hartshorn is extracted, and hartshorn shavings are made from them. . Rein-deer, in Lapland and Greenland, draw the natives in sledges over the snow with pro- di-gi-ous swiftness. ! -:^, v:h .1 ■".. ■'. ■ ; ' < 'ir '■. ' ,• ^ ... A IS Lesson's in J^utural History. ' 5. thp: cat. la i. w THE cat has sharp claws, which she draws back when you caress her; then her foot is as soft as velvet. Cats have less sense than dogs: their attachment is chiefly to the house; but the dog's is to the persons who inhabit it. Kittens have their eyes closed several days after their birth. The cat, after suckling her young some time, brings them mice and young birds. Cats hunt by the eye; they lie in wait and spring upon their prey, which they catcl by surprise; then sport with it, and torment the poor animal till they kill it. Cats see best ir the gloom. In a strong light, the pupil of the cat's eye is contracted almost to a line; by nigh( it spreads into a large circle. Cats live in the house, but are not very o-be- di-ent to the owner: they are self-willed and Avayward. Cats love perfumes; they are fond of va-le-ri-an and marjoram. They dislike wat- er, cold, and bad smells; they love to bask in the sun, and to lie on soft 'beds. ■!. -.V**. , -t"' WMiii hMta e draws oot is as m clogs: but the il days ng her young I wait y catcl ent th< best ir of the ' nigh( o-bc' cJ and fond II B wat- isk in Lessons in Natural History 6. THE SHEEP. 70 i'-' SHEEP suppiV us with fooa: tneir flesh is called mutton. They supply us with clothes; for their wool is made into cloth, flannel, &nd stockings. Their skin is leather, which forms parchment, and is used to cover books. Their entrails are made into strings for fiddles; and their duns afibrds rich manure for the earth. The female is called an ewe. A sheep is a timid animal, and runs from a dog; yet an ewe will face a doe when a lamb is by her side: she thinks not then of her own danger, but will stamp with her foot, and push with her head, seeming to have no fear: such is the love of mothers! Sheep derive their safety from the care of man, and they well repay him for his at-ten- tion. In many countries they require the at- tendance of shepherds, and are penned up at night to protect them from the wolves; but in our happy land, they graze in se-cu-ri-ty. IT ''.■•./:;^>v 80 Lessons in Natural History THE GOAT "'!«; A GOAT i^ somewhat like a sheep; but has hair instead of wool. The white hair i? va-lu- t" u-ble for wio^s; cloth mav also be made of the goat' sfuiir. The skin oi the goat is more useful tlum that of the sheep: Goats seem to have more sense than sheej . They like to rove upon hills, are fond cf browb ing upon vines, and delicl *. in the bark of treeb Among mountains they climb the steepest rocks, and spring from brow to brow. Their young is called a kid: the flesh of kids is esteemed^ gloves are made of their skina. Persons of weak con-sti-tu-tions drink the miik of goats. Goats are verv playful; but they sometimes butt against little boys, and knock them down, when they are ieazea and pulled by the beard or horns. ^3BB5^ ' ■•'t'. . : .1 IVords of rovR Syllables. 81 ^«^ SS?^" but has 9 va-lu- of the > useful sheej . prowb tree» rocks, young emed) weak times own, )eard| J THE dog is gifted with that sa-ga-ci ty, vi- gilance, and fi-del-i-ty, which qualify him to be the guard, the com-pan-i-on,' and the friend of pian; and happy is he who finds a friend as true and faithful as this animal, who will rather die by the side of his master, than take a bribe of a stranger to betray him. No other animal is so much the com-pan-i-fmark-a-ble, and it seems to live but to serve ar.d obey him. It is quickly taught to kneel, in order to receive Us rider; and it caresses those with whom it is acquainted. , , ; , iSi jssd _'^;^/;i<-'-':;- .i;;_-.7-:','-V'':^ ■9«M 4 but the nature *acific, in its ty to 1^ with )pears wrings ms to they they s, the Lessons in JSTatural Hist07^. 85 .Hrv'r^.^_,.V>a.ii.'

It is said to subsist wholly on ve-ge-ta-We food; but some of them, which have been brought into England, have shewn a pveference for Hesh. They strike with their fore feet like a cat, seldom use their tusks, but hug their assaikmts so , closely^ that th«y almost sijueeze them to death. After becominc; pretty fat in autumn^ these animals retire to their dens, and continue six or seven weeks in total in-ac-tiv'itty and abstinence from food. The white, or Greenland bear, has a pe-cu-li- ar-ly long head and neck, and its limbs are of pro-di-gi-ous size and strength; its body fre- quently measures thirteen feet in length.

How can I disturb it.^ said the Lamb, in a Aj great fright: the stream flows from you to me; and I assure you, that I did not mean to give you any ofience. That may be, replied the Wolf; but it was only ^e^r- day that I saw your Sire encouraging thp Hounds inat were pursuing me. Pardon me! answered the Lamb, my poor Sire fell a victim to the Butcher's knife upwards of a month since. It was your Dam, then, replied the savage beast. My Dam, said the innocent, died on the day I was bom. Dead or not, vociferated the Wolf) as he gnashed his teeth in rage, I know very well that all the breed of you hate me, and therefore I am determined to have my revenge. So saying, he sprung upon the defenceless Lamb, and worried and ate liini.

On the day when the second son was born, the husbandman planted in his orchard two young apple-trees of an equal size, on which he bestowed the SBjme care in'' cultivating; and they throve so much alike, that it was a difficult matter to say which claimed the preference. As soon as liie children were capable of using ffarden implements, their father took them, on a fine day, early in the spring, to see the two plants he nad reared for them, -and called after their names. Wil- liam and Thomas having much cdmtred the beauty of thes^ trees, now filled with blossoms, their father told them, that he made them a present of the trees in good condition, which woukl continue to thrive or 'decay, in proportion to the labour or neglect they received. ;^ 'l^'^7^v>.tJH*-. Thomas, though the youngest son, turned all his attention to the improvement of his tree, by clearing it of insects as soon as he discovered them, and pro'))- ping up the stem that it might grow perfectly upright. He dug about it, to loosen the earth, that the root might receive nourishment from the warmth of the sun, and the moisture of the dews. No mother could nurse her child more tenderly in its infancy, than Thomas did his tree. His brother William, however, pursued a very dif- ferent conduct; for he loitered away all his time in the most idle and mischievous manner, one of his principal amusements being to throw stones at people as they passed. He kept company with all the idle boys in the neighbourhood, with whom he was con- tinually fighting, and was seldom without either a ■ J , ■ f:. ^mm 100 William and Tfiomai. black eye or a broken skin. His poor tree was ung- lected, and never thouffht of, till one day in autumn, when, by chance, seeing his brother's tree loaded with the finest apples, and almost ready ^ break down with the weight, he ran to his own tree,. not doubting that he should find it in the same pleasing condition. Great, indeed, were his disappointment and surr prise, when, instead of findins ttie tree lotlded with excellent fruit, he beheld nothing but a few withered leavies) and branches covered with nioss. He in-^ stantly went to his father, and complained of his par- tiality in giving him a tree that wils worthless and barren, *"hile his brother's produced the most luxu- riant fruit; and he thought that his brother should, at least, give him half of his apples. His father told him that it was by no means rea- iionable that the industrious should give up part of their labour to feed the idle. "If your tree," said he, "has produced you nothings it is but a just re- ward of your indolence, sinde you see what the in- dustry of your brother has gained him. Your tree was equally fuU oC blossoms, and grfw in the same s6il; but you paid no attention to the culture of it. Your brother suffered no visible insects to remain on his tree; but you neglected that caution, and suf- fered them to eat up the very buds. As I cannot bear to see even plants perish through neglect, I must now take this tree from you, and give it to your brother, whose care and attention may possibly restore it to its former vigour. The fruit it produce e shall be bis property, and you must no longer tton- sider yoursself as having any right in it. Howevcfr, you may go to my nursery, and there choose any oth- er you may like better, and try what you can do with it; but if you neglect to take proper care of it. I shall take that also from you, and give it to your brother as a reward for his superior industry and attention." This hud the desired effect on William; who clearly ■»^k(m>^ii MMm - '' - rtrney because it is innocent.

Moral Observations. 105 . The manners of a well-bred man are equally re- mote from insipid complaisance, and low familiarity. A good word is an easy obligation, but not to speak ill, requires only our silence, and costs us no- thing. Wisdom is the grey hairs to a man, and unspotj^ed life IS the moat venerable old age. *"' ' * « ' . Let reason go before every enterprise, and coun- sel before every action. Most men are friends for their own pui poses, and will not abide in the day of trouble. A friend cannot be known in prosperity; and an enemy cannot be hidden in adversity. 4 , |' He who discovereth secrets, loseth his credit, and will never secure valuable friendships. Honour thy father with thy whole heart, and forget not the kindness of thy mother; how canr* thou recom- pense them the things they have done for thee ? The latter part of a wise man's life, is taken up in curing the prejudices and false opinions, he had con- tracted in the former part. He who tells a lie, is not sensible how great a task he undertakes; for he must be forced to invent twen- ty more to maintain it inudtJ aid Jr. nri) £ Ka^iiluia r»: The prodigal robs his heir, the miser robs liiihself. True wisdom consists in the regulation and ffov- ernment of the passions; and not in a technical knowledge of arts and sciences. Some men miss the prize of prosperity by procras- tination, and others lose it by impatience and precipi- tancy. * -- Economy is no disgrace: it is better to live on lA little, than to outlive a great deal.

This amounts to a considerable sum where a man has laige credit, and makes good uce of it. Bemefnber that money is of a proUJic or a multiplying nature. — Money can produce money, and its offspring can produce more, and so on.

Next to in- dustry and frugality, nothins contributes more to the rauing of a man in the world, thatf punctuality and jus- tice in all his dealings: therefore never keep borrowed money an hour beyond the time promised, lest a disap- poihtment shut up your firiend's purse forever. The most trijiii^ actions that affect a man''s credit are to be regarded. — This sound of the hammer at five in Ae morning, or nine at night, heard bv a creditor, makes him easy six months longer; but if he sees you at a Bil- liard-table, or hears your voice at a tavern^ when you should be at work, he sends for his money the next aay, and demands it before it is convenient for you to pay 1km. Beware of thinking all your ovm that youpossessj and of living accordingly. — This is a mistake that many people who have credit fall into. To prevent this, keep an exact account, for some time, both of your expenses and your income. If you take the pains first to enumerate particulars, it will have this good effect: you will discov- er how wonderfully small trifling expenses mount up to large sums; and will discern what might have been, and may for the future be saved, without occasionii^ any great inconvenience. In short, the way to wealth, if you desire it, is as plain as tne way to market. It depends chiefly on two thmgs, tndftstry and frugality; that is, waste neither time nor Money, but make the best use of both. ; io /r >-■■•^--.K! . li "I'VI #■ g;2 M^^iM etttotHf RDLfiS Pok YOONG SHOPKEEPERS. ■v By Sir Richard Phillips, *-!Xv- ,1-^;. ::.«, 1. — Choose a good and commanding situation, even at a higher rate or premium; for no money is so well laid out as for situation, providing good use be made of it. 24— 'Take your shop door off the hinges at seven o'- clock every morning, that no obstruction may be oppos- ed to your customers. 3. — Clean and set out your windows before seven o'- clock;, and do this with your own hands, thsU you may expose for sale the articles which are most saleable,. and which you most w^nt to sell. '4. — Sweep. before your house; and, if required, open a footway from the opposite side of the street^ that passen- gers may think of you while crossing, and that all your neighbours may be sensible of your dUigence. 5. — ^Wear an apron, if such be the custom of your bu-> siness, and consider it as a badge of distinction, which will procure you respect and credit 6. — Apply your first return of ready money to pay debts before they are due, and give such transactions scitable emphasis by claiming discount. .i.<:*^:j~'Vii,ii, 7. — Always be found^ at home, and in some way ' em- ployed; and remember that your meddling neighbwirs nave their eyes upon you, and are constantly gauging you by your appearances. 8. — Re-weigh and re-measure all your stock, rather than let it be supposed you have nothing to do. 9. — Keep some article cheap, that you may draw cus- todiers ana enlarge your intercourse. 10. — Keep up flie exact qualitv or flavour of all articles which you nnd are approved or by your customers; and by this means you will enjoy their preference. 11.— Buy for ready-money as often as you have any to spare; and when you take credit, pay to a dayj and unasked. ; «>* •fnH-ctiM «c , 12.— No advantage will ever arise from mv ostenta^ tious display of expenditure. 13.— Beware of the odds and ends of a stock of rem- nants, of spoiled goods, and of waste; for it is in such things that your profits lie. _j_ ,. ,^^ , . ^^^. j. s.. i-'W^i iPP 14. — In serving youT customers be firm and obliging, and never lose your temper,^ — for nothing is got by it. 15. — Always be seen at church or chapel on Sunday; never at a gaming-table: and seldom at theatres or at places of amusement. l6.~|'re|(E>r* prudent aaddiscre^eititp a richMd showy wife. ,^,^..v^,; Af : '.;'>';''• i^s-'ifjH ' ■ '' riii-%C^">'*-./N,' 17. — Spend your evenings by your own nre-side, and shun a public house or a sottish club as you would a bad debt 18. — Subscribe with your neighbours to a book-club, and imjMTove your mind, that you may be qualified to use your future affluence with'credk,to yourself, and advan- tage to the public " •»<{!; ; 19. — Take stock every year, estimate your profits, and do not spend above one-fourth. 20.— -Avoid the common folly of expending your pre- cious capital upon a costly architectural front; such things operate on the world like paint on a woman^s cheek, — repelling beholders initead of attracting them. 21. — Every pound wasted by a young tradesman is two pounds lost at the end of tnree years, and two hun- dred and fifty^six pounds at the end of .twenty-four years. 22. — To avoid being robbed and ruined by apprentices and assistants, never ^ow them to go from hoitie in the evening^ and the restriction will prove equally useful to master and servant. 23. — Remember that prudent purchasers avoid the shop of an extravagant and ostentatious trader, for they justly consider, that, if they deal with him, they must contribute to his follies. 24. — Let these be your rules till you have realised your stock, and till you can take discount for prompt payment on all purchases; and you may then indulge in any degree whidi your habits and sense of prudence ' " Hi, !!• K-mA n ' suggest :iiP'ixj-i \ •kd'^'i'^Wi ii-o-iii Tsr \., . i.,^:-..-.

An Island is a tract of land surrounded by water, as Great Britain, Ireland, and Iceland, i *< A Peninsula is a tract of land surrounded by water, except at one narrow neck, by which it joins to the neighbouring continent; as ue Morea, in Greece; the Crimea, in Tartarv. An Isthmus is that neck of land which joins a penin- sula to the continent; as Corinth, in Greece; and Precop, in Tartary. A Promontory is an elevated point of land, stretching itself into the sea, the end of which is called a Cape; as the Cape of Good Hope, and Cape Verd, in Africa; and Cape Horn, in South America. Mountains are elevated portions of land, towevmg above the nei^bourins country; as the Apennines, in Italy; the Pyrenees, oetween France and Spain; the Alps, in Switzerland; and the Andes, in South America. The parts into wnich the waters are distributed, are oceans, seas, lakes, straits, gulphs, bays, creeks, and riven. The land is divided into two great continents, besides islanik, the Eastern and the Western Continents. The Eastern Continent comprehends Europe, on the north-west; Asia, on the north-east; and Africa, join- ed to Asia by the isthmus of Suez, which is only sixty miles in breadth, on the south. The Western Continent consists of North and South America, united by the isthmus of Darien, which, in Uie narrowest part, is only twenty-five miles across from ocean to ocean. Europe, Asia, Africa, and America, with some impro- priety, are denominated the four quarters of the WORLD. They differ greatly from each other in extent of country, in the nature of the climate, and the prodac- tions of me soil; in the manners, complexion, and char- acter of their inhabitants; and in their forms of govern- ment, their national customs, and religion. m ti'i vhole is a ds, peniii- • •■■ ■■■" - ' ,;uvi ontaining irely sep- merica. water, as by water, as to the iece; the I a penin- 1 Precop, tretdiing Cape; as rica; and towevmg nines, in )ain; the America, ted, are id rivers. > besides ■ope, on ica, join- tly sixty rth and , which, is across )impro- OF THE 1 extent prodac- id char- ovem- Outlinet of Geography. 127 The POPULATION of these grand divisions of the globe is by no means equal and proportionate. Asia, which has always been considered as the quarter first occupied by the human race, is supposed to contain about 500,000,- 000 of inhabitants. Tne population of Africa may be 100,000,000; of America, 35,000,000; and 150,000,000 are assigned to Europe; whilst New Holland, and the isles of the Pacific, probably, do not contain above half a million. The immense spaces, which lie between these great continents, are filled by the waters of the Pacific, the Atlantic, and the Indian Oceans, and of the seas about the Poles. The Pacific Ocean occupies iicarly half the surface of the globe, from the eastern shores of New Holland to the western coasts of America. Separately considered, Ike Pacific receives but few rivers, the chief being the Amur from Tartary, and the Hoan Ho, and Kian Kui from China; while the principal rivers of America run towards the east.. The Atlantic or Western Ocean, which is the next in importance, divides the old continent from tiie new. The Indian Ocean lies between the East Indies and Africa. The seas between the arctic and antarctic circles, and the poles, have been styled the arctic and antarctic oceans; the latter, indeed, being onlv a continuation of the Pacific, Atlantic, and Indian Oceans; while the Arctic sea is partly embraced by continents, and receives many important nvers. EUROPE. Europe is the most important division of the ^lobe, though it is the smallest. The temperature of the chmate, the fertility of the soU, the progress of the arts and sci- ences, and the establishment of a mild and pure religion, render it eminently superior to the others. It is divided into severalpowerful kingdoms and states; of which Great Britain, France, Spain, Germany, and Russia are the principal.

Spain, Portugal, England, and France, occupi^dd such tracts as were originally discovered by their respective subjects; and, with little regard to the rights of the ori- ginal natives, drove them to the internal parts, or wholly extirpated thiem. The soil and climate of America are as various as na- ture can produce. Extending nearly nine thousand miles in length, and three thousaiid in breadth, it includes every degree of heat and cold, of plenty and sterility. The great division of the continent of America, is into North and South; commencing at the isthmus of Darien, which, in some places, is little more than thirty miles over.

A BRIEF SURVEY OP THE UNIVERSE. WHEN the shades* of night have spread their veil over the plains, the firmament manifests to our view its grandeur and its riches. The sparkling points with which it is studded, are so many suns suspen- ded by the Almighty in the immensity of space, for the worlds which roll roimd them. "The Heavens declare the glory of God, and the firmament sheweth his handy-work." The royal poet, who expressed himself with such loftiness of sentiment, was not aware that the stars which he contem- plated were in reality suns. He antieipattd these times; and first j sung that majestic hymn, which future, and more enlightened ages, ijbould chant forth in praise, to the Founder of Worlds. The assemblage of these vast bodies is divided into different Sys- tems, the number of which probably surpasses the grains of sand, which the sea casta on its shores. :»■ Survey of the Universe. Each syetcni has at its centre a star, or sun, viliich shines by its own native light; and around which, several orders of opake globes revolve; refiectine, with more or less brilliancy, the light they borrow from it, and which renders them visible. What an august, what an amazing coneeption, does this give of the works of the Creator! thousands of thousands of suns, multiplied without end, and ranged all around us at immense distances firom each other: attended hv ten thousand times ten thousand Al'orlds, all in rapid motion, yet caun, regular, and harmonious, invariably keep- ing tlie paths prescribed them ; and these worlds, doubtless, peopled with millions of beings, fonned for endless progression in perfection andfeliciw! From ^diat we know of our own system, it lAay be reasonably con- cluded that all the rest are, with equal wisdom, contrived, situated,, and provided with accommodations for mtional inhabitintp. Let us therefore take a survey of the system to which we befehg, the only ; one accessible to us; and thence we shall be the better enabled toj^ judfre of the nature of the other systems of the universe. Those itan»tHiioh a|^iear to wander among the heavenly host, in the pbaeCs. The |»imanror priBcipal ones have the son for die common centre of their periedieal revohitions; while the (rthers* or secondary ones, which are palled satellites or moons, move romid tlieir primaries, accompanying Aem in their annual orbits. Our Earth has one satellite, or moon, Jupiter four, Satnm seven, and Herschel sijc. Saturn has, besides, a luminous and beautifol ring, surrounding his body, and detached from it. We know that our solar system cdnsists of twenty*«even planetary bodies, but we are not certain that there ore not roon^. The nnmber known has been considerabfy augi ented since the invention of tete- scopes; andbymore perfect instruments, and more accurate obser- vers, may perhaps be further increased. Modem astronomy has not only thiis shewn us new planets, but has also to our senses enlarged the boundaries of the selar system. The comets, whieh, from (heir fallacious appearance, their tail, thefv beard, the diversity of their directions, and their sudden appenrantse and disappearance, were anciently cmisidered as meteors, are found to be a speoies of planetary bodies: their long tracks are now calcu- lated by astronomers ; who oan foretel dieir periodical retiun, deter- mine their place, and account for tl/ > irregularities. Many of these bodies at present revolve round the ran: though the qrbits which they trace round him are so extensive, that centuries are necessaiy for them to complete a single revolution. In short, Irom modem astronomy, we leara that the stars are innu- merable; and that the constellations, in which the ancients reckoned but a few, are now known to contain thousandu. The heavenH, as known to the philosophers Thales and Hippurchus, were very poor, when compared to the state in which they are shewn by later astron- omers. The diameter of the orbit which our earth describes, is more than a hundred and ninety millions of miles ; yet this vast extent almost van-t ishes into nothing, and becomes a mere point, when the astronomer uses it as a measure to ascertain tlie distance of the fixed Stars. What I \m Suvvey of the Universt. h then must be the real bulk of these luminaries, which are prrceptihle by inatsucn an enormous diatance! The sun is about a itiillion times greater than all the earth, and more than five hundred tiines greater than all the planets taken together; and if the stars are suhh, us iVe have every reason to nippo6e,they undoubtedly equal or exceed it in size. While the phneta perform tneir periodical revolutions runnd the sun, by which die course of 'heir year is regulatedt they turn round their own centres^ by which they obtain the ahernitte succession of day and njffht. Our earth or (^lobe, which seems so vast in the eyes of the frail be- ingB who inhabit it^ and whose diameter is above seven tliousand nikle huhdrep and seventy miles, is yet nearly a thousand times smalir er than Jupiter, which appears to the naked eye as little more than a shining atpro. A rare) transparent* aqd elastic substance surrounds the earth to a certab height. This substsJice is the air or atmosphere, the recioil of tt;9 winds: an iuonense retwrvoir of vapours, whicn, when condens* ed into clouds, either embellish the sky by the variety of their figures, pjid the richness of their colouring; or astonish us l^ the rolling thunder, or flashes of lightning, that escape from them. Soitaetimes they nwlt away; and at other times are condensed into rain cur hail, supplying the deficiencies of the earA with the superfluity of heaven. The moon, the nearest of all the planets to the earth, is that of which we have the most knowledge. Its globe always presents to us the same face, because it turns round upon its axis in precisely tne same space of time in which it revolves round Uie earth. ^ It has its phases, or gradual and periodical increase or decrease of jight, according to its position jn respect to the sun^which eniighteas | It, and the ^&, on which it reflects the light that it has received. The face of ihie mi^on is divided, into bright and dark parts. The former seem to be land, and the latter to resemble our seas. In the luminous spots, there have been observed some parts vtrhich are brighter dian the rest; these project a shadow, the length of which has been measured, and its track ascertained. Such parts are m'-mtains, hif^er than ours, in proportion to tne size of the moon: \yLu8e tops may be seen gilded by the rays of the sun, at tlie quadra- tures of the moon ; the light gradoally descending to their feet^ tul they appear entirely bright. Some of these mountains stand by them- selves, while in ptjier puces there are long chains of them. ^ Venus hai;, like the n^toon, her phases, spots, and mountains. The telescope discovers also spots in Mars and Jupiter. Those in Jupiter form belts: and consideraole changes have been seen among these; as if of the ocean's overflowing the land, and again leaving it dry by ite retreat. . , • Mercury, Saturn, and Herschel, are comparatively but litUe known : the first, because he is too near tJie sun ; die last two, because Uiey are «o remote from it. • t. -* Lastly; the Snn himself has spots, which seem to move with reguw larity ; and the siie of which equals, and very often exceeds, the sur- $ice of our globe. . Every tiling in the universe is syatematical ; all is combination, al- finity, and connexion. I II ',1. >'l!f<».rVi-,'iiV..^I,*r;**,. , .vr .

(.'5'!K / . Skctiok I. — Of Letters and SyUahlet, Trk general diTifion of letters is into vowels and coa- sonants. The vowels are a, e, •', o, u, and sometimes y; and without one of these there can be no perfect sound: all the other letters, and sometimes y, are caUed consonants. A diphthong is the uniting of two vowels into one syl- lable; dAf plaint fair^ A triphthong is the uniting of three vowels into on* syllable: as.in Aeu, beauty. A syllable is the complete sound of one or more letters; as a, amfOrt. Sect.

HI. — Of the Parts ofSpeeth, or kinds af Wdrds into v>Juch a Language is divided: „ The parts of speech, or kinds of words in language, are t«»n; as follow: 1. An Article is a part of speech set before nouns, to fi^ their signification. The articles are a, an, and the, 2. A Noun is the name of a person, place, or thing. Whatever can be seen, heaxd, felt, or understood, is a noun; SLs, John, London, honour, goodness, book, pen, deskj slate, paper, ink; all these words are nouns. $. An Adjective is a word that denotes the quality of apy person, place, or thing. ;^ * ^f"^ ^ ■"] '' ' An adjective cannot stand by itsetf, but must have a noun to which it belongs; as, a good man, a Jine city, a noble action. Adjectiyes admit of comparisons; as, bright, brighter, bnghlest: «xcejpt those which cannot be ei&er increased QruiminisiH^l in their significatioh; M,^fuU, empty, round, square, entire, perfect, complete, exact, immediate. 4. A Pronoun is a word used instead of a novm. Pro- nouns substantive are those which declare ^eir own meaning: and jxronouns adjective are those which have no meanihg, unless they are joined tc a substantive. The pronouns substantive are, I, thou, he, she. it, we, y«, they* theif. Pronouns adjective are, my, thv, his, her, tiSf our, yoWi who, this, that^ those, thesj^jfihich, what, and some others. ^- *^^^' ■' * -^- '• l»!(-*»f.7-:'»i!W ' -.rw^-t*' ■*fiit.rr'" -*■■ \ p.-- *>«"->•'■ ifitfi Of the Parts of Sptick. 145 5. A Vbkb is a word that dcnoteH the acting or being of any person, place, or thiii^gj as, 1 /ouc, he futtesj men laughf horses run. . In every sentence tiicre must he a verb: in the above short example, love, hates ^ laughs rurif are verbs. An 8 is always joined to a verb after a noun in the sin- gular number, or after the pronouns he, she, or it; as, (he man ron«, he run«, or she runs. The verb 6« has peculiar variations: as, I ami thou art; he, she, or it, t«; we are; you are; they are; I toot; thou watt; he, she, or it, was; we were; ye were; Uie]f were, 6. A Participle is formed from a verb, and partici- pates of the nature of an adjective also} as, loving, teach- tng*, heard, seen. 7. An Adverb is a part of speech joined to a verb, an adjective, a participle, and sometimes to anoUier adverb, to express the quality or circumstance of it: da, yesterday I went to town; you speak tnUy; here comes John. Some adverbs admit of comparison: as, often, oftener, oftenest; soon, sooner, soonest. Tb^se may be also com- pared by the other adverba, mueht more, most, and very. Adverbs have relation to time; as, now then, latety, &,c.: to place; as, here, thete, &c.: and to number or quantity; as, once, twice, mueh, &c. 8 A Conjunction is a part of speech which joina words or sentences together: as, John and James; nei- ther the nor the other. Mbeit, although, and, keeausct but, either, else, however, if, neither, nor, thot^h, there^ fore, thereupon, unless, whereas, whereupon, wheihuer^ nOtr withstanding i and yet, are conjunctions. n»ci ajj j , fttJ^ The foregoing are always conjunctions: but ti^ese six following are sometimes adverbs; aUOi as, otherwise^ since, likewise, then. Except ana sav^ are sometimes verbs; for is sometimes a preposition; and that is some- times a pronoun. 9. A Frrpositiom is a word set before nouns or pro- nouns, to express the relation of persons, placet, or things, to each other: as, I go with him; be went Jrom me; di- vide this among- you. The prepositions are as foltow: about, above, after ^ against, among, at, before, behind, below, beneath, between, beyond, by, for, frmn, in, into, of, off, on, upon, fnter^ through, to, unto, towards, under, with, within, witho^. 146 qi'llu Paris of Spf.cch. 10.

It would be improper to say, the man tourA, he laugh; or the men u laughing; thev laughs. KoLK 2. Pronouns must alway^s agree with the nouns to whidi they refer; as, the pen is bad, and it should be mended. It would be improper to say » the pen is bad, and the should be mended, or he shoiud be mended, or theu should be mended. KvcE 9. The pronouns m«, «», Atm, her^ are always put alter verbs which express action, or after prepositions : as, he beats me; she teaches Atm; he runs from us. It would be improper to say, he beats /,- she teaches he; or he rims from tf<. Role 4. When two nouns come together, one of which belongs to the other, the first noun requires to have an # annexed to it; as, Qeorge's book, the boy»«coat. >>i*;» .1 i*^-.- «!-'.'■ ^ « or EtnphasiM. — fhrtctiuns for Hiudiffn^. 147 RvLC 5.

WHEN we distinguish any particular syllable in t word with a sttong voice, it is called acctnt; but where any particular word in a sentence is tiiti» distinguished, it is called emphasUi and the word on which tlie strou is laid, is called the emphatical word. Some sentences contain more senses than one, and the sense which is intended can onljr be known by ob^iervine on what word the emphasis is laid. For exantple : Shall ynu ride to London to-day f This question is capable of four different senses, according to the word on wnich the emphasis is laid. If it be laid o> the word you^ the an* swer may be, "No, but 1 intend to send my servaiU ih my stead." If it be on the word ride^ the proper answer may be, "No, hut I intend to walk.'* If the emphasis be placed on the word Londont it itt a different question; and the answer may be, "No, for I design to ride into the eoimlrvJ* If it be laid on the word to~duy, the an- swer may be, "No, bat I sbiJl Uhmorrow," Sect.

A semicolon ( ; ) is a note of breathing, or a pause Miile you may count two; and is used to divide the dauses of a eentence, as In the second pause of the fore- going example. .A^i:.^^^> ..^^^.^.^^-.Jl A colon ( : ) is a pause while you tnay count thfee, and is -used when the seme is perfect, but not ended; as in the third stop of the foregoing example.

When used by itself, it requires no variation of the voice, and is equal in length to the semicolon. An interrogation (?) is usf^ when a question is asked, and requires as lon^ y pause as a full stop. It is always placed after a question; as, Who is that7 A note of admiration or exclamation ( i) is used wheh any thing is expressed with wonder, and in good pro- nunciation requires a pau':e somewhkt longer than the period; as. How great %s thy mercy y Lord of Hosts! ! A oarenthesis Q is used to include words in a sentence,^ whicD may be left out without injury to the sense; as, )Ve all {including my brother) went to London. A caret (a) is used only in writing to denote that a ^ corrupt letter or word b left out, as. Evil communications good mantiers. a The hyphen (-) is used to separate syllables, and the parts of compound words, as, watch-ing^ well'taugkt. The apostrophe (') at the head of a letter, denotes that a letter or more is omitted; as, hv*d, tho\ for loved^ though, iic. It is also used to mark the possessive «ase; .as, the ktng;*s ntvy^ meaning the king his navy. • Quotation, or a single ot^uble comma turned, (') or (* ) is put at ths beginning of speeches, or such lines as are extracted out ofother authors.
