 ^ liin fulluwni;,^ niaimol \va,, jv/oparod, ovloinallv, for tlie use of thi- 
 (.onipilcr.s own pupils, ana lias kvn tau.ti'lit fur a* ou^iaorablo time in 
 raauu;^cript. Having- been foiiud u.scful oven timlei' the (IinkI vantages 
 attendant on teachint,^ from manuscript, it was tiiought desirable to have 
 It 111 a more permanent and availal)le form, fur the greater convenience 
 of both teacher ana pupil, The want of printed buuks suitable fur the 
 purposes of elemental y instruction has long been felt, by teachers of the 
 deat and dumb, as a serious obstacle to etlicieiicy ; Avhilo the multipli- 
 cation of manuscript copies of lessons is attended with ho much labour 
 and loss of time, that almost any attempt, however imperfect, to reuicdi' 
 the evd, may be legiirded as an improvement. 
 
 Thougli laying no claim to novelty or originality, (f(,r which, indeed, 
 tliere is iiardly any room, either as regards the sidyect itself, or its pos- 
 sible treatment,) this little work, both iu respect of the amount of mat- 
 ter It eont,i.ins— the character of the details presented, and the arrange- 
 ment adoi)ted, has proved of greater practical utility fur pupils un-' r 
 iwo ymr^' sdindimj than anything of a simihir nature which the Com- 
 piler has had an opportunity of seeing, or of patting to actual test in 
 tlic ordinary labours of tiie schot)l-rou!n. 
 
 The work is divided intu fuur parts : 
 
 Part I treats, in a series uf sim]de sentences, of sucli conception- 
 ot Cou and of tho Suui, and of such practical duties of morality ard 
 religiun, aa can be cunveyed, through the medium of natural si.ni^ to 
 the minds of pupils of ordinary intelligence, dining tlie earlier montiis of 
 tlieir course lt_ also embraces a list of the principal Scripture Names, 
 each of which will form a subject fur graphic and interesting paiitominie 
 deliiioatiou ; and by the time the pupil has gone over them all, he will 
 B-f /*"^^- ^^'^^'^ ^ considerable acquaintance with the leading fiicts of the 
 Bible History, but will also be prepared to enter with advantage on the 
 study ot the (\ite.'-hism in Part Second. Part First has likewise append- 
 ed to It a series of questions which may be modified and cxtendetl at the 
 discretion of the teacher. 
 
 In Part II. the pupil has the facts, with whirh he is presumed to 
 have_ been already familiarised, presented in a din'orent form ■ .m 
 t!,at in which they were originally communicated to him. In the iirst 
 instance his ideas were associated with the natural slt-r.s ; he will now 
 learn to aWach them to the words of the Catechism, and these a-min will 
 tunu the basis of various additional exercises. °

 Part III. consists of a Builimentary Cntechism, touching on the most 
 importjvnt truths of revcaleil religion, expressed geiierally in very simple 
 phraseol(»}];y. At tlie same time, it may be remarked that neither in 
 this nor tlie preceding part has it been deemed necessary rigidly to 
 adhere to such forms of construction or such expressions, only, as may 
 be supposed to fall within the scope of the pupil's (jrammatical kiiow 
 ledge, or as he may be able to understand without assistance. It is 
 believed that a general idea of the import of a sentence or phrase may 
 safely be given, and then the sentence or phrase committed to memory, 
 even when the pupil does not perfectly comprehoml the force and rela- 
 tion of its several parts, or is unable to form for himself sentences and 
 phrases of similar construction and application. Imitation and repeti- 
 tion (frequently unaccompanied, in the earliest stages of mental develop- 
 ment, with any very definite conceptions) seem to constitute the two 
 great principles on which the acquisition of a living language depends. 
 It is in this way precisely that the hearing child acquires a practical 
 acquaintance with its mother tongue. Ideas and phrases are apprehend- 
 ed at first as concrete wholes ; the exact significance of the several 
 elements entering into their composition, and the nature of their *?ia. 
 tions to each other, form the subject of subsequent reflection. In the 
 order of nature, synthesis precedes analysis. For these reasons the 
 Compiler has not confined himself, throuc;hout, to the extreme simplicity 
 of style which characterises the introductory portions of this work. 
 
 The CATEcnETici.L is here adopted in preference to the Narrative 
 form, as having been found, in the Compiler's experience, better adapted 
 for elementary religious instruction. 
 
 Part IV. is introduced by a note which sufficiently explains its specific 
 design. The practical advantage of the arrangement will be generally 
 apparent. 
 
 In conclusion, it should be observed that two objects have been 
 specially kept in view in the preparation of the fc .lowing pages : 
 
 Fi) st, to include just so mu«h religious knowledge, as well as to 
 present it in such a form, as should render it possible for the generality 
 of pupils to master the book during the first two years of their instruc- 
 tion ; and, 
 
 Secondly, to economise time and abridge mere mechanical labour, 
 by affording the pupil material for self-*xercise and profitable cccu- 
 pation, at such times as the teacher may be engaged with others at a 
 different stage of progress. An additional object was to furnish Day 
 Scholars with the means of prosecuting their studies in their homes 
 during leisure houi*s, and thus to prevent them from falling behind 
 their class-mates who board in the Institution, and enjoy the benefits of 
 superintendence and assistance at other than the regular hours of school.

 The (lurstions of tlic forogoins Catechisms arc here print- 
 cd irUhont the answers, in order to serve as an exerci.e 
 lor the pupil in tlie recitation of whac he has learnt. \\ hen- 
 cver a portion of the Catechism has been explained by the 
 teacher and committed to memory by the pupil, the pupil 
 should be required to 'vrite down the answers to the ques- 
 lons in that portio^ , from the following list without assist- 
 ance The arrangement thus adopted has the advantage ot 
 economising time and abridging mere mechanical labour, 
 ,vhile it also allows each pupil to learn as much as his 
 capacity will admit of, without interfering with the reguLii 
 work of the class.

 thy inan-sorvaut, nor thy maid-servant, nor thy cattle 
 nor the .stranger that is within thy gates : For in"six days 
 the Lord made heaven and earth, flio sea, and all that 'in
