BRIEF INTRODUCTORY REMARKS, 
 
 OONVKHNtNa THt: LISTTbllS OP THK ENGLISH ALPHARBr/^ 
 
 In the English Alphabet there are twenty-six letter* 
 viz. : il, by c, rf, c,/, ^, A, 1,7, A:, /, w, w, o, />, v, r, *, 
 J, tt, w, ?/^ X, y, z. il, e, I, r>, M, and sometimes w and 
 y, are vowels. J5, <;, rf,/, j^, A, A:, /, w, 7i, />, <?, r, *, t. 
 t), :£) 2, and sornetiniits w and ^, are consonants. If 
 mid y are vowels when ending a syllable, but wher 
 beginning a syllable 1 hey aire consonants. 
 
 Each of the vow^lis, with the exception of W7, hasscv 
 eraJ distinct sounds, which may be thus exhibited, viz. ; 
 Vowels. 1st sowid. 2d sound, 3d sowul, 4rh sound

 A eon^onani has no sound oy itself, and always re- 
 quires the assistance of a vowel. iJ, vvhen thus associa- 
 i«d, has only one sound, but it is often silent : it is al- 
 ways so when followed by t in the same syllable, as in 
 debly^nA generally so when preceded by m^ as in thumb. 
 
 C always takes the sound of either k or s; of the 
 former before y<, o and u; as in ca/, coif (ml; of the 
 latter before e, i and y; as cdl^ city^ cygntl. Some- 
 times it is silent, as in the word indlcU 
 
 D keeps always the same sound; as in dmlhydraw 
 
 F\iB.a only one sound, as m dfe; except in the par 
 ticiple off where it has the pov^cr of v, in order to dis 
 tinguish it from the word off. .vu» j;irv.^>iq^i »#i^ iv,..:. 
 
 G before a, o and tt, is sounded hard ; as ih ffaroiiPU 
 [goblet, gunner. Before e, i and jy, it is sounded some- 
 times hard, and sometimes soft; as in gelding hard, 
 I and in gender soft ; but for the most part it is soft* Il

 of Mpiration In most cnses, it has a distinet soumli 
 ai heard in the words hat, horsCf hill. It is always 
 silent after r, as in rheum. — Some persons are very 
 erroneous in the use of this letter, by omitting to sound 
 it where it is necessary, and by giving it a distinct 
 utterance where it is absolutely improper. For in 
 tance, some pronovc.oe air hair, and heart art, 
 
 /marks a compound sound, composed of d and g-h 
 or the soft g; as in gesture, except in hallelujahf where 
 it is pronounced like y, viz.: hallelooyah, - j^^: 
 
 iThas one sound, represented also by hard 6; as king^ 
 come. Before n it is always silent ; as in knot, know, 
 
 h has only one sound ; as in love. It is sometimes si- 
 lent when followed by /, korm; as in half, stalk, balm 
 
 M is uniform in its sound ; as in music, except in 
 eomptroller, pronounced cmitr oiler, ''*: >» ^' 
 
 N has two sounds ; one as in man, the other like ng^ 
 as in thank, &c. It is always mute when preceded b;y 
 m in the same syllable ; as in condemn 
 
 P has oae uniform sound ; as in pride * nui whei» 
 loined tci an h, it sounds like /, as in p tantom. In 
 nephew and Step/ien, it has the sound of v. It is soma* 
 times mute, as in psalm, ni^n-^ t>»n vU^ntMv^'M, 
 ' Q sounds like k, and is never silent, ^^fi ^-^vj) //i« ' i 
 ^ is never mute, and has only one sound; as in 
 
 S has four sounds ; as in so, rose, passion, osier* 
 
 T has its own proper sound ; as in hurt, tune, 
 
 V is never silent, and has one uniform sound ; BBvain^ 
 vanity^ love, 
 
 W has also one sound ; as in will, well, '"^ •:<'>' ; 
 
 i is the representative of two sounds-— it is sounder 
 \\. X at the beginning of Greek names ; as in Xerxes: 
 but in other words like ks, as in vex, .''^■■'^m^i^^mm:^ 
 
 Y, when a consonant, has nearly the sonnd o{ ee; as

 A diphthong is the union of two vowels in one »/l* 
 lable; as ea in beat, '^'V' *':; * *" "^' "•«^'^ 
 
 A triphthong is the Utiidti of three vowels in one syl* 
 (able ; as eau in beau, 
 
 A syllable is the complete sound of one or more 
 fetters ; as /, am, art, 
 
 A monosyllable is a word of one syllable. ->}i^f)^a 
 A dissyllable is a word of two syllables. t> ^'^'isl^ifii 
 A trisyllable is a word of three syllables. *«'>1*>^ ' 
 A polysyllable is a word of four or more syllables. 
 Accent signifies a certain stress of the voice which is 
 placed on one syllable by way of distinction : thus, in 
 the word Kingston, the accent is on the first syllable, 
 but in Q iebec it is on the second. 
 
 Orthography is the art of spelling words with the 
 proper and necessary letters ; and the best mode of 
 learnmg it is, by reading and copying a great deal, and 
 by never spelling a single word unless you are certain 
 what letters you are to use ; for which purpose you Avill 
 refer to your dictionary, or to your teacher. Nothing 
 IS more essential to a good education, and every one 
 should make himself master of it. Bad spelling is either 
 A proof of great ignorance or carelessness. 
 
 A good articulation consists in giving to every letter 
 in a syllable its due quality and proportion of snund, 
 according to the most approved custom of pronou;^; ing 
 it; and in so uttering the syllables of which words are 
 composed, that the ear shall, without difficulty, distin- 
 guish their number. In so far as these points are nof 
 observed, the articulation is defeciivr. 
 
 Distinctness of articulation depends primarily uf/^n 
 being able to enunciate the sounds of the letters by the 
 organs of speech, and distinctly combining them into 
 f.yilables and words: and, in the next place, in dis- 
 tinguishing properly the syllables of which words are 
 composed from each other. 
 
 The chief cause of indist^ tness. is a too great pie-

 'netliod will be, to employ nn hour every <*Ay in readuig 
 •doudt ill a maniiftr mtfch slower than is iMaessary, and 
 before some person whose kindness would correct the 
 habitual errors of the render^. 
 
 There is one cause of indistinct articulation which 
 npcrates very generally, and which arises from the ver}^ 
 genius of our tongue ; so that unless great care be token, 
 it is scarcely possible to escape being afTectcd by it 
 Evety word in our language, composed of more sylla- 
 bles than one, has one syllable accented, and is thus 
 particularly distinguished from the rest ; and if this ac- 
 cented syllable be properly articulated, the word will 
 be sufliciently known, even though the others should 
 be sounded very confusedly. This produces a negli- 
 gence with regard, to the pronunciation of the other 
 syllables, which, though it may not render the sense 
 obscure, yet destroys all measure and proportion, and 
 consequently ail harmony in delivery. This fault may 
 be corrected by pronouncing the unaccented syllable* 
 mare fully than is necessary. , . , ,, .

 1. If you are ver-y good, and say your les-sons well tfij

 2. You can also look at the coolc, who is get-ting peas 
 ft#* your din-ner, which you, and your broth-ers and sis-ters 
 are ve-ry fond of. ''">'? 
 
 3. The cher-ries be-gin to look ve-ry red, and will soon 
 be ripe e-nough to mix with the cur-rants, when they will 
 make nice tarts for sup-per, with a lit-tle new milk from 
 the Cow, from whom we may have ma-ny good things ; 
 fresh milk, rich cream, nice but-ter and cheese. 
 
 4. Cus-tards, and most kinds of pud-dings, are made with 
 milk ; I can-not tell what chil-dren would do for prop-er 
 food, if we had not Cow's milk. 
 
 5. Last sum-mer, you know, how pleas-ed you were to 
 see the lit-tle calves play-ing a-bout in the fields with their 
 moth-ers, though you thought, when you saw thom go to 
 lake their moth-ers' milk, they would not leave you a-ny 
 sup-per. !'t)i-^i '■■'■• ^iir {ihw-uhhft y 
 
 6. But, my dear, the good God who gave the beasts of 
 the field for our use, also gave them the means to nour- 
 ish their young, and yet have e-nough to spare for the use 
 of man. 
 
 7. He who has made noth-ing in vain, took care to pro- 
 vide well for both man and beast ; for when the calf is old 
 e-nough to feed on the grass, it does not want so much of 
 its moth-er's milk. 
 
 8. The calf has no wool on, like the sheep, but the skin 
 is of great use, and made in-to leath-er, of which shoes are 
 made, bind-ings for books and oth-er things ; so you find 
 the poor beasts are of use e-ven af-ter they are dead, foi 
 ma-ny of them give us both food and rai-ment. 
 
 9. Farm-ers snould use their cat-tie kind-ly, for I do not 
 know how they could do with-out them in the cul-ture of 
 their farms, or find food for their wives and chil-dren. You 
 will find dai-ly, as you read, that all God's works are good, 
 and noth-inor is made in vain. ; , i , . ii;t! vi:: iui

 1. I was glad to see yon, my dear girl, so ninch pl«»4is-e(| 
 last night witii the good farni-er, and his daiigh-ter whij 
 gave you such nice fruit and new milk. How sweet j 
 seem-ed af-ter your walk, to sit down and en-joy such 
 sum-mer re-past. :. " > ! f 
 
 2. While the weath-or is fine, we will often, af-ter yod 
 have read your hook, and done well at your nee-dlc, go and 
 see Miss May, who keeps her fath-er's house, and tends thj 
 poul-try. 
 
 3. You know she told you she would give you a pair 
 pret-ty chick-ens^ and I will buy two or three more, theij 
 you shall feed and take care of them at home. *>'n; 
 
 -4. She also told you she would shew you the bees td 
 next time you went, and you should, at the prop-er sea-soiJ 
 see them take a hive. What a pit-y it is, that for the sakj 
 of their hon-ey, ma-ny of the poor be^s are kill-ed, af-tej 
 they have work-ed so hard, and toil-ed so long, to cull thj 
 sweets trom flow-ers and herbs. ' "<' '^ ; ;. o .xiiv -^in- 
 
 5. Poor things, it is hard that a-ny of them should suf-fej 
 for giv-ing such rich and use-ful food f.- man. Some year 
 a-go, al-most all the bees in a hive wcfri ^-*-il-ed, when ij 
 was to be ta-ken for the sake of the hon-ey. 
 
 6. But of late years, a meth-od has been founa jr'*'*-kind 
 the hon-ey from the hives, with-out causing the deai^ , 
 so ma-ny use-ful in-sects which niny live to gath-er mor 
 •weets, and tek^a to some otJ'"*jr hive.

 7. You must be care-ful when you go near where bee- 
 lives are, for, if you play a-bout and trou-ble the bees, ai 
 ley go in and out, they will sting you, and their sting ia 
 ar-ly as bad as that of a wasp ; and 1 sup-pose you wiii

 1. When we were walk-ing late-ly, you seem-ed vc-ry 
 [luch to ad-mire the nice pea-cock which was spread-ing 
 |s gau-dy tail to the sun. 
 
 2. It look-ed ve-ry hand-some, but you must not be ta- 
 len with out-side beau-ty, for were you to hear it scream, 
 [ou would won-der so pret-ty a bird could make so harsh a 
 loise. ■ -c;f-:\ a.; .1 
 
 3. The ducks, the geeise, and the chick-ens, are all much 
 3t-tei to eat than that fine bird which walks a-bout the 
 
 |ard so proud-ly ; some-times the pea-chicks arc kill-ed 
 rhcn young, but they are not so white and sweet as a 
 "lick-en. •• ^ >^ vi r '-^ J -j S C* 
 
 4. The com-mon farm-yard poul-try, though not so hand- 
 )me to look at, are far more use-ful, a& we are of-ten pleas- 
 ' with a few fresh eg^s at break-fast. Lit-tle boys and 
 [rls would of-ten be with-out pud-dings for their din-ners, 
 
 the hens did not fur-nish plen-ty of eggs. 
 
 6. It i» vtj-ry pleas-ant to see a yard full of fine po»il 
 
18

 try, the hens with their chick-ens, ai-M^ays seen so biM 
 ficiatch-in? a-bout for iit-tle grubs and in-secis, whict» thj 
 are ve-ry lond of. ] 
 
 6. The ducks are not hap-py un-less they have a poj 
 near, where they may swim a-bout, and dive in the wa i 
 for the in-sects they like best. It is ve-ry pleas-ing to watJ 
 them, and see how mer-ry they seem, and hear whatl 
 quack-ing they make, if they hai>pen to ftnd a-ny tlyf 
 weed that pleas-es them. 
 
 7. The geese most-ly ram-ble out on the com-mon. 
 there is one near, but they come home with their gos-liii| 
 at night to the yard, where they know they shall get a g( 
 yup-per, and bo safe du-rhig the night. 
 
 8. Thus you find that all birds and beasts soon kn\ 
 where thev are well ta-ken care of and fed ; and thoiij 
 iiia-ny arc kili-ed to sup-ply the wants of man, yet suchf 
 «K-cape are, or ought to be, well fed and kept warm.

 }-ry quick-Ly, which is call-ed swim-minff, and the lit-tle 
 
 ins you ob-serve as-sist them in get-ting fir-ward through 
 le wa-ter.^ 
 
 3. Some fish live in ponds, some in riv-ers, oth-ers in 
 ikcs, but the great-est num-ber of fish is in the sea ; oU 
 rhich you may read of, when you are a-ble to tell all the 
 irs^e words you will meet with. 
 
 4. Tlien you will read with sur-prise and won-dor a-bou! 
 le great whales, how men go a great dis-tance in ships to 
 Itch them, and what a la-TOur and trou-ble it is to take 
 
 -lem ; but the oil they yield well re-pays the peo-ple who 
 [re at the ex-pence of send-iiig men so far. 
 
 5. There are a great ma-ny fish in the sea fit to eat, the 
 •king of which em-ploys a large num-ber of peo-ple who 
 
 out in boats, and ve-ry of-ten they are in their boats on 
 
 he wa-ter all ni^ht. The peo-ple wh6 live by fish-ing 
 
 lost-ly have their hou-ses near the sea-side, and when 
 
 ley can-not ven-ture out to sea they em-ploy their time in 
 
 liend-ing their nets. 
 
 6. You will be great-ly pleas-ed when you can read the 
 ;-count of all the fish-es, birds and beasts, that are in your 
 is-ter's book.. You shall read it as soon as you can. .,< 
 
 7. No per-son can tell what he is read-ing a-bout if h« 
 m-not say the words in a prop-er man-ner ; there-fore be 
 ire-ful and at-tend to your book. Pro-nounce your let-

 1. Yon must take great care of the pret-ty lit-tle squir-rel 
 Which yon have got as a pre-sent, and he sure to feed it 
 ev-e-ry day. It loves nuts, and will crack them as well as 
 you can, and, with its lit-tle paws pick them out ve-ry 
 neat-ly. 
 
 2. Yon knoAv squir-rels love to he in the woods, where 
 some of them skip from tree to tree as live-ly as birds. In 
 this conn-try there are ma-ny sorts, such as the fly-in? 
 squir-rel, the ground squir-rel, al-so the red, grey, and 
 black. 
 
 3. In Eng-land there are on-ly the red and grey, both 
 of which are ve-ry pret-ty, and have fine bush-y tails which 
 turn o-ver their backs, and when they sit up-on their hind 
 legs, ap-pear o-ver their heads. 
 
 .4. If you no-tice the lit-tle crea-ture when it eats, you 
 will see how pret-ty it looks ; but you must take care, foi 
 it will bite : its teeth are ve-ry sharp, or it could not, with 
 so much ease, crack the nuts. 
 
 5. Some peo-ple put their squir-rels in a cage that keeps 
 lum-ing round, so the poor thing is al-ways climb-ing bill

 1. Our pa-rents are very good to us, but God is bet-ter 
 thrui our pa-rents, and he has done more for us. He gave 
 us our pa-rents and ev-e-ry thing we have. 
 
 2. He made the sun, moon, and stars ; the earth, and the 
 sky ; wa-ter, trees and flow-ers ; birds and b^ts, fish-e^^^i^id 
 in-sects ; and men, wo-men and chil-dren. -jt \ r 
 
 3. He has made us more ex-cel-lent than the beasts, for he 
 has ffiv-en us a soul. It is our soul that knows God, ano 
 that ne is good, and wise, and poAv-er-ful. The beasts do not 
 know God, nor the things which he has made ; if we v(Gxe te 
 tell them, they would not un-der-stand us. 
 
 4. Our souls learn and know a great ma-ny things which 
 the beasts can-not learn. Qur bo-dies will die, and when wn 
 are laid in the grave, worms will de-stroy our flesh, andoui 
 bones will crum-ble into dust. But our souls are im-mor- 
 tal, they can nev-er die. 
 
 5. God or-ders ev-e-ry thing. He keeps us a-live, and he 
 makes us die when he pleas-es. There is noth-ing whici: 
 lie can-not do. He sees us where-e-ver we are, by nighi 
 well as by day ; and he knows all that we do and say ai 
 think. There is noth-ing which he does not know^,,, ,,,

 1. We must love to read the bi-ble; it is the most ex-cell 
 lent and beau-ti-ful of all books. — God him-self com-mandl 
 ed good men to write it. There we read of all the great an( 
 good things God has done for us, and for all peo-ple; hon 
 just, and wise, and pow-er-ful he is; and what we must 
 to iBi*ve and please him. .j ;*ijv .♦« f^-jiv

 2. There too we read. of Christ, the Son of Grod, who came 
 m-to the world to save sin-ners, such as we all are by nu-ture 
 and prac-tice. — He was geu-tle and pa-tient when he was 
 trou-bled and ill-used; he was kind to ail per-sops, e-ven tc 
 rhem who v/ere un-kind to him ; and when wick-ed mer 
 wore just go-ing to kill him, he pray-ed to his Fath-er to for- 
 
 I give them. 
 
 3. When we have read, or heard a-bout Christ, who he 
 was, and what great things he has done for us, we ought to 
 love him, and bo tliank-ful to him, and try to be like him. 
 
 4. Make haste to learn to read, and try to un-der-stand the 
 i mean-ing of what you road ; love to learn your du-ty and to 
 do it; then you will be a-ble to read the bi-ble, and you will 
 love to read it. There are nia-ny things in it which you can 
 un-der-stand now, though you are so young. When you 
 are old-er and wi-ser you will un-der-stand it bet-ter; and, if 
 you are good, you will de-light in it more and more. ./h.<.:s

 I. Chil-dren should al- ways do what theii^ pa-tehts Oi 
 
 |teach-ers de-sire them; nei-ther should they re-fuse till they 
 
 lave rea-son from them for what they are bid, be-cause, it 
 
 lay not be at all times pro-pcr to give a rea-son, and they 
 
 night not un-der-stand it, if it were giv-en. i v.? -i O . 
 
 Ed-mund Wil-ful was no-ted for not do-ing as his pa- 
 rents told him; when his fath-er and motii-er told him not to 
 lo a-ny thing, he did not mind their com-mands, but would 
 io it ve-ry soon af-ter ; be-sides this, he al-ways want-ed to 
 [now tha rea-son why he was not to do it. We shall so(»n 
 ^ee what be-fel him from his not mind-ing what was said to 
 lim. ! ! :» ^•■•. ■'''•■

 aow, see-ing his son in such dan-ger, call-ed out to him^ 
 
 'Edfiiaund! Ed-mund ! come cT the ice." "Why,

 5. There was a lit-tle girl who did not mind what wa». 
 said to her, for sonin-times she would get up-on the win 
 dow seat, and be m dan-ger of fall-ing out of the win-dow? 
 at oth-er times she would stand so near the fire, as to be ill 
 dan*ger of set-ting her frock on fire, or of be-ing scald-ed b> 
 the boil-in^ wa-ter in the tea ket-tle. 
 
 t). One day she climb-ed on the back of the nurse's chait 
 who ri-sing up to fol-low a lit-tle boy that was at play with 
 a dog, the chair fell up-on her, and she hurt her head ve-r| 
 much a-gainst the floor. 
 
 7. Jane Care-less was ri-ding one day in a wag-gon with 
 her mam-ma, who call-ed ma-ny times to her, and told hei 
 not to lean o-ver the side of the wag-gon, but she paid uo 
 re-gard to what her moth-er said. • : s t

 a stone, out fell poor Jane ; she was ve-ry bad-ly hurt, ano

 LESSOR 15. 
 
 1. Do you know what it is to tell a lie ? It is to say 
 what is not true, ei-ther to hide a fault, or to make a jest 
 •xf a-ny one. Ly-ing is*'a vice you should be care-ful to 
 a-void, be-cause, if you are once known to be a li-ar, no 
 per-son will be-lieve a word you say. 
 
 2. A lit-tle boy, whose name was John, was so much in 
 the prac-tice of tell-ing lies that he ot-ten came to much 
 
 arm from this e-vil ha-bit. A stout boy, of whom he had 
 Ibeeu tell-in^ some false-hoods, one day way-laid him on 
 is re-turn from school, and gave him a se-vere beat-ing. 
 
 3. He mide his com-plaint to the mas-ter when he came 
 
 school again, but John had so of-ten said v/hat was not 
 rue, that the mas-ter did not be-lieve him. From this time 
 le be-gan to see the ill ef-fects of tell-ing lies, and was ve-ry 
 are-fnl in fu-ture to say noth-ing but what was truth. 
 
 4. Once, Xvhen I was in the back-AVoods, I saw men log- 
 ing on new ground with a yoke of ox-en, and there was 
 
 1 very large log which the ox-en could not draW| though 
 hey tried to do it with all their might. ^^^ «>^ « 
 
 6. At this the man who was chiv-ing got an-gry. and beat 
 
M 
 
 ^ 
 
 frtE CAN A it 
 
 the poor ox-en with a \«r^e sfick, of-ten stri-king them OD 
 the horns, which seem-cd to pain them ve-ry much. 
 
 0. At ot)i-er times, in the front town-ships, I have seen 
 hor-sea u-sed ve ry bad-ly ; not that they were do-ing a-ny 
 harm, but be- cause they could not know the lan-s^uagc of 
 their mas-ters. Hence they were beat-en on the head, be- 
 tween the ears, with the large end of a whip, which was 
 like-ly as pain-ful to them, as it would be to ox-en to strike 
 them on t)ie horns. 
 
 m7. Now, all such con-duct as this shews plain-ly the ab- 
 sence of a hu-mane tem-per. Nev-er trust your-self in the 
 pow-er of a per-son who can thus a-buse dumb beasts^ foi 
 he would most like-ly ill use hu-man be-ings if they cross- 
 ed his de-signs, and he could do so with e-qual safe-ty U 
 his per-son. 
 
 8. God talces care for ox-en. and he no doubt marks lh« 
 man or boy, who, from ca-price, bad-ly ex-erts a pow-ei 
 with which he proves un-fit to be trust-ed. It is the du-ty 
 of all to be gen-tle in their con-duct, and to give those crea- 
 tures that de-pend up-on them a proper degree of food, tc 
 pre-pare shel-ter from the ex-treme cold of win-ter, and tc 
 see that, in all re-spects. they are kind-ly ta-ken care of.

 LEMOn 1. 
 
 1. The good boy loves his parents very dearly. Ho 
 iiil ways minds what they say to him, and tries to please 
 them. If they desire him not to do a thing he does it not ; 
 if they desire him to do a thing he does it. When they 
 deny him what he wants, he does not grumble, or pout out 
 [lis lips, or look angry ; but he thinks that his parent! 
 know what is proper for him better than he does, because 
 they are wiser than he is. . 
 
 2. He loves his teachers, and all who tell him what ia 
 ffood. He likes to read, and to write, and to learn some- 
 Sling new ev-e-ry day. He is kind to his brothers and 
 mslors, and all his little play-fel-lows. He r>- yer fights, 
 nor quarrels with them, nor calls them names 
 sees them do wrong he is sorry, and tries to p 
 to do better.

 3. He does not speak rudely to any one. If he sees per- 
 •ons who are lame, or crooked, de-form-ed, or very old, he 
 does not laugh at them, or mock them; but he is glad 
 when he can do them any service. He is kind even to 
 dumb creatures; for he knows that though they cannot 
 spiuk, they can feel as well as we do ourselves. Even 
 thost; an-i-mals which he does not think pretty, he takes 
 ca.<< i ot to hurt. 
 
 1. He likes very much to see the birds pick up bits ot 
 hayj and moss, and wool, to build their nests with. Some- 
 times, he looks about in the bushes, and in the trees, ard 
 amo\^^st the grass, for birds' nests; but when he has found 
 ihem, he only just peeps at them ; he would rather not see 
 the little birds, than frighten them, or do them any mis- 
 chief. 
 
 ' 5. He never takes any thing that does not belong to him, 
 or meddles with it without leave. When he walks in his 
 father's garden, or orchard, he does not pull flowers, or 
 gather fruit, unless he is told that he may do so. He never 
 tells a^lie. If he has done any mischief he con-fess-es it, 
 and says he is very sorry, and will" tiy to do so no more ; 
 and no person can be angry with him. . ■ *'/ . sMjy f.^ 
 
 6. When he lies down at night, he tries to re-col-lect all 
 he has been doing and learning in the day. If he has rea- 
 son to reproach himself with im-prop-er conduct, he re- 
 solves on a-mend-ment and prays for divme as-sist-ance ; 
 and trusts that God, who is so good, will love and bless 
 him. "' ^'*''.«''^*" -"''-'; ^'- :> •■ -.;??' Mi 
 
 \mn 
 
 7. He keeps holy the sabbath day. He loves to pray to 
 God, to hear and read about him ; and to go with his pa- 
 rents or frieiii^ to church. He re-mem-bers that in God's 
 house it is wrong to stare around him. He knows that 
 when he prays he speaks to God, and that when he hears a 
 sermon, God speaks to him. He never sits at prayer, but 
 If there is room, he always kneels, or else stands. Ev-e-ry 
 person who knows this good boy loves him, and speaktr 
 j^ell of him, and j kind to him ; and he is very happy.

 1. The good boy, whose parents are rich, has fine 
 clothes to wear ; and he rides on a pretty little horse, and 
 in a fine carriage ; and he has sei^vants, sometimes, to wail 
 on him : but he does not, for all that, think that he is bet- 
 ter than other boys whose parents are not rich ; because 
 all the people in the world have pro-ceed-ed from one 
 fam-i-ly. 
 
 ' 2. Ho knows that all rich people are not so good 
 many who are poor ; and that Goo gives a great deal of 
 money, or other prop-er-ty, to some persons, in-order that 
 they may assist those who have little or none, as well as to] 
 promote re-li-gious objects. 
 
 3. He spealcs very kindly to all his father's ser\^ants. Hei 
 does not require them to wait upon him when they are cil| 
 their meals, or very busy. If he wants them to do him a| 
 service, which he cannot do himself, he asks them pret 
 
 4i-ly ; and thanks them for what they do for him. 
 
 4. He never gives the servants any trouble that lie can 
 avoid ; therefore he is careful not to make any dirt in tin 
 house, and not to break any thing, or put it out of its place 
 and not to tear his clothes. When any of the do-mes-tics ari 
 sick, he likes to go and see them, and to enquire hoAv the) 
 do. He likes to go with his father, or his moth'^r^ to sei 
 poor peo] le in their log houses ; and, if he sees tJiey stani 
 In need of'it, he gives them almost all the money he hns 
 
 5. The. ^ood boy, whose parents are not rich, rises ven 
 early in the morning, and, after at-tend-ing to his })rayers 
 does as mucli as he can, all day long, to help his father an 
 mother. When he goes to school, he walks quickly, ari 
 loses no time on the road. My pn <;nts, says he, are veri 
 good, to save some of their money, in order that I may lean 
 to read and write ; but they cannot give much, nor ca 
 Jiey spare me long ; therefore I must learn as fast as 1 car

 to be a man, not to know how to read in tlie bible and other 
 jrood books ; and when I leave my parents, not to be able 
 to read their letters, and to write them word where 1 am, 
 and how I do. And I must learn accounts, for, when I 
 j^row up, I shall have many things to reckon about my 
 work, and res-pect-ing what I buy. I shall, perhaps, have 
 bills to make out, as my father has; and |)erhaps I shall bo 
 em-ploy-ed in a shop. -^il 
 
 7. When he has nn-ish-ed his lessons, he does not stay 
 to play, but runs home ; he wants to see his father and 
 mother, and to help them. He often sees nauehty boys in 
 the streets, and in the woods and fields, steal, nght, and do 
 many bad things ; and he hears them swear and call 
 names, and tell lies ; but he does not like to be with them, 
 for fear they should make him as bad as they are them- 
 selves ; and that any person who sees him with them 
 should think that he also is wicked. 
 
 8. When he is at home, he is well em-ploy-ed. He 
 takes care of the little children ; weeds his father's garden, 
 hoes and rakes it, and sows seeds in it. Sometimes he 
 goes with his father to work ; then he is very glad ; and 
 though he is but a little fellow, he works very well, almost 
 (ike a man. 
 
 9. When he comes home to dinner, he says, how hungry 
 I nm ! and how good this bread is, and this mtjat ! Indeed, 
 I think ev-e-ry thing we have is very good. I am glad I 
 can work ; I hope that I shall soon be able to oarn all my 
 clothes, and my food too. When he sees little boys and 
 girls riding on pretty horses, or in nice carriages, or painted 
 waggons, he does not envy them, nor wish to be lik^^ them. 
 
 lOi He says, I have often been told, and I ha/*', read, 
 that it is God who makes some to be poor and seme rich j 
 that the rich have many troubles which the poor know 
 nothing of, and many temp-ta-tions which belong to them 
 selves to forget God, and the concerns of the future world ; 
 and that the poor, if they are good, may be very liippy j 
 indeed, I think that when I am good no pexsf>n cai* b^

 THE INDUSTRIOUS LITTLE GIRL. 
 
 ,Ji 
 
 .':,•,. 
 
 LES80K 3. 
 
 '*' 1. She always minds what her father and mother say tOj 
 her ; and talces pains to learn whut-ev-er they are iso kind 
 a^ to teach her. She is never noisy or trou-ble-some ; so 
 they like to have her with them, and they like to laiK to| 
 her, and to instruct her. She has learned to read so well, 
 and she is "^o good a girl, that her father has given her sev- 
 er-al little books, which she reads in by herself, when-ev-er| 
 ihe likes ; and she understands all that is in them, r/ 
 
 ' 2. She knows the meaning of a great many dif-fi-cmlll 
 w^ords ; and the names of nu-mer-ous countries, cities, and 
 towns, and she can find them u] on a map. She can write 
 very pret-ti-ly even without a copy ; and she can do a great 
 many sums on a slate. What-ev-er she does, she takes 
 wins to do it well ; and when she is doing one thing, shil 
 tiies not to think of an-oth-er. If she has made a mistakoj 
 or done any thing wrong, she ip soriy for it ; and wlieiil 
 she is told of a fault, she en- eav-ours to avoid it ari-oth-er| 
 eime. 
 
 3. When she wants to know any thing, she asks hc-rl 
 ather, or her mother to tell her ; and she tries to un-der{ 
 itaiid, and to re-mem-ber what they tell her ; but if thej

 lo not think proper to answer her quest \s, she does not 
 lease them, but says, when I am older they will perhaps 
 instruct me ; and she thinks about something else. .tm h 
 
 4. She likes to sit by her mother, and sew or knit. 
 When she sews, she does not take long stitches, or pucker 
 her iVork ; but does it very neatly, just as her mother tells 
 hjf to do. And she always keeps her work very clean ; 
 for it her hands are dirty, she washes them before she 
 begins her work, and when she has fin-ish-ed it, she folds I 
 it up, and puts it very care-ful-ly in her workbag, or in a 
 drawer. 
 
 5. It is but very seldom indeed that she loses her thread 
 or needles, or any thing she has to work with. She keeps 
 her npedles and thread in a proper place, and she has o pin- 
 cush-ion on which she puts her pins. She does not stick 
 needles in her sleeve, or put pins in her mouth ; for she has 
 been told these are silly dan-sfer-ous tricks, and she always 
 pays at-ten-tion to what is said lo her. 
 
 6. She takes care of her own clothes, and folds them up 
 very neatly. She knows ex-act-ly where she puts them ; 
 and, I believe, she could find them even in the dark. When 
 she sees a hole in her stockings, or frock, or any of her 
 clothes ^\e mends it, or asks her mother to have it mended ; 
 she doe.* iiot wait lill the rent is very large, for she re-mem 
 hers what her mother has told her, that a stitcli in time 
 saves nine. ■ r;: -i •. . ann 
 
 7. She does not like to waste any thing. — She never 
 throws away, or br rns, crumbs of bread, or peelings of fruit, 
 or little bits of muslin or linen, or ends of thread; for she 
 lias seen the chickens and little birds picking up crumbs, 
 and the pigs feeding upon peelings of fruit ; and she has 
 seen the man go about gath-er-ing rags, which her mother 
 has told her he sells to people who make paper of them. 
 
 8. When she goes with her mother into the kitchen and 
 the dairy, she takes notice of every thing she sees; but shu |^ 
 does not meddle with any thing without leave. She knows 
 how puddings, tarts, butter and bread, are made, it or; ^.i > 
 
 9. She can iron her own clothes; and she can make hei 
 own bed. She likes to feed the chickens and the yomij^ 
 turkeys and to give them clean water to drink ; she likes to 
 
m

 work in her little garden, to weed it, and to aow seed* f»*'d 
 to plant roots in it ; and she likes to do little jobs for ;;ci 
 mother ; she likes to be em-pioy-ed, and she en-doav-ours 
 to be useful. i>'*» vjr n yti itg rvr ».aiij tynb J 
 
 » 10. If all little girls would be so at-ten-tive, and so much 
 given to in-dus-try, how they would delight their parentR 
 and their kind friends ! and they would he much hap«pi-ei 
 themselves, than when they are ob-stin-ate or idle, and wil, 
 not learn any thing pro|jer-iyj or mind what is said to them

 THE KNOWLEDGE OF LETTERS. 
 
 LESSON 4. 
 
 1. The knowledge of letters is one of the greatest blcs 
 lings enjoyed by man. By this means we preserve for oui 
 own use, through all our lives, what our memory would 
 iiave lost in a few days* and lay up a treasure of know- 
 ledge for those that shall come after us. , if,>; v 
 
 £ By the art of readiuo:, we can sit at home and acquaint 
 ourselves of what is done in tlie n\ost distant parts of the 
 ^vorld, and know what our fathers uid long ago, in the first 
 ages of mankind. We can also see what is now transpiring 
 ill the United States — how the law is there often set at de- 
 fiance, thereby rend(;ring the tenure of life and property ex« 
 ceedingly insecure. 
 
 3. By this means a j)erson in Canada can converse with 
 his friends in England, Ireland, or Scotland; by this w^i 
 know what China produces, and how the natives of Tart? 
 •ry live; by this we know what has been done in Egypi 
 Greece, and Turkey ; and by the same means those wh^ 
 live after us, will know what is now done in the BritisK> 
 Provinces of America. 
 
 4. In short, the art of letters does, as it were, revive all 
 the past aa;es of men, and set them at once upon the stage; 
 it brings all the nations from afar, and gives them a ijeneral 
 interview ; so that the most distant nations, and distant 
 ages of mankind, may converse together, and grow into ac 
 quaintance. 
 
 5. Above all, we have reason to be thankful for a know 
 ledge of this art, because it enables us to become acquainted 
 with the important truths contained in me Bible, relative to 
 the creation of the world, and our fall from the stale of in- 
 nocence, in which we were created. It points out our social 
 civil, and religious duties, and the necessity of being reno- 
 vated in heart and life, in order that we may answer th*' 
 end of our being here, and be prepared for an eternal stuV 
 •f Ikippiness in the world to come. ' ' ^ i "- «>/ < '

 LESSON 5. 
 
 1. Order is Heaven's first law. From the earliest dawjj 
 of reason to the hour of death, when we reluctantly talce the 
 last bitter medicine, wc have to submit our wills, more oj 
 less, to the will of others. We cailnot, in childhood, st;* 
 that the motive which induces our pturents to lay us under 
 restraint, is a regard to our future happiness. It seems to 
 us to he caprice, or, at least, arbitraiy dictation. 
 
 2. But we leai'n to submit our wills to theirs ; and here 
 is the foundation of government, and here commences tt 
 system of bonds, and obligations, which abide on us through 
 life. As we advance in life, we see that the reason of family 
 government is not a love of authority, or an infliction of 
 punishment ; but it arises from a compassion of our igno 
 ranee, and a desire to form our characters for tlie world in 
 which we are to live and act. 
 
 3. As we leave the paternal roof, the laws of the land 
 reach us, and throw their obligations around us. If we 
 violate them, the laws to which all have agreed to abide, 
 take hold of us. The judge is only the mouth of the law, 
 and the magistrate who punishes, is only the hand. But it 
 is the law, the naked law, which no one or two can alter, 
 which reaches the highest and lowest in the community 
 with entire impartiality, that compels us to bow our wills to 
 its mandates. Without this, no community could be safe 
 or prosperous. Life, character and property, would alike be 
 ft prey to the wicked, without this power and majesty of 
 
 iaw.

 all Honour nnd respect to our parents, and, if we strictly ob- 
 serve this law, we shall he careful to reve* jice i»ur dueen, 
 who, in a certain sense, is the parent and protector of us all. 
 
 2. The Christian should always regulate his conduct by 
 the word of God, and take care that he does not break* any 
 of its precepts. Loyalty being co^'-^'uaiided by God in his 
 holy Book, he cannot be disloyal, v<«i!fiRs he fail in an esscn 
 lial part <'>f his duty. He may be dnvont, he may go regu- 
 larly to chiu'ch, he may avoid the commission of any great 
 sin. yet, if ho be wanting in respect for his Sovereign he is 
 defective; he "cannot be a rebel and true Cliristian,— he can- 
 not keep the commandments of God, and at the r,o'^.'^ time 
 break one of his principal injunctions. 
 
 3. But when a nation, blessed as we are, with a kind and 
 merciful irovernment, is discontented and unt'ankful, the 
 crime of disobedience is increased by that of in-fratitude, 
 and though that rebel ' ous people should be successful in 
 I'lis world, a fearful piuiishment awaits them in the next. 
 
 4. Our Saviour, whose example all Christians should fol- 
 low, always instructed his disciples to pay respect to their 
 governors. His ajwstles, after his ascension, though perse- 
 ciUed and oppressed by tyrants, were remarkable for their 
 ol)edience to the Roman emperors. 
 
 5. There is then no excuse for us if we do not non'^'i;' 
 our rulers; we are commanded to do so, and God Almighty 
 will certainly visit us with his angry displeasure, if we re- 
 vise to obey. Let us remember, then, to " Fear "^'r^d and 
 honour the dueen." . . ,.

 1. There are many kinds of intemperance, but at present 
 .illiide to that arising from the use of intoxicating liquors.; 
 iis this is the worst species of intemperance, it may oe iie-

 2. [iabits, even of the most vicioi.s kind, are onsily at- 
 quired ; and since the common use o( such liciuor as whis- 
 key, rum, brandy or ^'m, is ruinous in every view, you 
 should keep it at the itniost distance. No jierson in the 
 right use of his sens«!s would invite, or be famili' with, 
 his most mortal enemy; and that this is the chafuU^r of 
 ardent spirits when inordinately used, I shall proceed to 
 illustrate. . . . , 
 
 , 3. Drunkenness drowns and infatuates the senses, de- 
 praves the reason, spoils the understanding, causes errors in 
 judgment, defiles the conscience, hardens the heart, and 
 brings on or induces a spiritual lethargy. It is a work ot 
 darkness, an unnoyance to modeoty, and a gate to every kind 
 of wickedness. 
 
 A. It is a revealer of secrets, a betrayer of trust, a despoil 
 er of honesty, and a forerunner of misery. It destroys 
 men's credit, empties their purses, consumes their estatn, 
 perverts the order of nature, causes profane and cursed 
 sp<3eches, vaunting, swearing, and blasphemy — quarreling, 
 fighting, and murcler. 
 
 5. It deforms the visage, corrupts tlie health, injures the 
 memory, and inflames tlie blood. — It is a voluntary msni- 
 ness, a deceiver of fools, and a flattering devil. It caiKses 
 forjretfulhess of Gvij. is a provoker of his judgments, hast- 
 ens, and often ]- sugft untimely death, and at last ruins the 
 soul eternally. 
 
 6. A drunkard, in that state, is incapable of any thing 
 good, is a game and sport of profane people, a ridiculous 
 object, his own sorrow, woe and shame, his wife's grief, bis 
 children's disgrace, his neighbour's contempt, and his fami- 
 ly's ruin. 
 
 7. He is an enemy to himseVf, a scandal to Christianity, 
 a dishonour to God, an abuser of his mercies, is subject tc 
 
 nany dangers, a slave to the devil and his own lusts ; and 
 traveller to destruction. 
 
 8. Drunkenness produces sickness, bloatedness, inflamed 
 eyes, red nose and face, gout, jaundice, dropsy, ipidsy, epi 
 ^epsy, apoplexy, melancholy, idiotism, madness, death. 
 
 9. The punishments are, debt, black eyes, rags, hunger,

 1. The improvement of a little time maybe eain to all 
 eternity ; and the loss of a little time may be th atcst 
 loss that can be. 
 
 2. In eating^ and drinking, let a man do noth i raxj, 
 to the hraltli of his body ; nothing to indispose • - ^ 
 mn and insirument of the soul ; nothing to tht Ji 
 of himself as a rational being, created in the image oi (.•^d. 
 
 3. Modesty and humility are the sobriety of the mind ; 
 temi)erancc and chastity are the sobriety of the body. 
 
 4. He is not likely to learn who is unwilling to be taught, 
 for the learner has something to do as well as the teacher. 
 
 5. Tlie profane swearer sins for nothing, upon no temp* 
 tation, for no credit; unless it be a credit not to be believed. 
 
 6. No man is convinced of truth by seeing another per- 
 son fall into a passion. He rather suspects error and design, 
 
 7. Those who think themselves wise are the least wise of 
 any. It is a wise man's motto, "I live to be wiser every day." 
 
 8. When we do any good to others we do as much oi 
 more good to ourselves. 
 
 9. Tliere is more solid satisfaction in 
 ment than in all the pleasures of the world. 
 
 10. The precepts of religion are principles of wisdom. 
 There is no true majesty without goodness. A repining 
 life is a lingering death. 
 
 11. Laziness is mors painful than industry: and to b« 
 •employed is easier than to be idle., 
 
 12. Never speak evil of any one, unless to prevent injury 
 to yourself or the community. Evil-speaking generally 
 proceeds from envy, pride, or malice.

 an envelope, commonly called a balloon. 
 
 2. AgriaUture^ the most innocent and useful of all pursuits, is tin 
 art of cultivating the ground, so as to make it fruitful in the produc 
 lion of food for man and beast. 
 
 3. Algebra is a method of calculating quantities in general, by 
 means of signs or characters, which, instead of figures, arc the letter* 
 of the Alphabet. The first letters, a, 6, c, </, &c. are made to reprc> 
 Bent known quantities; and the last letters, Xy y, z, to represent those

 4. Anatomy is the art of dissecting bodies for the purpose of exam* 
 loing their structure, and the nature, uses, and functions of their seve- 
 ral parts; and also of the knowledge of the human body derived i'rum 
 Biich dissections and examinations. Anatomy, taken absolutely, aji* 
 plies only to the dissection of human subjects; the dissection and ex* 
 aminatioit of brutes is called Comparative Anatomv. < i-wjiji 
 
 b» Architecture is the art of erecting all sorts of buildings, whethet 
 for habitation or defence, according to the best plans or moidels. It is 
 divided into three distinct branches; namely. Civil, Military, and Naval. 
 
 6. There are five orders of Civil Architecture, the Tuscan, Doric, 
 Ionic, Corinthian and Composite. Some ddd to these the Gothic, 
 exemplified in the construction of most cathedrals and old churches. 
 
 7. Arithmettc is the art of numbering or computing by certain rule«>, 
 of which the four first and simplest are ad'Ution, subtraction, multipli* 
 cation and division. Vulgar Arithmetic is the computation of num- 
 bers in the ordinary concerns of life. Integral Arithmetic treats of 
 whole numbers; iF'ractional Arithmetic or fractional numbers; and 
 Decimal Arithmetic of decimal numbers.

 V^enus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn are very conspicuous, and have been

 ftove round him from west to east. 
 
 4. Satellites aro bodies which accompany some of the Planets, and 
 hey are eighteen in number. The moon is a satellite to the earth; 
 'upiler has four moons or satellites; Saturn seven, aiid Uranus six, 
 ^lurn is also surrounded with tAVo luminous rings. 
 
 5. Comets are opaque bodies like the planets, moving in defined but 
 very eccentric orbits round the sun; but we know very little of them, 
 as the periods of only a few have been ascertained with any degree of 
 exactness. Comets have received their name from coma, or the vapour 
 with which they are surrounded.

 7. A Constellation is an assemblage of fixed stars, imagined to re- 
 present the for.m of some creature or other object, as a bear, a ship, and

 convenient in describing the scars. 
 
 8. The division of the heavens into constellations is very ancient^

 jiom by name in the sacred writinq;s, as in the book of Job,andintiie

 9. Some of the constellations are also mentioned by Homer and He- 
 Jod, who nourished above nine hundred years before Christ; and 
 tLratiis, who lived about two hundred and seventy-seven years belore 
 Christ, professedly treats of all such as were marked out by the an- 
 cients. These were forty-eight in number, called the old constellations, 
 lO which have since been added others, called new constellations. 
 
 10. There are twelve constellations placed in the Zodiac, which in 
 a fancied broad circle in the heavens, through which the sul appears 
 to move in the compass of a year. The signs north of th.* equinoctial

 . \. Biography is the history of the lives of eminent men, the reading 
 of wliich is not only^ amusing and entertaimng, but is of the j^eatest 
 use, for it gives an insight into human nature, and excites us to imitate 
 the actions of the good, and to avoid those of the wicked. 
 
 2. Botany is that part of natural history which treats of plants, theii 
 several kiniJs, forms, virtues, and uses, and is a very deligntful study ; 
 besides, it displays the wisdom and glory of the Creator, for-~ 
 
 There's not a plant, or flower that g^rows, 
 But shews its maker — God. 
 
 3. Chemistry is that science which investigates the composition 
 and properties of bodies, and by which we are enabled to explain the 
 causes of the natural changes which take place in material substances. 
 It is of tlie highest importance to mankind, since by its investigations, 
 the practical arts are constantly improving. 
 
 4. All satisfactory explanatiojn of the causes of rain, hail, dew, wind, 
 earthquakes, and volcanoes, have been given by the aid of chemical 
 knowledge. The phenomena of respiration, the decay and growth of 
 plants, and the functions of the several parts of animals, are also ex* 
 plained by the aid of Chemistry. 
 
 5. In its application to agriculture. Chemistry furnishes the most 
 direct and certain means ofascertaining what a barren soil requires to 
 make it fruitful, and also what ingredient is best adapted to any j;iven 
 kind of produce. The making of soap, glass, the several kinds oiacid, 
 and almost every kind of medicine, depend wholly on the manipula' 
 (iOns of Chemistry. It is also connected, in various degrees, with the 
 art of the potter, iron-smith, tanner, sugar-maker, distiller, brewer, | 
 paper-maker, and painter. 
 
 6. Chronology is the art of measuring time, and distinguishing it; i 
 parts, so as to determine what period has eb -"d since any niemorabla | 
 event. The term is derived from two Gre<i -rds, chronos and logos 
 which singify time and description. 
 
 7. Time has two divisions, a smaller arid a greater. The smaller I 
 division consists of years, months, weeks, days, hours, minutes and 
 seconds, deduced from the motions of the heavenly bodies, and suited 
 to the purposes of civil life. J'he larger division consists of epochsj

 1. Commerce is the art of buying and selling, or the exchangino; o« 
 ; one commodity for another. By its aid, one country partakes oi the 
 
 produce, and enjoys the advantages of another. 
 
 2. Electricity is the science which treats of the electric power, and 
 its various laws, operations, effects, experiments, &c. The electric 
 power is that property first discovered in amber, of attracting light 
 bodies when excited by heat or friction. It has since been found in 
 otfier bodies, as sealing wax, agate, and most kinds of precious stones. 
 
 3. Ethics is the science of moral duties, shewing the rules and 
 measures of human conduct which tend to happiness ; its object is 
 the exercise of right rea& m in all our affairs and actions. 
 
 4. Geography is a description of the earth. Geometry treats of lines, 
 surfaces, and solids, and is the doctrine of extension and magnitude in 
 general. Grammar is the art of speaking and writing any language 
 with correctness and propriety. 
 
 5. History, in its most general sense, is an account or description of 
 events and things in an orderly series, comprehending civil or political 
 history, sacred history, ecclesiastical history, and natural history. It 
 is sometimes divided into ancient and modern, sacred and profane. 
 
 6. Ancient history gives an account of all things, from the creation 
 * of the world to the birth of Christ. Modern history gives an accoun 
 5 (f all things from the birth of Christ tf he present time. 
 
 7 Sacred history is that which isccnta'ned in the Bible, making us

 1. Jurisprudence is the art of conducting the affairs of a public so 
 ciety or community, so as to procure and preserve, in the highest de 
 gree possible, the mterest and happiness of the whole, and of each in 
 dividual. 
 
 2. Society is divided into three sorts, namely, a family, a city, and a 
 republic or nation; and as these consist of persons in a different rela* 
 tion to each other, so, various and different forms of government ara 
 found necessary for each. 
 
 3. The several laws are the law of nature, the civil law, and ths 
 law of nations. The law of nature is that which nature and reason 
 have taught mankind, as the power it gives to parents over their chil* 
 dKn. 
 
 4. The law of nations consists of public acts and statutes, which 
 provide for the public utility, and the necessity of the people, consid- 
 ered as a body corporate; and ordain or decree whatever relates tc 
 obedience and subjection, dominion and government, war and peace 
 contracts, &c. 
 
 5. The civil law is that which is peculiar to any country or people, 
 %nd administers that justice which arises from their particular situation, 
 tnd special relations and circumstances. When this respects a city 
 or borough, it is called the municipal law. 
 
 6. The laws by which England is governed are the Civil Law, be- 
 fore-mentioned. The Common Law, containing the summary of all 
 the laws, rights, and privileges of the people of England, in what is 
 tailed Magna Charta, or the Great Charier, of English Bights.

 . .,3i ., , ' ,. .;- . LESSON 14. ..„ . . V. "./ . 
 
 1. Language is human speech in general, or an assemblage of ar 
 nculate sounds, forming words and signs for the expression of the 
 thoughts of the mind. The great number and diversity of languages 
 arose from the building of the Tower of Babel, as related in the elev- 
 enth chapter of Genesis. 
 
 2. Languages are divided into the dead and living languages. The 
 uead languages are those which were spoken formerly, but which are 
 nut at this time spoken by any nation. Those languages which are 
 spcfken by different nations at the present day, are called living lan- 
 guages. 
 
 3." The principal of the dead languasfes are the Hebrew, Greek and 
 Latin ; and of the living in Europe the English, the French, the Italian, 
 the Spanish, the German, the Portuguese ; and many others in the 
 East. 
 
 4. Logic is the art of thinking and reasoning justly, and of commu- 
 nicating ihe result of our thoughts to others. It is dividjxl into four 
 parts, according to the number of the operations of the mind in itF 
 search after knowledge, namely, perception, judgment, reason, anc 
 method or disposition. 
 
 0. Perception is the first and most simple act of the mind, whereby 
 It perceives, or is conscious of its ideas. Judgment is that power of 
 (tie mind, whereby we join ideas together, and affirm or deny ai.| 
 vhiiig concerning tnem. 
 
 6. Season is that faculty or power of the mind wherebv it distin 
 ^uishes good from evil, truth from falsehood, and is used in compar 
 mg several ideas together, in order to draw the consequences from the 
 fclatiotis they are found to bear to each other. 
 
 7. Disposition or method, is ihe art of arranging our thoughts in 
 6uch a manner, as shall contribute most to the strength and beauty of 
 a discourse, and display the connexion and dependance of one part oi 
 the other. 
 
 8. Macadamizing is a method of making roads, introduced in Eng 
 kind by Mr. Mae Adam, and which consists \n breaking the sLiaes, iik

 9. Mathematics is that branch of science which treats of the quanti- 
 ties and proportions of magnitude in {general. It includes Arithmetic 
 Algebra, and Geometry; and is applicable to Astronomy, Hydrostat

 LESSON 15. 
 
 1. Mechanics is that branch of science which treats of the nature 
 and laws of motion, the action and force of moving bodies, the con 
 siruction of machines, &c. The simple mechanic powers are the le- 
 ver, the wheel and axle, the pulley, the inclined plane, the wedge, and 
 the screw. 
 
 2. Mineralogy is that science which treats of the properties and re- 
 lations of that numerous class of substances called mineral. Minerals 
 are divided into four classes, namely, tlie Earthy, tne Saline, the In- 
 flammable, and the Metallic. 
 
 3. Music is a science which teaches the properties, dependencies 
 and relations of melodious sounds; or the art of producing harmony 
 and melody, by the due combination and arrangement of those sounds. 
 
 4. This science, when employed in searching the principles of this 
 combination and succession, and the causes of the pleasure we receive 
 from them, become*? very profound, and demands much patience, sa« 
 gacity and depth of thinking. 
 
 5. It is generally understood, or supposed, that the word music is 
 derived from musa, but Diodorus derives it from an Egyptian name, in- 
 timating that music was first established as a science in E^ypt aftei 
 the deluge, and that the first idea of musical sound was received from 
 that produced by the reeds growmg on the banks of the Nile, by the 
 wind blowing into them. 
 
 6. Others, again, imagine, that the first ideas of music were received 
 from the warbling of birds. However this may really have been, ii 
 appears, at least, equally rational to attribute its origin to mankind, 
 since musical intonation in the infancy of language, must often have 
 been the natural result of passionate feeling; and since also we find, 
 that wherever there is speech there is song. v ^* 
 
 7. Music, properly so called, only concerns the due regulation and 
 proportion of sound, and is divided into two parts — the theoretical and 
 the practical. Theoretical Music comprehends the knowledge of har- 
 mony and modulation ; and the laws of that successive arrangement 
 of sound, by which air, or melody, is produced.

 the art of comi)usition. 
 
 9. But practical music may, in fact, be said to extend still further, 
 ind to include not only the production of melodious and harmonioui 
 composition, but also its perlormance ; which is considered as an inno> 
 (^t and affreeable recreation, as it relieves a wearied attention, and 
 r^'reshes the exhausted 8j)irits ; it also fretiuently calms the disquiet 
 mm! perturbation of the mind. ,<

 1. Mytluilogy is the history of the fabulous gods and heroes of an- 
 iquity. with the explanation of the mysteries and allegories connected 
 ivith them. The word is derived from the Greek, and signifies a dis- 
 course or description of fables. 
 
 2. Navigation is the art of conducting a vessel at sea from one port 
 to another. Ovtics is that branch of natural philosophy which treats 
 of the nature or light and colours, or of the general doctrine of vision. 
 
 3. Ornithology is that branch of Natural History which treats of 
 birds, and their natures, habits, form, economy, and uses. Painting 
 is the art of representing natural bodies by outline and colour. An 
 ingenious and useful art : it enables us to concentrate in one view the 
 form and beauty of objects, and greatly assists the mind in retaining 
 the resemblance of those objects which, without it, would be for evei 
 lost. Its essential parts are composition, drawing and colouring. 
 
 4. Philosophy is, properly, the love of wisdom, and is a term ap- 
 plied either to the study of nature or morality, founded on reason and 
 experience, or the systems which different men have devised of ex- 
 plaining the various phenomena in the natural and moral worid. 
 
 5. Phonics is the doctrine or science of sounds; it is sc v^^imes 
 called Acoustics. It is divided into two parts, Diaphonics and Cata- 
 phonics. 
 
 6. Dtaphonics is that science which explains the property of those 
 lounds that come directly from the sonorous body to the ear ; and 
 Cataphonics treats of reflected sounds, or is the science of echoes. j 
 
 7. The principal use of Phonics is in relati(»i to music, to which i { 
 gives a basis on the principles of mathematics. Experiment has de 
 uionstrated, that if a musical string of any length ^ive a certain tone 
 half that length will give the octave, two thirds of it the fifth, and th« 
 other notes of the scale in exact proj)ortion. 
 
 B. Phrenology is a new subject oi investigation, which professes to 
 teach, from the conformation of the human skull, the particular char- 
 acters and propensities of men prestuuing that the faculties and ope>

 ling pansinns, from the features of the face, and the oast of tl.d coun^ 
 tonanoo. This science, as well as that of Phrenology, cannot, perhapt 
 oe much depended on. 
 
 10. Phifmolofry is that branch of medicine irhich treats of th^ 
 fttruoture and constitution of the human body, and the functions of thj 
 various parts, with regard to the cure of diseases. • 
 
 11. Pneumatics is the science which treats of the mechanical prop 
 erties of air, and other compressible fluids. The principal mechanical 
 properties of air which are treated of under this science are its fluidity] 
 weight, and elasticity. . '^^^ ,r,^x^ul^ ,-i3i i

 1. Poetry is the art of writing 'poems, namely, real or fictitiou 
 compositions drawn out in measured language. As respects the sub- 
 ject, it is divided into pastorals, satires, elegies, epigrams, &c. ; as rC' 
 spects the manner or form of representation, into epic, lyric, aD< 
 dramatic poetry, &c. ; as respects the verse into blank verse am 
 rhyme. 
 
 2. Politics is the art of governing and regulating the affairs of i 
 state or kingdom, for the maintenance of the public safety, order am 
 tranquillity. 
 
 3. Priniinf!^ is the art of taking impressions from characters or fig 
 ure.s, moveable or immoveable, on paper, linen, silk, &c. Printing ii 
 of four kinds, namely, one for books, from moveable letters, compoaw 
 and sot in a form, and another for books from solid pages ; a third fo 
 pictures, from copper-plates ; a fourth for printing calicoes, linens, kc. 
 from blocks, on which are represented different figures. The first ol 
 these is printing properly so called ; the second is stereotype printing 
 the third copper-plate printing ; and the fourth calico-printing. 
 
 4. Religion is that sentiment of veneration, dependence, and lovi 
 which binds to the Df ity, and is expressed in such acts of worship 
 he himself hws prescribed. 
 
 5. IVidoric is the art of expressing our ideas so as to please, affecl 
 and persuade, either in writing or speaking. A good orator must poi 
 isess an inventive genius, a correct judgment, command of language, 
 retentive memory, and an agreeable delivery. 
 
 (i. A regular thesis usually consists of five parts, namely, the exoi 
 dlum, the narration, the confirmation, the refutation, and the peron 
 tion. The exordium, or introduction, prepares the minds of tb

 9. The peroration, or conclusion, is a compressed recapitulation of 
 ill that has been said, and it must be determined hy the nature of ihft 
 iliscourse; it is designed to fix in the minds of tlie auditors the full

 THE TEACHER'S COUNSEL TO HIS PUPILS. 
 
 LESSON 17. 
 
 I. Ye docile youths, who learning love 
 And would in various arts improve, 
 And to be taught to me repair, 
 These precepts in your memory bear. 
 When morning first unseals your eyes, 
 And bids you to yoar labours rise. 
 To God with pious ardour pray, 
 That he would bless the passing day ' 
 For all your studies are but vain, 
 Which no celestial blessing gain. 
 
 C Then wash'd, and decent in your dress, 
 Let each in school assume his pl^^ce, 
 And while you at your books remain, 
 Let thoughtful silence always reign ;

 For stillness, I have found by use, 
 Will to your progress much conduce.

 .• First imitate your copies well : 
 
 Down strokes make strong, and ujiward fine 
 And boldness, with your ^eedora, join. 
 Jf, by luxuriant fancy bent, 
 Ydu aim at curious ornament. 
 Your plastic pen, by frequent use, 
 May fishes, beasts, and birds produce, 
 
 ; But chiefly strive to gain a hand 
 for business, Mnth a just command. 
 
 , When Agures exercise your quill,

 But reason here must be ap[)lied. 
 As you the learned track pLrsue, 
 Fresh useljil scenes v/ill crowd your view; 
 The mathematics' spacious held, 
 Will grand and noble prospecis yield; 
 Whether by maps, o'er seas you rove. 
 Or trace the starry heavens above, 
 What rapturous pleasures will you find, 
 When demonstration leasts the mhid !

 While boys of larger size resori 
 Tu iiunie more strung; ami manly sport 
 But see you give no ulace to rage, 
 Nor money in your play engage ; 
 For sordid tliirsr r/Tain destroys 
 wi :«actf ci mm j^-ai men ana boys. 
 
 \bominate the lying tongue, 
 
 And scorn to do your fellow wrong* 
 
 From oaths, and idle talk, refrain. 
 
 And doubtful fables, for they're vain. 
 
 13ut if sometimes you be inclin'd 
 
 To give refreshment to the mind, , 
 
 Historians, and poetic lays, 
 
 At once will b(;th instruct and please. 
 
 In English writers we abound. 
 
 In whom much useful learning's found; 
 
 But frivolous song, and wild romance, 
 
 Be ever banish 'd far from hence.

 Think it no task to read in youth 
 The Testaments of sacred truth ; 
 With diligence peruse them through, 
 In every language that you know; 
 By day revolve them with delight, 
 And on them meditate by night. — 
 W hen to your meals the call you hear, 
 At once, without delay, appear; 
 At table in decorum sit ; 
 All prating is forbid at meat. 
 In food observe the golden mean, 
 And keep your clothes and linen clean ; 
 And when you've eat what does sutlice 
 Thank Heaven, and in good order rise.

 Capes and Promontories. 
 
 The water is divided into Oceans, Seas, Lakes, Bays, Gulfs anc 
 Straits. 
 
 A Continent is the largfest extent of land, containing^ many kinw 
 doms and states, as Europe, Asia, &c. — An Island is a smaller portion | 
 of land, wholly surrounded by water, as Great Britain, Ireland, &c.-. 
 /\ Penin?«ula is land almost surrounded by water, as the Morea in 
 Greece, Jutland, &c. — An Isthmus is a narrow neck of land, joining a I 
 peninsula to the main land, as tlie Isthmus of Corinth in Greece. — A 
 Promontory is a high land, jutting far into the sea. — A Cape is the |

 'caching Asia, as he intended, he found America : still he was persua- 
 ded that those Isljmds were the western part of India ; and before a 
 ButFicient number of voyages could be accomplished to convince hirn 
 of his error, he died. From this mistaken notion of his, the islands

 CONCLUDING 0BS2RVATI0NS. 
 
 The Earth in shape resembles an orange, being nearly round. It \» 
 more than twenty-four thousand miles round, and eight thousand 
 tnrough ; and is ninety-five millions of miles from the sun. 
 
 The E^alor is a great circle, which divides the earth into two 
 equal parts, at an equal distance from each pole; and it is so called, 
 because, when the sun is in this circle, the days and nights are equal 
 to all the inhabitants of the earth. 
 
 The poles are two points of the earth opposite to each other, the 
 one called north, and the other south. These points are only ima- 
 |;inary, as are also the circles. All parts of the earth, with respect to 
 their situations, are either to the north or south of the equator ; and 
 tlie distance of places is counted from it towards the north or south 
 pole. The poles are ninety degrees from the equator; half a circle is 
 180 degrees; and a whole circle, whether great or small, is 360 de- 
 l^ees. 
 
 The tropics are two lesser circles, called Cancer and Capricorn. 
 The troj>ic of Canqvr is 23i decrees north of th« equator, aadj th« 
 tropic of Cdi}>riconi23i south e^' the equator.

 TIIK CANADA 
 
 The polar circles are two lesser circles, called Arctic and Antarctic; 
 ihe arciic or north polar circle is (iiii degrees IVom the eijuaior, und 
 the antarctic or souih polar circle is ihe same distance south of the 
 equator. The jiolar circles are also H^k degrees I'roin ihe poles. 
 
 The ecliptic is a great circle descrihed by the sun in the space of a 
 year. It surrounds the globe between the two troj)ics, and crosses 
 the equator at two opposite points. 
 
 All lines drawn from one pole to the other are called meridians. 
 When the sun comes to the meridian of a place, it is then noon oj 
 mid-day at that place. We may imagine as many meridians as-we 
 please, for every place has a meridian. The meridian or line drawn 
 from north to south over Greenwich, in England, is called the first oi 
 lixed meridian. 
 
 There are two horizons ; one called the sensible or visible, and the 
 other (he rational horizon. Then sensible horizon is the boundary of 
 our sight, being that circle where M'e sky and earth seem to meet. The 
 rational horizon cuts the earth into two eijual parts, and is parallel to 
 the sensible horizon. Ihe poles of the horizon are called Zenith and 
 ^•nlir; thezeniilt point is thai part directly overhead; and the nadii 
 IS that point opposite to it under our feet. 
 
 A degree in a great circle contains GO geoarraphical or 6^ J English 
 miles, but the admeasurement of a less circle varies according as it 
 approaches towards the poles. 
 
 A mile in geography is called a minute. Fifteen degrees make an 
 an hour of time. 
 
 Places on the earth are distinguished by their situations, which are 
 found by their latitude and longitude. The latitude of a |)lace is it» 
 distance north or south of the eijuaior. If it be on the north side ol 
 the equator, it is said lobe in the north latitude; if on the south side, 
 in south latitude. All places on the earth are either in north or south 
 latitude, except at the equator where there is no latitude, because 
 .-aiiiude begins there. The greatest latitude a place can have is 90 
 degrees, and there are only two places that have so much, which 
 are the poles. Ui>od a ma]) the latitude is found at the sides; if il 
 increases upwards, it is north ; if downwards, it is south. 
 
 Longitude is the distance of a place from the first meridian to th» 
 east or west. If it be on the east side, it is east longitude, &c. The 
 greatest longitude a place can have is 180 degrees, which is one half 
 of the circumference of the globe. Longitude is found upon a map 
 at tlie top and bottom. The degrees of longitude are not equal, like 
 those of latitude, but diminish in proportion as the meridians incline 
 towards the poles. Hence, in GO degrees of latitude, a degree of lon- 
 gitude is but half the quantity of a degree upon the equator, and so io 
 proportion for the rest. 
 
 Zones are certain spaces that encompass the earth like a girdle 
 these are five in number, namely, one torrid, two temperate, and two 
 frigid or frozen zones. The torrid zone includes all that part of the 
 earth wliich is situated between the tropics. The temperate zones 
 
 \^

 ees make an 
 
 include all those porta of the tarth which are situated betw4>^A »h^ 
 tropics and polar circles. The frii^id /ones are situated between ii»* 
 polar circles, extending round eacii pole, nnd are called frigid or rro^en, 
 from the rays of the sun falling so very obliquely in lliose parts, wiiiob- 
 renders them excessively cold.

 ENGLISH GRAMMAIl. " , ' 
 
 Grammar is the art of expressing our thoughts clearly and coi 
 rectly, and is divioeu into four parts, natuely, Orthography, Etymol 
 ogy. Syntax, and Prosody. 
 
 Orthography is the an of writing words with the proper an^ 
 necessary letters. 
 
 Etymology treats of the properties and derivation of words. 
 
 Syntax leaches us to place our word* properly together in sen- 
 tences. 
 
 Prosody teaches us the art of accenting and pronouncing words 
 with propriety. 
 
 Grammar is composed of letters, syllables, words, and sentences. 
 
 Of the parts oj Speech. 
 
 There are in English nme sorts of words, namely, the Substantive, 
 the Artifele, the Adjective, the Pronoun, the Verb, the Adverb, the 
 Preposition, the Conjunction, and the Interjection. 
 
 Of the Article. 
 
 An article is a word used before substantives, to denote their signi* 
 iication ; as a man, the man. There are two articles a (or an) and 
 <Ac ; an is only used before a vowel, and a silent h ; as an H2,g^ an 
 hour; if A be sounded, a only is to be used ; as a hand, a heart. TA« 
 is to be used beforegeither vowels or consonants; as Me egg, //te hour, 
 the boy, the girl. J--:'^ , j.;; \ , 
 
 OA or an is called indefinite, because it does not determine what par- 
 ticular thing is meant ; as a man, an liour ; meaning any man, any 
 hour.JSL 
 
 The is called definite, as it ascertains what particular thing or 
 things are meant ; as there goes the man with the wood, meanins 
 some particular man and wood alluded to, or that were spoken of 
 before^ 
 
 Of Substantives, 
 
 A substantive is the name of any thing that exists, o; of which we 
 have any notion : as, Kingston^ man, goodness. A substantive may be 
 known by prefixmg the words " / speak of^' and whatever word then 
 completes the sense is a substantive, as, I speak 0/ goodness, wisdom, 
 gold. 
 
 Substantires are divided into proper and common. A proper nam*

 or subsmntive is that which is ^Appropriated to an individual of a kind; 
 as, James. Toroulo, St. lAttvrcnce. A sulisiiujlive conuuoii is ilmt 
 which belongs to all of a kind ; as, ma/i, cj/y, river. — To subhUuiiivcs 
 belong gender, number and case. 
 
 Of Gender. , ' ' - ■ 
 
 Gender is the distinction of sex. There are fiMX^^fjendors ; mascu- 
 line, feminine, cmnMipn, and neuter.' The masculine gender denous 
 animals of the male kind ; as, a horse, n bv/L The feminine gem!.-! 
 signifies animals of the female kind ; as, a mare, a cow. Such-wonl* 
 fl*.include both gendersareof the common gender; ns, friend, ptire>d 
 fWords which denote things of neither sex are of the neuter gender, 
 ''' ^^jhonscj stone, happiness. 
 
 jThere are three methods of siiewing the difference of sex. 1st. By 
 different words; as, Hoy, Girl, &c. 2. By dilferent termhiations; as. 
 Governor, Governess, &c. 3. By a noun, pronoun, or adjective, beinj; 
 prefixed to the substantive; as, a man-scrcant^Arnuid'Servanl, &c. &c. 
 
 Number. ,1--, 
 
 Number is the distinction of one from many. There are two num- 
 bers; the singular and i)!ural. The singular speaks of one; as, a Aoy, 
 Bi book. The i)lural ^^]1eaks of more ihan one; iMi, bo t/s, books. The 
 
 filural number is generally formed by adding only s to the singular* 
 )Ut when ihe singular ends in ,r, ch, .1/1, or ss, it is necessary to adu cs , 
 as box, boxes, &c. Words that end in/ and /e form their plural i)y 
 changing these terminations into wes; as, ca/f, calves, &c. The Ibl- 
 lowing words are excej)iions, as they form iheir plural regularly by 
 adding only s ; namely, hoof roof ^rief, dwarf mischief handkerchief 
 relief\\ Subsianiives that end in y form their plural by changing {\\ii y 
 into ics, if it be preceded by a consonant ; as, lly,^fes, key, Acy.<il The 
 words child, man. woman, ox, brother, form their plural by making 
 the termination en; as, child, children; man, 7rtt'7t, &c. /Some words 
 are used alike in both numbers; as, deer, sheep, swine, and we dis- 
 tinguish the singular from the plural in these words by putting the 
 article a or the number one before the singular ; as, a deer, one deer; 
 a sheep, one sheep. Some words have no singular ; as, ashes, lon!:s, 
 &c., and others no plural; as, wheat, gold, &c. Some are very irre- 
 gularly formed ; as goose, geese; tooih, teeth, See. The following 
 form the plural by the difference of their termination; as, 
 
 plu. 'iftg-

 oomes befure the verb ; as ia *' James loves play" where Jamu ii ttM 
 Mnninative case. 
 
 The genitive case implies property or possession, and has for its 
 sign the preposition of i as, *' the love q^ God," or it has an Apos- 
 trophe, with the letters coming after it; as, "God's love." The 
 apostrophic $ is omitted when the si' ^^ular ends in ss ; as, ** for good- 
 ness* and righteousness* sake." Xt^lien several names are coupled 
 together in the genilive case, the»apostrophic s is joined to the last 
 only, and understood at the rest; as, *^John^ JatneSf and Robert'* 
 house." ^ ■ 
 
 The accusative case generally follows a verb active, or a prepof:'* 
 tion ; as, "I love James," "James is in school."— The vocative ca»e 
 IS known by calling or speaking to ; as, ** James, come here." Jamea 
 is in the vucative case. The vocative case is perhaps necessary ; be- 
 cause it is the case in which every person speaks. Every other con- 
 oexion in which the substantive is placed, is formed by prepositions.

 the positive in signilicalion ; as, greater, smaller; and i» formed hy 
 addmg r or er. The superlative degree increases or diminishes the 
 the positive to the utmost ; as, largest, smallest ; and is formed by 
 adding St or est. The comparative and superlative degrees are also 
 formed hy placing the adverbs more and most before the adjectives ; 
 as more pleasant, most pleasant. More and moat are generally used 
 before words of more tnan one sfilable. Some adjectives of very 
 common use are irregularly formed ; as, positive good ; comparative 
 belter ; superlative best. All the adjectives have not the degrees of 
 comparison, because their signification will not admit of them ; as 
 all, several, some, one, two, first, &c. 
 
 Adjectives sometimes stand by themselves, but then a substantive 
 is always undt-rstood; as, *'Do you ride tlie white or the black P 
 Here horse is understood lo both. Thus the adjective signifies noth- 
 ing by itself, and can convey no idea to the mind without a substan* 
 tive, expressed or understood. By this an adjective may be readily 
 distinguished.

 » Pronouns. 
 
 A pronoun is a word used instead of a noun or substantive, to avoid 
 /he loo frequent repetition of the same word ; as, " the nian is merry 
 he laughs, he sings." There are three kinds of pronouns ; the per* 
 sonal, the relative, and the adjective. \To pronouns belong number, 
 person, gender, and case. Pronouns have two numbers, the singuiat 
 and the plural, the same as substantives f as, /, thou, he, she, it; loe

 A relative pronoun is that which relates or answers to some precc 
 ding word or phrase, called the antecedent. The relative nronoiins 
 are, Ac, that, who and which ; as, " the boy is cfood who atier.ds lo the 
 advice of his parents." The interrojjative pronouns are ivho, what, 
 and which, beinij those which are made use of in asking a que.stion, 
 as, " Who is there ?" " What are you doing?" *• Which is the hook ?" 
 
 The dilTercnce between the nature of a relative pronoun, and an in- 
 terrogative is this, that the relative has reference lo a subject which 
 is anipcedent, definite, and known ; but the iiiterrogative has reference 
 to a subject which is subsequent, indefinite, and unknown, and which 
 is expressed and ascertained in the answer. Who is used when we 
 speak of persons only; as, "loAo will instruct me:" which when we 
 speak of persons or things; as, '^ which is the boy ?" TAfff sometimes 
 supplies the place of who and which; as, "he that acts wisely de- 
 ferves praise;" and " the boy that is diligent is rewarded." Who is 
 yi 'jofh numbers, and is thus declined : — 
 
 Nom. who. 
 
 Gen. whose. 
 
 Aec. whom.

 Adjective pronouns partake of the nature of both pronoun and art- 
 |Pciive, and are divided into four sorts; namely, the "possessive, the 
 jisiributive, the demonstrative, and the indefiniie. 
 
 The possessive j)ronouiis are, my, mine, thy, Ihtne, his, hrr, hers, its, out

 Mcir, are joint'tl to a fulisianiive ; as •'>«»/ book," "yoMtpeii." Mine., 
 thine, hers, ours, yours, ana thcfrs, ar« used without a suljstaniive. 
 which is, liowever, undersiocxl though not expressed ; as, " this book 
 is mt«c," " iliis pen is Mi//c." 
 
 The distribuitve pronouns are, each, every, either, neither ; nnd nre 
 8o called because ihey relate to person or thini»s tl)at make up a nuiU' 
 ber, as taken se[)arately and sin<;lv ; as, " c«c/i of his coujpuiiions;' 
 " every person must account for himself." " I have not seen ctlhoi 
 «f ihem ;" " have you seen neither of my comrades ?" 
 
 Tlie demonstrative pronouns particularly point out the subjt'ct lo 
 which they relate ; as, " th, \ is real munificence, that is by no means 
 so." This refers to the nearest person or thuii?, and that io i!»e more 
 distant; as, •' this tree is higher than <//«<." This indicates the lat- 
 ter or last mentioned; that the former or first mentioned; as, ''an 
 nrmy, as well as a Heet, is necessary to the security of a state; t/itf 
 from aitacku by sea, that from those by land." Thts makes these in 
 tJie plural ; and that makes those. 
 
 Jndelinite pronouns are those which express their subjects in a gen- 
 eral and indefinite manner; as, *^sornc men are virtuous, others vi- 
 cious." The following are of this kind ; some, other, any, one, all, 
 mch, <SfC. Of these pronouns, one and other alone are varied; us, o/tc, 
 one's ; other, othcr^s. * 
 
 Of Verbs. 
 
 A cerb is a word which signifies to be, to do, or to sulfer ; as, I atn, 
 I rufc. I am ruled. A verb may be known by its making sense with 
 any of the personal pronouns, or by placing the word to before it ; as, 
 I tcrite, you play, they toil ; or to write, lo play, to toil. There are 
 three sorts oi verbs, the active or transitive, the neuter or intransitive, 
 and the passive. 
 
 An active or transitive verb is so called, because the action passes 
 to some object ; as, '• / love virtue.^' Here / is the agent, love the 
 verb, and virtue the object. 
 
 A verb neuter or intransitive is that wliich may denote an action or 
 not, but it has no efl'ect upon any tiling beyond the agent ; as, 7 sit, 1 
 walk. A verb neuter may be known from a verb active by putting 
 the pronoun it to the verb, and if it mnke sense, it is active, but oth- 
 erwise neuter ; for a verb neuter will not take a substantive after it. 
 
 A verb passive is that which expresses bearing or suft'ering, as ii 
 declares what is sufl'ered by the nominative or person before it; and 
 necessarily implies an aa:ent or actor, either expressed or understood, 
 as, "you are punished by John." Here Jb/m is the agent or actor, 
 are punished the passive verb, so called because its nominative case 
 yeu is the passive subject, or that which receives the action. 
 
 Verbs with regard to their inHection, are divided into regular, irre- 
 gular, and defective. A regular verb ibrms its tenses and partici])ie«

 according to the umal inudes. Irrrs^ular verbs are taose which bor^ 
 ruw thfir lenHcs and pnriiciples Cioin uihcr verbs; or lurni tbem coii- 
 trarv to the usual mode. Defeciivu verbs are those which are only 
 used ill some of their moods and tenses; as, am, can, wtll, ice. An 
 auxiliary verb is one that is put before another verb to denote th« 
 time, or signify the mood, or manner of a verb. They are do, be, have, 
 thall, wtll, may, can, with their vuriationn; und let and must which

 -■"■■• Of the Participle. •' 
 
 A participle is a certain form o{ the verb, and partakes of the nature 
 both uf the verb and the adjective. There are three participles; the 
 ore«eut, wh»:h ends in tni,''; tiie perfect, which ends in e</; and the 
 <X)m pound perfect ; &9, lovtnij;, loved, having loved. ,. • , \ 
 
 ♦li *• • Number and Person. ' 
 
 Verbs have two numbers, the singular and the plural ; as, / tvnU 
 mt write ; and in each number three persons ; as, •Mr 
 
 singular. 
 
 First person - • 
 Second Person- 
 Third person •

 Of Moods. 
 
 Moods signify the various ways of expressing our intentions. There 
 m.xe tive moods ; the indicative, the imperative, tiie potential, the sub" 
 funcltve, and the infinitive. 
 
 The indicative mood simply indicates or declares a thing ; as, " ] 
 learn, I do not learn," or else it asks a question ; as, '^ dost thou learn ? 
 dost thou not learn ?" 
 
 The imperative mood cr- uands, exhorts, entreats, or forbids ; as 
 •• Fear God; honour the iving; love your neighbour as yourself." 
 
 The potential mood xpresses a thing as possible, and implies lib- 
 erty, power, will, or obligation ; as, " I may love, it may ram, I can 
 ride, he should learn." 
 
 The subjunctive mood implies a condition, will, or supposition; 
 and commonly depends upon another verb, and is also preceded by a 
 conjunction, expressed or understood ; as, " I will go, though you 
 chide me." "Were he good, he would be happy ;" that is, "if he 
 were good," &c. 
 
 The infinitive mood expresses a thing in a general and indetermi 
 nate manner, without any distinction of number or person; as, "tt 
 act, to speak, to be feared." This mood is known by the preposition 
 to coming before the verb; as, " to love." 
 
 Of Tense. 
 
 \ 
 
 
 w • 
 
 Tense signifies the distinction of time, which consists of six varift* 
 
im 
 
 THE CANADA 
 
 tion« ; iht present, the imperfect, the perfect, the pluperfect, and th4 
 fir»l and second future. 
 
 The present tense represents an action or event as passing at thf 
 time when it is mentioned ; as, '* I write, T do write, or 1 am writing* 
 Do, am, with their infiectiuns, are the signs of this tense. 
 
 The imperfect tense represents an action as passed indeterminately 
 or as remaining unfinished at a certain time past ; as, *^ I loved he 
 for the sweetness of her mind." " She was playing on the pian' 
 when I saw her." The signs are did and was, willi their intieciions. 
 
 The perfect tense not only refers to what is passed, but also has a«i 
 Allusion to the present time; as, "I have learned my lesson;" "J 
 have learned the lesson that was recommended to me. 
 
 The pluperfect tense represents a thing not only completely fin- 
 ished, but also as finished prior to some other time specified in th« 
 sentence; as, "I had learned my lesson before you came in." Its 
 signs are had and liad been, with their inflections. 
 
 The first future tense represents the action as yet to come, defi- 
 nitely or indefinitely, that is, with or without respect to the precise 
 lime; as, "the sun will rise lo morrow ai Jire o^nlock,^^ definitely; 
 " the sun will rise to-morrnw,'^ indefinitely. This tense is known By 
 the signs shall or will, or shall he, or will be. 
 
 The second future represents the action to be fully accomplished at 
 or before the tin»e of another future action or event ; as, " I shali 
 have finished my writing at or before twelve o'clock." Shall have and 
 nail have been, are the signs of this tense. 
 
 Conjugation. 
 
 The conjugation of a verb is the method of varying it through all 
 the |)ersons, numbers, moo<ls and tenses. The variation of the activa 
 verb is called the active voice ; that of the passive verb, the passive 
 voice.

 Of Adverbs. 
 
 An adverb is a word joined to a verb, an adjective, and sometimes 
 to another adverb, to modify their actions or qualities ; as, *' he reads 
 well, a truly good man, he writes venj correctly.'''' 
 
 Some adverbs have degrees of comparison like adjectives ; as, sooriy 
 iooner, soonest ; and those ending in ly are compared by more and 
 most ; as, bravely, more bravely, most bravely. 
 
 The adverbs most frequently used are those that relate to time 
 place, number, order, quality, certainty, contingence, negation, ex« 
 plaining, separation, joining together, indication, interrogation, excess 
 defect, preference, likeness or equality, unlikeness or inequality, abate- 
 ment and exclusion. 
 
 Those of lime are ; now, to-day, yesterday, &c. Of place ; where, 
 kercy there, ice. Of number; once, twice, kc. Of ovder, lastly, firstf

 Prepositions. 
 
 Prepositions serve to connect words with one another, and to show! 
 their relation, situation, or the reference between them , as, *' btj 
 went/r«m Peterboro', through Port Hope, to Cobourg.'' 
 
 The following are the principal prepusitiuns, namely, to, at, before\ 
 Qgainst, about, without, OMween, among, within, for, by, through, be*] 
 tides, except, after, since, until, behind, above, beyond, out, upon, ever, 
 of, unto on, from, with, in, into, kc. 'I'hey are called pre|H).siti(m», 
 because (iiey are generally placed before the words to which they 
 Itfer; as, "The kingdom of heaven is prepared /or the righteous.'* 
 
 Conjunctions. 
 
 A conjunction is used to connect sentences together, so as out of two I 
 lo make but one sentence. It sometimes connects only words. There | 
 are two sorts of conjunctions, the copulative, and tiie disjunctive. 
 
 The conjunction copulative serves to connect or to continue a sen- 
 tence, by expressing an addition ; as, " you and I are healthy, because \ 
 we are lemperaie." The conjuticiion disjunctive no' only coimecis 
 ind continues the sentence, bui also iipplies an opposition or dillerence 
 of meaning; as, "Though 1 have often attempted to learn it, yeti 
 eannoi succeed." 
 
 The principal copulative conjunctions are, and, tf, because, tha' 
 \oth,for, therefore, then, since, wherefore. The principal disjunctiv* 
 conjunctions are yet, notwithstanding, but, then, though, either, or 
 as, unless, neither, nor, lest, nevertheless. 
 
 That is sometimes a pronoun ; for is sometimes a preposition ; as, 
 lh'.y, and since, are sometimes adverbs. 
 
 Corresponding conjunctions are such as answer to each other in tn« 
 construction of a sentence; as. Though or although is answered by 
 yet, or nevertheless. Whether and either are answered by or. Neither 
 s answered by nor. As is answered by so. So is answered by as oi 
 hat. For example — Although she is not young, yet she is handsome. 
 Whether it were yoti or I. It was either this book or that. It wa« 
 vr'.her the one nor the other. It is as white as snow. As with th« 
 ttervant so with the master. It is so obvious that I need not n\«a« 
 lion it. •

 '/"■ " ^ ^ ■"' RULES IN SYNTAX. '/ '^. 
 
 1. Every nominative case, except tne case absolute, or wnen an 
 Address is made to a person, beloiigs to some verb expressed or under- 
 •tood. 
 
 2. When a nominative case neither refers to a verh, nor is used in 
 addressing, it is called absolvlp ; as, the door he'\x\g open, / entered. 
 
 3. The accusative case is tjoverned either by a preposition or by 
 verbs and participles used transitively; as, *' with me ; he hears me, 
 loving me. 
 
 4. The possessive case denotes the person or object of which some 
 
 Suality or possession is asserted ; as, •• .hkri's industry, Richard^i 
 ook ; industry is the quality of John, and book is the properly of 
 Richard. 
 
 5. The possession or quality is sometimes understood ; as, " I 
 called at the bookseller^ s^"*"* the possession shop beinij understood. 
 
 6. When possessives are connected by conjunctions, theapostrophic 
 '5 i* annexed to the last only ; as, " David and Jonathan's friendship." 
 But when any words intervene, the '.v is annexed to every possessive; 
 as, "He had the surgeon''s as well as doctor\s advice." 
 
 7. When a clause uf a sentence, beginnins; with a pnrtici]'le, is used 
 to express one idea or circumstance, the noun, on which the circum- 
 stance depends, is put in the possessive case; as, " What is the rea- 
 son of Williarn's dismissing his servant so hastily ? 
 
 8. When two nouns come toi^c'tJier, signifying the same person or 
 thing, the latter is in tht? same case as the former, by apposition; as 
 ** Solomon the son of David, was king of Israel." Solomon, son, and 
 king signify the same person, and are therefore in '^he sajne case. 
 
 9. Every adjective, and every adjective pronoun, belongs to a sub- 
 stantive, expressed, or understood : as, "/ctt are happy," that is "per- 
 
 on.? ;" " the oreew," that is, "co/owr;" " on the co/ifrrtry," that is, 
 ' side.'' 
 
 10. The pronoun adjectives, which have a plural form, must agree 
 in number with their nouns; as, this book, these books; that sort 
 Mo.vc sorts ; anoi/icr road, o^/tcr roads. 
 
 11. Adjeci'ves must not be applied as adverbs ; as " miserable poor ' 
 instead of " miserably poor." 
 
 12. Double comparatives and superlatives should be avoided; as, » 
 •* werser conduct ; the most strailest sect."

 14. Personal prunouns have the same construction as the nouns for 
 which they stiind. 
 
 lo. Per^unal pronouns are not employed in the same part of a sen* 
 tfnce as liienouti which they represent; as, the king he is just. 
 
 l(j. The personal pronouns must not be used tor these and those; OM^ 
 " give nie them books;" instead of " thone books." 
 
 i7 The genitive its is improperly used for tt is ; as, " its my book ;" 
 nstend of " tl is my booi.." 
 
 15. The neuter pronoun it is applied to nouns and pronouns, what* 
 ever may be their gender, or number ; as, " it ts he, tl is she, tt u they, 
 tt ts the hoofis." 
 
 19. Each, every, either, a^ree wit'i nouns, pronouns, and verbs of 
 iio sinaular number; each follows his own pursuit; every tree u 
 Known by tis fruit. 
 
 )iO. Either is used improperly instead of each ; •* the King of Eng- 
 land, and the Kiug of France, sat either of them on his throne." 
 
 21. Wlicn two persons or ihiniis are s|xjken of in a sentence, and 
 there is occasion to mention them ac^ain, tliat is used in reference to 
 the frirmer, and this in reference to tiie latter. "I prefer summer to 
 winter; that is warm, this is cold." 
 
 22. Every relative relates to an antecedent expressed or understooil, 
 with which ilie relative must agree in person, gender, and number, 
 / who speak, thou ivhi lovest, the dogs which bark. 
 
 2'A. If a nominative does not come between the relative and verb, 
 the rt'lntive shall be the nouiinaiive to the verb; as, Ae who speaks 
 little is wise. 
 
 24. If a nuniinative come between the relative and verb, the rela- 
 tive is governed by some word in its own member of the senierjce* 
 liS, (iod, whom we worship, by whoie gift we live, and by whom all 
 ihinus are made, is eternal. 
 
 25. Wlien the relative is preceded by two nominative cases of dif- 
 ferent perr»i«is, the relative must agree with the latter; / am the 
 pcifiou vh:> writes to you. 
 
 2'). As is often used as a relative; " they are such comforts as we 
 ran obtain ; the conditions are as follow." (In the first example, ni 
 is tl) ; objective after obtain ; in the secend, as is the plutal nominative 
 to follow.) 
 
 27, In grave writing, the relative should not be omitted; as, the 
 Rdd v^hnni we worship ; not the God we worship. 
 
 2S. The pronoun lliat is used in preference to who or which. \. 
 Afier an '.idjeciive in the superlative degree, as, " it was the best that 
 \ ciiiild procure." 2. After the word same, as, " the same that I saw 
 ^♦•^'♦'iiliiv." 3. After who used in a question, as, *' who that has any 
 senst" (•!' dtiiy would act thus?" 4 When persons make but part o\ 
 the untei'ctlenl, as, " the men and things that he has been.*'

 r{l. Nouns are of the third person when spoken o/, nnd ihe «ecoAi|

 'i2. TIk- intinitive mood, or a part of a sentence, is often put as the! 
 ooiniiiaiivc \u I lie verb; as, to walk is pleasant, to view the charms oj\ 
 nii/iirr is |)lt'iisi(iil. | 
 
 M3. When I wo or more nominatives in the sinj;,rular number are'

 in jiersoii, the secoiul lakes place of ihe third, and the first of both;] 
 as, "James, and thou, and I, are attacheti to our country." " Thou 
 and he shared it between you.' 
 
 '.i'). When I wo or more nominative cases singular are connected by 
 the C(;njuiKnions <»?•, ni>r, either, neiiher, the nouns, pronouns, and verbs, | 
 which refer to the n<jminatives, must be in the sinj:fular number; as, 
 •fear or jeahmsy prevails-; neither power nor wealth avails." 
 
 3(3. When sinirular nominatives of difl'erent person or numbers are 
 joined by or, either, nor, neither, the verb must airree in number with 
 thai nomiiiaiive which is placed nearest to it; ^^ he ox \\\9 brothers were 
 there; neithur you nor 1 am concerned " 
 
 37. The iiiHoiiive mocjd is known by the sign to, and may depend 
 upon verbs, jiarii'^'nles, adjectives, or substantives: as, "/ desire to 
 learn, desinui^to learn, desirous to /earn, a desire to learn." 
 
 38. The siijn to is omitted after hid, dare, need, make, see, hear, feel^ 
 let, and a few others ; as, " I bade him do it ; ve dare not do it ; 1 saxo 
 him do it; I heard him say ii; thou lettcst him ffo." 
 
 3!». The iiitiuiiive mood is often used independently of the rest ol 
 the senieiK-e; as, " lo confess the truth, / was in fault." 
 
 40. Transitive verbs govern the objective case; as, "I love him^

 48. The perfect participle must not be used instead of the miperfect 
 •.ense ; '* he beifutj, li)r " he bej^an ;" " he run," for " he ran ;" ** he

 4!». The perfect participle, aru. not the iii»perf('<".t tense of the verb,

 Dy a preposition, or some oiiur word understood; he rcuded (during 
 or for) many t/tnrx. 
 
 61. Intransitive verbs must not be used transitively' as. ! repent 
 me, for I reptnl; transitive verbs must not be ust-d intransitively; ab, 
 ** I will premise with this, /'or I will premise iliis." 
 
 [Vi. Verbs intransiiive admit an (jbje(!tive cast' of ihe sa'.ieor si-nj. 
 jar siunifi('aii(jn ; as, "lo run a race, to dream a dream." 
 
 oil. The verb to he is followed l)y the same case that preceded it; 
 as, "Ac is a /<•«»/ ; f took hi>n to be a sch>/iir.*' 
 
 51. Adverbs must not be used as adjectives: as. "the tuioi ^d-

 ;57. The preposition should not he separated iVcn iie relative which 
 't iroverns ; as, ";/7»>/a« will thou give it /w .*'" instead of, " lo »,7»o//i 
 wilt thou give it ?" 
 
 o8. It is inelegant to separate the preposition from its noun, in ordei 
 lo connect dillerent prepositions with the same noun ; as, " he look it 
 ,'ro/n, and then returned it to me." 
 
 59. Prepositions are often understood; as, " vjive (/»>) me the book, 
 pet {for) me some jiaper; he was banished {fnnn) ^"'nirlan*!; a wall 
 ((//■)iwo feet thick; 1 envied him (/<>r) his feeling' "le asked ^<i/') 
 me my opinion." 
 
 ()0. Conjunctions join the same tenses, numbers, and persons o* 
 •rerbs, and the same cases of noutis and proiKHins : as, " a dlliirent bov 
 'Ct// study and Icnrn; he and 1 were srliooj-fellov/.s." 
 
 <ii. When the conjunction implies somei'iiiiir (>ni)iinL''eni ordoubtful. 
 it is followed by the sul^jullctive mood: as, "he vvill not be pardi-'ned 
 'tn/ess he repent." 
 
 62. The interjections ! Oh! Ah I recpiire the objective case of a

 Awake, my soul, and with the sua 
 Thy daily stage of doty run : 
 Shake oil duUsloth, and early rise, 
 To pay thy morning sacritice. 
 
 Redeem the mis-spent moments past, 
 And live this day as if the last; 
 Thy talents to improve take care; 
 For the great day thyself prepare. 
 
 Let all thy converse be sincere, 
 
 Thy conscience as the noon-day clear; 
 
 For God's all-seeing eye surveys 
 
 Thy secret thoughts, thy words and ways. 
 
 Wake, and lift up thyself, my heart, 
 And with the angels take thy part ; 
 Who all night lone unwearied sing 
 High glory to th eternal King. 
 
 Praise God, from whom all blessings iiow. 
 Praise him, all creatures here below; 
 Praise him above, ye heavenly host; 
 Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

 Glory to thee, my God, this night 
 For all the blessings of ihf light : 
 Keep me, keep ue, King of kings, 
 Beneath thine own Almighty wings ! 
 
 Forgive me. Lord, for thy dear Son, 
 The ill that I this day have done ; 
 That, with the world, myself, and thee 
 I, ere I sleep, at peace may be. 
 
 Teach me to live, that 1 may dread 
 The grave as little as my bed ; 
 Teach ' ne to die, that so I may 
 disc gl rious at the awful day.

 Bless these provinces, and give us grace at length to bring forth 
 fruits meet for repentance. Lord, save the Queen, and establish

 them that do well. And all we ask is through the merits of Jesus 
 Christ our Lord. Our Father, &c.

 Ckmral directions in order to the leading a Christian life. 
 
 Begin every day with God, and go not out of your chamber before 
 fou have performed vour bou;iden duty of prayer and praise. 
 
 Walk all the day long in the fear of God. Wlierever you are, or 
 whatever you are doing, remember that the eye of God is upon you. 
 
 Shun idleness, in whatever station of life you are, and know, that it 
 s the part of a wise man to have always something to do. 
 
 Avoid the common but odious vices of slander and talebearing 
 -»tiive to live in peace with all men, and to cultivate a meek, courteous, 
 and benevolent disposition. 
 
 Speak the truth on all occasions without dissimulation ; be sincere 
 and upright in all your conversation ; for he only is a Christian indeed, 
 in whom there is no guile. 
 
 In all your concerns with others, be they little or much, let this be 
 ihe constant rule and measure of your actions, namely, to do unto others 
 as you would they should do unto you. 
 
 In every time of trouble think upon God and his gracious promise, 
 that all things shall work together for good, to them that love and serve 
 him. 
 
 If you are a householder, call your family together, at least every 
 ftvening, to join in supplications to Him, in whom they live and move^ 
 and have their heiji^j;. 
 
 If you are a ;hild or servant, endeavour to be always within at tlie 
 time of prayer. 
 
 Never lay yourself down to rest before you have prayed in private, 
 and recommended yourself to the Divine protection. 
 
 Always say grace before and after meals. Whether you eat or 
 drink^ or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. ^ 
 
 Directions for the Lord's Day. 
 
 Be sure to spend the ford's Day well — take care to avoid the sinful 
 j)raclice of fsliing or lavvling, or otherwise transgressing the divine 
 rx)mmand, to " Rc?fiember the Sabbath day to keep it holy.''* 
 
 Make your children and servants go with you to your place of wor- 
 ship ; and take care not to come late to church ; he always there, if 
 possible, before divine service begins.— Be sure not to loiter about the 
 church door. 
 
 Avuid the too frequent custom of sitting at the time of prayer — 
 this evinces the greatest want of consideration — alvays kneel orsiand. 
 l)u not give Avay to sleep or wander'iig thoughts. 
 
 AOer divine service, spend the remainder of the day in reading re» 
 .igious books, and recollecting what you have heard at church.
