Notwithstanding the vast number of initiatory books for
children in the nursery, which have been written within th%
last few years by persons of distinguished abilities, and sano-
tioned with their names, it must be still allowed that there hail
not appeared one Introduction to Reading, for the general uso
of fSchools, that rises above the vulgar, though popular, com-
pilations of Dyche, Dilworth, and Fenning. The superstruc-
ture has l)een attended to with sedulous care, and writers of
the first eminence have contributed to rear the fabric of learn-
ing, while the foundation has almost invariably been suffered,
to be laid by the most tasteless and ignorant workman. The
consequence has frequently been, as might be expected from '
such a circuuistance, that the taste has been vitiated at the
very commencement ; and it has often proved more difficult to
remove error, than it would have been to plant originally the
principles of truth.
For the neglect here alluded to, it wotild be impostible to;>
produce any consistent reason. Perhaps the pride of acknowl-
edged literature could not stoop to an occupation reputed so^:
mean, as that of compiling a Spelling Book. Yet to lay the
first stone of a noble edifice has ever been a task- delegated to
the most honourable hands ; and to sow the seeds of useful
learning^in the nascent mind, is an employment that cannot
be disgraceful to the most industrious talents.
The Editor of the following sheets is fully convinced of the
solidity of his inferences and the justice of his remarks, in what-
ever light his present undertaking may be regarded. Humble
or degrading as it may appear to those who perhaps have no •
higher pretensions than himself, he cannot think that labor
dishonorable which is so manifestly beneficial to the rismg.
generation ; nor \}ti& he any reason to fear but the caridid and
judicious will adequately appreciate his motives and !his piO*'
duction ; lor he feels convinced that the child who may be
unable to acquire any other literary knowledge than what can
be learned even in ihis elementary and familiar book, need .
never have reason to blush from ignorance, or to err from want
of a solid foundation of moral and religious principles. O
Woodstock, Feb. 12, 1806.

1 knew a nice girl, but she was not good, she was
cross, and told fibs. One day she went out to take
a walk in the fields, and tore her frock in a bush;
and when she came home she said she had not done
it, but that the dog had done it with his paw. Was
that good? No. Her aunt gave her a cake; and she
though "• if John saw it, he would want to have a bit;
and si. 4 did not choose he should: so she put it in
a box and hid it, that he might not see it. The next
day she went to eat some of her cake, but it was gone ;
there was a hole in the box, and a mouse had crept
in, and eat it all. Oh dear, how she did cry I The
nurse thought she was hurt; but when she told her
what the mouse had done, she said she was glad of
it ; and that it was a bad thing to wish to eat it all,
and not give a bit to John. , , . , ;
LESSON II.
Miss Jane 'Bond haci a new doll ; and her good
Aunt, who bought it, gave her some cloth to make
a shift for it. She gave her a coat too, and a paii
of stays, and a yard of twist with a tag to it, for a
lace; a pair of rsd shoes, and a piece of blue silk
to make Doll a slip, some gauze for a frock, and
a broad white sash. Now these were fine things, you
know : but Miss Jane had no thread, so she could not
make Doll's clothes when she had cut them out ; but
er kind Aunt gave her some thread too, and then

she went hard to work, and made Doll quite smart in|
a short time.
LESSON III.
^ Miss Eose was a good child, she did at all times
what she was bid. She got all her tasks by heart,]
and did her work quite well. One day she ha
learnt a long task in her book, and done some nice
work; so her Aunt said. You are a good girl, mj
dear, and I will take you with me to see Miss Cox.|
So Miss Rose went with her Aunt, and Miss Co
was quite glad to see her, and took her to her plaj
room, where they saw a Doll's house with rooms in
it ; there wer« eight rooms ; and there were in thesi
rooms chairs, and stools, and beds, and plates, ani
cups, and spoons, and knives, and forks, and mugs, an(
a screen, and I do not know what. So Miss Rose wa
glad she had done her work, and said her task so well
for if she had not, she would have staid at home, am
lost the sight of the Doll's house.

Frank Pitt went out to walk in the fields ; he

to eat, and he did not know how to feed them ;
so the poor things were soon dead ; and tlien he
went to see if he could get any more, but he found
the poor old bird close by the nest ; — her young
ones were gone, and she was sad, and did cry ;
Frank was sad too, but he could not bring them
back ; they were all dead and gone. Poor Frank !
I know he did not mean to let them die ; but why
did he take them from their nest, from the old
bird, who would have ied them, and could take care
of them? How would he like to be stole from his
home ?

it was full of great stones, and he could not draw it.
Poor dog I he would have done it to please them if
lie could ; but he could not move it ; and when they
saw that he did not, they got a great stick to beat
him with, but I would not let them do that. So I
took the stick from them, and drove them off; and
when tbey were gone, I let the dog loose, and hid
the cart in the hedge, where I hope they will not
find it.
It is a sad thing when boys beat poor dumb things ;

them ; but he was good, and ought not to have been

I once saw a young girl tie a string to a bird's leg,
and pull it through the yard. But it eould not go so
fast as she did ; she ran, and it went hop, hop, to try to
keep up with her, but it broke its poor leg, and there
it lay on the hard stones, and its head was hurt : and
the poor bird was soon dead. So I told her maid not
to let her have birds, if she was to use them so ill ; and
she has not had one since that time. ' * ■ «- ^ ■ ^^''^

LESSON in.
There was a lit-tle boy ; he was not a big boy, for if
he had been a big boy, I sup-pose he would have been
wi-ser; but this was a lit-th^- boy, not higher than
the ta-ble, and his pa-pa and mam-ma sent him to
school. It was a Yery j^lea-sant morn-ing; the sun
shone, and the birds sung on the trees. Now thiF
lit-tle boy did notlove his book much, fer he was bu^
a sil-ly lit-tle boy, as I said be-fore, and he had a great
mind to play iii-stead of go-ing to school. And he saw
a bee fly-ing about, fii'st upon one flow-er, and then
up-on an-o-ther ; so he said, Pret-ty bee ! will you
come and play with me ? But the bee said, No, I
must not be i-dle, I must go and ga-thor ho-ney. Then
the lit-tle boy met a dog, and he said, Dog 1 will you
play with me? But the dog said, No, 1 must not

the lit-tle boy went to a hay-rick, jind he said, Bii'dl
will you come and phiy with me? But tiio bird
said. No, I must not be i-dle, I must get some hay
to build my nest with, and some moss, and some
wool. So the bird ilew a-vvay. Then the lit-tle
boy saw a horse, and he said, llorse ! will you play
with me? But the horse said, jNo; I must not be
i-dle ; I must go and plough, or else there will be
no corn to make bread of. Then the lit-tle boy
thought to hini-self, What, is no-bo-dy i-dle? then
lit-tle boys must not be i-dle nei-ther. So he made
haste, and went to school, and learn-ed his les-son
ve-ry well, and the mas-ter said he was a ve-ry good
boy.

go-ing to tell you some.
I will tell you a sto-ry about a lamb. — Tliere was
once a shep-herd, who had a great ma-ny shec}) and
lambs. He took a great deal of care of them ; and
gave them sweet fresh grass to eat, and clear wa-ter
to drink, and if they were sick he was very good to
them; and when they climb-ed up a steep hill, and
the lambs were tir-ed, he us-ed to car-ry them in his
arms; and when they were all eat-in g their sup-pers
in the field, he u-sed to sit up-on a stile, and play
them a tune, and sing to them; so they were hap-py
sheep and lambs. But ai-ways at night this shep-herd
u-sed to pen them up in a Ibid. Now they were all

very hap-py as I told you, and lov-ed the shep-hcrd
dear-ly, that was so good to tliern — all cx-cept one
fool-ish lit-tle lamb. And this lamb did not like to
be shut up al-vvays at night in the fold ; so she came
to her mo-ther, v '>o was a wise old sheep, and said
to her, I won-der why we are shut up so all night I
the dogs are not shut up, and why should we be
shut up? I think it is ve-ry hard, and I will get
a-way, if I can, that I will, lor 1 like to run a-bout
where I please, and I think it is ve-ry plea-sant iu
tlie woods by moon-light. Then the old sheep said
to her. You are ve-ry sil-ly, you lit-tle lamb, you had
bet-ter stay iu the fold. The shep-herd is so good
to us, that we should al-ways do as he bids us ; and
if you wau-der a-bont by your-self, I dare say you
will come to some harm. I dare say not, said the
lit-tle lamb.
And so when the night came, and the shep-herd
call-ed them all to come in-to the fold, she would
not come, but hid her-self ; and when the rest of the
lambs were all in the fold, and fast a-sleep, she came
out, and jump-ed, and fiisk-ed, and dan-ced a-bout;
and she got out of the Held, and got in-to a fo-rest
full of trees, and a ve-ry fierce wolf came rush-ing
out of a cave, and howl-ed ve-ry loud. Then the
sil-ly lamb wish-ed she had been shut up in the fold;
but the fold was a great way off: and the wolf saw
her, and seiz-cd her, and car-ricd her a-way to a
dis-mal d^rk den, spread all o-ver with bones and
blood ; and ihere the wolf had two cubs, and the wolf
said to them. Here I have brought you a young fat
lamb: and so the cubs took her, and growl-ed o-ver
her a lit-tle while, and then tore her to pie-ces and ato
her up.

LESSON V.
There was once a lit-tlc boy, who was a sad cow-
ard. He was a-fiaid of al-most a-ny thing. .lie was
a-fraid of the two lit-tle kidy, Nun-ny and BiMy, when
they came and put their no-ses through the pales of
tlie court ; and he would not pull Bil-ly by the beard.
What a sil-ly boy he was I Pray, what was his name?
N ty, in -deed, I shall not tell you his name, for you
would make game of him. Well, he was ve-ry much
a-fraid of dogs too : he al-ways cri-ed if a dog
bark-ed, and ran a-way, and took hold of his mam-
ma's a-pron like a ba-by. What a fool-ish fel-low he
was 1
Well ; this sim,-ple boy was walk-ing by him-seh"
one day, and a pret-ty black dog came out of a
house, and said, Bow, wow, bow, wow ; and came to
the lit-tle bo}'', and jumj)-ed up-on him, and want-ed
to play with him ; but the lit-tle boy ran a-way. The
dog ran af-ter him, and cri-ed loud-er, Bow, wow,
wow; but he on-ly meant to say, Good morn-ing, how
do you do? but this lit-tle boy was sad-ly a-fraid, and
ran a-way as fast as e-ver he could, with-out look-ing
be-fore him, and he tum-bled in-to a ve-ry dir-ty ditch,
and there he lay cry-ing at the bot-tom of the ditch,
for he could not get out; and I be-lieve he would
have lain there all day, but the dog was so good, that
he went to the house where the lit-tle boy liv-ed on
pur-pose to tell them where he was. So, when he came
to the house he scratch-ed at the door, and said. Bow,
wow ; for he could not speak a-ny plain-er. So they
came to the door.
AVhat do you want, you black dog? We do not
know 3'ou. Then the dog went to Ralph the ser-vant,
and pull-cd him by the coat, and puU-ed him till he
brought him to the ditch ; and the dog and Ralph be-
tween them got the lit-tle boy out of the ditch: but he

One day, in the month of June, Thomas had got all
Lis things ready to set out on a little jaunt of pleasure
with a few of his friend.>4, but the sky became thick with
ck)uds, and on that account he was forced to wait some
time in suspense. Being at last stopped by a heavy
shower of ridn, he was. so vexed that he could not re-
frain from tears, and sitting down in a sulky humour,
would not suffer any one to comfort him.
Towards night the clouds began to vanish ; the sun
shone with great brightness, and the whole face of na-
ture seemed to be changed. Robert then took Thomas
with him into the fields; and the freshness of the air,
the music of the birds, and the greenness of the grass,
filled him with pleasure. " Do you see," said Robert,
"what a change has taken place? Last night tht>
ground was parched; the flowers, and all the things,
seemed to droop. To what cause must we impute this
hajTpy change? Struck with the folly of his own con-
duct in the morning, Thomas was forced to admit, that
the useful rain which fell that morning had done all
this good. ..

LESSON I.

Gold is of a deep yellow colour. It is very pretty
and bright. It is a great deal hea-vi-er than any thing
else. Men dig it out of the ground. Shall I take my
spade and get some? No, tliere is none in this country
It comes from a great way off; and lies deeper a great
deal than you oould dig with your spade. Guineas ar€?i
made of gold ; and so are half-guineas, and watches
sometimes. The looking-glass frame, and the picture
framos, are gilt with gpld. What is leaf gold? It ia
gold beaten very thin ; thinner than l§|ftves of paper.
LESSON II.

Silver is white and shining. Spoons are made of
silver, and waiters, and crowns, and balf-crowns, and

six-pen-ces. Silver comes fj'om a great way off; from
Peru.
Copper is red. The kettles awl pots are made of
copper ; and brass is made of copper. Brass is briglit
and yellow, almost like gold. The saucepans are made
of brass ; and the locks upon +Jie door, and the can-die-
sticks. What is that green uj)on the saucepan ? It is
rusty ; the green is called ver-di-gris ; it would kill you
if you were to eat ^t.
LESSON III.
Iron is very hard. It is not pretty ; but I do not
know what we should do without it, for it makes us a
great many things. The tongs, and the poker, and
shovel, are made of iron. Go and ask Dobbin if he can
plough without the plough-share. We\], what does he
say? He says, No, he cannot. But the plough-share
is made of iron. Will iron melt in the fire ? Put the
poker in and try. Well, is it melted ? No, but it is
red hot, and soft; it will bend. But I will tell you,
Charles; iron will melt in a very, very hot fire, when
it has been in a great while ; then it will melt. Come,
let us go to the smith's shop. What is he doing-? He
has a forge ; he blows the fire with a great pair of bel-
lows, to make the iron hot. Now' it is hot. Now he
. takqs it out with the tongs, and puts it upon the anvil.
'•Now he beats it wi.h a hammer. Hov\^ hard he works I
The sparks fly about: pretty I right sparks! What is
the blacksmith making ? He is making nails, and horse-
shoes, and a great many things.

Lead is soft, and very heavy. Here is a piece ; lift it.
There is lead in the casement ; and the spout is lead,
and the cistern is lead, and bullets are made of lead.
Will lead melt in the (ire ? Try ; throw a piece in.
Now it is all melted, and runs down among the ashes
below the grate. What a pretty bright colour it is of
now!
Tin is white and soft. It is bright too. The drip-
I)in.g-pan and ihe re-fleet-or, are all co-ver-ed with tin.
Quick-sil-ver is very bright, like silver ; and it is very
heavy. See how it runs about I You cannot catch it.
You cannot pick it up. There is quick-sil-ver in the
wea-ther-glass.
Gold, silver, copper, iron, lead, tin, quick-sil-ver ;. one,
two, three, four, live, six, seven, metals. They are all
dug out of the ground.
LESSON V.
There was a little boy, whose name was Harry ; and
his papa and mamma sent him to school. Now Harry
v/as a clever fellow, and loved his book ; and he got to
be first in his class. So his mamma got up one morn-
ing very early, and called Betty the maid, and said,
Betty, I think we must make a cake for Harry, for he
has learned his book very well. And Betty said. Yes,
with all my heart. So they made a nice cake. It was
very, large, and stuffed full of plums and swe^Lmeats,
orange and citron ; and it was iced all over wit5 sugar;
it was white and smooth on the top like snow. *'jp9>*tliis
cake was sent to the scliool. When little Harry saw it,
he was very glad, and jumped about for joy; and he
hardly staid for a knife to cut a piece, but gna'vired it
with his teeth. So he ate till the bell rang for iwjhool,
and after school he ate again, and ate till he Wfint to
bed ; nay, he laid his cak6 under his pillow, and sat up
in the night to eat some. .rf..'<*rr ■ ."f
He ate till it was all gone. But soon after, tnis little

boy was very sick, and e-vc-ry body said, T wonder
what is the matter with f Tarry : he used to be brisk,
and phxy about more nimbly than any of the boys; and
now he looks pale, and is very ill. So they sent for
Dov^.or Rhubarb, and he gave him T do not know how-
much bitter physic. Poor Ilarry did not like it at all,
but he was forced lo take it, or else he would have died,
you know. So at last he got^ well again, but his
mamma said she would send him no more cakes.
. LESSON VI.
Now there was an-o-ther boy, who was one of Harry's
school-fel-lows ; his name was Peter; the bo3's used to
call him Peter Careful. And Peter had written his
mamma a very clean pretty letter ; there was not one
blot in it at all. So his mamma sent bim a cake. Now
Peter thougLt with himself, I will not make mys'^^'lf sick
with this good cake, as sill}'' Harry did ; I will keep it
a great while. So he took the cake, and tugged it up
stairs. It was very heavy ; he could hardly carry it.
And he locked it up in his box, and once a day he crept
slily up stairs, and ate a very little piece, and then
locked his box again. So he kept it sev-e-ral weeks
and it was not gone, for it was very large ; but, behold 1
' the mice got into the box and nibbled some. And the
.cake grew dry and mouldy, 4ind at last was good for
nothing at all. So he was o-bli-ged. to throw it away,
and it grieved him to the very heart-.

And the '

lyiamma sent him a cake, becaiise she loA'ed hiLi dearly,
and he loved her dearly. So when the cake came,
KiclijArd said to his school-fel-lows, I have got a cake,
come let us go and eat it. So they came about him
like a parcel of bees; and liichard took a slice of cake
hirnseh', and then gave a piece to one, and a piece to
ari-o-ther, and a piece to another, till i* was almost gone.
Then Richard put the rest by, and said, I will eat it to*
morrow.
He then went to play, and the boys all played io
gather mer-ri-ly. But soon after an old blind Fiddh^r
came into the court: he liad a Ion ^^ white beard; and
because he was blind, he had a little dog in a string to
lead him. So he came into the court, and sat dowt
upon a stone, and said. My pretty lads, if you will, ]
will play you a tune. Ai'd they all left their sport,
and came and stood round him. And Richard saw that
while he played the tears ran down his cheeks. And
Richard said, Old man, why do you cry ? And the
old man said. Because I am very hungry : I have no-
bo-dy to give me any dinner or supper: I have nothing
in the world but tiiis little dog; and I cannot work.
If I could work I would. Then Richard went, v^^ithout
saying a word, and fetched the rest of his cake, which
he had in-tend-ed to have eaten an-o-ther day, and he
said, Here, old man , here is some cake for you. The
old man said, Where is it? for I am blind, I cannot
see it. So Richard put it into his hat. And the Fid-
dler thanked him, and Richard was more glad than if
he had eaten ten cakes.
Pray, which do you love best? Do you love Harry
best, or Peter best, or Richard best ?

The noblest employment for the mind of man is to

science of nature delighteth, every object bringeth a
proof of his God. His mind is lifted up to heaven
every moment, and his life shows what idea he enter-
tains of eternal wisdom. If he cast his eye towards the
clouds, will he not find the heavens full of its wond'ers ?
If he look down on the earth, doth not the worm pro-
claim to him, " Less than infinite power could not havo
formed me ?.'*
While the planets pursue their courses; while the
sun remaineth in his place ; while the moon wandereth
through space, and returneth to his destined spot
again ; who but God could have formed them ? Be-
hold how awful their splendour I yet they do not
diminish ; lo, how rapid their motion I yet one runneth
not in the way of another. Look down upon the earth,
and see its produce; examine its bowels, and behold
what they contain : have not wisdom and power
ordained the whole ? Who biddeth the grass to spring
up ? Who watereth it at its due seasons ? Behold the
ox croppeth it ; the horse and the sheep, do they not
feed upon it ? Who is he that provideth for them, but
the Lord ?

THE HORSE.

,a
LESSON L
The horse is a noble creature, and very useful to
man. A horse knows his own sta'ole : he dis-tin-guish-
es his com-pa-ni-ons, remembers any place at which he
has once stopped, and will find his way by a road which
he has travelled. The rider governs his horsc3 o v ;:igua ;
which he makes with the bit, his foot, his khee, or the
whip. The horse is less useful when dead than some
other animals are. The skin is used for collars, -trjices,
and other parts of harness. The hair of the tail is used
for b. .uns of chains and fioor-cloths. What a pity it
is 'uiu^ . v;rii.3l men should ever ill-use, over- work, and tor-
ture this utieful beast!

The hog appears to have a divided hoof, like the
peaceable animals which we call cattle; but he really
has tlie bones of his feet like those of a beast of prey,
and a wild hog is a very savage animal. Swine have
alwavs been esteemed very un-tract-a-ble, stupid, and

tilthy, greedy, stubborn, dis-a-gree-able, whilst alive, but
very useful after his death. Hogs are vo-ra-ci«ous ; yet
where they find plentiful and de-li-ci-ous food, they are/
very nice in their choice, will refuse unsound fruit, and''
wait the fall of fresh ; but hunger will force them to eat
rotten and putrid substances. A hog has a strong neck, /

" " * ' ' LESSON IV.
Deer shed their horns an-nu-al-ly in the spring : if
the old ones do not fall off, the animal rubs them
gently against the branch of a tree. The new horns
are tender ; and the deer walk with their heads low,
lest they should hit them against the branches; when
they are full grown and hard, the doer rub them against
the trees, to clear them of a skin with which they are
covered. The skins of deer are of use for leather, and
the horns make good handles for. common knives.
SpiritJi^f hartshorn is extracted, and hartshorn shavings
are made, from them. ^

LKSSON V.
The cat has sliarp eluws, which she draws b;ick when
you caress her : then lier Coot is as soft as velvet. Cats
have loss sense tlinii do^^s ; their attachment is chiefly to
the house ; but the dog's is to the persons who inhabit it.
Kittens have their e3'cs closed several days after their
birth. The cat, after sucking her young some time,
brings them mice aiul young birds. Cats hunt 'n'
tlie eye; they lie in wait, and spi-ing n})on their pr«.^.;
which they catch by suri)rise; then sport with it, and
torment the poor animal, till they kill it. Cats see best
in the gloom. In a strong light the pupil of the cat's
oye is contracted almost to a line; by night it spreads
|iiito a large circle. Cats live in the house, but are not
very o-be-di-ent to the ownen: tliey are self-willed and
wayward. Cats iove perfumes ; they are fond of va-le-
li-an and marjoram. They dislike water, cold, and bad
smells ; they love to bask in the sun, and to lie on soft
beds.

THE SHEEP.
LESSON vr.
Slieep supply us with food : their f\cAi is called mi.u-
ton. They supply us with clothes, lor tlieir wool is
made into cloth, flannel, and stockings. Their skin ia
IcHither, which forms parchment, and is used to cover
books. Their entrails are made into strings for liddles;
and their dung affords rich manure for the earth. The
female is called an ewe. A sheep is a timid animal,
and runs from a dog; yet an ewe will face a dog when
her lamb is by her side ; she thinks not then of her own
danger, but will stamp with her foot, and push with her
head, seeming to have no fear; such is the love of
mothers!
Sheep derive their safety from the care of man, and
they well repay him for his "at-ten-ti-on. Tn many coun-
tries they require the attendance of tlicir shepherds, and
are penned up at night to protect them from the wolves ;
but in our happy land they graze in se-cu-ri-ty.

LESSON VII.
A Goat is soniewlint like a sheep; but has hair in
stead of wool. Tlie wliite hair is va-lu-a-ble for wisrs :
cloth may also be made of the goat's hair. The skin
of the goat is more useful than that of the sheep.
Goats seem to have more sense than sheep. They
like to rove upon hiiis, are fond of browsing upon
vines, and delight in the bark of trees. Among moun-
tains tliey climb tlic steepest rock's, and spring from
brow to brow. Tlieir young is called a kid: the flesh
of kids is esteemed; gloves nre made of their skins;
persons of weak con-sti-tu-ti-ons drink the milk of
gonts.
Goats are very jilayful ; but they sometimes butt
against little boys, and knock them down, when they
are teazed and pulled by the beard or horns.

THE DOa.

LESSON VIII.
The dog is gifted with that sagacity, vigilance, and
fi-de-U-ty, which qualify him to be the guard, the com-
pa-ni-on, and the friend of man; and linppy is he who
finds a friend as true and faithful as tliis animal, who
will rather die by the side of his master, than take a
bribe of a stranger to betray him. JS'o other animal is
so much the com-pa-ni-on of man as the dog. The dog
understands his mast(ir b}^ the tone of liis voice; nay,
even by his looks he is ready to obey him. Dogs arc
very ser-vice-a-blc to man. A doy; will conduct a floclc
of sheep; and will use no roughness but to those which
straggle, and then merely to bring them back. ^J'lie dog
is said to be the onl}^ animal who always knows his
master, and the friends of his family : who dis-tin-iiruish-
es a rtranger as soon as he arriv(.\s; who understands
his own name, and the voice of the domestics ; and who.

when he Lus lost his master, calls for him by cries and
la-men-ta-ti-ons. A do,^' is tlie most sa-ga-ci-ous animal
we have, and the most capable of ed-u-ca-ti-on. In most
dogs, the sense of smelling is keen ; a dog will hunt his
game by the scent ; and in following his master, he will
stop where the roads cross, try which way the scent la
strongest, and then pursue tliat.

LESSON IX.
The ass is humble, patient, and quiet. Why should
a creature so patient, so innocent, and so useful, be
treated with contempt and cruelty? The ass is strong,
hardy, and temperate, and less delicate than the horse:
but he is not so sprightly and swift as that noble and
generous animal. lie is often rendered stupid and dull
by unkind treatment, and blamed f(^r what rather de-
serves our pity.

Like otlier animals, llie lion is aliected by the influeiic

LESSON XT.
The elephant is not ordy the largest but the strongest
of all quadrupeds; in a i-tate of nature it is neither
fierce nor mischievous. Pacific, mild, and brave, it
only exerts its power in its own defence, or in that of
the coni-mu-ni-ty to which it belongs. It is social and
friend]}'- with its kinvl; the oldest of the troop always
appears as the leader, and the next in se-ni-ord-ty brings
up the reai\ . As they march, the f(>i'est seems to trem-
ble beneath them ; in thnr passage tliey bear down the
branches of trees on which they feed; and if they entei
cnl-ti-va-ted fields, the labours of a-gri-cul-ture soon dis-
appear. In Africa ele])hants perhaps are the most
numerous, but in Asia they are the largest and most
usetVd to man.
When the elephant is once tamed, it is the most gentle
and od)e-di-ent of'all animals. Its attachment to ito
keeper is re-mark-nd)le, ami it seems to live but to serve
anrl obey him. It is ni;i;'kly taught to knci'l in order
to receive its rider; and it caresses those with whom it
is acquainted.

THE BEAR.
LESSON xn.
There are several kinds of boars; such as the black
bear, the brown bear, and tlie wliitc bear.
The black bear is a strong povvt rful animal, covered
with black glossy hair, and is vciy common in North
Ampiica. It is said to subsist vvdioliv on ve-;>;e-ta-ble
food; but some of them, which have been brought into
England, have shown a preference for flesh. They
strike with their fore-feet like a cat, seldom use their
tusks, but hu*g their assailaats so closely, that they
almost squeeze them to death, After becoming pretty
fat in autumn, these animals retire to their dens, and
continue six or seven weeks in total in-ac-ti-vi-ty and
abstinence from food.
The white or Greenland bear, has a pe-cu-li-ar-ly
long head and neck, and its limbs are of a pro-di-gi-ou3
size and strength : its body frequently measures thirteen
feet in length. The white bear li\es on fish, seals, and
ths dead bodies of whales.

A Fox, parched with thirst, perceived some grapes
hanging from a lofty vine. As they looked ripe and
tempting, Eeynard was very desirous t/- refresh himself
with their delicious juice; but after trjijig again and
again to reach them, and leaping till he was tired, he
found it im-prac-ti-ca-ble to jump so high, and in conse-
quence gave up the attempt. Pshaw! said he, eyeing
them as he retired, with affected indifference, I might
easily have accomplished tliis business if I had been so
disposed; but I cannot help thinking that the grapes
are sour, and therefore not worth the trouble of plucking.

A Shepherd-Boy, for want of better employment, usee*
to amuse himself by raising a false alarm, and crying
" The wolf! the wolf!" and when liis neighbours, believ
ing he was in earnest, ran to his assistance, instead ot
thanking tliem for their kindness, he laughed at them.
This trick he repeated a great number of times ; but at
length a Wolf came in realitj'-, and began tearing and
mangling his Sheep. The Boy now cried and bellowed
with all his might for help ; bat the neighbours, taught
by experience, and supposing him still in jest, paid no
regard to him. Thus the Wolf had time and op-por-
tu-ni-ty to worry the whole flock.
To sacred truth devote your heart,
Nor e'efi in jest a lie repeat;

Will infamy and ruin meet.

A Wolf and a Lamb, by chance, came to the same stream
to quench their thhst. The water flowed from the former
towards the latter, who stood at an humble distance ; but no
Booner did the Wolf perceive the Lamb, than, seeking a pre-
text for his destruction, he ran down to him and accused him
of disturbing the water which he was drinking. How can I
disturb it ? said the Lamb, in a great fright : the stream flows
from you to me ; and I assure you that I did not mean to give
you any offence. That may be, replied the Wolf; but it was
only yesterday that I saw your Sire encouraging the Hounds
that wefe pursuing me. Pardon me I answered, the Lamb,
my poor Sire fell a victim to the butcher's knife upwards of a
month since. It was your Dam then, replied the savage
beast. My Dam, said the innocent, died on the day I was
born. Dead or not, vo-ci-fe-ra-ted the Wolf, as he gnashed
his teeth in rage : I know very well that all the breed of you
bate me, and therefore I am determined to have my revenge.
So saying, he sprung upon the defenceless Lamb, and worried

l!n>U8TRT AND INDOLENCE CONTKASTED.
A MORiL TALI.
In a village, at a small distance from the metropolis, lived
a wealthy husbandman, who had two sons, William and
Taomas ; the former of whom was exactly a year older than
tlie other.
On the day when his second son was born, the husbandman
filanted in his orchard two young apple-trees of an equal size,
on which he bestowed the same care in cultivating ; and they
throve so much alike, that it was a difficult matter to say which
claimed the preference.
As soon as the children were capable of using garden im-
plements, their father took them, on a fine day, early in' the
spring, to see the two plants he had reared for them, and called
after their names. William and Thomas having much admired
the beauty of these trees, now filled with blossoms, their father
told them, that he made them a present of the trees in good
condition, which would continue to thrive or decay in proportion
to the labour or neglect they received.
Thomas, though the youngest son, tunied all his attention
to the improvement of his tree, by clearing it of insects as
soon as he discovered them, and propping up the stem that it
might grow perfectly upright. He dug about it, to loosen
the earth, that the root m^ght receive nourishment from the
warmth of the sun, and the moisture of the dews. No mother
could nurse her child more tenderly in its infancy than Thomas
did his tree. ;
His brother WiUiam, hovrover, pursued a very different
conduct : for he loitered away his time in the most idle and
mischievous manner, one of his principal amusements being
to throw stones at people as they passed. He kept company
with all the idle boys in the neighbourhood, with whom he
was continually fighting, and was seldom without either a
black eye or a broken skin. His poor tree was neglected,
and never thought of till one day in Autumn, when by

chance, «eeing his brother's tree loaded with the finest apples,
aiid almost ready to break down with the weight, ho ran to his
own trre, not doubting that he should find it in the same pleas-
ing condition.
Great, indeed, were hia disappointment and surnrisft, when,
instead of finding the tree loaded with excellent truit, he be-
held nothing hut a few withered leaves, and branches covered
with mosH. lie instantly went to his father, and complainec
of his ])artiality in giving him a tree that was worthless anc
barren, while his brother's produced the most luxuriant fiuit
and he thought that his brother should, at least, give him half
of hisi a|)[)les.
His father told him, that it was by no means reasonable
that the industrious s^hould give U[) part of their labour to
feed the idle. " If your tree," said he, " has })roduced yoi
nothing, it is but a just reward of your indolence, since yoi
see what the industry of your brother has gained him
Your tree was equally full of blossoms, and grew in the
same soil ; but you j>aid no attention to the culture of it.
Your brother sulfered no visible insects to remain on his
tree; but you neghcted that caution, and suft'ered them tc
eat up the very buds. As I caimot bear to see even plants
perish through neglect, I must now take this tree from you,
and give it to your brother, whose care and attention may
possibly restore it to its former vigour. The fruit it pro-
duces shall be his property, and you nmst no longer con.^ider
yourselt as ha\'ing any right in it. However, you may go to
my nursery, and there choose any other which you may Uke
better, and try what you can do with it ; but if you neglect
to take pioper care of it, I shall r?»l,e that also from you, and
give it to your brother as a reward for his superior industry and
attention."
This had the desired effect on William, who clearly per-
ceived the justice and propiiety of his father's reasoning, and
instantly went into the nursery to choose the most thriving
apjile-tree he could meet with. His brother Thomas as-
sisted him in the culture of his tree, advising him in what
manner to proceed; and William made the best use of his
time, and the instructions he received from his brother. He
left off all his mischievous tncks, forsook the company of idle
boys, applied himself cheerfully to work, and in autumn re-
ceived the reward of his labour, his tree being loaded with fruit.

From this happy chatjgo in his conduct, lio dorivcd tho
,' iidvantag<^, not only of enrichini^ liiinaoU' with a plentiful
' crop of fruit, but also of getting rid of bad and pernicious

MORAL AND PRACTICAL OBSERVATIONS, WHICH OUGHT TO

Prosperity gains friends, and advereity tries them.
It is wiser to prevent a quarrel, than to revenge it.
Custom is the plague of wise men, and the idol of fools.
To err is human ; to forgive, divine.
It is much better to reprove, than to be angry secretly.
Diligence, industry, and a proper improvement of time, are
material duties of the young. ♦
Anger may glance into the breast of a wise man, but rests
only in the bosom of fools.
i> Sincerity and truth are the foundation of all virtue,
f <By others' faults wise men cowect their own.
To mourn without measure is folly ; not to mourn at all, in-
sensibility.
Truth and error, virtue and vice, are things of an immutable
flature. ' •

Idleness is tho bano of every thin^ : it is like the barren soil
of which all labour and cultivation are thrown away.
Tho acquisition of knowledge is one of the most honourable
occupations of youth.
When once you profess yourself a fritnd, endeavour to be al-

Vi'tuous youth (gradually brings forward accomplished and

None more impatiently sutler injuries, than those that are
most forward in doing them.
No revenge is more heroic, than that which torments envy by
doing g(»od.
Money, like manure, does no good till it is spread. There
is no real use of ridies, except in the distribution ; the rest is all
imaginary.
Complaisance renders a superior amiable, an equal agreeable,
and an mferior acceptable.
Excess of ceremony shows want of breeding. That politenese
is best which excludes all superfluous formality.
By taking revenge of an injury, a man is only even with his
enemy : by passing it over he is sujjerior.
No obj(^cti8 more ])leasing to the eye, than the sight of a man
whom you have obliged : nor any music so agreeable to the ear,
as the voice of one that owns you for his benefactor.
The coin that is most current among mankind is flattery ; the
only benefit of which is, that by heaiing what we are not, we
may be instructed what we ought to be.
A wise nian will desire no more than what he may get justly,
use soberly, distribute cheerfully, and live upon contentedly.
A contented mind, and a good conscience, will make a man
happy in all conditions. i

Ingratitude is a crime so shameful, that no man was ever

Truth is born with u,s ; and we must do violence to our nature

MORAL OBSERVATIONS.
H
i
rest of the world him who is most powerful or most
wealthy.
As to be perfectly just is an attribute of the divine nature, to
be so to the utmost of our abilities, is the glory of man.
No man was ever cast down with the injuries of fortune,
unless he had before suflered himself to be deceived by her
fa\ours.
Nothing moKe engages the aflfoclions of men, than a handsomo
address, and gi-aceful conversution.
A more glorious victory cannot be gained over another man,
than this; that though the injury begun on his part, the kind-
ness b<'guis on ours.
Philosoi)hy is then only valuable, when it serves as the law
of life, and not as the ostentation of science.
There cannot be a greater treachery, than first to raise confi-
dence, and then deceive it.
It is as gi-eat a point of wisdom to hide ignoi'ance, as to dis-
cover knowledge.
Some would be thought to do great things, who are but tools
and instruments ; like tlie foul who fancied he played upon the
organ, when he only blew the bellows.
No man hath a thorough taste of prosperity, to whom adver-
sity never hap})ened.
Truth is always consistent with itself, and needs nothing to
help it out. It is always near at hand, and sit^ upon our lips,
and is ready to drop out before we are awai-e : whereas a lie is
troublesome, and sets a man's invention on the rack : and one
trick needs a great many more to make it good.'
Pitch u])on that course of life which is the most excellent, and
habit will render it the most delightful.
The temperate man's pleasures are durable, because they
are regular ; and all his life is calm and serene, because it is
innocent.
We should take a prudent care for the future, but so as to
enjoy the present. It is no part of wisdom to be miserable to-
day, because we may happen to be so to-morrow.
Blame not before thou hast examined the truth ; understand
first, and then rebuke,
An angry man who suppresses his passions, thinks worse than
he speaks.

gi'eat minds have seldom admiration, because few things appear
new to them.
The man who tells nothing, or who tells every thing, will
equally have nothing told him.
The lips of tali^ers will be telling such things as appertain not
unto thcMn, but the words of such as have undei-standing are
weighed in the balance. The heart of fools is in their mouth,
but the tongue of the wise is in his heart.
He that is truly polite knows how to contradict witli respect,
an I to please without adulation ; and is equally remote from ar
insipid complaisance, and a low familiarity.
A good word is an easy obligation ; but not to speak ill re
quires only our silence, which costs us nothing.
Honourable ao-e is not that which standeth in len^fth of
time, nor which is measured by number of years ; but
wisdom is the grey hairs unto man, and unspotted life is old
age.
Let reason go before every enterprize, and counsel before
every action.
If thou wouldst get a friend, prove him first, and be not hasty
to credit him ; for some me^ are friends for their own occasions,
but will not abide in the .day of trouble.
A friend cannot be known in prosperity ; and an enemy can-
not be hidden in advei-sity.
He who discovereth secrets loseth his credit, and shall nevei
meet with a friend to his mind.
Honour thy father with thy whole heart, and forget not the
kindness of thy mother ; how canst thou recompense them the
things they have done for ihee ?
The latter part of a Mise man's life is taken up in curing the
follies, prejudices, and fake opinions, he had cr-ntracted in the
former.
He who tells a lie, is not sensible how great a task he under-
takes ; for he must be forced to invent twenty more to maintain
that one.
The prodigal robs his heir, the miser robs himself.
Economy is no disgrace : it is better to live on a little, than
to outlive a great deal-
Almost ail difficulties are overcome by industry and perse-

MORAL OBSEBVATIONS.
The weapon of the wise is reason ; the weapon of fools is
Bteel.
Never defer that till to-morrow, which can be as well per-
formed to-day.
ADVICE TO YOUNG PERSONS INTENDED FOR TRADE.
BY DR. BENJAMIN FRANKLIN.
Kemember that time is money. — He that can earn ten
shillings a day at his labour, and goes abroad or sits idle
one half of the day, though he spends but sixpence during
his diversion or idleness, ought not to reckon that the only ex-
pence : he has really spent, or rather thrown away, five shillings
besides.
Remember that credit is money. — If a man lets his money
lie in my hands after it is due, because he has a good opin-
ion of my credit, he gives me the interest, or so much as I can
make of the money during that time. This amounts to a con-
siderable sum where a man has large credit, and makes good
use of it.
Remember that money is of a proVjic or multiplying na-
ture. — Money can produce money, and its otFspring can produce
more, and so on. Five shillings turned is six ; turned again it
is seven and three-pence : and so on till it becomes a hundred
pounds. The more there is of it, the more it produces every
turning, so that the profits rise quicker and quicker. He that
throws away a crown, destroys all that it might have produced,
even scores of j)ound8.
Remember that six pounds a year is but a groat a day. —
For this httle sum (which may be daily wasted, either in time
or expence, unperceived) a man of credit may, on his own secu-
rity, have the constant possession and use of a hundred and
twenty pounds. So much in stock, briskly turned by an indus-
trious man, produces great advantage.
Remember this saying^ " The good, paymaster is lord of
another man's purse." — He that is known to pay punctually
and e^ictly to the time he promises, may at any time, and on
any r asion, raise all tlie money his friends can spare. This

is sometimes of great us Next to industry and frugality,
nothing contributes more to the raising of a man in the world,
than punctuality and justice in all his dealings; therefore
never keep borrowed money an hour beyond the time pro-
mised, lest a disappointment shut up your friend's pui-se for
ever.
The most trijling actions that affect a man's credit are to
he regarded. — The sound of the Jiammer at five in the morning,
or nine at night, heard by a creditor, makes him easy six
months longer ; but if he sees you at a billiard-table, or hears
your voice at a tavern, when you should be at work, he sends
for his money the next day, and demands it before it is conve-
nient for you to pay him.
Beware of thinidng all your own that you possess^ and
of living accordingly. — This is a mistake that many people
who have credit fall into. To prevent this, keep an exact ac-
count, for some time, both of your expences and income. If
you take the pains at fii*st to enumerate particulars, it will have
this good effect : you will discover how wondei-fully small tri-
'fling expenses mount up to large sum? and will discern what
might have been, and may for the future be saved, without oc-
casioning any great inconvenience.
In short, the way to wealth, if you desire it, is as plain as the
way to market. It depends chiefly on two things, industry and
frugality ; that is, waste neither time nor money, but make the
best use of both.

BRIEF INTRODUCTION TO THE ARTS AND SCIENCES, EX-
PLAINING THE PHENOMENA OF NATURE.
1. Agriculture, the most useful and Innocent of all pursuits,
tenches the nature of soils, and their proper adaptation and man-
agement for the production of food for man and beast. .
2. Air. — Air is a transparent, invisible, elastic fluid, surround-
ing the earth to the height of several miles. It contains the prin-
ciples of life and vegetation ; and is found by experiments to be
eight hundred times lighter than water.
3. Anatomy. — Anatomy is the art of dissecting the human
body when dead, and of examining and arranging its parts; in
order to discover the nature of diseases, and thus promote the
knowledge of medicine and surgery.
4. Architecture. — Architecture is the art of planning and
erecting all sorts of buildings, according to the best models. It
contains five orders ; called the Tuscan, Doric, Ionic, Corinthian,
and Composite.
6. Arithmetic. — Arithmetic is the art of computing by num-
bers ; and notwithstanding the great variety of its application, it
consists of only four principal operations; Addition, Subtraction,
Multiplication, and Division.
6. Astronomy. — Astronomy is that grand and sublime science
which makes us acquainted with the figures, distances, and revo-
lutions, of the planetary bodies ; and with the nature and extent
of the universe.
The Planets of our system are Mercurj'', Venus, the Earth,
Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Herschcl ; and three small planets situated
between Jupiter and Mars, lately discovered, and named Juno,
Ceres, and Pallas. These revolve about the Sun; and to Jupiter,
Saturn, and Herschel, there are moons attached, like that which
attends the Earth.
Besides these, there are Comets; and millions of Fixed Stars
which are probably of use to otiier systems.
7. Biography. — Biogniphy records the lives of eminent men,
and may be called the science of life and manners. It teaches from
experience, and is therefore the most useful to youth.
8. Botany. — Botany is that part of natural history which
treats of vegetables. It arranges them in their proper classes,
and describes their structure and use ; and is a most delightful
study.
9. Chemistry. — Chemistry is the science which explains the
constituent principles of bodies, the results of their various combi-
nations, a

nations, and the laws by which those combinations are affected. It
is a very entertaining and useful pursuit.
10. Chronology. — Chronology teaches the method of comput-
ing time, and distinguishing its parts, so as to determine what period
has elapsed since any memorable event.
11. Clouds. — Clouds are nothing but collections of vapours
suspended in the air. They are from a quarter of a mile to two
miles high. A fog is a cloud which, touches the earth.
12. Commerce. — Commerce is the art of exchanging one com-
modity for another, by buying or selling, with a view to gain.
Though private emolument is its origin, it is the bond of nations, and
by it one country participates in the productions of all others.
13. Cosmography. — Cosmography is a description of the world
or the universe, including the earth and infinite space. It naturally
divides itself into two parts, Geography and Astronomy.
14. Dew. — Dew is produced from extremely subtile particles
of water floating in the air, and condensed by the coolness of the
night.
15. Electricity. — Electricity is a power in nature which is
made to show itself by friction. If a stick of sealing-wax, or a
piece of glass be rubbed upon the coat, or upon a piece of flannel,
it will instantly attract pieces of paper, and other light substances.
The power which occasions this attraction is called electricity.
In larger experiments, this power appears in liquid fire, and is
of the same nature as lightning. In a particular kind of new ex-
periments, it has lately acoui'ed the name of Galvanism.
16. Earthquakes. — An earthquake is a sudden motion of the
earth, supposed to be caused by the explosion or discharge of the
electrical power; but the ditferemre in the mode by which earth-
quakes and lightning are effected, has not yet been clearly ascer-
tained.
17. Ethics. — Ethics, or morals, teach the science of proper con-
duct according to the respective situations of men.
18. Geography. — Geography is that science which makes us
acquainted with the constituent parts of the globe, and its distribu-
tion into land and water. It also teaches us the limits and bounda-
ries of countries ; and their peculiarities, natural and political. It
is the eye and the key of history.
19. Geometry. — This sublime science teaches the relations of
magnitude, and the properties of surfaces. In an extended «ense,
it is the science of chfemopstration. It includes the greater part of
mathematics, and is generally preferred to logic in teaching the art
of reasoning.
20. Hail. — Hail is formed from rain congealed in its descent
by the coolness of the atmosphere.
21. History. — History is a narration of past facts and events,
relative to all ages and nations. It is the guide of the statesman,
and the favourite study of the enlightened ''cholar. It is, or
a

BRIEF IXTRODUCTIOX TO
\
ouglit to be, the common school of mankind, equally open and
useful to princes and subjects.
22. Rainbow. — The rainbow is produced by the refraction
and reflection of the sun's beams from falling drops of rain. An
artificial rainbow may be produced by means of a garden engine,
the water from which must be thrown in a direction contrary to
that of the sun.
23. Logic. — Logic is the art of employing reason efficaciously
in inquiries after truth, and in communicating the result to
others.
24. Mechanics. — Mechanics teach the nature and laws of mo-
tion, the action and force of moving bodies, and the construction
and effects of machines and engines.
25. Medicine. — The art of medicine consists in the knowledge
of the disorders to which the human body is subject, and in apply-
mg proper remedies to remove or relieve them.
26. METArHYSics. — Metaphysics may be considered as the sci-
encie of the mind. It treats only of abstract qualities: and though
it may exercise ingenuity, yet from the nature of the subjects about
which it is employed, it cannot lead to absolute certainty.
27. Meteors. — Meteors are moving bodies appearing in the at-
mosphere, and supposed to be occasioned by electricity.
28. Mists.' — ^IVIists are a collection of vapours commonly rising
from fenny places or rivers, and becoming more visible as the light
of the day decreases. When a mist ascends high in the air, it is
calJed a cloud.
29. Music. — Music is the practice of harmony, arising from a
eombination of melodious sounds.
30. Natural History. — Natural history includes a descrip-
tion of the forms and instincts of animals, the growth and proper-
ties of vegetables and minerals, and whatever else is connected
with nature.
31. Optics. — Optics are the science of vision; whether per-
formed by the eye, or assisted by instruments. This science
teaches the construction and use of telescopes, microscopes, and
other instruments of that nature.
32. Painting. — Painting is one of the fine arts; and by a
knowledge of the principles of drawing and the effects of colours
it teaches to represent all sorts of objects. A good painter must
possess an original genius.
33. Pharmacy. — Pharmacy is the science of the apothecary.
't teaches the choice, preparation, and mixture«of medicines.
34. Philosophy. — Philosophy is the study of nature and of
morals, or the principles of rea.son.
35. Physics. — Piiysics treat of nature, and explain the phe-
nomena of the material world.
36. Physiognomy. — Piiysiognomy teaches, or pretends to teacli,

37. PoETiiY. — I'oetry is a speaking picture ; representing real
or fictitious events by a succession of mental imagery, generally
delivered in measured numbers. It at once refines the heart and
elevates the soul.
38. Rain. — Rain is produced from clouds, condensed or run
together by the cold ; which, by their own weight, fall in drops of
water. When they fall with violence, they are supposed to be im-
pelled by the attraction of electricity.
39. Religion. — Religion is the worship offered to the Su-
preme Being, in the manner that we conceive to be the most,
agreeable to his will, in order to procure his blessing and avoid hii
displeasure.
40. Sculpture. — Sculpture is the art of carving or hewing
stone and other hard substances into images.
41. Snow. — Snow is congealed water or clouds; the particles
of which freezing, and touching each other, descend in beautiful
flakes. '■ ,
42. Surgery. — Surgery is that branch of the healing art which
consists in manual operations by the help of proper instruments, oi
in curing wounds by suitable applications.
43. — Theology. — Theology is that sublime science which con-
templates the nature of God and divine things,
44. — Thunder and lightning. — These awful phenomena are
occasioned by the power called electricity. Lightning consists of
a stream of the electrical fire, or fluid, passing between the clouds
and the earth; and the thunder is nothing more than the explosion,
with its echoes, occasioned by the sudden passage of the lightning
through the air. •
Thunder and lightning bear the same relation to each other as
the flash and the report of a cannon ; and by the space of time
which occurs between tliem in both cases, their distance from a
particular spot may be known, reckoning 1142 feet for every mo-
ment.
45. Tides. — The tides are the alternnte flux and reflux of the
sea, which generally take place everj^ six hours. This constant
motion {(reserves the water from putrefaction. The tides are occa-
sioned by the united attraction exercised by the moon and sun
upon the waters.
46. Vkksificatkjn. — ^Versification is the arranging of words
and syllables in such 'equal order, as to produce that harmony
which'distinguishes ])oetry from prose. Verse may be either blank
or in rhyme. In blank verse, the last words cf the line do not cor-
respond in sound as they do in rhyme.

OUTLINES OF GEOGRAPHY.
The circumference of the globe is 360 degrees; ench degree
containing 69 and a half English, or 60 geogniphical miles: and
it is divided into four great divisions ; Europe, Asia, Africa, and
America.
EUROPE.
In whatever light we consider Europe, it will appear the most
distinguished quarter of the globe, though it is the smjillest. The
temperature of the climate, the fertility of the soil, the progress of
the arts and sciences, and the establishment of a mild and pure re-
ligion, render it eminently superior, particularly in modern times.
Europe is bounded on the North by the Frozen Ocean ; on the
East by Asia, and the rivers Don, Wolga, and Oby ; on the South
by the Mediterranean ; and on the West by the Atlantic Ocean ;
extending about three thousand miles in length, and two thousand
five hundred in breadth.
It is divided into several powerful kingdoms and states; of which
Great Britain, France, Spain, Germany, and Russia, are the principal.
The names of the chief nations of Europe, and their capital cities
&c., are as follow ;

1 hough, in the revolutions of time and events, Asjn has lost much
of its original distinction, still it is entitled to a very lii^Wi rank for
its jimjiziiig extent, for the richi.ess and variety of its prodiictiona,

Asia is about four thousand eight hundred miles long, and four

Fro/en Ocean, by tlie Pacific Ocean on the East, by the Red Sea

is the prevailing form of government, and Mahoraetanism and idol-
atry are the general religions.

AFRICA.
This division of the Globe lies to the South of Europe : and is
surrounded on all sides by the sea ; except a narrow neck of Land
called the isthmus of Sue/, wliich uniles it to Asia. It is about four
thousand three hundred miles long, and four thousand two hundred
broad; and is chiefly situated vviiliin the torrid zone.
Except the countries occupied by the Egyptians, those venerable
fathers of learning, and the Cajithaginians, who were once the rivals
of the powerful empire of Rome, this extensive tract has always
been sunk iu gross barbarism, and degrading superstition. Enlight-
ened nations, taking advantage of tlie ignorance and effeminacy of
its inhabitants, have commonly devoted them to slavery; and thus
tarnisjied the lustre of >^cience, and disgraced the profession or true
religion, by a cruel ai\d mercenary trathc in their fellow-creatures.
A benevolent mind sluulders at the reflection, and a real Christian
blushes to own that his fellow-men are thus the prey of those who
profess Christianity.

internal parts, or wholly extirpated them.
The soil and climate of Auioriea are as various as nature can
produce. Extending nearly nine thousand miles in leugtii, and
three thousand in breadth, it includes every degree of heat and
cold, of plenty and sterility.
The great division of the continent of America is into North and
South ; commencing at the Isthnius of Daricn, which in some places
is little more than thirty miles over.
The numerous isljinds between these two divisions of this conti-

A BRIEF SURVEY OF THE UNIVERSE.
Whkn the shades of night have spread tlieir veil over the plains,
the firmatnent manifests to our view its grandiuir and its riches.
'i'he spr.rkling points wilii which it is studded, are so many suns
suspended by the Almighty in the immensity of space, for the
worlds which roll round them.
" TJie heavens declare the glory of God, and the firnianient show-
eth his handy work."' The royal poet, who expressed himself with
such lofiiness of sentiment, was not aware that the stars which he
contemplated were in reality suns. He anticipated these times ; and
iirst sung that majestic hymn, which future and more enlightened
ages should chant forth in praise to the Founder of Worlds.
The assemblage of these vast bodies is divided into different
Systems, the number of whicii probably surpasses the grains of
sand which the sea easts on its shores.
Each system has at its centre a star, or sun, which shines by
its own native light ; and round which several orders of opak«

Wh'itiin lUijUfust, what an ania/iri<r conception, does thin pfive of the
woi'k of the Creator! thonsands of thousands of suns, nudliplied wilh-
ont end, and ranjriMl all rontid us at immense distances from each
otiu'r: atleuih'dbyten thousand tim«'s ten thousand worlds, nil in rapid
iwoiion, yetcalm, re<,ndar,und harmonious, invuriuhly keepin;rthe paths
prescribed them; and these worlds (h)ubtles.s pe(>j)ied with millions
>f beings, formed for endless prttf^ression in perfection and felicity !
From what we know of our own system, it may be reasonably
oncluded that all the rest are with equal wisdom contrived, situated,
id })»-ovided with accommodations for rational inhabitants. Let us
lerefore take a .survey of the system to which we belonj^, the only
>ne accessible to us; and thence we shall be the better enabled to
judife of the nature of the other systems of the universe.
Those stars which appear to wander among the heavenly host,
are the planets. The primary or principal ones have the sun for
the connnon centre of their periodical revolutions ; while the others,
or secondary ones, which are called satellites or moons, move round
their primaries, accompanying them in their annual orbits.
Our Earih has one satellite or moon, Jupiter four, i^aturn seven,
and lierschel six. Saturn has besides a luminous and beAUtiful ring.
We know that our solar system consists of twenty-seven planetary
bodies, but we are not certain thnt there are not more. The num-
ber known has been considerably augmented since the invention of
telescopes; and by more peri'ect instruments, and more accurate ob-
servers, mily perhaps be further increased.
Modern astronomy has not only thus shown ns new planets, but
has also to our senses enlarged the boundar'es of the solar system.
The comets, which from their fallacious appearance, their tail, their
beard, the diversity of their directions, and their sudden appearance
and disappearance, were anciently considered as meteors, are found
to be a species of planetary bod'es ; their lon;^ tracts are now cal-
cnl.ited by astroiutmcrs ; who can foretel their periodical return, de-
terjnine their place, and account for their irregularities. Many of
these bodies at present revolve round the sun: though the orbits
which they trace round him are so extensive, that centuries are
neecss.iry for them to complete a single revolution.
In short, from modern astronomy we learn that the -^tars are iiinu-
nierablo ; and that the constellations, in which the anei<'nts reckoned
hut a few, are now kiUjwn to conlain thousaiu.s. The heavens as
known to the philosophers Tliales and Hipp'srchus were very poor,
when compared to the stale in which they are shown by later as-
tronomers.
The diameter of the orbit which our earth describes, is more
than a hundred and ninety millions of miles; yet this vast extent
almosi vanishes into nothing, and becomes a mere point, when the
astronomer uses it as a measure to ascertinn the distance of the
fixed stars. What then must be the bulk of these luminaries,

which are perooptible by us at s'H'h an cnormoiiH (li.stnnco ! The
8UH is jihoiil fi riiiliiuii times jrrcalfir than tlic earth, and more tharj
live Jiundred times f^reater Ihan all the phinets tnken toj^'etlu-r ; and
il'tlie stars are suns, as we have every reason to suppose, they un-
doubtedly e(|uid or exceed it in size.
Proud and i),qiorant mortal ! liill up now thine eyes to heaven,
and say, it' one of those lumintiries wliieli adorn the starry heav<'n
'jhould bo taken uvvay, would thy niylits !)eeome darker.' Think
not then that the Htars aro made for thee ; that it is for thee tluit
the tirmanient {jfiitters with etfiil^n'nt bri^ditness. Feeble mortal!
thou wast not the Hole object of the liberal hounties of the Creator,
when ho appointed Sirius, and eneompawsed it with worlds.
While the planets perform their periodical revohitions round the
Bun, by which tho course of their year is regulated, they turn rouiui
their own centres, by which they obtain the alternate succession of
day and night.
But by what means are these vast bodies suspended in the im-
mensity of space? What secret power retains them in their orbits,
and enables them to circulate with so much regularity and harmony?
Gravity, or Attraction, is tho powerful agent, the universal principle,
of this equilibrium and of these motions. It j)enetrateH all bodies.
By this power, they tend towards each other in a proportion relative
to their bulk. Thus the planets tend towards the centre of the
system ; into which they would soon have been precipitated, if the
Creator, when he formed them, had not impressed upon them a
projectile or centrifugal force, which continually keeps them at a
proper distance from it.
The planets, by obeying at the same time both these motions,
describe a curve. This curve is an oval of ditlerent eccentricities,
according to the combinations of the two active powers.
Thus the same force which determines the fall of a stone, is the
ruling principle of the heavenly motions. Wonderfid mechjuiism !
the simplicity and energy of which give us unceasing tokens of the
profound wisdom of its Author.
Our earth or globe, which seems so vast in the eyes of the fr.'iil
beings who inhabit it, and whose diameter is above seven thousand
nine hundred and seventy nn'les, is yet nearly a thousand times
smaller than Jupiter, which appears to the naked eye as little more
than a shining atom.
A rare, transparent, and elastic substance, surrounds the enrth to
a certain height. This substance is the air or attnosphere, the region
of the winds; an immense reservoir o'' vapours, which, v hen con-
densed into clouds, either eui))ellisli the sky i)y .tiie variety of (heir
figures and the richness of their colouring; or :istonish us by the
rolling thunder, or Hashes of lightning, that escape from them.
Sometimes they melt away ; and at other times are condensed into
rain or hail, supplying the deticieneies of the earth with the super-
fluity of heaven.
The moon, the nearest of all the planets to the earth, is likewise

Venus has, like the nu)on, her j)ha>es, spots, and 'nountains.
The telesc(»pe discovers also spots in Mars and .Jupiter. 'J'ho^e in

Mercury, Kuturn, and Ilerschel, are eomparatively but little
known: the lirst, becau.se he is too near the sun; the last two,
because they are so remot(! from it.
Ji.istly, the Sun himself has spots, which seem to move with
regularity; and the size of wijieh equals and very often exceeds,
the surface of our globe.
Every thing in the universe is systematical; all is combination,
aflinity, and connection.
From the relations which exist between nil parts of our world,
and by w hich they conspire to one general end, results the har-
mony of the world.
The relations whicli unite all the worlds to one another consti-
tute the harmony of the universe.
The beauty of the world is founded in the harmonious diversity of
the beings that compose it; in the number, the extent, aud the qual-
ity of their eifects; and in the sum of happiness that arises from it.

may by this means be enabled to contribute in restoring some unfortunate
fcllow-crcatnre to tlie blessing of existence.
When in the stream, by accident, is found
A pallid body of the recent drown'd,
Though ev'ry sign of life is wholly tied,
And all are reiuly to pronounce it dead,
With tender care the clay-cold body lay
In flannel warm, and tc .ome house convey :
The nearest cot, whose doors still open lie
When mis'ry calls, will ev'ry want supply.
Is it a child, yet weak in strength and age,
Then let thy thoughts the gentlest means engage.
In some warm bed between two persons laid,
Infant or child may claim no further aid.
If woman, man, or youth, attendance claims.
Then mark the rules that sage experience frames.
First, lay the body on a couch or bed.
With gentle slope, and lightly raise the head.
Do winter's cold or damps extend their gloom,
Let moderate fires attemper soft the room.
Or does the sun in summer splendour stream,
Expose the body to its cheering beam.
And when with tepid cloths it well is dried.
Let friction soft, with Haiiuels, be applied.
\ . These lightly sprinkle first, ere you begin,
With rum, or brandy, mustard, or with gin.
Bottles or bladders, tiiPd with water hot, /
And heated tiles, or bricks, should next be got:
These wrapt in flannel, with precaution meet,
^ And then apply them to the hands and feet;
.:.; Nor with the heated warming-pan be slack,
But move it lightly o'er the spine and back.
Let one the mouth, and either nostril, close.
While through the other tlie bellows gently blovfs. '
Thus the pure airwith steady force convey,
To put the flaccid lungs agnin in pjay.
Should bellows not be found, or touiid too late,
Let some kind soul with willing mouth inflate;
Then downward, though but lightly, press the chost,
And let th' intlated air be upward prest.
But should not these succeed, with all your care,
With vigour then to diff 'rent means repair ; J
' Tobaceo-smoke has often prov'd of use.
Nor proudly thou the potent herb refuse ;

That life was fled, and could return no more;
Who much have wish'd, and yet despair'd, to save,

2. THE BEGGAR'S PETITION.
Pity the sorrows of a poor old man,
Whose trembling steps have borne him to your doori,
Whose days are dwindled to the shortest span;
Oh ! give relief, and Heav'n will bless your store.
These tatter'd clothes my poverty bespeak.
These hoary locks proclaim my lengthen'd years,
Aud many a furrow in my grief-worn cheek
Has been the channel to a flood of tears.
Yon house, erected on the rising ground.
With tempting aspect drew me from' the road:
For Plenty there a residence has found;
And Grandeur a magniticent abode.
Hard is the fate of the infirm and poor !
Here, as I craved a morsel of their bread,
A pamper'd menial drove me from the door,
To seek a shelter in an humble shed.
Oh ! take rae to your hospitable dome ;
Keen blows the wind, and piercing is the cold:
Short is my passage to the friendly tomb;
For I am poor, and miserably old.
Pity the sorrows of a poor old man,
Whose trembling steps have borne him to your door,
Whose days are dwindled to the shortest span ;
Oh ! give relief, and Heav'n will bless your store.

Oh ! hear a pensive prisoner's prayer
For liberty that sighs ; ~
And never let thine heart be shut
Against the wretch's cries.
For here furlofn and sad I sit
Within the wiry grate ;
And tremble at the approaching morn
Which brings impending fate.

And spurn'd a tyrant's chain,
Let not thy strong oppressive force
A free-born mouse detain.

Nor triumph that thy wiles betrayed
A prize so little worth.

But if thy unrelenting heart
That slender boon deny, —

Are blessings widely giv'n ;

The common gifts of heav'n.

To all compassion gives.
Casts round the world an equal eye,
And feels for all that lives.

Will tread aside, and let the reptile live.

The spacious firmament on high,
And all the blue ethereal sky,
And spangled heavens, a shining frame,

Does his Creator's power display,
And publishes to every land
The work of an Almighty hand.
Soon as the evening shades prevail,
The Moon takes up- the wondrous tale,
And niohtly to the list'ning Earth
Repeats the story of her birth :
W^hile all the Stars that round her burn,
And all the Planets, in their turn.
Confess the tidings as they roll.
And spread the truth from pole to polo.
What though in solemn silence all
Move round liiis dark terrestriiil ball?
What though nor real voice nor sound
Amid their radiant orbs be found ?
In Reason's ear they all rejoice,
And utter forth a glorious voice;
For ever singing, as they shine,
*' The Hand that made us is divine."

AITEXDIX.
Skct. I.— of letters and SYLLABLES.
The general division of letters is into vowels and conso-
nants.
The vowels are a, e^ i, o, n, and sometimes ra and 1/ ; and with-
out one of these there can bo no perfect sound: all the other let-
ters, and sometimes iv and y, are called consonants.
A diphthong is the uniting of two vowels into one syllable ; as
in plain, fair.
A tripiithong is the uniting of three vowels into one syllable ; as
in /'tew, beauty,
A syllable is the complete sound of one or more letters ; as a,
am, art.
Sect. IL— OF THE PARTS OF SPEECH, OR, KINDS OF WORDS
INTO WHICH ^4 LANGUAGE IS DIVIDED.
Tlie parts of speech, or kinds of words in language, are ten, as
follow :
1. An ARTICLE is a p^rt of speech set before nouns, to fix their
signification. The articles are a, an, and the.
2. A NOUN is the name of a per.son, place, or thing. Whatever
can be seen, heard, felt, or understood, is a noun; as, John, Lon-
don, honour, goodness, haok, pen, desk, slate, paper, ink all these
words are nouns.
3. An ADJECTIVE is a word that denotes the quality of any per-p.
son, place, or thing.
An adjective euiniot stand by itself, but must have a noun to
which it belongs ; as a good man, njine city, a noble action.
Adjectives admit of comparison; as bright, brighter, brightest:
except those which cannot be either increased or diminished in
their signitication; as full, empty, round, square, entire, perfect, coni'
plete, exact, imrnediale.
4. A PRONOUN is a word used instead of a noun. Pronouns sub-
stantive are those which declare tiieir ov.ii meaning; and pronouns
adjective are those which have no meaning unless they are joined
to a substantive.
The pronouns substantive are /, thou, he, she, it, we, ye, they, who.
Pronouns adjective are, 7ny, thy, his, her, its, our, their, your^ //lis,
that, those, wiucli, what, and some otherc
V
138
OF THE PARTS OP SPEECH.
6 A VERB is a word that denotes the acting or being of any per-
son, place, or thing: as J love, he hales, men laiif^h, iiorses run. In
every sentence there uiu.st be a verb: in the above short example,
love, liateSf laugh, run, are verbs.
An s is always joined to a verb after a noun in the singular num-
ber, or after the pronouns hs, she, or it; aa the man run.s, he runs',
or she runs.
Tlie verb be has peculiar variations : as, I am ; thou art ; he, she,
or it, is; we are; you are; they are. 1 ivas ; thou wast; he, she,
or it, //;«,•>■ ; we wei'e ; ye were; they were.
a. A PARTiuii'LK is formed from a verb, and participates of tiio
nature of an adjective liilso ; 'as, locing, lencking, heard, aetn.
7. An ADVERB is a part of speech joined to a verb, an adjective,
a participle, and sometimes to another adverb, to express the (jual-
ity or circumstance of it: as yesterday 1 went to town; you speak
truly ; here comes Jolin.
Some adverbs admit of comparison: as (fteri, oftener, oflenest ;
soon, soowr, soonest. 'I'hese may be also compared by the other
abverbs, /nuch, more, most, and very.
Adverbs have relation to time ; as noiv, then, lately, cf-c. ; to place;
as here, there, tifc. : and to number or quantity ; as once, twice,
much, tj r.
8. A coNJUNCTio^j is a part of speech which joins words or
sentences together: as John and Jjimes ; neither the one nor the
other. Albeit, although, and, because, but, either, else, however,
if, neither, nor-, though, therefore, thereupon, u}iless, u^hereas, where-
upon, whether, notwithstanding, and yet, are conjunctions.
The foregoing are always conjunctions: but these six following
are sometimes adverbs ; also, as, otherwise, since, likewise, then.
Except and save are sometimes verbs; for is sometimes a preposi^
tion; and that is sometimes a pronoun,
9. A PRErosiTiOiV is a word set before nouns or pronouns,
to express tlie relation of persona, phices, or things, to each
other : as I go ivith liim ; he went from me ; divide this amuig
you.
The prepositions are as follow : about, above, after, against^
among, at, before, behind, bdow, beneath, between, beyond, by, fn',
from, in, into, of, of}', on, upon, over, through, to, un.-j, towards, under,
with, within, without.
10. An INTERJECTION is a word not necessary to the sense, hut
thrown in to express any sudden emotion of the mind; as, ah I U !
or oh i alas ! hark !

*,(j* The Teacher should exercise his pupils frequently in distin-
guishing the Parts of Speech in other Senh'uces. When this is
readily done, ihey may proceed to the Study of Syntax, or the Rules
by which a Language is constructed.
Sbct. III.-
-SYNTAX. OR SHORT RULES FOR WRITING AND
SPEAKING GRAMMATICALLY.
Rule 1. A verb must agree with its noun or pronoun; as the
man laugh.s, he laughs; the man is laughing: they are laughing.
It would be improper to say the man laugh, he laugh; or the men
is laughing; they laughs.
Rule 2. Pronouns must always agree with the nouns to which
they refer; as the pen is '.ad, and // should be mended. It would
be improper to say, the pen is bad and she should be mended, or
he should be mended, or they should be mended.
Rule 3. The pronouns me, us, him, her, are always put after
verbs which express action, or after prepositions: as, he beats me;
she teaches him; he runs from us. It would be improper to say,
he beats /; siie teaclies he ; or he runs from ive.
Rule 4. When two nouns come together, one of which belongs
to the other, the first noun requires to have an s annexed to it; as
George's book, the boy's coat.
Rule 5. The pronoun which refers to things, and loho to per-
sons ; as, the house which has been sold, or the man who bough*
it. It would be improper to say the house who has been sold, o
the man which bought it.
140 OF EMPHASIS. — DIRECTIONS FOR READINO.
Sect. IV.-OF EMPHASIS.
When we distinguish niiy piirticular Hyll;il)lo in a \vt>rd v\i(!i
a strong voice, it is cMllcd acc.rnl ; but ulii'ie iiny li.'U-tic'ul.'ir
word in a sentence is thus distinguished, it is culled ,".nipliasis\
and the word on wliicii the stress is hiid is culled the emphalical
word.
Some sentences contain more penses than one, and tlio sense
which is intended can only bo known by observing on what word
the emphasis is hiid. For example : S,liaU you ride to lAnul.n tn-
ihiij! TIhs question is capable of four diherent senses, accord-
ing to the word on wiiich Hie empliasis is laid. If it be laid on
the word 7/0//, the answer may be, "No, but I inlend to send viy
seriard in my stead, if it be on the word rldn, llie proper answer
maybe, "]\o, but I intend to vaj.k.'" Jf llie empluisis be placed
on the word London, it is a diilerent question : and the answer
may be, " No, for I design to ride into ihe cotinlry.'" If it be laid
on the word to-daif, the answer may be, " No, but I sliull to-mor-
ruui."
Of such importance sometin)es is a right emphasis, in determin-
ing the proper sense of what we read or speak.
Sect. V.— DIRECTIONS FOR READING WITH ELEGANCE AND
PROPRIETr.
•
Be careful to attain a perfect knowledge of the nature and sound
of vowels, consonants, diplitlioiigs, &c. and give every syllable, and
eveiy single word, its ju-t and full sound.
If you meet with a word you do not understand, do not guess
at it, but divide it in your mind into its proper number of syl-
lables.
Avoid /lem's, O'.s 'Tid ha'a, between your words.
Attend to your subject, and deliver it in just the same manner
as yon would do if you were talking of it. T4n's is the great,
general, and most important rale of all ; which, if carefully
observed, will correct almost all the faults of a bad proimn-
eiation.
Let the tone and sound of your voice in reading be the same
as 'n talking; and do not afteet to change that natural and easy
sound with which you then speak, for a strange, new, awkward
tone.
Take particular notice of your stops and pauses, but make no
stops where the sense admits of none.
Place the accent upon its proper syllable, and the emphasis upon
the proper word in a sentence.

SixT. VI.— OF CAPITALS.
A CAriTAL, or great letter, must never be used in the middle or
end of a word ; but is proj)(.'r in tin- fol'-" iiig oases:
1. At the begiimlng of any writing, book, chapter, or para-
graph.
2. After a period, or full stop, when a new sentence begins.
3. At the begiiniing of every line in poetry, and every verse in
the Bible.
4. At the beginning of proper names of all kinds : whether of
persons, as Thomas; places, as Luivlon ; ships, as the Ilopewelly
&c.
5. All the names of God must begin with a great letter: as God,
Lord, the Eternal, the Almighty; and also the Son of God, the

Sect. VII.— STOPS AND MARKS USED JN READING.
A COMMA, marked thus (,), is a pause, or resting in speech, while
•'ou may count one; as in the first stop of the following example:
et wisdom, gel understanding ; forget it not: neither decline from
ne words of my mouth.
A semicolon (;) is a note of breathing, or a pause while you may
lount two ; and is used to divide the clauses of a sentence, as in
lie second" pause of the above example.
A colon (:) is a pause while you may count three, and is used
vhen the sense is perfect but not ended ; as in the third stop of
he above example. :
A period, or full stop (.), demotes the longest pause, or while
you may count four ; and is placed after a sentence v/hen it is
complete and fully ended, as in the stop at the end of the above
example.
A, dash ( — ) is frequently used to divide clauses of a period or
paragraph ; sometimes accompanying the full stop, and adding to
its length. When used by itself it requires no variation of the
voice, and is equal in length to the semicolon.
An interrogation (?) is used wiien a question is asked, and re-
quires as long a pause as a full stop. It is always placed uftjr a
question ; as, Who is thai. J
A note of admiration or exclamation f!) is used when any thing
is expressed with wonder, and in good pronunciation requires a
pause somewhat longer than the period : as, How great is thy merey^
O Lord of hosts .'

[ The Editor considers the two folloioing Articles as by no means likely
to prove the least useful in his book to a great mnjority of those in a sitiia-
tio7i to profit by it. He hopes therefore that in endeaiiou'ring to express the
irv£ pronunciation of the foreign words, he shall not he thought to have diS'
figured his pages beyond what the occasion warrants.] "
