PREFACE.

'.■'^k
,^*v
NoTwiTHSTAimif o tbe vest number of in^t(Mgr books
for young dhfldren whkb hare been written withm these
few years, by peiions 6f distiitguished abQities» and sanc-
tioned with tneir names, it must iCiD be allowed that
there has not appeared a sinde Introduetion to Reading,
for the general use of Schods, that ijaes above the level
of the vulgar, though popidar, cottfuilations of Dyche,
Dilworth, and Fennmg. '
For the neglect whiui we have alluded to, it would be
impossible to produce any consistent reason, rerhaps
the pride of acknowledged literature could not stoop to
an occupation reputed so mean, as that of compiling a
Spelling Book. Vet to lay the first stone of a noble
edifice has ever been a tatK delegated to honourable
hands; and to sow the ftn^ il^eds of usefiil learning m the
nascent mind, is an em|myment that can reflect no dis-
credit on the moit illustrkms talents.
Gitt sentiment* and our conduct are much more influ-
enced byearly impressions than man]^ seem willing to
allow. The stream will alwt^ flow tinctured with the
nature of its sbprce: a jutt maxim, t humane principle, a
germ of knowledge eariy imbibed, will be permanent
and fixed. The mst books we read can never be foi^ot-
ten, nqjr the morals they incvdcate be eradicated.
Hence, in the compdation of this little Volume, care
has been taken to majce ev e^ lesson or essay, at far as
Ihe nature and intention 6f mt pkn would lolow, tend
to some usefiil purpose of information or instruction.
Even in the more easy progressive lessons, it is lioped
something will be found either to please or improve.
Hue Smpendw may be learned by Inart, in part or whol-
ly« ait we discretion of Uie niaster. Tlie snCiit Prayers
adkL Ci^techism of the Ghmch otu^t eariy to be tavipit;
for that education must always be defective, and even
diSfeious, wbich h«s not reUgion for its ftmndation '

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

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

the grate; which burnt her much, and gave her I
great pain; and she cannot work or play, or do
the least thing with her hand. It was a sad tlung

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

There was a lit^tle boy, who was not high-er
thui the ta-ble, and his pa-pa and mam-ma sent
him to school. It w&s & ve-ry plea-sant morn-
ing; the sun shone, and the birds sung oi^ the
trfecs. Now this little boy did npt love his
book much, for he was but a sil-ly lit-tlc boy,
as I said before. If he had been a big boy, I
sup-pose he would have been wi-ser: but he
had a great mind to play in-stead of go-ing to
school. And h^ saw a bee fly-ing a- bout, first
up-On one flow-er, and then up-on an-oth-ep; so
he said, Pret-ty bee, will you come and pjay

bad men may get in. Then the lit-tle boy went

and clear Wa-ter to drink; and if they were sick,
he was ve-ry g'bbd to them; and wben ihey
climb-ed up a steep hill, and the lambs were
ti-red, he u^sed to car-ry them in his arms; and
when they were all eat-ing their sup^pers in the

a tune, and sing, to them; and so they were
haprpy sheep and lambs. And every night this

be shut up at night in the fold; and she came to,
her moth-er, who was a Urise old sheep, and said
to her, ! won-der why we are shut up so all
night! the dogs arie not shut up, and why should
We be shut up? I thihk it i* ve-rjthard, and I
%vin get a-way if I can, that l will, for I like to

the old sheep said to her. You are ve-ry sil-ly,

*rhe shep-herd is so good to us, that we should '

There was once a lit-tle boy, who was a sad
cow-ard. He was a-fraid of al-most a-ny thing.
He was a-fraid of the two lit*tle kids, Nan-ny
and Bil-ly, when they came and put their no-ises
through the pales of the court; and he would
not pull BiMy by the beard. What a sil-ly lit^tle
boy ne was! rray what was his name? Nay, 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 ii a dog
barked^ and ran a-way, and took hold of Iiis
mam-ma's a^pron like a ba^by. What a fool-ish
fel-low he was!

, Well; this sim-ple boy was walk-ing by him-
self one day, and a prct-ty black dog came out of

and want-ed to play with him; but the lit-tle boy
ran a-way. The do^ ran af-tcr hin), and cri-ed

and said, whatdo^you want, yoit black dog? we
do not know you. Then the dog went to Ralph
the ser-vaiit, and ptdl-ed him by the coat, and
pulled him till he brought him to the ditch, and
tlie dog and Halpii be-tween them got the lit-tle

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

There was a little boy whose name Was Hari*y,
and his papa and mamma sent him to school.
Now Harry was a clever fellow, and loved his
book; and he got to be first in hisi class. So hi»
mamitia got up one morning very early, and
called Betty the mai<d, and said, Betty, I think
we roust make a cake for Haitry, for he has learn-
ed his book very well. Audi Betty said, Yes,
with all my heart. So they made him a nice
cake. It was Very large, and stuffed full of
plums and sweatmeats, brange and citron: and
it was iced all over with sugar: it was white and
smdoth on the top like snow. So this oake was
sent to the school. When little Harry saw it,
he was very glad, and jumped about for joy:
and he hardU/ staid for a knife to cut a piece,
but gnawed it with his teeth. So he ate till
the 1)ell rang foi" school, and ailer school he ate
again^ and ate till he went to bed; nay, he laid
Ills cake under his pillow and sat up in the night
to eat some.
He ale till it was all gone. — But soon after,
this little boy was very sick, and ev-e-ry bbily
^aid, I wonder wliat is the matter with Harrv:
lie used to be brisk, and play about more nimbly
than any of the boy's;' and how he looks pale
and is very ill. .And some-bo-^dy said, Harry has
had a rich cake, and eaten it all up very soon,
and that has made him ill. So thev sent for
Doctor Phubarb, and he gave him I do not
know how much bitter physic. Poor Harry did
not like it at all, but he was forced to take it,
of 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.

Petef fiad written his mamma a very clean |>ret-

mamma sent him a cake. Now Peter thought
with himself, iwHl not make myself sick with
thiii good cake, as silly ^Harry did; I<will keep
it a great while. So he took (the cake and tug-
ged it up stairs. 'It was very heavy : 'he could
hardly carry it And he locked ^tup in his
box, andonee a day he crept slily up stairs and
at« a very little piece, and then locked his box
again. So he kept it sev-er-al weeks and it was
not gone, for it was very large; but behold!
the mice got into the box and nibbled some.
And the cake grew dry and mouldy, and 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.' ^w'j^ss* iM/rwoirr! kal r'jbMrffl^nb'^f''

one day his mamma sent him a cake, because
she loved him dcaiily, and he loved her dearly.
So when the 'cake came) Richard 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
{)arcel of bees; and Richard took a slice of cake
limself, and then gave a piece to one and a piece
to an-oth-er, and a piece to an-oth-er, till it was
almost gone. Then Richard put the rest by>

Tiddler came into the court: he had a lon^

a little dog in. a string to lend him. So he.caine
into the court, and sat down upon a stone^ an4

nothing in the worl^ but this little dog; and I
cannot work. If I could work) I would. Then
Richard went, without saying a word, and fetch-
ed the rest of his cake, which he had in-tend-cd
to have eaten another day, and he said, Heie,
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 Fiddler thanked him, and Richard was
more y^lad than if he had eaten ten cakes.
Pray which do you love best? Do you love

is lifted up to heaven erery moment, and hiN

jif-
The horse is a nohle creature, and my useful
to man. A horse knows his own stable,he clii<-
tin-guish-es his com-pan-i-ons, re-memnbers any
place at which he has once stop-ped^ and will
find his way by a road which he nas tneirefled.
The rider governs his horse by signs; which
he makes with the bit, his foot, his knecv or the
whip. '^» '^
Tne horse is less useful when dead tbanv some
other animals are. The skin is usefidf fw col-
lars, traces, and other parts of harness. The
hair of the tail is used for bottoms tj^" chairs^^
and floor-cloths. What a pity it is, tl^ cruel

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

. .W, THE HOG.
■I 'i
THE hog has a divided hoof, like the ani-
mals called cattie; but the hoiTes of his feet an
really like those of :i boast of prey, and a wild
hog is a very savan^e aiiimal. Swine have
always been esteemed very lui-tract-a-ble, stu-
pid, and in-ca-pa-bie of in-struc-ti-on; but it
appears, by the exantiple of tlie learned pig, that
even they may be taught.
A hog is a disgusting animal; he is filthy,
^Teedy, stubborn, and dis-a-gree-a ble. The
flesh of the hog produces pork, ham, and bacon.
Hogs are vo-ra-ci-ous; yet where they find pl<^h-
tiful 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 putrid substances. A hog has a strong
neck, small eyes, a long snout, a rough and
hard nose, and a quick sense of smelling.

4. THE DEER.
""1
mii^
^■\
DEER shed their horns an-nu-al-ly in the
spring; if the old ones do not fall off, the ani-
mal rubs them gently against the branch of a
tree. The new horns are tender; and the deer
walk with their heads low, lest they should hit
them against the branches: when they arc full-
grown and hard, the deer rub them against the
trees, to clear, them of a skin with which they
are covered. ' >'
The skins of deer are of use for leather, and
the horns make good handles for common knives.
Spirit of hartshorn is extracted, and hartshorn
shavings are made from them.
. Rein-deer, in Lapland and Greenland, draw
the natives in sledges over the snow with pro-
di-gi-ous swiftness.

la
i.
w
THE cat has sharp claws, which she draws
back when you caress her; then her foot is as
soft as velvet. Cats have less sense than dogs:
their attachment is chiefly to the house; but the
dog's is to the persons who inhabit it.
Kittens have their eyes closed several days
after their birth. The cat, after suckling her
young some time, brings them mice and young
birds. Cats hunt by the eye; they lie in wait
and spring upon their prey, which they catcl
by surprise; then sport with it, and torment the
poor animal till they kill it. Cats see best ir
the gloom. In a strong light, the pupil of the
cat's eye is contracted almost to a line; by nigh(
it spreads into a large circle.
Cats live in the house, but are not very o-be-
di-ent to the owner: they are self-willed and
Avayward. Cats love perfumes; they are fond
of va-le-ri-an and marjoram. They dislike wat-
er, cold, and bad smells; they love to bask in
the sun, and to lie on soft 'beds.

6. THE SHEEP.
70
i'-'
SHEEP suppiV us with fooa: tneir flesh is
called mutton. They supply us with clothes;
for their wool is made into cloth, flannel, &nd
stockings. Their skin is leather, which forms
parchment, and is used to cover books. Their
entrails are made into strings for fiddles; and
their duns afibrds rich manure for the earth.
The female is called an ewe.
A sheep is a timid animal, and runs from a
dog; yet an ewe will face a doe when a lamb is
by her side: she thinks not then of her own
danger, but will stamp with her foot, and push
with her head, seeming to have no fear: such is
the love of mothers!
Sheep derive their safety from the care of
man, and they well repay him for his at-ten-
tion. In many countries they require the at-
tendance of shepherds, and are penned up at
night to protect them from the wolves; but in
our happy land, they graze in se-cu-ri-ty.

THE GOAT

A GOAT i^ somewhat like a sheep; but has
hair instead of wool. The white hair i? va-lu- t"
u-ble for wio^s; cloth mav also be made of the
goat' sfuiir. The skin oi the goat is more useful
tlum that of the sheep:
Goats seem to have more sense than sheej .
They like to rove upon hills, are fond cf browb
ing upon vines, and delicl *. in the bark of treeb
Among mountains they climb the steepest rocks,
and spring from brow to brow. Their young
is called a kid: the flesh of kids is esteemed^
gloves are made of their skina. Persons of weak
con-sti-tu-tions drink the miik of goats.
Goats are verv playful; but they sometimes
butt against little boys, and knock them down,
when they are ieazea and pulled by the beard
or horns.

THE dog is gifted with that sa-ga-ci ty, vi-
gilance, and fi-del-i-ty, which qualify him to be
the guard, the com-pan-i-on,' and the friend of
pian; and happy is he who finds a friend as true
and faithful as this animal, who will rather die
by the side of his master, than take a bribe of a
stranger to betray him. No other animal is so
much the com-pan-i-f<n of man as the dog.
The dog understands his waster by the tone of
his voice; nay, even by his looks, he is ready
to obey him.
Dogs are very ser-yice-arble to man. 'A dog
will conduct a nock of sheep, and will use no
roughness but to those which straggle, and th^
merely to bring them back. The dog is said to
be the only animal who always knows his mas-
ter, and the friends of his family; who dis-tin-
gujsh-es a stranger as soon as he arrives; who
understands his own name, and the voice of Ihe
domestics; and who, when he has lost his tuas-

A dog is tbc most sa-ga-ci-ous animal we have,
and the most capable of ed-u-ca-ti-on. In mcst
dogs the sense of smelling is keen: a dog will
hunt his game by the scent : and in folio w'ng
his master, he will stop where the roads cross,
try which way the scent is strongest, and then
pursue that.

9, THE ASS.
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. He is often rendered stupid and dull
by unkind treatment, and blamed for what rath-
er deserves our pity.

,^|p^ ^THE LION.
83
l\
THIS noble animal has a large head, shor^,
round ears, shaggy mane, strong limbs, and a
iong tail, tufted at the ex-trem-i-ty. His general
colour is tawny, which on the belly inclines to
white. From the nose to th^ tail, a full*grown
lipn will measure eight feet. The lioness is
somewhat smaller, and destitute of a mane, y*^? '|
Like other Animals, the lion is affected by
the influence of climate in a very sensible degree.
Under the scorching sun of Africa, where hiis
courase is^ excited by the heat, he is the most
terrible and undaunted of all quadrupeds.
A single lion of the desert will often rush
upon a whole caravan, and face his enemies., in-
sen-si-ble of fear, to the last gasp. To his
keeper he appears to possess no small degree of
attachment; aud though his passions are strong,
and his appetites vehement, he has been tried,
and found to be noble in his resentment, mag-
nan-i-mous in his courage, and grateful in his
dis-po-si-ti-on. His roaring is so loud, that it
pierces tlie ear like thunder.

ll:' THE ELEPHANT.
THE elephant is not only the largest, but the
strongest of all quadrupeds; in a state of nature
it is neither fierce nor mischievous. Pacific,
mild, and brave, it only exerts its powers in its
own defence, or in thai of the com-mu-ni-ty to
which it belonjgrs. It is social sCkid friendly with
its kind; the oldest of the troop always appears
as the leader, and the next in se-ni-or-i-ty brings
up the rear. As they march, the forest seems to
tremble beneath them; in their passage they
bear down the branches of trees, on which they
feed; and if they enter cul-ti-va-ted fields, the
labours of ag-ri-cul-ture soon disappear.
When the elephant is once tamed, it is the
most gentle and o-be-di*ent of all animals. Its
attachment to its keeper is re>mark-a-ble, and it
seems to live but to serve ar.d obey him. It is
quickly taught to kneel, in order to receive Us
rider; and it caresses those with whom it is
acquainted. , , ; ,

.Hrv'r^.^_,.V>a.ii.' THE BEAR.^M»:<I \*?,%^v
•t^
THERE are several kinds of bears; such as
the black bear, the brown bqar, and the white
bear. : ♦;v-4r;'«'>'*|"':?:'^i .'..!■.■•::>...>
The black bear is a strong powerful anribal]
covered with dark glossy hair, and is very com-
mon in North A-mer-i^-ca. It is said to subsist
wholly on ve-ge-ta-We food; but some of them,
which have been brought into England, have
shewn a pveference for Hesh. They strike with
their fore feet like a cat, seldom use their tusks,
but hug their assaikmts so , closely^ that th«y
almost sijueeze them to death. After becominc;
pretty fat in autumn^ these animals retire to
their dens, and continue six or seven weeks in
total in-ac-tiv'itty and abstinence from food.
The white, or Greenland bear, has a pe-cu-li-
ar-ly long head and neck, and its limbs are of
pro-di-gi-ous size and strength; its body fre-
quently measures thirteen feet in length. The
white bear lives on flesh, seals, aiul the dead
bodies of whales.

II. THE IXOG AND THE SHADOW.
A Dog crossing a river on a plank, with n
piece of flesh innis mouth, saw its re-flec-ti-on
in the stream, and fancied he had dis-cov-er-ed
another and a richer booty. Ac-cord-ing-ly,
dropping the meat into the water, which was
instantly hurried away by the current, he snatch-
ed at the shadow; but how great was his vex-a-
ti-on, to find that it had dis-ap-pear-ed! Un-
happy creature that I am! cried he: in grasping
Nt a shadow, I have lost the substance.
With moderate blessings be content,
Nor idly grasp at every shade; #
Peace, competence, a life well spent,
Are treasures that can never fcide:
And lie who weakly sighs for more,
Augments his misery, not his store.

when his neighbours, believing he was in ear-

This trick he repeated a great number of
times; but at length the wolf ca^in re«-alri-ty,
and began tearing and mangling his sheep.
The boy now cried and bellowed with all his

A She-Goat shut up her Kid in safety at home,
while she went to feed in the fields, and advised
her to keep close. A Wolf watching their mo-
tions, as soon as the Dam was gone, hastened to
the house, and knocked at the door. Child, said
he, counterfeiting the voice of the Goat, I forgot
to embrace you; open the door, I beseech you,
that I may give you this token of my affection.
No! no! replied the Kid, (who had taken a sur-
vey of the deceiver through the window,) I can-
not possibly give you admission; for though you
feign very well the voice of my Dam, I |)erceive
in every other respect that you are a Wolf.

Takes the sure road to be undone.

A wolf and a lamb, by chance came to the same stteam
to quench their thirst,, The water flowed from the for-

but no sooner did the Wolf perceive the Lamb, thanj
seeking a pretext for his destruction, he ran down to hiili,
and accused him of disturbing the water which he was
drinking. How can I disturb it.^ said the Lamb, in a
Aj great fright: the stream flows from you to me; and I
assure you, that I did not mean to give you any ofience.
That may be, replied the Wolf; but it was only ^e^r-
day that I saw your Sire encouraging thp Hounds inat
were pursuing me. Pardon me! answered the Lamb,
my poor Sire fell a victim to the Butcher's knife upwards
of a month since. It was your Dam, then, replied the
savage beast. My Dam, said the innocent, died on the
day I was bom. Dead or not, vociferated the Wolf) as
he gnashed his teeth in rage, I know very well that all
the breed of you hate me, and therefore I am determined
to have my revenge. So saying, he sprung upon the
defenceless Lamb, and worried and ate liini.

INDUSTRY AND INDOLENCE CONTJRASTED,
^ Tofe 6y Dr. Pbroival. ^,^;^h[
IN a villue, at a small distance from the metrop-
olis, lived a wealthy husbandman, who had two sons,
William and Thomaa; the former of whom was ex-
actly a year older than the other.
On the day when the second son was born, the
husbandman planted in his orchard two young
apple-trees of an equal size, on which he bestowed
the SBjme care in'' cultivating; and they throve so
much alike, that it was a difficult matter to say which
claimed the preference.
As soon as liie children were capable of using
ffarden implements, their father took them, on a fine
day, early in the spring, to see the two plants he nad
reared for them, -and called after their names. Wil-
liam and Thomas having much cdmtred the beauty
of thes^ trees, now filled with blossoms, their father
told them, that he made them a present of the trees
in good condition, which woukl continue to thrive or
'decay, in proportion to the labour or neglect they
received. ;^ 'l^'^7^v>.tJH*-.
Thomas, though the youngest son, turned all his
attention to the improvement of his tree, by clearing
it of insects as soon as he discovered them, and pro'))-
ping up the stem that it might grow perfectly upright.
He dug about it, to loosen the earth, that the root
might receive nourishment from the warmth of the
sun, and the moisture of the dews. No mother could
nurse her child more tenderly in its infancy, than
Thomas did his tree.
His brother William, however, pursued a very dif-
ferent conduct; for he loitered away all his time in
the most idle and mischievous manner, one of his
principal amusements being to throw stones at people
as they passed. He kept company with all the idle
boys in the neighbourhood, with whom he was con-
tinually fighting, and was seldom without either a

black eye or a broken skin. His poor tree was ung-
lected, and never thouffht of, till one day in autumn,
when, by chance, seeing his brother's tree loaded
with the finest apples, and almost ready ^ break down
with the weight, he ran to his own tree,. not doubting
that he should find it in the same pleasing condition.
Great, indeed, were his disappointment and surr
prise, when, instead of findins ttie tree lotlded with
excellent fruit, he beheld nothing but a few withered
leavies) and branches covered with nioss. He in-^
stantly went to his father, and complained of his par-
tiality in giving him a tree that wils worthless and
barren, *"hile his brother's produced the most luxu-
riant fruit; and he thought that his brother should, at
least, give him half of his apples.
His father told him that it was by no means rea-
iionable that the industrious should give up part of
their labour to feed the idle. "If your tree," said
he, "has produced you nothings it is but a just re-
ward of your indolence, sinde you see what the in-
dustry of your brother has gained him. Your tree
was equally fuU oC blossoms, and grfw in the same
s6il; but you paid no attention to the culture of it.
Your brother suffered no visible insects to remain
on his tree; but you neglected that caution, and suf-
fered them to eat up the very buds. As I cannot
bear to see even plants perish through neglect, I
must now take this tree from you, and give it to
your brother, whose care and attention may possibly
restore it to its former vigour. The fruit it produce e
shall be bis property, and you must no longer tton-
sider yoursself as having any right in it. Howevcfr,
you may go to my nursery, and there choose any oth-
er you may like better, and try what you can do with
it; but if you neglect to take proper care of it. I shall
take that also from you, and give it to your brother
as a reward for his superior industry and attention."
This hud the desired effect on William; who clearly

REMEMBER thai Htne is money.— He that can earn
ten shillingB a day at his labour, and goes abroad, or sits
i4|e one half of that day, thou^ he spends but aixpenca
during his division or idleness, ought not to reckon that
die oply expense; he has iqient, or rather thrown away,
five shillings besiaes.
Retiiember that credit is money. — If a man lets his mon-
ey lie in my hands after it is due, because he has a good
opinion 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 considerable sum where a man has laige
credit, and makes good uce of it.
Bemefnber that money is of a proUJic or a multiplying
nature. — Money can produce money, and its offspring can
produce more, and so on. Five shillings turned is sixl
turned again, it is seven and threepence: and so on, till
k becomes a hundred pounds. The more there is of it,
the more it produces every turning, so that the profits rise

auicker and quicker. He ths^t throws away a crown,
estroys all that itmi^t have produced, even scores of
pcfmds.
Remember that nat sounds a war is hut a groat a dqif.
For this little sum (wnich may "oe daily wasted, either in
time or expense, unperceivea) a man of credit may, oh
his own security, have the conitant possession and use of
a hundred pounds. So much in stock, briskly turned by
an industrious man, produces great advantage. -v|^ •■ < '
Remember this aayir^y " The good paymaster is lord of
another man*s purse." — He that is known to pay punctu-
ally and exactly to the time he promises may at any
time, and on any occasion; raise all the money his irienoi
can spare. This is sometimes of great use. Next to in-
dustry and frugality, nothins contributes more to the
rauing of a man in the world, thatf punctuality and jus-
tice in all his dealings: therefore never keep borrowed
money an hour beyond the time promised, lest a disap-
poihtment shut up your firiend's purse forever.
The most trijiii^ actions that affect a man''s credit are
to be regarded. — This sound of the hammer at five in Ae
morning, or nine at night, heard bv a creditor, makes
him easy six months longer; but if he sees you at a Bil-
liard-table, or hears your voice at a tavern^ when you
should be at work, he sends for his money the next aay,
and demands it before it is convenient for you to pay 1km.
Beware of thinking all your ovm that youpossessj and of
living accordingly. — This is a mistake that many people
who have credit fall into. To prevent this, keep an
exact account, for some time, both of your expenses and
your income. If you take the pains first to enumerate
particulars, it will have this good effect: you will discov-
er how wonderfully small trifling expenses mount up to
large sums; and will discern what might have been, and
may for the future be saved, without occasionii^ any
great inconvenience.
In short, the way to wealth, if you desire it, is as plain
as tne way to market. It depends chiefly on two thmgs,
tndftstry and frugality; that is, waste neither time nor
Money, but make the best use of both.

By Sir Richard Phillips,

::.«,
1. — Choose a good and commanding situation, even
at a higher rate or premium; for no money is so well laid
out as for situation, providing good use be made of it.
24— 'Take your shop door off the hinges at seven o'-
clock every morning, that no obstruction may be oppos-
ed to your customers.
3. — Clean and set out your windows before seven o'-
clock;, and do this with your own hands, thsU you may
expose for sale the articles which are most saleable,. and
which you most w^nt to sell.
'4. — Sweep. before your house; and, if required, open a
footway from the opposite side of the street^ that passen-
gers may think of you while crossing, and that all your
neighbours may be sensible of your dUigence.
5. — ^Wear an apron, if such be the custom of your bu->
siness, and consider it as a badge of distinction, which
will procure you respect and credit
6. — Apply your first return of ready money to pay
debts before they are due, and give such transactions
scitable emphasis by claiming discount. .i.<:*^:j~'Vii,ii,
7. — Always be found^ at home, and in some way ' em-
ployed; and remember that your meddling neighbwirs
nave their eyes upon you, and are constantly gauging
you by your appearances.
8. — Re-weigh and re-measure all your stock, rather
than let it be supposed you have nothing to do.
9. — Keep some article cheap, that you may draw cus-
todiers ana enlarge your intercourse.
10. — Keep up flie exact qualitv or flavour of all articles
which you nnd are approved or by your customers; and
by this means you will enjoy their preference.
11.— Buy for ready-money as often as you have any
to spare; and when you take credit, pay to a dayj and
unasked. ; «>* •fnH-ctiM «c
, 12.— No advantage will ever arise from mv ostenta^
tious display of expenditure.
13.— Beware of the odds and ends of a stock of rem-
nants, of spoiled goods, and of waste; for it is in such
things that your profits lie. _j_ ,. ,^^ , . ^^^. j. s..
i-'W^i
iPP
14. — In serving youT customers be firm and obliging,
and never lose your temper,^ — for nothing is got by it.
15. — Always be seen at church or chapel on Sunday;
never at a gaming-table: and seldom at theatres or at
places of amusement.

17. — Spend your evenings by your own nre-side, and
shun a public house or a sottish club as you would a bad
debt
18. — Subscribe with your neighbours to a book-club,
and imjMTove your mind, that you may be qualified to use
your future affluence with'credk,to yourself, and advan-
tage to the public " •»<{!; ;
19. — Take stock every year, estimate your profits, and
do not spend above one-fourth.
20.— -Avoid the common folly of expending your pre-
cious capital upon a costly architectural front; such
things operate on the world like paint on a woman^s
cheek, — repelling beholders initead of attracting them.
21. — Every pound wasted by a young tradesman is
two pounds lost at the end of tnree years, and two hun-
dred and fifty^six pounds at the end of .twenty-four
years.
22. — To avoid being robbed and ruined by apprentices
and assistants, never ^ow them to go from hoitie in the
evening^ and the restriction will prove equally useful to
master and servant.
23. — Remember that prudent purchasers avoid the
shop of an extravagant and ostentatious trader, for they
justly consider, that, if they deal with him, they must
contribute to his follies.
24. — Let these be your rules till you have realised
your stock, and till you can take discount for prompt
payment on all purchases; and you may then indulge in
any degree whidi your habits and sense of prudence

Brief Introduction to <A« Arts onc^ Sciences, tnc/iu{-
ing Explanations of some of the Phenomena of Nature.
1. Agriculture. — Agriculture, tiie most useful and im-
portant of all pursuits, teaches the nature of soils, and
their proper adaptation and management for the produc-
tion of food for man and heast.
2. Air. — The air is a transparent, invisible, elastic
fluid, surrounding the earth to the height of several miles.
It contains the principles of life and vegetation; and is
found by experiment to be eight hundred times lighter
than water.
8. Anatomy — Anatomy is the art of dissecting the hu-
man body when deid, and of examining and arranging
its parts; in oi Jer to discover the nature of diseases, and
promote the knowlet^e 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 live orders, called the i u can, Do-
ric, Ionic, Corinthian, and Composite.
5. Arithmetic. — Arithmetic is the art of computing by
numbers : and n otwithstanding the great variety oi its
applications, it consists of only four separate operations,
Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication, and Division.
6. Astronomy. —Astronomy is that ^rand and sublime
science which n\ %kes us acquainted with the figures, dis-
tances, and rev'^lutions of the planetary bodies; and
with the nature a nd extent of the universe.
The Planets of oh system are MercurVj Venus, the Earth, Mars,
Jupiter, Saturn, Heiscnel, and the smaji). planets situated between
Jupiter and Mars, lately discovered, and named Juno, Ceres, and
,Pa!l.as. These revolve about tlie Sun ; and to Jupiter, Saturn, and
iHerschel, there are thirteen moons attached, like that which attends
.(he Eartii. Besides these there are Cpmcts; and .millions of Fixed
Stan, which are probably Suns to other systems.
7. Biogrgphy. — Biography records the lives of emi-
nent men, .»ud may be called the science of life and

manners. It teaches from experience, and is therefore
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.
9. Chemistry, — Chemistry^ is the science which ex-
plains the constituent principles of bodies, the result of
their various combinations, and the laws by which these
combinations are effected. It is a very entertaining and
useful pursuit.
10. Chronology. — Chronology teaches the method of
computing 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 va-
pours suspended in the air. They are from a quarter of
a mile to fc^r miles high. A fog is a c^oud whidi touches
tiie earth.
12. Commerce. — Commerce is the art of exchanging
one commodity for another, by buying or selling, witib a
▼lew to gain. Though private emolument is its origin,
it is the bond of society, and by it, one country partici-
pates in the productions of all others.
13. Cosmography. — Cosmography is a description of
the World, or the universe, incluaing the earth and infin-
ite space. It divides itself into two parts, Geog'raphy
and Astronomy.
14. Criticism. — Cnticism is an art which teaches us to
write with propriety and taste; but greatly abused by
writers in anonymous reviews, who make a trade of it,
and sell their opinions.
15. Dew. — Dew is i)roduced from extremely subtile
particles of water floating on the air, and condensed by
the coolness of the night.
16. Electridtaf. — Electricity is a power in nature which
is made to shew 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.
17. Earthquakes. — An Earthquake is a sudden motion
of the earth, supposed to be caused by electricity; but
the difference in the mode by which earthquakes and
lightning are effected, has not yet been clearly ascertain
n
ences.

the earth.
18. Ethics. — Ethics, or Morals, teach the science of
proper conduct, according to the respective situations of
men.
19. Oatvaniam, — A branch of the electrical science,
which shews itself by the chemical action of certain bod-
ies on each other. It was discovered by Galvani, an
Italian.
30. Geography. — Geography is that science which
madces us acquainted with the constituent parts of the
globe, and its distribution into land and water. It also
teaches us the limits and boundaries of countries; and
their peculiarities, natural and political. It is the eye
and the key of history.
31. Geometry . — This sublime science teaches the rela-
tions of magnitude, and the properties of surfaces. In
an extended sense, it is the science of demonstration. It
inchides the greater part of mathematics, and is general-
ly preferred to logic in teaching the art of reasoning.
33. ifa»7.«— Hail is formed from rain, congealed m it»
descent, by the coolness of the atmosphere.
33,. History. — HistCMry is a narration of past facts and
events, relative to all ages and nations. It is the guide

reason, when duly made ana impartially adminbtered;
without which our persons and our property would be
equally insecure.
35. Logic. — Lo^ic is the art of employing reason eflB-
caciously, in inquiries after truth, and in communicating
the result to others.
36. Mechanics. — Mechanics teach the nature and lavv^
of motion, the action and force cf moving bodies, a*^
the construction and effects of machines and engines.
37. Medicine. — The art of medicine consists in tUe
knowledge of the disorders to which the human body is
subject, and m applying proper remedies to remove or
relieve them.

lute certainty.
29. Mists. — Mists are a collection of vapours, com-
monly 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 called a cloud.
SO. Jkftwic— -Music is the practice of harmony, arising
from a combination of melodious sounds in songs, con-
certa, &c.
31. Natural History. — Natural history includes a de-

OUTLINES OF GEOGRAPHY. r i
Thr circumference of the globe is 860 degrees; each
degree containing 69 and a half English, or 60 geograph-
ical miles: and it is divided into four great divisions,
Europe, Asia, Africa, and .America.
The figure of the earth is that of a g!:,"_^ or ball, the
circumference of which, or a line surrounding its surface,
measures about twenty-five thousand miles : the diameter,
or a line drawn through the centre, from one side to the

other, is nearly eight thousand miles. The whole is a
yast body of land and water.
The parts of land are called continents, islands, penin-
sulas, isthmuses, promontories, capes, coasts, and moun-
tains.
A Continent is a large portion of land, containing
several regions of kingdoms, which are not entirely sep-
arated by seas; as Europe, Asia, Africa, and America.
An Island is a tract of land surrounded by water, as
Great Britain, Ireland, and Iceland,
i *< A Peninsula is a tract of land surrounded by water,
except at one narrow neck, by which it joins to the
neighbouring continent; as ue Morea, in Greece; the
Crimea, in Tartarv.
An Isthmus is that neck of land which joins a penin-
sula to the continent; as Corinth, in Greece; and Precop,
in Tartary.
A Promontory is an elevated point of land, stretching
itself into the sea, the end of which is called a Cape; as
the Cape of Good Hope, and Cape Verd, in Africa; and
Cape Horn, in South America.
Mountains are elevated portions of land, towevmg
above the nei^bourins country; as the Apennines, in
Italy; the Pyrenees, oetween France and Spain; the
Alps, in Switzerland; and the Andes, in South America.
The parts into wnich the waters are distributed, are
oceans, seas, lakes, straits, gulphs, bays, creeks, and riven.
The land is divided into two great continents, besides
islanik, the Eastern and the Western Continents.
The Eastern Continent comprehends Europe, on
the north-west; Asia, on the north-east; and Africa, join-
ed to Asia by the isthmus of Suez, which is only sixty
miles in breadth, on the south.
The Western Continent consists of North and
South America, united by the isthmus of Darien, which,
in Uie narrowest part, is only twenty-five miles across
from ocean to ocean.
Europe, Asia, Africa, and America, with some impro-
priety, are denominated the four quarters of the
WORLD. They differ greatly from each other in extent
of country, in the nature of the climate, and the prodac-
tions of me soil; in the manners, complexion, and char-
acter of their inhabitants; and in their forms of govern-
ment, their national customs, and religion.

The POPULATION of these grand divisions of the globe
is by no means equal and proportionate. Asia, which
has always been considered as the quarter first occupied
by the human race, is supposed to contain about 500,000,-
000 of inhabitants. Tne population of Africa may be
100,000,000; of America, 35,000,000; and 150,000,000
are assigned to Europe; whilst New Holland, and the
isles of the Pacific, probably, do not contain above half
a million.
The immense spaces, which lie between these great
continents, are filled by the waters of the Pacific, the
Atlantic, and the Indian Oceans, and of the seas about
the Poles.
The Pacific Ocean occupies iicarly half the surface
of the globe, from the eastern shores of New Holland to
the western coasts of America. Separately considered,
Ike Pacific receives but few rivers, the chief being the
Amur from Tartary, and the Hoan Ho, and Kian Kui
from China; while the principal rivers of America run
towards the east..
The Atlantic or Western Ocean, which is the next
in importance, divides the old continent from tiie new.
The Indian Ocean lies between the East Indies and
Africa.
The seas between the arctic and antarctic circles, and
the poles, have been styled the arctic and antarctic
oceans; the latter, indeed, being onlv a continuation of
the Pacific, Atlantic, and Indian Oceans; while the
Arctic sea is partly embraced by continents, and receives
many important nvers.
EUROPE.
Europe is the most important division of the ^lobe,
though it is the smallest. The temperature of the chmate,
the fertility of the soU, the progress of the arts and sci-
ences, and the establishment of a mild and pure religion,
render it eminently superior to the others.
It is divided into severalpowerful kingdoms and states;
of which Great Britain, France, Spain, Germany, and
Russia are the principal.
The names of the chief nations of Europe, and their
capital cities, &c. are as follow:

Thovoh, in the revolutioiks of fimes andetents, Asia
has lost much of its original' distinction, still it is entitled
to a veiT hi^h rank for its an^zing ei'Ctent, for the ricb^
ness and variety of its prbduetions^^ the beauty of its sur-
face, and the benignity of its soil and climate.
It was in Asia that the humaiVrace was first planted:
it was here that the most memorable traAisactions in-
dclpipture history took pllace; and here the sun of science
shot its morning-raysv but only to beam with nieridia»
lustre on Europe.

This division is frequently called the New World, tt
was unknown to the rest of the globe till discovered by
Columbus, in the year 1493. Its riches and its fertility
allured adventurers; and the principal nations of Europe
planted colonies on its coasts.
Spain, Portugal, England, and France, occupi^dd such
tracts as were originally discovered by their respective
subjects; and, with little regard to the rights of the ori-
ginal natives, drove them to the internal parts, or wholly
extirpated thiem.
The soil and climate of America are as various as na-
ture can produce. Extending nearly nine thousand
miles in length, and three thousaiid in breadth, it includes
every degree of heat and cold, of plenty and sterility.
The great division of the continent of America, is into
North and South; commencing at the isthmus of Darien,
which, in some places, is little more than thirty miles
over.
The numerous islands between these two divisions of
this continent, are known by the name of the West In-
dies.

A BRIEF SURVEY OP THE UNIVERSE.
WHEN the shades* of night have spread their veil over the plains,
the firmament manifests to our view its grandeur and its riches. The
sparkling points with which it is studded, are so many suns suspen-
ded by the Almighty in the immensity of space, for the worlds which
roll roimd them.
"The Heavens declare the glory of God, and the firmament sheweth
his handy-work." The royal poet, who expressed himself with such
loftiness of sentiment, was not aware that the stars which he contem-
plated were in reality suns. He antieipattd these times; and first
j sung that majestic hymn, which future, and more enlightened ages,
ijbould chant forth in praise, to the Founder of Worlds.
The assemblage of these vast bodies is divided into different Sys-
tems, the number of which probably surpasses the grains of sand,
which the sea casta on its shores.

Survey of the Universe.
Each syetcni has at its centre a star, or sun, viliich shines by its
own native light; and around which, several orders of opake globes
revolve; refiectine, with more or less brilliancy, the light they borrow
from it, and which renders them visible.
What an august, what an amazing coneeption, does this give of the
works of the Creator! thousands of thousands of suns, multiplied
without end, and ranged all around us at immense distances firom
each other: attended hv ten thousand times ten thousand Al'orlds, all
in rapid motion, yet caun, regular, and harmonious, invariably keep-
ing tlie paths prescribed them ; and these worlds, doubtless, peopled
with millions of beings, fonned for endless progression in perfection
andfeliciw!
From ^diat we know of our own system, it lAay be reasonably con-
cluded that all the rest are, with equal wisdom, contrived, situated,,
and provided with accommodations for mtional inhabitintp. Let us
therefore take a survey of the system to which we befehg, the only ;
one accessible to us; and thence we shall be the better enabled toj^
judfre of the nature of the other systems of the universe.
Those itan»tHiioh a|^iear to wander among the heavenly host, in
the pbaeCs. The |»imanror priBcipal ones have the son for die
common centre of their periedieal revohitions; while the (rthers* or
secondary ones, which are palled satellites or moons, move romid
tlieir primaries, accompanying Aem in their annual orbits.
Our Earth has one satellite, or moon, Jupiter four, Satnm seven,
and Herschel sijc. Saturn has, besides, a luminous and beautifol
ring, surrounding his body, and detached from it.
We know that our solar system cdnsists of twenty*«even planetary
bodies, but we are not certain that there ore not roon^. The nnmber
known has been considerabfy augi ented since the invention of tete-
scopes; andbymore perfect instruments, and more accurate obser-
vers, may perhaps be further increased.
Modem astronomy has not only thiis shewn us new planets, but has
also to our senses enlarged the boundaries of the selar system. The
comets, whieh, from (heir fallacious appearance, their tail, thefv
beard, the diversity of their directions, and their sudden appenrantse
and disappearance, were anciently cmisidered as meteors, are found
to be a speoies of planetary bodies: their long tracks are now calcu-
lated by astronomers ; who oan foretel dieir periodical retiun, deter-
mine their place, and account for tl/ > irregularities. Many of these
bodies at present revolve round the ran: though the qrbits which they
trace round him are so extensive, that centuries are necessaiy for
them to complete a single revolution.
In short, Irom modem astronomy, we leara that the stars are innu-
merable; and that the constellations, in which the ancients reckoned
but a few, are now known to contain thousandu. The heavenH, as
known to the philosophers Thales and Hippurchus, were very poor,
when compared to the state in which they are shewn by later astron-
omers.
The diameter of the orbit which our earth describes, is more than
a hundred and ninety millions of miles ; yet this vast extent almost van-t
ishes into nothing, and becomes a mere point, when the astronomer
uses it as a measure to ascertain tlie distance of the fixed Stars. What

then must be the real bulk of these luminaries, which are prrceptihle
by inatsucn an enormous diatance! The sun is about a itiillion times
greater than all the earth, and more than five hundred tiines greater
than all the planets taken together; and if the stars are suhh, us iVe
have every reason to nippo6e,they undoubtedly equal or exceed it in size.
While the phneta perform tneir periodical revolutions runnd the
sun, by which die course of 'heir year is regulatedt they turn round
their own centres^ by which they obtain the ahernitte succession of
day and njffht.
Our earth or (^lobe, which seems so vast in the eyes of the frail be-
ingB who inhabit it^ and whose diameter is above seven tliousand
nikle huhdrep and seventy miles, is yet nearly a thousand times smalir
er than Jupiter, which appears to the naked eye as little more than
a shining atpro.
A rare) transparent* aqd elastic substance surrounds the earth to a
certab height. This substsJice is the air or atmosphere, the recioil
of tt;9 winds: an iuonense retwrvoir of vapours, whicn, when condens*
ed into clouds, either embellish the sky by the variety of their figures,
pjid the richness of their colouring; or astonish us l^ the rolling
thunder, or flashes of lightning, that escape from them. Soitaetimes
they nwlt away; and at other times are condensed into rain cur hail,
supplying the deficiencies of the earA with the superfluity of heaven.
The moon, the nearest of all the planets to the earth, is that of
which we have the most knowledge. Its globe always presents to us
the same face, because it turns round upon its axis in precisely tne
same space of time in which it revolves round Uie earth.
^ It has its phases, or gradual and periodical increase or decrease of
jight, according to its position jn respect to the sun^which eniighteas |
It, and the ^&, on which it reflects the light that it has received.
The face of ihie mi^on is divided, into bright and dark parts. The
former seem to be land, and the latter to resemble our seas.
In the luminous spots, there have been observed some parts vtrhich
are brighter dian the rest; these project a shadow, the length of
which has been measured, and its track ascertained. Such parts are
m'-mtains, hif^er than ours, in proportion to tne size of the moon:
\yLu8e tops may be seen gilded by the rays of the sun, at tlie quadra-
tures of the moon ; the light gradoally descending to their feet^ tul
they appear entirely bright. Some of these mountains stand by them-
selves, while in ptjier puces there are long chains of them. ^
Venus hai;, like the n^toon, her phases, spots, and mountains. The
telescope discovers also spots in Mars and Jupiter. Those in Jupiter
form belts: and consideraole changes have been seen among these; as
if of the ocean's overflowing the land, and again leaving it dry by ite
retreat. . , •
Mercury, Saturn, and Herschel, are comparatively but litUe known :
the first, because he is too near tJie sun ; die last two, because Uiey
are «o remote from it. • t. -*
Lastly; the Snn himself has spots, which seem to move with reguw
larity ; and the siie of which equals, and very often exceeds, the sur-
$ice of our globe. .
Every tiling in the universe is syatematical ; all is combination, al-
finity, and connexion.

From the relations which exist between all parts of »the world^ and
by which they conspire to one general end, results the harmony of
tue wor'd.
The relationa which unite all the worlds to one another, constitute
tlie harmony, of the universe.
The beauty of the world is.foiuided in the .harmonious diversity of
the beings that compose it ; in the number, the extent, and the quak-

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

Whatever can be seen, heaxd, felt, or understood, is a
noun; SLs, John, London, honour, goodness, book, pen,
deskj slate, paper, ink; all these words are nouns.
$. An Adjective is a word that denotes the quality of
apy person, place, or thing. ;^ * ^f"^ ^ ■"] '' '
An adjective cannot stand by itsetf, but must have a
noun to which it belongs; as, a good man, a Jine city, a
noble action.
Adjectiyes admit of comparisons; as, bright, brighter,
bnghlest: «xcejpt those which cannot be ei&er increased
QruiminisiH^l in their significatioh; M,^fuU, empty, round,
square, entire, perfect, complete, exact, immediate.
4. A Pronoun is a word used instead of a novm. Pro-
nouns substantive are those which declare ^eir own
meaning: and jxronouns adjective are those which have
no meanihg, unless they are joined tc a substantive.
The pronouns substantive are, I, thou, he, she. it, we,
y«, they* theif. Pronouns adjective are, my, thv, his, her,
tiSf our, yoWi who, this, that^ those, thesj^jfihich, what,

5. A Vbkb is a word that dcnoteH the acting or being
of any person, place, or thiii^gj as, 1 /ouc, he futtesj men
laughf horses run. . In every sentence tiicre must he a
verb: in the above short example, love, hates ^ laughs rurif
are verbs.
An 8 is always joined to a verb after a noun in the sin-
gular number, or after the pronouns he, she, or it; as, (he
man ron«, he run«, or she runs.
The verb 6« has peculiar variations: as, I ami thou
art; he, she, or it, t«; we are; you are; they are; I toot;
thou watt; he, she, or it, was; we were; ye were; Uie]f
were,
6. A Participle is formed from a verb, and partici-
pates of the nature of an adjective also} as, loving, teach-
tng*, heard, seen.
7. An Adverb is a part of speech joined to a verb, an
adjective, a participle, and sometimes to anoUier adverb,
to express the quality or circumstance of it: da, yesterday
I went to town; you speak tnUy; here comes John.
Some adverbs admit of comparison: as, often, oftener,
oftenest; soon, sooner, soonest. Tb^se may be also com-
pared by the other adverba, mueht more, most, and very.
Adverbs have relation to time; as, now then, latety,
&,c.: to place; as, here, thete, &c.: and to number or
quantity; as, once, twice, mueh, &c.
8 A Conjunction is a part of speech which joina
words or sentences together: as, John and James; nei-
ther the nor the other. Mbeit, although, and, keeausct
but, either, else, however, if, neither, nor, thot^h, there^
fore, thereupon, unless, whereas, whereupon, wheihuer^ nOtr
withstanding i and yet, are conjunctions. n»ci ajj j , fttJ^
The foregoing are always conjunctions: but ti^ese six
following are sometimes adverbs; aUOi as, otherwise^
since, likewise, then. Except ana sav^ are sometimes
verbs; for is sometimes a preposition; and that is some-
times a pronoun.
9. A Frrpositiom is a word set before nouns or pro-
nouns, to express the relation of persons, placet, or things,
to each other: as, I go with him; be went Jrom me; di-
vide this among- you.
The prepositions are as foltow: about, above, after ^
against, among, at, before, behind, below, beneath, between,
beyond, by, for, frmn, in, into, of, off, on, upon, fnter^
through, to, unto, towards, under, with, within, witho^.

ittrLC L A verb must agree with its noun or pronoun;
fts, the man laughs, he laugh«; the man tslaughmg; they
«r« laughing. It would be improper to say, the man
tourA, he laugh; or the men u laughing; thev laughs.
KoLK 2. Pronouns must alway^s agree with the nouns
to whidi they refer; as, the pen is bad, and it should be
mended. It would be improper to say » the pen is bad,
and the should be mended, or he shoiud be mended, or
theu should be mended.
KvcE 9. The pronouns m«, «», Atm, her^ are always
put alter verbs which express action, or after prepositions :
as, he beats me; she teaches Atm; he runs from us. It
would be improper to say, he beats /,- she teaches he; or
he rims from tf<.
Role 4. When two nouns come together, one of which
belongs to the other, the first noun requires to have an #

SecT. \.^OfEmpha*u.
WHEN we distinguish any particular syllable in t
word with a sttong voice, it is called acctnt; but where
any particular word in a sentence is tiiti» distinguished, it
is called emphasUi and the word on which tlie strou is
laid, is called the emphatical word.
Some sentences contain more senses than one, and the
sense which is intended can onljr be known by ob^iervine
on what word the emphasis is laid. For exantple : Shall
ynu ride to London to-day f This question is capable of
four different senses, according to the word on wnich the
emphasis is laid. If it be laid o> the word you^ the an*
swer may be, "No, but 1 intend to send my servaiU ih
my stead." If it be on the word ride^ the proper answer
may be, "No, hut I intend to walk.'* If the emphasis be
placed on the word Londont it itt a different question;
and the answer may be, "No, for I design to ride into
the eoimlrvJ* If it be laid on the word to~duy, the an-
swer may be, "No, bat I sbiJl Uhmorrow,"
Sect. Vl.^^Direetionsfor reading with propriety,
BE careful to attain a perfect knowledge of the nature
and sound of vowels, coiuonants, diphthon|(8, &c. and
give every syllable, and every single word, its just and
full S9und.
if you meet with a word you do not understand, do
not guess at it, but divide it in your mind into its proper
numW of •yllablee.
Avoid hem*Si 0% and ha*s, between your words.
Attend to your subject, and delivtr it just in the same
manner, as you would do if you weie talking about it.

requires no variation of the voice, and is equal in length
to the semicolon.
An interrogation (?) is usf^ when a question is asked,
and requires as lon^ y pause as a full stop. It is always
placed after a question; as, Who is that7
A note of admiration or exclamation ( i) is used wheh
any thing is expressed with wonder, and in good pro-
nunciation requires a pau':e somewhkt longer than the
