H I S Y^kluable School Book has been for som e.lim e before the public, and the rapid sale 0 f two editions has induced the publisher tp give it a perm anent stand ing, by procarihg a beautiful set o f Stereo type plates, i t is not ROW necassaiy to say m u ch upo^ the advantages of teaching th e elem ents b f our language to children upon principles which are almbst univer sally adopted by tlie first* writers o f the age. I t is preposterous to a d i^ t the o rthog raphy and propunciation of iMltvorth, Per ry, or Webster^ in teaching the rudim ents of the language from which they are obli ged tOf d e p a rt as soon as they are advanced one step in education. T h e following po lice b f the work is from the A m erican journal o f Ediucation, a work o f consider able celebrity* published in Boston. “ I n m any sc'nopis •\ which W alU^r’s 'D ictionary is used, by Scholars of tfao m id dle class, it has unaccountably beenxmstom- ary to m ake use, in the youngest class, of a spelling booik entirely a t war with W a lker’s principles. T h i s oversight is the cause of .much trouble, and much waste of time, in building up, andpulling down, and rebiiil- ‘ ding, where tbe first effort m ight erect a perfect fabric at once. T h e spelling book •before us, is intended to accpn*pli®B ibis object. O f its success we have no doubt. T h e utm o st care has been bestowed on its •arrangement.. In several other particulars which our limits will not permit us to m en tion, it possesses equal m e r i t . T h e infer nal character of the book corresponds, in all respects, to the neatness a n d care of its ejtecution. , March, 1826. , __________ \ I?tr the f u s t of* JAPUfiry n e x t, th e un- settled acediiflts o f th e late firm o f ' B t s o n v h S c will b e left w ith a m a g istrate f o r c o R ec- tiom T h p s e V h 'o wish t o s a v e c o s t, a n d ustice*Infill pfpas® th ^ F p s t de, OB W *n- S e a v c r ,|r* , o n e o f t h e ; , 4 xitcu to r » ip fD o c t.

T o say, that his reward a n d encouragem ent have far excee ded hits h ighest expectations, would be but a faint expression o f his feelings; for the pleasuiire of those feelings is immeasurably iieightohed when he reviews the names of those who m ake up the great portion of his supporters. T o be distinguished with the countenance and favoi o f the wise and the virtuous, is at all times filtering to the pride of any m an ; but to a yodng m an, it aflbrds •a charm too great for language to express. Every motive, therefore, which springs from the strongest im p resM o n sorhohor and gratitude, will be called forth, not only to preserve, but to im prove the character of a publication so kindly fostered, and so gen erously supported. VVe have unrem itting ly endeavored, and shall bereaRer go on with increased zeal in our endeav'ors, to cull from the varied fields of literature, the oliuicest and most fragrant flowers, as a just, though humble tribute, to our fair rea ders. W ith a view to render the M irror still more acceptable -and valuable, we propose, on tile comm encem ent o f the fifth y ear, and to conCihue it w ith eaph returning quarter, to accompany it with a 3 P L E N D I D E N G R A V IN G , executed in the finest style of which t|ie sjLAle of the art in this country will atilinit.\ It is intended to present, in succession, me most accurate views o f our PRINCIPAL PUBLIC EDIFICES, followed by correct historical descriptions, so as to pre serve a knowledge of the period of their foundation, of the uses to which they are applied, and of such other circumstances., connected with theb% as piay be worthy of preservatipn.

B u t G reat B riU in abounds with such works, man v of .which exhibit the highest displays o f e.xtravagance and splendour. \ , T h e rapid growth of the M irror, and the distinguished c h a racter o f its patrons, have led to the conviction, that by embellishing it in the way proposed, without m aking itny additional charge fot the expenses that may be inicurred by it, will not only be altogeth er acceptible to those who are its present friends, but will be the m eans of recqro- nnending it Ijo such farther patronage, as to m a ^ the burden o f expense comparatively light. Should the weight, however, prove 'disproportioned to tbe income, the loss will fall erclusixely on ourselves' T h e typographical exccBtip** o f our ga zette has tBus -far been such as, in our o pinion, to w arrant a comparison with any other periodical in the Union, I n this, as well as in eveiy other respect, flatCring en- coniums have beenf bestowed upon it even by foreign; journ?lj|, Rut it is out Jhred determination not'to he excelled by any oth er publieatwn, in any way whatever. A r rangem ents are therefo're m aking to issue the fifth VVlume in ,a maner altogether su perior to any of-the ^preceding volumes .— And as regards tbe literary deptffthient,; we have to add. that a numbCr of individuals, distinguished for their talents and learning, have'^jB’feda-ed iliemselves to use their ut most elForts to sustain .the character and reputation of the work. F inding the present form of the Mirror better calculated to a’hswer all ihfe purpo- -ses intended by il than auv Other * and as the ENGRAVIINGS. froin that circum' stance, will be rendered much more valua ble and beautiful than they otherwise could be, we shall be careful to preserve the or- ' riginall shape and size of the publication. As we feel solicitous to enter upon the proposed new arrangement with al| conven ient expedition, We shall restrict the pres ent volume to fifty numbers ; but to make up for this dificiency, we intend to present our readers with an elegantly engraven vig nette . title-page. This, however, will be more expensive than to-issue the two ac^i- tional numbers ; -but as tlie advantage will be on tbe side of our patrons, we feel per suaded the exchange will meet their ap probation. Frfty-tw'o numbers complete a volume o f four hundred and sixteen royal quarto pag- e.s. for which an elegant engraved vig - NF.TTE t i t l e - pa ge , aiul copious index, is given.
