The popularity which the ' Books for Young Readers ' have attained is a sufficient proof, that teachers and pupils alike approve of the use of interesting stories, with a simple plot in place of the dry combination of letters and syllables, making no impression on the mind, of which elementary readingbooks generally consist. The Publishers have therefore thought it advisable to extend the application of this principle to books adapted for...
