Both the gentlemen whose Joint lsbors have
prepared this book are admirably qualified foT the
task. DR.. Porter has made himself intimate
with the principles and purposes oi Common
School Education, Us embodied in the sysicmso
the most enlightened nations and Mr.. EMERSON
is widely known as one OF the Oldest and most
successful teachers in the honorcd and intelligent
State which enjoys his labors. Both branches OF
the general bject arc fully and clearly discusscd
and VIC are confident that the influence OF the
work on all branches Of education must be OF the
most elevating and bcnefcent character. Ten
thousand copies of it have already been circulated
in this State by the liberality Of single individ-
ual: and we are confident that even this will
prove by no means the limit of its usefulness.
